Massive oil consumption from my 76k miles 172 Cup has led to an expert diagnosis of probable terminal damage, and a suggestion that replacing the engine is more cost effective than digging around to find out what's wrong. Just wondering what other people's experiences have been with this. Seems...

Inspired by a couple of threads on here I've bought a Mobius cam to use as a dashcam. I'd like to wire it in permanently rather than having cables dangling everywhere, but I'm a complete novice when it comes to electrickery. Could anyone that's done this very kindly explain what I need and how...

I'm looking for a cargo net that will fit my 172 Cup, but despite some serious Google-fu I can't work out what the part number is. Can any one help please? Cheers.

I've just purchased some second-hand front hubcentric spacers and rear stub axle spacers for my 172 Cup, but they have a small amount of surface rust on them. Is this anything I need to worry about? I'm aware that it's best to have as clean and flat a surface as possible when installing the...

I'm mulling whether to buy a set of seats from a 182 to go in my 172 Cup, but while doing a bit of research found a couple of posts suggesting that they 172 Cup seats are actually a bit comfier. I assumed they were the same, with the half leather being the only difference. Anyone got experience...

So I have a leak in my rear right brake caliper. I have a full remanufactured set of calipers on order, but it'll be a couple of weeks before they arrive. Do I have any options between leaving it until the new stuff arrives versus getting it all fixed, but then replacing the caliper in a couple...

Hi all. I know this topic has been covered a lot, but having just been through a bazillion different threads I'm still a bit confused. I'm considering buying 15mm H&R hubcentric spacers for my front wheels. They're not the kind that you can bolt straight to the hub. Car is a 172 Cup, standard...

Hello southeasterners. Forgive me for what seems like a stupid question, but does this region include West Sussex? I'm in Haywards Heath and can't work out whether that counts as South or South East. Cheers.

Was cleaning my 172 Cup today and noticed this plug hanging down under the dashboard. It's part of a wire that plugs into the top of the accelerator pedal. What is it, and should it be plugged in?

Hello all, I've had my 172 Cup for about a month now, and have noticed a shuddering through the wheel at higher speeds - from about 70 upwards. It's not major, but it's definitely there. Obviously I want to sort it, but I'm aware that there are several things that it could be, from alignment to...

Hello all. I recently bought a 172 Cup, which had the sound system upgraded to a Kenwood DAB number. It had this on the dashboard, fixed loosely with sellotape. Any idea what it is? The wires head into the dash. Is it to do with the sound system? The DAB aerial, perhaps? Thanks.

Hi all. My 172 Cup has a small split on the edge of the spoiler. It's so hidden that it doesn't seem worth replacing, but I don't want it to get worse. What would be the best way to repair it? Is it something I could do at home with little talent? All advice gratefully received.

Hello all. My new Clio 172 Cup arrived to me without a jack or wheel brace kit, so I ordered one of eBay. However, it doesn't have the fixing nut needed to keep it in place in the wheel well. Does anyone have a pic of the part needed? I can probably just use a random wing nut or something, but...

Hi all. I'm Phill from East Sussex, just joined the Club and yesterday picked up this MB Clio 172 Cup. It's largely standard, save for what I believe is a Stealth exhaust and Cooksport springs. The previous owner was also a ClioSport member, so some of you may have already seen the car. It's...
