I'm toying with switching to a 200. Whats sort of figure do you think I'd get for my 172 Cup. All totally original/standard other than powerflow exh. , 67k miles, 3 previous owners. Very nice un mucked about with car. No rust. Any thoughts?

Hi. I am getting my oil pressure light flicking on and off and I think its down to the plug that clips onto the green switch itself. the light will go off if I give the plug a little jiggle. I've tried all sorts to try and make the plug snug on the switch but its still not a really tight fit. I...

Many thanks. I havent found new ones listed anywhere, so I guess I'll keep my eye out for someone selling a decent one.

Hi. I think I know the answer but, is it possible to get a new 172 cup carpet from anywhere? Also, i've got it in mind that there was something different about the 172 cup carpet compared to a non-cup car. Is it thinner or something or is that bllocks? cheers.

yellow and silver can work well...

SIlver and

wow! what a gorgeous 182 in RB!! how on earth do you keep it looking so lovely? its stunning

Hi. Ok, so an overdue update and a question if i may.. Shortly after the i posted, i bought a lovely 172 cup. two owners from new mid 60s miles. It is utterly fantastic and matches the descriptions that people gave me of 172 cups. I've done quite a lot of bits and bobs on it, had to change the...

this dodojuice one any good? https://www.juicydetailing.co.uk/washing-drying/snow-foam-lance/snow-foam-lance.html

hi. My snow foam lance has packed up after a good few years. Could anyone recommend a decent replacement please. i think i paid about 30-40 quid for the last one. Same sort of price would be good. many thanks.

Hi Graham. Many, many thanks for your explanation. Very kind of you and much appreciated. Cheers. Will

great. Thanks Graham. I'd found a post on here about the bulb types, will now try and find the bit about getting the unit out to change them. Many thanks. Will

Hi My 172 cup clock/thingy that tells you which radio station you're listening to (think its called an MFD) has become almost unreadably dim. Do I have to take half the car apart to replace the bulb/led. Is it easier than that? Any tips? cheers. Will

Hi. I'm after something brighter for the dipped lights in my 172 cup. I've had a look and Osram nightbreakers seem to be liked on here. Any other recommendations or anything else better that's come to market recently? thanks.

Hi. Having narrowly avoided electricitifying my nuts.... I have checked resistance etc through the wiring. A bit of jiggling about, now means that the horn works if the steering wheel is between the 1 o clock and 10 o clock position. Between 10 and 1, the horn will not sound. I'm afraid I'm not...

have you had a listened to the pump whilst someone else turns the steering?long screwdriver touching it and other end to your ear?

In the fuse panel on the side of the dash? Yes. Mind you, is there a relay or anything else for the horn on these? cheers for the reply.

Hi. I've recently put a momo wheel and boss on my 172 cup. All working exactly as I wanted, airbag resistors in place, horn parping nicely...and then in true idiot style, I ignore the old "if it aint broke, dont fix it" rule... I decided that I should definitely take the horn push off in order...

Well, I've changed the switch and it seems (fingers crossed) that its stopped the leak. I did notice that the "metal" part of the switch seems more like chrome painted plastic, doesnt seem like a very solid part. Guess thats why they leak! anyway, another PAS leak solved by changing the switch...

My suggestion would be to hope for an easy fix and check the oil pressure sensor and its wiring. I had something simila rin mine. Sometimes it would stay off, but upon revving the light would come on. Have someone rev the car whilst you wiggle the switch/wiring and see if the light goes out...

i'm keeping my fingers crossed that changing the switch does the trick as it looks a bugger of a job to change the PAS line...i suspect that the front bumper will have to come off. So annoying as I thought that I was just on the point of having finished my list of jobs on it.

many thanks. It definitely seems to be coming from the switch. I;ll keep my fingers crossed and chuck one on..would save a lot of work if it is the switch! Is it a Renault only part or can you get them from ECP/GSF do you know? Many thanks again for the reply:)

Hi. I have figured out that my 172 cup is losing a fair bit of fluid from, I think, just under the PAS switch sensor. I look the sensor off and tightened it back on again, but it still leaking. I'm wondering if this is a common problem with the switches? It seems weird to me that it could leak...

Hi, Anyone know what type/size of rivet you use to secure the side skirt brackets on a 172 cup please? It seems to require something with a large flat head - anyone able to point me at what I need to buy? Many thanks.

cheers. Thats what I suspected but wasnt sure.

Did the 172 cup come with an engine cover originally? I dont think i've seen one with but is that because theyve all been removed?

Its just idle musings...since I made the first post I've decided i'd like an alfa gtv, then a delta integrale, then a, then a....etc,etc. as i'm sure we all do:) Talking of integrales, i must have missed something but last time i looked they werent anywhere near the sort of money people want for...

i mean this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1995-RENAULT-CLIO-WILLIAMS-FSH-15-STAMPS-INVESTMENT-CAR-LOW-MILES/273744529642?hash=item3fbc7208ea:g:SFQAAOSwAzxb6Y0e

but apart from the rust ad the lack of replacement parts.....i guess i'd be looking at the rust and the lack of replacement parts right?:) i like teh look of this one, although I'm well aware what " a small bubble of rust" can potentially mean when you start digging.

\I'm just musing really, but please join in and give me your thoughts! Currently, I have a 172 cup. I havent had it for more than a couple of months but so far I have pumped bilthamber wax stuff into every crevice, painted everything metal underneath in epoxy paint and basically tried to protect...
