Sorry , too late for you , but these faftermarkey dust covers fit perfectly , I've got them on my Cup ..

I'm looking for a replacement Rear Brake carrier for my 172 cup ..I'm struggling to find a supplier ..Any ideas ? Or is a main dealer the best bet ?

As "Danny Malin" would say ..."Back on th' Road again" after 18 or so months ..Just refreshed the suspension front and rear , as well as the brakes all round ( had the suspension for prob 3 yrs but couldn't muster up the enthusiasm to fit it ) .. The funny thing is I didn't realise or forgot...

What's the difference between the 172 Cup front springs and the 182 Cup front springs that Kam racing supply ?

Gary Burnett ..that's the lad ..And funnily enough after a quick search it appears he's back in business ..result if he is as he's a great reputation and knows his onions ..and close to me 😃👍

Unless they've reop my apologies, its not Birchdown it was the Renault specialist in Birchwood , Warrington ..can't remember the name atm ..I'll find out from the service history when I'm home from work ..

OK, thanks for pointing out the difference ..I'll order some now and use My UB externally 👍

Thanks for the replies ..what I've got is dynax UB and hydrate 80 ..so I'll take off the skirts , check them then treat the internal rust ...there's only so much you can do to it I suppose ..1 thing is certain on these models is rust on the sills 🥴

After a few yrs off the road but mainly kept under a canopy/ car port I thought I'd remove my rear door cars and check to see the rear sills ..The car underneath ( around 2018 ) was complimented by the now shut down Renault specialist "Birchdown" .as being one of the cleanest and solid Ph1...

When I bought it the airbag light was on , with the explanation that its prob the wiring under the seat as is usually the case ..it turns out its the nearside impact crash sensor ...Ordered one off Renparts for 25 quid ..sorted ...so , come to change the rear suspension ..the Bolts and beam...
