I couldn't see a 172 Cup photo thread, I did search. If there is one, forgive me. Anyway, here's a few photos of my 172 Cup add yours! @its.bowz on instagram for those interested.

When I test drove the Cup the clutch bite was really high and heavy. It was terrible when pulling away from a standstill, making it look like I'd just passed my test with terrible clutch control. The heavy clutch, I'm used to as all the Clio's I've owned have had heavy pedals. The high bite was...

I'm sure you'd have no problem selling those parts... Have no idea who too... *cough

When I bought this Clio, I drove it back home thinking to myself "I could daily this" and I want to keep that thought alive, well at least try. Being a clean 'OEM' Cup, I don't want to stray to far.

I'm trying my hardest not to take this down the 'ruined for the road but great on track route'. RE steering wheel, I've never had a problem come MOT time, could be the extra £20 I slip the tester. Joking. But no, never been brought up.

I can't recommend the 250/265 enough, best driver focused car I have owned and the car I have owned the longest. I think the 280/300 (latest shape Megane) is focused more towards a daily driver and unless you need 5 doors, then I'd opt for the Mk3. Really is a great car.

Imagine the effort of removing all that when they hand it back to the mobility scheme.

So I thought I'd solved the brake bias valve leaking, but in the slippery panic of brake fluid up to my elbows I managed to do something silly and cross threaded the brake line going in to the N/S rear caliper. Doh! Ordered a new one and all new braided lines for the bias valve and the calipers...

Loving this and the latest youtube videos.

Sell the kids. I'd like to think this will sell as a whole car and not need to be broken.

🤤

Many congrats to you and the Cup. You both look so happy. Super clean as always.

Yeah, gravel driveway would be living dangerously 😂 They are great and my back and knees are thanking me!

Decided to replace the rear bias valve as it looked awful and didn't have any real movement. The unions came out pretty easily after soaking them in WD40. Old and new As it was a job that involved brake fluid, it made for a messy and stressy job, trying not to get fluid everywhere. In...

Cheers @16v_paddy bought that part you linked to. Fitted it but I'm not sure if it's leaking from the same place. Replacing the compensator leaked alot of fluid and I've had to bleed the brakes a number of times. Does the compensator need bleeding? Does the nut at the bottom do anything of...

Hello, I'll be replacing my Cup's rear bias/compensator valve as it's leaking. Looking at the lines that run to it and and the union connections, I can't see them coming off 'nicely'. Is there a company that sells upgraded hardlines that run to the compensator valve? Thanks,

Slight bump on this for anyone following. My Compensator or bias valve is leaking from the nut at the bottom. Is that common? Will tightening it stop it or is it likely failed internally. Anyone have a link to a new valve? Cheers.

Took the the Missus and my daughter out in the clio this weekend. Nice to have a (toy) car we can all jump in and Enjoy. On returning I noticed a little puddle on the floor where the Clio was parked, but it wasn't where'd you'd expect at the front, it was towards the back? Stuck my head under...

I've seen a few of these locally and they've really grown on me. They look fantastic on the road. Silver is such a great colour too. Keep the updates coming.

I've gone in the traditional route via the rear door cards.

Yeah, skirts off. Stood here now and no silver sticker. Unless I am blind. Skirts off and the black rectangular brackets twisted just to check it's not under one of them. I remember all my previous 182s having a silver sticker under the sill and not knowing what it was for, but this is my...

Is this sticker on later cars as I can't see it on this Cup?

Thanks mate. Appreciate you getting on touch with me first when you decided to sell! 🙏

Looking for solutions for my 172 cup. The above links to the green plug Aux Wire isn't compatible with the 172 Cup Tuner List model. The green plug is the wrong shape and even triming it to fit it didn't work. Anyone have a good Bluetooth solution for a 172 Cup?

On the cards. How do you get cavity wax in the inner sills? Is there a trick to it?

I think you may be right. EML light. It's a 21 year old car. These things are to be expected. Thankfully ClioSport.net came to the rescue and suggested it could be an injector. All four replaced and it's running like French watch. 😂

Took the Cup for a spin over local roads and it's great. Very compliant over the pothole'd roads of South Wales and it's just the right or 'raw' to feel special. I did notice that the EML flashed very, very briefly. Took a quick reading of the resistance at the Injectors. x4 new genuine...

Recently @Alastair. advertised his Clio 172 Cup and although I messaged within 10mins of it being advertised, I'd missed out. @*lee* beat me to it. A week later I get a message on FB from Lee explaining he'd bought it on a whim and what he really wanted was an R26 Megane. He'd seen a Megane and...

With all those issues, I'll give you £500. Amazing work man.

So, recently the clio has been driving me up the wall. Mainly the above ABS + SERV light. I tried wiggling wires, checking earth points and a new brake light switch. Thought I fixed it, but I hadn't. Bit the bullet and bought the ABS module for the RSTuner. 3 codes. 1.ABS front right...
