Id be surprised if your Bhp was over 182/3ish at the very most!

A RS Clio runnning on 3 cylinders would be a more even match for a C2VTS! Id get your car looked at if you are struggling to keep up with one!

If its coming from middle of car underneath, behind engine it is likely that it is the exhaust manifold knocking. I had this when I first got the car. You can change the engine mounts but there is a guide on here somewhere on slighty moving the engine on the main OS upper mount. I did this and...

I travelled to the garage at the back of my house and back to get the right tools! That way i knew it was getting done right. That and I'd just had a 500 mile round trip to pick the car up originally! :)

The above link which no longer seems to work is an excellent fix for it. basically involved just putting a bit of rubber hosing round the bar bit that presses in next to the handle when the sunroof is closed. I did thi son my girlfriends sunroof last year and it is yet to creak again! :)

I'm pretty sure its the track rods, how easy are they to replace?

The shocks are try and are returning ok when jumping up and down on the front of the doorframes and the springs look perfectly in tact. Wouldnt think they would make a difference at trundling speeds?

Hi guys, Am having a problem that I see from searching seems to be quite a common one on the 172. When at speed on fast bends the steering is very twitchy and the front end of the car doesn't seem very stable. Also at slow speeds the steering wheel sometimes needs wrestled to stay in the centre...

Are Vidoes playin, erm...jerkily as well? If you right click on My Computer and select Manage and then go to Device Manager. On the list on the right is there any yellow, specifically against Video Controller? Sounds like Video driver is not correct on. Assuming Windows XP.

If you take off or loosen the top of the front splashg guard it is a black rectangular canister bout the size of a brick. Theres a couple of connectors at the top.

Either dephaser or charcoal canister. If its coming from lower down in front of wheel arch it will be the canister.

Justice was served! Well done! Glad no one else was involved though and got hurt!

Would never go near Arnold Clark again bunch of rogues!!

Theres a white one in the showroom at Ayr! Not sure if Cup or not!

I'll possibly be in the Ayr Renault dealer tomorrow I'll have a look!

Its the cams changing phase when you hear the noise think its about 1800rpmpossibly this happens. I'd be looking to get it changed asap.

They are only like a fiver from Renault for new Gaitor and plastic bit that clips in.

I though the existing model fitted a 172 Cup ok but not the 182 cup packed?

Re: Shacking at high speeds (not balance or tracking) Shock absorbers?

Re: Shacking at high speeds (not balance or tracking) Are you feeling the shaking through steering wheel mainly?

Hi mate, Welcome to the site. I'm sure theres a guide somewhere about but can't find it. Anyway here's a thread with a pic of what it looks like on the engine and then off the engine. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=337680&highlight=tdc It is only two bolts. It is located...

I had them previously and they were ok. Nothing exceptional but they did wear out pretty fast and once they were half worn the traction was poor in the wet!

A squeeky sunroof would be good as well but suppose would add weight!

I love people who don't realise they're getting their handle cranked.... Dynamique Cups rule!!!! Shame they didn't base it on the Extreme though!

I just put a tie wrap on the bit that sticks out form the car with a rubber washer from a Grolsh bottle pressed against the heatshield and has been on for over a year now.

Has those much nicer looking alloys as well and you can change the Aux belt with two spanners while on a coffee break at work for less than a tenner! :p

If you make sure the middle section is supported properly by the middle hanger then the rear one also tends to last better!

Yeah - worse case scenaio wheel comes off which is never good!

I'd be interested depending on eta

I used to have aRaven blue one and of all the cars that I have owned, some a lot quicker the Lupo Gti was the one I found myself taking the long road home most often, great fun.Good choice of wheels - the standard ones are a pain in the arse to clean. WIll
