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...

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...

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?

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?!

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...

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...

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...

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.

Heard a bit more about this end of the line model over Easter. There will be 200 all in metallic yellow-type colour. It will be a turbo-charged 182 basically. The current shape goes out of production in the autumn.

I have booked up a track day at Castle Combe on 23rd April in my Clio 172 Cup. I know I will need to increase tyre pressures to increase tyre roll resistance but to what pressure?
