Post a picture of it there are guys that can probably tell you exactly what it is just looking at it. plus type the number plate into an insurance website, like confused, or ring renault and ask?

if you got it from a garage then they have broken the law buy selling you a 172 as a 182. Its can be dangerous (probably not in this case) if products are miss sold, so there are laws protecting you (the buyer). more info in the buying guide on autotrader. Do you have a copy of the origional...

Yeah but he will have to declare all mods (if he is a law abiding citizen) so then they will adjust the quote for a 2.0 engine with 1*2 hp ? if you don't then you can get in a lot of s**t!! plus i don't like the idea of my premium going up cos someone has just crashed a car which is being...

^^ straight or not i would walk away, would hate to find out there is something wrong when its to late, 1.2's were never designed for a 2.0 engine. If your mate has a crash and something is wrong/put together wrong then he will seriously regret it, if it don't kill him. I can't stress enough...

Found it £27 for a glorified bolt, what a joke!

just wait til you drive one for the 1st time, its so addictive. I have driven faster stuff but I didn't want the test drive to end the first time i had a go!

I was going to wait for my 3 years ncb but my pug died so had to get a new car and didn't see the point in buying something i didn't really want!!! Have you had a look at anything yet?

Cool, well i will be about over the summer,should be back begining of july. my number plate has CUP on it. Might be worth gettin a few of us together. Can meet somewhere in chester then go find some good roads??

I am at uni at the mo, in leicester, but during the holidays when im back in chester i work over near frodsham driving JCB's. Where abouts do you work? There are some amazing roads round chester, can't wait to get back and go for some proper drives, i don't really know my way round...

Altenator belt started squealing, only changed it the other day so thought it just needs to be a bit tighter. Had a look and noticed the nut that is ment to tension the belt was missing (10mm iirc). Didn't think it was to much of a problem until I realised the bolt it is ment to be on was also...

I live in Chester city centre! I have just upgraded from a 306 to a 172 cup. Its so much better and soooo much faster, you will love it! Look out for crash damage, I looked at a few in the area that looked a little suspisious?? Plus make sure the belts are done, or that the place you buy...

I've used a few PW on cars and for other jobs because my dad used to have a patio cleaning company. When its comes to cars (providing you are washing the car properlly not just relying on the PW to do it all) then you don't need anything to special. I have used a few that were very expensive...

Cheers for the offer bout having a look at the timing belt for me. Im pretty sure they have done the timing belt because I have a recipt for it and the tensioners and the labour. So if they haven't and something happens they will be in alot of s**t!! Now you have said it it does make me...

Thank you Thats how I did it. During the change I noticed I have got a leak on my power steering pump. Are they hard to change?

Don't appear to be but didn't really check cos thought i was more concerned about water levels!! Will have a look later. Are they hard to change?

Cheers for the info on the belt change. Did it today and it was pretty easy. only problem I had was that for some reason i didn't have a 16mm spanner. Got it sorted tho. I have another question! I replaced the belt and made sure i put it back round the pullys the way the old 1 came off. I...

not sure if pics have come up, can someone post and let me know if they can seem them? cheers.

Have just changed the aux belt on my 172 cup. When doing i noticed a leak. I'm pretty sure it is water and so because of where it is I am also guessing it is from the water pump. I don't know my way round Renaults, so just wanted to check?? (see pics)

Thank you. Its going in for engine mounts on wednesday because I don't have time/knowledge to do it myself so I will get the tension checked then, the mechanic is really sound so sure he won't mind checkin for me.

I haven't been able to get an aux belt but have just had a look at my car. Could I get a bit more advice with regards to the change. It looks pretty simple but was just wondering the best way to go about it. The only thing I ain't sure about is the adjustment of the tensioner/altenator. Am I...

k im i am joining now!

Cool! where do you get discounts? On parts and stuff?

Thanks for the advice. I am down in leicester, at uni, at the mo but will pop to a dealer on Monday sometime. This has saved me alot of time and money!! Bit of a random and probably stupid question but what avantages do you get for becoming a club member??

Thats very good to know. I got a cup because of its relative simplicity. I will get the belt sorted tomorrow if I can get hold of one on a Sunday! Where is the best place to get a belt from and do I need any special tools? How do I check the tension in the new belt? Is Gates stuff alright or...

Sorry to bring this timing belt aux belt thing up as it seems to be a very common thread! I have just bought a 172 cup. One of the conditions of the sale was that the garage had the timing belt changed for me as it was slightly overdue. 3 days later I picked it up, they assured me that...

Thanks for the advice. Don't think I will be adding braided lines to start with as it will be my first track day and so will see if the new disc and pad set up works without new lines. I am only considering the upgrade as I am re-newing the parts anyway. Does anyone have any recommendations...

Hey, I'm new to cliosport.net so bear with me and I apologise if this is a stupid question. I have just purchased a 172 cup, which I am really happy with. It is due new rear pads and new front discs and pads. I have been trying to decide whether to upgrade the pads and discs. I am looking...
