Unfortunately in the area i live we get a lot of this, lots of empty moor road and it can soon catch the inexperienced driver out. One of my friends sadly died in a car accident a few years back, trying to race a much more powerful car in a Corsa and hit an off camber corner with a full car..its...

Is it really worth investing a new throttle body? So far been through 3, first one went into limp home mode at high revs, second one stuck at 5k and 3 one stuck at 4,500k (all second hand) Tad pricey at £200 odd for a new one or is it just pot luck if it last the distance?

No one you know with a different code reader? Ive got one of them K-tec ones which are basic as they come and that still has to option to wipe codes and sorted mine when i had a misfire The light still popped up every now and then afterwards but went out by itself (Possibly another injector...

Just looked on eurocarparts for the motor, didt actually realise they were so cheap. I was expecting £40 ish for some reason. The aftermarket one works ok then?

This is what I wanted to hear! Taking apart the motor was not something I was looking forward to! Is it an east enough job? Just wipers and scuttle panel off then it's all obvious from there?

Hi, common problem of the washer jets not working (front and rear) I've read the guide on here of what to do but just wanted to know would just replacing the motor fix it? As the guide says you cut a little black rubber tube inside the motor. Is a manufacturing fault with all motors? They...

If your wanting to sell that Ramair filter I've got a home for it! :)

Just wondered if there are other Clio owners like me, which i highly suspect! Owned my 172 Cup just shy of a year and up to now has been relatively reliable (touch wood!!) but i seem to have a small parts collection. A friend of mine pretty much has a spare Clio lining his garage walls. So far...

Easy how you can rack up the miles around here, i went out a few weeks back and ended up doing about 200 miles. Go to Nurburg quite a lot and easy to say (other then the actual 'ring) our roads are so much better!

Im guessing your accustomed to the Hemsley road then? Clio is sublime down there

We have some of best driving roads up here, it only logical we have Cup's :cool:

Seen a couple Mondial Blue Cups around Whitby lately, wonder if anyone from here? One with dark alloys and 'hooligan' sticker on the bumper and one with silver wheels think lives in Sleights

Cheers Im wanting to do mine very similar, just match them to my alloys (anthracite with a silver flec) I have plans but atm little funding :(

Possibly going to sound a bit daft but the Renaultsport on the manifold, is it easy enough to get the result you have or it is a case of paint over it all, sand down and hand paint?

Beaut, the blue really pops when given a little TLC

Something does sound a bit amiss, my partner has the Mk1 1.8 MX5 and my 172 cup wipes the floor with it, well ok maybe not by a massive margin but there's definite winner between the two every time.

Where or how do i go about getting one? The ones ive seen i think people have made but then i found a few threads (dated years ago!) saying that they are available to buy. Im on a slow progress of tidying up my Clio with having a few compliments about been a nice example, plus ive always wanted...

Scanned it and came up with throttle body fault, since then been faultless.

True i bought my clio without driving one beforehand, i think it got lucky...I really want to see how bad this gearbox really is lol

Brill thanks

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but.. Recently took a trip upto DTM cars in Newcastle and thought while i was there and in the surrounding area id like to test drive the new 200. Rang a few days prior to ask if i book a test drive to which they replied no sorry we have non in stock and...

I know this has most likely been asked before but trim gel? My front grill is looking rather grey. I bought some Chemical Guys trim gel a while back, applied it thinly just to test and as soon as it rained it ran down the car :(

Sorry to hijack but does the RS tuner work as a diagnostics tool without a code/licence?

Hi..sorry for dragging a thread from the depths of the forum but this came up when I did a forum search. Needless to say im have limp home mode problems but mine (at the moment) only seem to happen with wide open throttle in 3rd (overtaking for instance, which is scary when you lose bloody...

Oh and forgot to mention, second time it went into limp home made it revs stayed around 2,100 and kept rising and falling without input. Which is making me think throttle sensor

Hi I've done a quick search of limp home mode and not really seem to come to a real conclusive answer and my scenario seems different. when overtaking in 3rd gear with full throttle, twice it has gone into limp home mode. I scanned it with my handheld scanner when it first happened (with the...

I was supposed to have been twice already but bloody work has got in the way :/ With changing jobs and starting a college again ive had to cancel 3 holidays so far. Not booked to go to Nurburg till July now A friend lives around 1 km from the 'ring so real good for last minute booking, would...

correct, used to go mcdonalds alot when I first past. I don't believe the novelty wears off you just get bored of what or where your driving. Im still only 25, been driving around 6 years and yeah some days the last thing I want to do is drive but other times (when the road is clear) I love it.

I used to go for random drives all the time, tbh I always used to end up at a mcdonalds! Don't go for many nowadays, not sure why really. I take my little Cup on some good roads as part of my destination most times though

As said its the French ive had bother with. Depending on which route your going (dover or hull) But ive never had bother with German police. Out of interest where you staying?
