Theyre not all like that...Ive only had 2 things worked on under warranty, and both have been dealt with in a timely way and very efficiently. I do vividly remember the "F*** me, this is mad!" feeling 5 mins after pulling away for the first time... great isnt it :D It doesnt fade either...

Mine went just like that before Christmas... it ended up being the throttle body/housing that was at fault.

...and does the Extreme 4 dCi have a RS body kit fitted? It certainly looked like it did in the advert...

I might have missed something on here lately, but in the advert wasnt he driving a Dci with a RenaultSport bodykit on it? Is that a standard offering now? Very :( if it is.

Breakfast run, Breakfast run, Breakfast run...:devilish:

Take it to Mike172sport at Linningtons in Portsomuth Day...10% discount off everything, and the oil charge can be as low as £14 if you buy it over the parts counter before hand your keys in.

If theres a total loss claim, theyre going to have to cover the extra cost of those options (be them manufacturer fitted or otherwise) in what they payout. Why should insurance companies take a premium based on a car costing £12500, and expect to have to payout £13000 when its totalled? Theyd...

I thought to appreciate and judge handling...you kind of needed to be sat behind the wheel? Or have you let numerous forum members have a long enough drive in your car to judge it for themselves? Willy Williams - I can see totally where youre coming from, as I said earlier...its all...

Interesting points from all (and not the hornets nest it could have been Roy)... my thoughts... In my opinion it all comes down to how you define "Handling" (which in itself is very subjective)? To some, a car thats sprung so stiffly it shakes your fillings out "handles". To others, a car...

My Cup was registered on 25/11/03, and Im the second "owner" since 28/11/03... I dont feel thats a problem for me as when I come to sell it (if I ever do) itll be apparent to the purchaser that Im the real 1st owner (last change of ownership details on the V5)... theyre the ones that will have a...

Id recommend giving them a call Andy... Lynsey was my contact, and apart from the 5 month wait (thanks to the Renault summer shutdown I believe), they were true to their word. Lynsey did also say that what was listed on the website was not a definitive listing, so a V6 may well be possible.

Not tried them Andy, but my Cup came through New-Car-discount.com Good price, guaranteed part-exchange, and a five month wait :( Worth it in the end though as I effectively had five months depreciation free motoring, covering 10,000 extra miles before the Cup arrived.

Gutted! Youre having all the bad luck Si... what happened?

Nice one Jon!

14mpg from a very hard session round Combe is the worst Ive seen so far.

That theres fighting talk Ian I tell ya...

I dont look at the seats when Im sat on them. I dont look at the wheel when Im driving... out the windscreen usually works best for me ;) I lower my windows in the summer to keep cool (as I have done for the last 15 years). I practice cadence braking to cover off the missing ABS. I can...

Id say if the road was clear then it may favour the V6... but knowing full well how you can man-handle your Cup, it would take a very committed V6 driver to keep up with you on your local stomping ground. Different; drivers, traffic, roads, conditions - all make a difference... wouldnt have...

Thats exactly what I remember from my training too... the clutch is for pulling away and smoothing tranisition from gear to gear. The handbrake is for holding the car stationary.

Hope you get it sorted CupCake... by Feb at the latest cause thats when the next breakie run will be.

No more breakfast runs for you now CupCake.

...as I have too. Luxuries, at the end of the day, mean s*** when youre faced with a windy back road, the suns shining, youve got some heat in the tyres, and a huge grin on your face. Thats why Ive got a 172 Cup... it does exactly what it promises too :D

Mine gets driven as it was intended to be... EVERY SINGLE DAY. As above though... only when roads are clear, sight-lines are good, and only within the Cups (and my own) limits. Dont hit the limiter that often, but then I do have an extra 500 rpm to play with over standard Cups :D

The Daipac ones work very well :D

Could it have been a wet manhole cover that kicked your back wheels out...?

The unit itself... http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1101669017__100_2463.jpg The laser detector module... http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1101669021__100_2464.jpg The GPS aerial... http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1101669024__100_2465.jpg The...

The aerial for the GPS is on the end of a 3 or 5 metre cable which is more than enough to get that comfortably to the back of the car where you can mount it either on the parcel shelf or on a by a side window. As far as the unit itself goes... it performs exactly like all the reviews said it...

Totally agree with you both ^^^^^^ Id would miss the rubber bits on the steering wheel though ;)

PM Has to get his best price...

Recently purchased an Origin B2 from Has 16v which arrived on Friday as promised. Was nicely packaged and sent Special Delivery insured for £500. 1st impressions with the kit were; nicely built and put together lots of useable features straightforward to install (with the cable...
