They are a little, but if i do some hard braking most of it comes off, the rear discs are fairly new

I seem to be having a lot issues with my rear brakes on my 172 cup scraping a lot. My brakes weren't working the best either so had them taken apart, cleaned and rebuilt by a specialist. They were ok for a few days but they've started doing it again. My brakes are working fine but the scraping...

Sorted it today, went to the scrap yard, got the female end of the horn connector from a steering wheel, plugged it into the connector on my new squib, put 2 spades on the end of it, connected it to my push button on my wheel, removed the earth spring clip. All working fine now. I can happily...

I've not had the chance to give this another go yet, I need some new spade connectors for my horn button. I have however got my self a new squib, not sure how this cost you £120, I got one from the scrap yard with some other interior trim bits for £15. I've heard a few people say that cutting...

what colour are the cards, are they much different to the cup other than the alcantara/suede trim?

I'm currently re doing the interior in my 172 cup and want to change the door cards. Can any one confirm with me if the door cards in a 172 and 182 are different? From photos it looks as though the 182 ones are black and the 172 ones are the same colour as the cup ones just with alcantara trim...

hmmm ok, I'll get my self a multimeter and do some investigating.

Yeah

I was just looking at them on eBay, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-MK2-01-06-STEERING-WHEEL-SQUIB-COMMS-UNIT-WIPER-INDICTOR-STALK-/112500994668?fits=Model%3AClio%7CCars+Type%3A2.0+16V+Sport&epid=557768658&hash=item1a3194f26c:g:lB0AAOSwNFVZfMLv I was assuming I can just buy one without...

Yeah I've tried that, didn't work

I did disconnect it originally but I was back and forward connecting/reconnecting, trying to get it to work. Yeah the squib works fine, all my electrics are fine other than the horn

That's my issue, not sure if it's fried before or after the squib

The fuse looks ok, I tried changing in anyways, didn't seem to help

Hi I've read a few threads about horn wiring, and people with similar problems, but cant find the exact answer I'm looking for. I put an aftermarket steering in my cup, when it came to wiring up the horn, something shorted out and a little smoke came from the solder joints on the squid just...

Just got in my car to move it up the drive to jack it up, 1st gears now working fine, took for a spin round the block, no problems...any ideas what could be going on here?

Nah cant get it from 2nd, reverse is fine. I thought linkage, but need to have a proper look tomorrow

I've not had the chance to check anything, was getting dark when I got back last night, Going to jack it up tomorrow and have a look. Refurb was done by Mickleton Service Station in County Durham before I got the car, I have the receipt from the job, but its not itemised, there's a few parts...

Went out in my car last night, pulled away fine, no problems, 10 mins later pulled up to the lights, couldn't select 1st gear. Took the car back home, tried it stationary on the drive, still cant get it in with the car on or off. All the other gears are fine, they all select and pull perfectly...

haha cheers for the advice, i'll remember that!

I seem to have had better results making my own adhesive, I just used some wood glue, some black acrylic paint and water. The DIY method seems to be the best, watched a video of some guys using pringles tubes as applicators, that seemed to work for them too. Curious to see what difference the...

That's kinda the process but the problem is that the glue dries so quickly, like 10-15 mins so you only really get one go, and covering a whole dash in glue and flock in that time is really tricky. Cant do it in sections either because you can see the joins.

Yeah I got the puffer bottle with my kit, it wasnt great, after a while it just started blowing the flock off. I've had another go at the weekend but this time I made my own adhesive and a mini flocker out of a poster tube https://www.installer.com/photos/flkmini.jpg I just tried on a scrap...

Yeah, apparently turps will take it off, then just lightly sand the remainder away. It's cool though I bought a spare dash to test on, I didn't expect it to go smoothly my first time! No I've not, problem is I don't know what the base of the adhesive is to buy a different one, some sort of PVA...

Hi, so I attempted to have a go at flocking my dashboard this weekend, watched a few videos, thought it looked fairly straight forward. Bought myself a flocking kit from FlocKing. Didn't quite go to plan though. The end result was quite patchy, I'm assuming either the glue set before I could...

Cheers for the replies guys, that photo helps alot man cheers, I think a dished wheel will be far too close for me so no dish it is I had a look a t the Targa, I quite like it, might be what I go for!

Hi, I'm looking to get a new steering wheel for my 172 cup, looked at a few but unsure about what to get. Just wondered if anyone had any recommendations? Also don't know whether to get a dished wheel or not, do they push the wheel back by much in comparison to the standard wheel? I'm quite...

Are you over 25? Try direct line I pay £21 a month for my 172 cup with all my mods declared

The Sparco ones cool, but really wanted the blue and black one as it matches my car, may have to compromise!

Yeah seems to be the case, just got to wait for someone to actually sell one

Hey, I'm trying to get my hands on a Sabelt Renault Sport Wheel, does anybody know if anyone still sells these? I've looked everywhere, seems like they've been discounted. Asked a couple of suppliers too, but no luck, Cheers John
