Hi guys, I'm having a problem where my 172 cup won't start up at all. It's had a new battery recently and I don't think it's a starter motor issue as there's no sound of the car trying to start when turning the ignition. I'm hoping there may be an easy to way to identify the problem based on...

Hi guys, got an issue with the rear suspension on my 172 cup. Basically whenever I go over speed bumps or any other bump in the road, the front goes over fine and the damping works as it should, then the rear seems to just crash over and thud back down. Is there any easy ways to diagnose what...

Hi all, I need a replacement turini alloy for my 172 cup and just wondered if these are still available to buy new individually, and also what I should expect to pay for a second hand one? Thanks, Ross

Hi guys, Car was in with Renault today for a free check and one of the things they mentioned was that the CV Boot clip was broken. Have quoted nearly £110 to fix it :p Obviously I'm not gonna pay £110 for a new clip and some grease so looking to do it myself. What size clips will I need and...

Hi guys, Are there any renault diamond centre caps that fit the aftermarket speedline corse turinis? My clio has 2 standard renault turinis, and 2 aftermarket speedlines that still have the speedline centre caps which look odd compared the other 2! From what I can see the standard renault...

Hi, Yesterday I was accelerating hard in 2nd gear and the whole rear windscreen filled with smoke. I then tried accelerating in other gears and there was less smoke but it seemed to be on the overrun as opposed to accelerating. I took the car out again tonight to test it and noticed there was...

Hi guys, my mate got his clio serviced last week and now has an oil leak. He's bringing it round tomorrow for me to have a look and see if we can sort it out. I'm guessing it's probably coming from the sump plug, or the oil filter given the fact there were no leaks at all before it was...

Which one do I need and where can I get it? Had a search and can't find a definitive answer! Many thanks, Ross :D

Hi guys, On the road I run 33 front and 31 rear on my Michelin Pilot Sport 3's (205/45/16). Got a trackday coming up and have read different things about whether pressure should be maintained at the same you run on the road, increased for greater sidewall durability, or decreased for a wider...

Whats the lowest/highest?? offset wheels that people have run on their 182s? I know the standard offset is 45 but I will be lowering on sportlines and taking the car on track so want to know how far I can realistically deviate from the 45 offset without getting issues.

My girlfriend is looking at a new car this weekend, and I wanted to do a check on the vehicles history to see if there had been any major work done in the past - will I be able to find out if the car has been in any accidents even if it hadn't been bad enough for it to be written off? Cheers, Ross

I'm fitting new pads and discs all round my 182 tomorrow... I'm guessing there wont be anything else I've forgotten to get that will be needed? I've never done the brakes on one of these before, so don't know if theres anything that normally gets changed at the same time?

My airbag and SERV lights have come on randomly today, but I was hoping to program my ECU with the RS TUNER this weekend. Will there be any problems with me doing this with the lights on? I have the old rs tuner so can't add the airbag module to turn the lights off but was hoping that I can...

I know most performance systems are around 90mm, how does the standard item compare as it seems to not fit as well in the cut outs.

When i removed my old front diamond it was quite firmly in there, had to really apply some force to get it out but still didnt break any clips which was good. Now ive put a new diamond in there, it seems quite loose, and it doesnt take any force at all to pull it out???? Is there anyway I can...

Went out to my car this morning to see that some c*nt has laid the boot in and smashed my drivers side foglight! :mad: How easy is it to replace, is it bumper off or can it be done by taking the wheel off? And where would be the best place for a decent replacement?

My 182 is totally standard apart from the jms induction kit and now when I put my foot down I get this really loud rumbling noise. Is this what everyone else gets because as far as I can tell there's been no increase in performance. When you put your foot down and get the extra noise it feels a...

Hi guys, basically this is the first car Ive had where I actually want to put some effort in to keeping it clean/looking smart. A couple of weeks ago I went out and got: Meguiars Nxt Generation car wash...

This morning at about 8.15 near the hospital - followed me up towards festival leisure :cool:

This is for anybody who has tinted side repeaters that have been sprayed - do you still have the lettering on the lense or has it been sanded off?

The base of my aerial is now a patchy grey colour and I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on how to bring it back to original colour?

On the way to work this morning and started getting a loud whistling/hooting sound on accelerating at about 70 in 4th. When I eased off it stopped but every so often if i pushed the pedal again it would start up again. Im guessing this is the common windscreen issue. Is there anything I can do...

As title, would love to see some pics of black clios that have colour coded bullets, diamonds, lights or anthing really as I've got some ideas in my head but having a hard time picturing it on my BG 182!

As above, what suspension set up are you running and how do you find it suits your needs whether it be fast road, track, or looking slammed etc??? I think this would be a useful thread for us cup owners who are on standard suspension but want to go for an upgrade, to see what other owners have...

Hi lads, recently got myself a black/gold 182 with anthracite wheels (absolutely loving it so far - great car), got a few plans in the pipeline after ive had a service and the belts changed on it next week. In the meantime I want to get some smoked or black repeaters but not sure which to go...
