Ah i thought id be looking around £30 and for that id much rather do it myself, thanks ill have a shop around. While im there might aswell look for steering fluid reservoirs. Just bought myself a inlet manifold for £10 and going to soda blast and paint (not sure what colour yet) and fuel rack...

Rather then start a new thread im going to get my 172 Cup tidied up this year so a few questions may follow Is there a way to get the coolant bottle looking new again? Rather then try and find a new one?

Is soda blasting best for cleaning up inlet (also want to do injector rail guard) but also been recommended aqua blasting. what would be better or both give similar results?

Rear wheel bearing groaning and intermittent engine management light flashes which is a dying injector

The sales man lied, didt have a new one in to drive with i was i bit miffed at but i drove the old 200. Not a fan, no sense of occasion and feels too tame. I suppose it dont help that the test drive only included urban and motorway driving no proper roads so i didt get a real feel for the car...

I adore my 172 cup but a very long story short I have a 3 week old picanto I no longer need and think on P/Xing both in for the 200. Although I will most likely go for a second hand 200 or might even entertain a tidy 197. I don't know a lot about the new ones other then their 1.6 turbo'ed...

As far as im aware i think he just put it down as normal 172 not the cup and there was a VOSA update issued a while back stating that the Cups do not have this spring in the rear brake compensator so not to fail it. In the end i rung Renault and K-tec just to get advise on the matter. I think...

There the ones ive got, Mintex parts which arnt the best but its what you normally would get from a motor factors. £57.99 with free postage. Alot of people have been saying that they often change the rear brakes and bearings on the little Clio's has theres no real rear end braking and they just...

Thanks, im not really concerned over the actual breaking as the brutally honest they are the best brakes ive ever had on a car, standard disc's with DS2500 pads. Not the most hardcore set up but perfectly fine for what i use it for. Mines a 172 Cup btw, someone once told me they only have 12%...

I havent personally done it (previous owner) but i think i remember seeing the invoice dated 2012

i think they can either come with or without. I bought rear disc's, pads and bearings last week with the bearings pre-pressed in but there are obviously disc's for sale without and if you didt ask for them to be done then i dont think they will of.

Apologies for hijacking the thread but its also related to rapid bearing failure. This is not my first Clio and previous Clio's have always had an appetite for rear bearings (1 every 30k miles or so which i could live with) but i recently had all 4 tyres changed, the rear N/S wheel was a bit of...

On my recent MOT i had an advisory that i need putting in layman's terms; Brake advisories: RBT Service brake efficiency 60%, RBT brake imbalance 7% and 20% So my brakes are only 60% efficient? Both disc's and pads are fine (front) the backs are typical of a Cup and are quite corroded but they...

Recent trip to Nurburgring. Did the previous trip in my Octavia vRS on stage two map and the lastest trip just proved how good the Clio was. Did a few lap's of the 'ring and proved impressive, went to Spa, although didt go on track there were 3 other identical Cup's there so she didt look out of...

Hi from 172 cup owner from up north :) Not the first Renault I've owned but first one with abit more to it, wish I'd bought one years ago. Been into my Vag's for a while but a 2.0tdi is not really ideal for track use :D ill get some pictures up of her once I've worked how to on my phone ha!
