Wasn't it this new shape of polo that had a fault a while back with cloth heated seats, the fabric was actually catching fire. They were supposed to be recalled but maybe they've made a similar mistake with others that they didn't recall.

Just checked it with another iPod as suggested by James28 so cheers for that mate, it works perfectly plays audio and charges. Now it was my iPhone I was trying but I believe the dock connecters were changed slightly so I need to source/make up some sort of adapter to rearrange the pin outs...

I should be fine to get this off work, will need to make sure the cars clean this time though for some great photos. 1. Tom - AB 197 2. mharvey - 172 Cup

It was the yellow one. Thanks for the link to the PDF and all other help. Lead isn't working but got a multimeter on it and that's fine so think its the aux not working on my headunit

Was thinking about the Cigarette lighter but not so sure they will reach. If anybody knows what colour the ignition wire is on the radio looms that'd be a great help. Can't seem to find with the search function

Hi, just bought an iPod connector for my headunit and it charges the iPod too, my question is how and where is the best place to wire the positive and negative lead. Negative has a ring on the end. Thanks

Thanks, yeah was good to meet you too, you got some good pictures of ours next to each other. Will certainly attend as many meets as possible as you're all a good bunch. Yeah was a shame, turns out Ricardos who I purchased it off didn't know, I wasn't sure if he did but certainly the previous...

Would love too, will try and move a work shift when I'm in tomorrow.

It was terrible parking. Walmsley69 started it so I just parked next to him and then chapperzuk next to me, was a knock on effect that Chris caused.

Thanks, not actually sure about the Xenon's, got the standards to go back in. The xenon's look a bit droopy :s not sure how to explain it lol

Dunno think I was close as well to be fair. Was good to meet everyone, had a good chat and a laugh with a few people. Same time next week then yeah :D

Yeah just a bit, it's running okay now, just gutted that I need to spend £400 on a clutch which was money towards a set of cams. Need to get better pics as they were just on my iPhone. Yeah is a stealth exhaust, fairly quiet until you open it up.

Typed that up the other day, since then though I have already had issues. Car started running rough so I took it to Fred@BTM who diagnosed it as a faulty map sensor. He replaced this and also informed me all 4 plugs were the wrong ones so I had those replaced. Unfortunately it also seems the...

Hello everyone. So I joined the forum about a year ago but didn't become an 'active member' till a couple of weeks ago. I found a 172 Cup on here which was previously Scott's and then briefly owned by Ricardos. So last Saturday (21st) I made the trip to Thundersley, Essex to buy the Cup. It...

Yeah it'll be Junction 2 that's best for me and Chris to meet you and yeah if you just give Chris a call and we can drive on and you won't have to stop lol.

Haven't been too star city for ages, are the speed bumps bad, my car is fairly low on coilovers and I have scraped it multiple times and only owned it 5 days ha. I'm looking forward to the meet too but am personally looking forward to the meat more....

Precisely, don't buy any cleaning products and spend the money you saved on extra chicken :)

I've already got a set of dampers. The previous owner of my car sourced them and included them with the car, I just wanted to make sure they were the uprated cup ones before fitting them to my Cup. Thanks anyway

Okay thanks

Okay so ideally I want to make sure I have the stiffer cup shocks as standard, any idea how? No other markings on the front shocks to indicate?

Oh I was told they were different and on the K-Tec website they state the rears are the same but for the Front shocks they sell 172 (non cup) and 172 (cup only) shocks

I have just bought a Clio 172 Cup. I have a set of genuine Renault Shocks to replace the K-Tec coilovers that are currently on the car. How can I check they are the correct ones for a 172 Cup and not a normal 172, is there any point on the shock that I can measure. Thanks Matthew

Been registered for a while but only an active member for a week or two. Just bought a 172 Cup and will get pics up tomorrow. Bought it off Ricardo earlier today and he recently bought it from Scott so it's been on the forum before. Got a few plans for it which will be revealed soon in a...

Have to admit I love it already, couple small things with it, main one being it's currently on ktec coilovers, they're not a nice ride and also too low at the minute so keep catching but that'll be sorted. Anyway I guess you'll see it in a week :)

I picked up my 172 Cup today as planned so I'll be there :)

Yeah was only joking bout the age but ;) The cup being more to insure would certainly make sense but no it's £300 less than a ph1 and £400 less than the others. Not too fussed about the climate control at all to be fair and love the blue, had 4 silver cars now in a row. Appreciate the advice...

Well I don't have a car full stop at the minute so getting there would be difficult ha, I have been looking for a couple months though now so haven't rushed into getting one :) Yeah I said just a 172 but it's actually a cup that I'm going to look at anyway. I have spent a while considering my...

I was previously on the Corsa C forum and we were at a meet when a member did exactly that, came to the meet sat in his car for 2 hours (at least 6 spaces away from everyone else, on a laptop so we didn't think he was with us), then the next day he came online complaining we were unwelcome. So...

Oh, might not attend after all :(

Hi all, I'm a fairly new member, been browsing the forum for a while but now looking to buy a 172 within the next week. If all goes to plan I'll be able to attend the meet. I'm sure you'll be welcoming :) EDIT: I hope you'll be welcoming ;)
