Been getting some fumes in the cabin when idling just lately. Some of it must be from sitting in traffic but could it be something leaking? Passed the MOT 2 weeks ago & the exhaust system was checked for leaks & confirmed to be ok. Some people have mentioned the heater matrix could be leaking...

I'm out on track at 1.15 & 2.30pm, looking forward to it. Managed to pay £25.00 for each session (bargain!) Don't quite know why but thanks anyway Maria!

Did a track session @ Castle Combe last Saturday. First time I'd been out on track for nearly 4 years. Had a bit of a shock at how nervous/twitchy the Cup felt especially at the rear end. Now thinking of fitting new (original) Cup suspension but need some advice on a set of decent springs...

OK, thanx. I am planning to go straight to Combe on the day so do I have to show any other paperwork to my admission ticket? I'm doing the Renault session at 2.00pm.

Can you let me know if a space comes up before the day. Just got my tickets & have booked the 2.00pm Renault session.

Booked the 2.00pm "Renault only" session. Hopefully, we'll have some R26 & 200 Cup's in the same session?

I have a touch-up paint for the Cup: 77 11 219 314 D43. Can anyone confirm that it is actually Mondial blue as it doesn't say?

OK. Reserve list for me then. 1. Will 2. Fletcher 3. A.Jenkin 4. Westicles (steve) 5. Quade 6. B15H0P (Martin) 7. Ash 8. Crustys172cup 9. JR 10. Ph-reebone 11. Daniel 12. Bux 13. Luke. 14. Nick_P 15. Original Boy Racer 16. Mr_p 17. Jim Cook 18. atouba 19. edewer 20. bomber...

Megs Gold Class it is then!!!

Been using Halfords own brand muck 'n' bullets car shampoo until I came across this detailing section! What shampoo do you recommend for Mondial Blue paintwork? I would like one that foams up & leaves the paint looking waxed & streak free.

Had my car keyed a few months back on the drivers door. Left a scratch about 15" long which has broken the paint. I know the obvious (& most expensive) solution is to have it rubbed down & sprayed. Is there anything else I can try first?

I will need 2 x 195/45/R16 (80V) tyres for the Cup very soon & have found some ContiContacts online @ 68.50 each inc. vat which is very keen. However, I am still looking to save money so can anyone recommend another make of tyre which may also be cheaper?!

Where is the pollen filter located on this model? No harm in checking to see if it's blocked-up with leaves or something.

Problem with my partners Clio DCi on a 56 plate. There is always alot of moisture/condensation on the inside of the windscreen in the mornings now. This morning there was even a small patch of ice on the inside! The re-circulation control for the heating is open as this can cause a build-up...

O.K. Tried removing the front cover on the wing mirror with a small flat-blade but didn't want to damage the main casing. How easily does this cover clip off before I have another try & end up breaking it?

How easy is it to pop-out the glass in that door mirror? Looks straight forward enough.

My outside temperature gauge is on the blink showing 17 celsius today! Does anyone know where it's located & if it's simple enough to change? Thanx.

Hi, The interior bulb in my Cup is rather dull now the dark winter nights are upon us. Can anyone advise on a more powerful/brighter bulb that I can fit instead of the std bulb?

Hi, My Cup has covered 60k now & I am thinking about upgrading the original suspension especially if I'm going to keep it long-term. I do occasional track days (maybe 1-3 times a year) and only 6k per annum in total as it's only used for my commute. Can anyone recommend a suitable suspension...

It always happens first thing in the morning or when leaving work at night. I tried it this morning by turning the steering wheel after starting up & not depressing the clutch & it made the whining noise so it's pointing to the power steering pump.

OK. Lets say that it's the power steering pump then. If that's the case, how do you cure it?

The comment made about the power steering pump could be relevant. Never considered that one. Will start up in the morning & just turn the wheel before even using the clutch & have a listen.

Hi, I'm hearing a whining noise when I first engage the clutch to pull away in the mornings & sometimes from work. (Usually after the car has been standing for hours.) This does not happen again once i've initially pulled away. Is this the clutch release bearing? Also, would it be worth...

Same here mate. I need some tyres for the front as well. Got a price of £55.00 each for a couple of the original Continentals. Will keep an eye on this thread for alternatives.

Some middle age spread is occurring on the new Clio RS 197. It's going the same way as each marque of the Golf. 0 to 62mph in 6.9 seconds & 134 mph top speed. Is the latter figure a mis-print? Lets see what the car magazines make of it in the spring against the 207 GTI.

04 registered 172 cup for sale on the Autotrader site for £8795. 13k on the clock. How many 04 reg. 172 Cups are there? Thats the first one I have seen.

What time is our session? It was between 2:00 & 3:00 last year.
