Right, so the car goes into rentec tomorrow for the following! Cambelt Aux belts Oil Service Plug Change PTFE gaskets Fitment of Ktec carbon splitter Looking forward to it making a bit of difference as the belts were due last year even though the car is only on 64k. moving on from there I'm...

hi all, me and a mate (Ollie) were at loose end yesterday, so thought that what with living at the the edge of the New Forest we'd go for a bit of a drive and take some pics. Sadly we had to cut the day short as Ollies Leon overheated and then he killed his brakes, yet the Cup didnt falter...

Yep I take the a3 down then m27, although I seem to hit a jam near the roundabouts so trying to see if there's a way of avoiding them and still make it to work!

any chance of some contact details for the above? ed

On a slightly different note, said company are quoting 500 for cam and aux belts, plus another 100 if tensioners need doing too. Good price? I've heard that up north places are cheaper nut nobody down south seems much better really Ed

Am lovin it, but the rear end feels so light for some reason! Its 40 or so miles but its only a few times a week, plus a fairly fun journey, so I don't really mind Surely you get to work by 8.30 if you're at the end of the 272 by quarter past or so?

Only got the car a week ago so that would be why lol Work in chichester so the 272 is only really the start of my journey! Should look a bit more proper next week once it has the correct front grille and ktec carbon splitter on it! Only work down that way 3 days a week too.re abouts you...

oh ok, glad to hear it!

glad you asked this question, as i want to take mine off to paint it, and was intrigued too ed

Hi All, had some work done by a well know renault specialist last week. The told me when it was in that a driveshaft boot clip had failed, but that they'd secure it for me (for some reason this also cost £30) in 2 minutes. the way in which it was done has worried me a little though. they...

Are you on here? Seen this car 3 times, same time every day, on the A272 on the way towards winchester. I'm in a blue 03 172 cup. Waved the first time but not acknowledged, so got a feeling he isn't on here Ed

Off to renault for the RS grill tomorrow, then possibly a ktec carbon lip if the cambelt service doesn't come back too expensive! Mainly been spending the pennies on serviceables, such as new track rod, clip for driveshaft boot and a small hole welding on the cat. Full cambelt service on...

Hey all, went to renault to order the front grille my cup was supposed to come with (for some reason it came with a base model one!), and their diagram didnt really show what the new part looked like. does anyone have the exact part number for the grille? its the upper one i'm after, as...

Speaking of this fault, I had my SERV light come on as has my airbag one to the right of the speedo, should this be an easy fix then? ed

The last stamped service was done at 52k and a light with'serv' is now lit on the dash. Is this to indicate it needs doing? The other light is what looks to be airbag light to the right of the speedo. Anyone shed any light on this? Ed

A valid point! Am stuck at fleet on the m3 at the minute. No time like the present!

Yep Mork, got one. first journey in the wet today, so gonna see how it goes, having heard everyone say you need to be fairly nice to them!

Saner - one word - legend!

Hey all, got some dents I need taking out of the clio, and only know of one guy based in Pompey who aint cheap! Anyone know anyone else who's good, but also fairly cheap. Dents are all pretty small parking ones and too shallow for the paint to have broken any help much appreciated ed

if you mean ones with the cd player behind the fasica then i think both alpine and pioneer do them still, they arent motorised though. you just push a button on the side and it folds down ed p.s. I have a feeling thats not what you're after, so correct me if I just chatted total bo**ocks

gonna go in search of both bits anyways. grille could have cracked for whatever reason, but found one for a reasonable price so thats all good, and will prob get the ktec splitter at some point. theduck - what do you mean about the bumper stickers? where? also, anyone know a good dent removal...

is that not a sport grille on it then? I thought it was? As far as I know it hasn't had a bump. nothing came up on the HPI and previous owner said nothing of it. No paint mismatches either, so if it was repaired it was done to a good standard Splitter I enquired about but she also said it had...

Hey all, got me a cup yesterday. fairly clean on 63k with history up til now, cambelt being done next week Car needs a good machine polish and I'll be getting a dent man out to clear up the parking dents done by the female previous owner! Turinis have seen better days so they'll be in for a...

to be honest it's going to ktec next weekend for some work so I may as well just leave it to them to sort. reckon it IS the exhaust though. gave it a wiggle this morning and there does seem to be a fair amount of movement in it ed

think i'm gonna get replacement hangers anyways just to be on the safe side. how much are they from renault? ed

checked for that. It was as a result of a previous wheel bearing failure so the stuff has caked on since then. should be fine once cleaned ed

dammit, was rooting round the cupboards and thought it wouldnt work, so discarded it, mum and girfriend said give it a go, maybe i shoulda listened!

anyone? what would you say are the best plugs for a 172 cup, as I think theyre in need of a change and wanting to go for the best possible cheers ed

Bought my cup today, and the previous owner mentioned the wheel bearing went a while ago, and p*ssed grease and muck all over the inside of one of the wheels. The mess has obviously got more and more weathered on, and having tried both fairly intense wheel cleaner and Meguiars APC neither...

Picked up my 172 cup today, and it seems to have a dullish rattle from the rear generally when going over bumps. I have one idea that it could be, being that the exhaust is rattling on the rear subframe/axle? but not knowing the clios very well there may be an obvious problem thats a common...
