I’ll start by unplugging the injectors one at a time and see if anything changes to work out if it’s an injector. Have already checked what plugs I can find and all seem good.

My new to me Clio 172 cup has the engine light on. When I picked it up it sounded like it’s running on 3 cylinder. Changed the plugs, leads, and coil pack in the hope this would cure the problem but it hasn’t. Light is on solidly for a few minutes, then will flash for 15-20 seconds and go back...

I went out today and picked up a car. Found a 172 cup relatively local to me. Hasn’t been on the road in over a year so need a little freshen up plus getting the belts done. Hopefully be on the road in a few weeks.

So after a near enough 20 year break I’m looking for another Clio as fun thing for the odd track day and some spirted weekend driving. Back in 2005 I bought my first Clio, a silver PH1 reg W744WTR. It’s was the long term test car for evo before I got it. I sold this after 2 years and bought a...

Did anything ever happen with getting a group buy sorted?

You got it. I was trying to sort out getting the money together and noticed it had already sold before I was ready. Looked like a good one from the advert.

The emmisions light in my 182 has just come on, is there anything to look at or is it best to take it to the garage? Cheers All

Had Toyo T1R's on my 205 Gti, half a day at brands and they were destroyed. The pattern had worn away to points so you had next to no grip by lunch time so the rest of the day was pretty rubbish. I've got P Zero Nero's at the moment, a bit pricey, about £140 for two but i think they're very...

Whats the best stuff for removing all the scratches from my car. None of them are major just there are quite alot of them. Do i go down the T cut route or is there something better? Can anyone recommend a good wax/polish for the car? Cheers All

Would it be any good in a Road car or is it strictly race?

Found on ebay, don't know if anyone knows what it is. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Renault-clio-cup-ecu-172-182-race-car-track-car_W0QQitemZ270369308975QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item270369308975&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318...

If you've got an old type license with either B + E or B1 ( I think ) then you can tow a trailor over 750kgs. If it's a newer license you can't tow anything that weighs more than 750kgs without doing a test. Not sure if that helps

Its a 54 reg and came from Bexhill so it was only half an hour from me. Went to halfrauds yesterday and got some colour match wax for it so i can hide the chips, only been driving it for less than 48 hours and its filthy already. But living in the countryside with horses, tractors and mud just...

Picked it up yesterday, its a black 182 with 55,000 miles on the clock. Took me ages to find someone who would take my Volvo S70 in part exchange but i did it and after parting with £4000 its now mine. Only thing i've found i don't like with it is the car being black it shows up all the stone...

I'm in the process of buying another clio. My first car was a 1.2 Clio, then after after few other cars i brought a Ph1 172, then after another few car i brought a Williams 3 and a few more cars and i'm buying a 182 this Saturday. So in answer to the question yes i would buy another Renault.

Here's a link to the advert, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-CLIO-SPORT-2-0l-182-bhp_W0QQitemZ320351422052QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item320351422052&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A7%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 Been trying to work out what its got, but think its jst a 182 FF

Just rang the guy turns outs its not a cup but its got the goodies in the car like cruise control which is what i was after. The belts have been done and its on a 54 reg and in black. Even though its not a cup still think its a good price.

Guy who I have been talking to has offered me his 182 cup for £4700. It's done 53k miles has fsh and the car is in excellent condition. Is this a good price given the current climate? Cheers all

Think you've got it in your favour that you live further North than i do. I live just South of London and the cars round me always seem to be the most expensive in the country. As someone else said if you can't get the price down to a reasonable amount just walk away. Then if they've still...

I've also been looking at Cups as i'm after another clio. When i asked a similar question about 2 weeks ago i was told around the £4k mark for a 172 with 40,000 miles. Been out looking at some over the weekend and if you pay less than 4 you get one with 60k + miles. I went and looked at two...

I'm after a new car and have a budget of just over £5000. It needs to be a good road car but i also do track days so needs to be able to cope with some track work. My previous car was a Phase 1 172, which i put some coilovers on and loved it. It was a good everyday car and good fun on the...

My mate/local garage will do them for around £200 plus the cost of the belt. He's done about 5-6 now.

The prices of private sales are low at the moment. The problem i have is i've got to trade my old car in so i've got to go to a dealer unless i can find a private seller who will take a p/x.

I'm going to probably go and look at the 172, but also found a 182 with 60k, 1 owner mint condition for £5200. Only reason i have to go to a dealer is to trade in my old car. Going to use the cambelt as a bargining (sp?) tool, my mate will do the cambelt for £200 all in but should be able to get...

I'm after a 172 or 182 at the moment and am wondering what sort of price i should be looking to pay for an 03 plate 172 or an 04 plate 182 with about 60,000 on the clock and in fairly good condition? There is a 172 on an 03 plate with 36,000 miles, 1 owner, FSH, and in immaculate condition for...

They changed to bodies after 2001 if i remember correctly. I really wouldn't bother if i'm honest. I'm half way through putting R1 carbs on my 205 GTi and its a pain in the a**e. Its cost me about £450 so far and they will need setting up and constantly adjusting.

Got the car up for sale at the moment, i'm sure i'll get a much better deal if i went in with a wad of cash to put down. What should i try and aim to get it down to?

That's £100 for the labour

Can get the cam belt done for £100 so its not really an issue for me.

Had a look on Autotrader, and its the only trade one's cheaper than it have done 73,000 miles. Have to get it from a garage as i want to p/x and need the finance as well. Tried to knock some money off it but they wouldn't budge.
