Now then,
Locked my car the other day and it made that high pitched sound they do if a doors open. Unlocked and went round and checked all the doors. All okay, so I re-locked. Same problem. Eventually got it to lock after opening and closing the bonnet. Alarm then went off in the middle of the...
Need some advice!!!!
In September I was in a queue of traffic doing about thirty. The guy in front changed from 3rd to 4th, his “foot slipped off the clutch” stalling the car with no brake lights. By the time Id realised he’d just about stopped dead, I had nowhere to go. Tried to swerve round...
Its about time I replaced the tyres on my Cup. Curently got Yoko A539 on the front and Avons on the back. Yokos are scary in the wet and good in the dry.
Looking to replace all 4 for less than 250 if possible...
Any suggestions?
Ta!
Now then,
Thinking about px'ing my Cup 172 against a Trophy and have arranged a test drive... Is it worth making the switch? How much should I be aiming to pay?
Given that the salesman didn't know "which colour the demo car would be"???!!! I don't think Ill get much sense from him, so any...
Just got a phone call from my local dealer after complaining at the dire service I received on my numerous vists (19 in 10 months)... They have offered to put a warranty on the car for 2 more years (It was due to expire on the 23rd). Have to go in next week to work out the terms (mileage etc...
Took me Cup in for its 24k service. They wanted 190, but I told them the local dealer (who are so bad I will never go back to) would do it for 170 so they matched it.
Told me the handbrake needed adjusting and some new wiper blades which would total upto about 40 so I let em get on with it...
Is what my Cup sounds like at idle, particlularly when its in the garage and the noise bounces off the walls. Its always been like that... I thought it was normal but a non Clio owning friend pointed it out the other day adnI just want to check that its normal????
Posetd a while ago about the Cup being releuctant to start, almost as if its being strangled... The revs come in slow and sometimes it turns over but wont start.
Found a way round it this morning... Turn the ignition to the on position then back off. Then start and its perfect.
Does this...
Anyone know what this is all about?
Sometimes when I fire up the Cup on a morning, instead of it going straight to about 1250 rpm, it goes to 750, then climbs to normal. Maybe once a week, it needs two attempts to get it going. Had it in Reno last week and they reckoned it was to do with the...

Not sure if this has been posted before...
Nice badges...
:o
Going to work this morning and all was well in the world of the Cup.
Turned left off a roundabout and onto a stretch of dual carriageway behind an Audi A4. Indicated and moved into the right hand lane to overtake. Suddenly he started drifting (no car in front of him) onto my lane. I started...
Thinking about heading down over the Alps in the Cup next month.
Problem is... Im currently on 21k and will probably be on just short off 22 when Im due to leave. The journey will probably be about 3000 miles so if I leave the 24k service till I get back, I will have gone over the 24 mark by...
Noticed the other day that when the pedal is to the floor, if I push it a bit more it clicks through a bit further, a bit like a switch...
Whats that all about???
Heading North near Catterick, Silver 172 Mk2, Red 172 Mk2 (followed me for 10 miles) and a V6 (not sure which one as could only see roof line) heading south.
Anyone on here?
Coming home from work last night, following someone in a 306 Rallye. Id only just left work so I was taking it nice and easy until the car warmed up. Guy in front seemed to be going steady too.
Until we reached the A1 roundabout. For some reason he nailed it, and almost ran straight into the...
Now then,
How is everyones interiors standing up to use? My Cups driving seat is startign to wear on the o/s bolster already and its only done 18k!!! Im a skinny runt too!
The foam also seams to be wearing unevenly at the base of the backrest...
Normal???
