Hi. So I have my water pump undone and the pulley unbolted but how do you actually get it to fit between engine and wing to remove it? I see someone mentioned bending a piece of inner wing but I’m not sure which bit to bend? Anyone know? Cheers.

Hi everyone. I've organised national windscreens to come round and replace my cracked screen in my 172 cup. They have told me that they will fit a "standard 172 windscreen without rain sensors". Obviously the cup doesnt have the rain sensor, so it could be the correct one, but I just want to...

Hi. I am getting my oil pressure light flicking on and off and I think its down to the plug that clips onto the green switch itself. the light will go off if I give the plug a little jiggle. I've tried all sorts to try and make the plug snug on the switch but its still not a really tight fit. I...

Hi. I think I know the answer but, is it possible to get a new 172 cup carpet from anywhere? Also, i've got it in mind that there was something different about the 172 cup carpet compared to a non-cup car. Is it thinner or something or is that bllocks? cheers.

Hi My 172 cup clock/thingy that tells you which radio station you're listening to (think its called an MFD) has become almost unreadably dim. Do I have to take half the car apart to replace the bulb/led. Is it easier than that? Any tips? cheers. Will

Hi. I'm after something brighter for the dipped lights in my 172 cup. I've had a look and Osram nightbreakers seem to be liked on here. Any other recommendations or anything else better that's come to market recently? thanks.

Hi. I've recently put a momo wheel and boss on my 172 cup. All working exactly as I wanted, airbag resistors in place, horn parping nicely...and then in true idiot style, I ignore the old "if it aint broke, dont fix it" rule... I decided that I should definitely take the horn push off in order...

Hi. I have figured out that my 172 cup is losing a fair bit of fluid from, I think, just under the PAS switch sensor. I look the sensor off and tightened it back on again, but it still leaking. I'm wondering if this is a common problem with the switches? It seems weird to me that it could leak...

Hi, Anyone know what type/size of rivet you use to secure the side skirt brackets on a 172 cup please? It seems to require something with a large flat head - anyone able to point me at what I need to buy? Many thanks.

Did the 172 cup come with an engine cover originally? I dont think i've seen one with but is that because theyve all been removed?

\I'm just musing really, but please join in and give me your thoughts! Currently, I have a 172 cup. I havent had it for more than a couple of months but so far I have pumped bilthamber wax stuff into every crevice, painted everything metal underneath in epoxy paint and basically tried to protect...

Hi. Were the 172 cup front calipers different/special in any way from other 1*2 front calipers? Or, to put it another way, which models have the same front brake calipers as the 172 cup? thnks.

I know that there are loads of threads about these but unfortunately I'm still confused as to which ones to get to fit my 172 Cup. If I read correctly, there's been loads of issues with ECP ones not fitting, so if you want to be on the safe side buy 182 cables as they are a bit longer- is that...

Hi. Can anyone kindly point me towards where I can buy a set (16) standard wheel nuts for the turinis on my 172 cup please. Am I correct that they are 12M x 1.5 and 25mm? I can find them at 7 quid a pop but would prefer cheaper and yet not made of cheese...anyone bought any recently? I checked...

Hi. I'm going to do an arch by arch refurb and wax protect,etc on my cup. Calipers will need a repaint. Am I right in thinking that they were silver when new? many thanks.

Hi, well several questions really: 1. I'm sure that I read on here somewhere that the 172 Cup was designed for 15" wheels but for some reason or other in the UK it came with 16". Did I dream this or is it true? If it is true, did the 15" wheel cars originally come with shorter springs too? 2...

Hi. I have just bought a 172 cup and I think my alternator is on the way out. (very hot and smells of burning). I will test it all out at the weekend, but as I will definitely need to get new bits and pieces, where is the best place to get them please? I see wolverhampton renault mentioned alot...

If I wanted to get all the interior trim to refit a stripped 172 cup, how tricky would it be to find the various pieces? i.e. are any of them unique to the cup model and therefore difficult to find. Things like are the carpets all the same in the cars? what colour seat belts, rear seats, all the...

Hi. So, yet another 172 cup that I've spotted. This time Isle of Wight (where I was about 2 weeks ago...grrr). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223113114310?ul_noapp=true I asked about a dephaser change and chap isnt sure. So I have to assume not. Whats this about a snick going into 4th? Is that...

Hi, this one is very close to me. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202413616730?ViewItem=&item=202413616730 Sounds like it needs some tlc (which is fine for me as a project) but "rattle from top end of engine when warm" - i presume the classic dephaser pulley? States that belts were changed but...

I'm possibly going to look at a 172 cup that has rusty patches on the outside of the leading edge of the base of both rear arches. Any esperience on whether this is likely to be fro the inside out or from the outside in type rust? My suspicion from reading rusty arches threads on here, is that...
