Good point mate, even if your cars not modified I spose thy will still look for ways not to pay.

I dont have any mods except for the ITG.

Fair enough! Just so as I know. Im new to all these performance mods, so my knowledge is limated. You dont know untill you ask.

Why do we have to declare mods? Lets say worse case scenario, you write your car off and your insurance company keeps the car in order to process your claim, how are they going to know its been modified? Obviously IKs, ITBs, body kits, non renault alloys are going to be noticed, but what...

I have to park my car in some areas that arent that nice, keeping it dirty stops people from noticing it. Seems to work, so far.

Can you believe he bought it for 6k new! Got 8k trade in on his 182cup, he only paid 7k for it!

That is the next thing he wants to do. Hes used to realy quick cars. He liked his tuned 182 cup as much as a Subaru RB5 he owned. Gives you an idea of how quick his 182 was!

They do feel slower than a tuned 182 though. Slightly dissapionting!

Cheers mate, much appreciated.

Whats an IMG? If its anything to do with computer speak I aint got a clue! Im a bit new to all this forum lark, this is the first one ive ever joined. (I like my car that much)

Cheers m8. When would be a good time? Is he still at work now?

Anyone know how much a full cambelt sevice is for a 172ff from Yozzasport? (Cambelt, Auxbelt etc) Also how quick can it be done? I emailed the company yesterday but not had a reponse yet. Thank in advance.

My mate was initially pleased with his new toy, spot on buid quality and a much more grown up feeling about it. Now that he has worn it in he's not that keen on it. He had a 182 cup with a miltek ss exaust and a k-tec remap, he also put sparco seats in it which were alot lighter than the...

Ditch the spare wheel and get the moose that the 182 comes with. Spend some money on ss exaust/inlet matched and remap. Thats what im planning to do to mine. (not all in one go though, it would put me in the poor house.)

Sometimes I wish my 172 had 5 doors, would be easier for my German Shepard to get in the back.

That could of been me mate I work in cov and drive all over the place. I was on the skyblue way on that day. Late reply I know but been away over weekend.

It does it on mine too mate, diognostic check said brake pedal switch, changed that and it still does it. When the warning lights are on the t/c still works so I just ignore it now.

I bet that guy is single! Or if he was married I bet he isn't now.

Ive been working here years and never seen it before. Black 182 with cup packs in the car park of Enterprise house Coventry. Nicer than my filthy rocket mate. (silver 172ff)

This happened to my 172 except it would'nt lock, the whole boot lock needed replacing, wasn't to expensive. Renault charged me about £60 for the part, if you can find one in a breakers yard it will be cheaper. I then took it to a car electronics place and they charged me about £30 to fit it.

I dont know that much about car problems except the ones that have happened to me. My 172ff was doing this every now and again, turned out to be a loose battery connection. Could also be a flat battery. Not sure if this helps just thought it was worth mentioning.

This may be a dumb question but are you resetting the trip computer every time you set of? Mine showed the same read out for weeks untill I realised it needed resetting every journey. My 172 gets 35 round town and 40ish at 80mph on the motorway. Its 5yrs old with 54k on clock.

This happened to me the other week, both key fobs were fine, turned out to be a loose connection on the battery. Also check your fuses. Not sure if this helps, just thought I would mention it.

I got my brake pedal switch done at a independant renault specialist, only cost me £37 quid, renault dealers make there prices up of the top of their heads.

Ive got the same thing happening, I got it looked at and the diognostic said it was brake pedal switch, I got that fixed and its still showing warning lights, the garage did another diognosic and the computer said there was nothing wrong. They are out of ideas! W.T.F!

Thats what I thought, the T/C does work it's just crap. Back to the garage it is. Good job it cost me less than £40, dread to think what renault whould have charged me!

Yes it was displaying a fault code on the diognostic computer. But they diddnt hook it up when they were replacing the brake pedal switch. The T/C useless anyway, all's it does is stop the wheels spinning, I can do that myself with throttle control.

Yesterday I had the 172 in a local Renault specialist to get the brake pedal switch replaced because the T/C warning light kept coming on when im on the motorway. I've just driven down the M1 and it came on again! Is it because the fault code needs canceling, or is it because its still broke?

The cup racers have the same rear spoiler, the pics I've seen of the road version has a smaller one, like a 182 cup. Cup Racer for sure.
