Been without her now for about nearly 2 months and its true what they say. No not that your a king for a day. But you dont know what you got till its gone ! Saw a lovely 172 Cup on the weekend, polished beyond belief. Looked the absolute Daddy. Should of kept it. Ho hum. Hope the chap who bought...

As upset as I am I sold her today ! Good things come to an end, however I got a good price and the lad seems to be a good bloke.

Can anyone recommend a company who can provide single day cover ? Cheers

Ive got a test drive tommorow in the new 197, not really interested in buying one. Too heavy and slow. Got a special pit pass in the post (im sure you all got one). Just curious to see how it goes. Anyelse had a go yet ?

I own a 52 plate 172 Cup. Its got those horrible orange side repeaters. However every single cup Ive seen has clear side repeaters. Now has every cup owner changed them or did my car miss out at the factory?

Whilst washing my car lastnight I noticed a small blister just under the petrol lid door. It looks like something under the paint has pushed up the top coat. I was just curious if anyone else has experienced any defects in there own paintwork? And if so how they went about fixing eg Renault...

Twice over the past week whilst stationary the an orange engine light on my dash (right hand side next to the speedo) has been flashing on and off. Ive tapped the throttle a few times, let it idle again then turned the engine off. Then let it sit, start the engine up again and the light has...

Too keep me busy over the summer im starting a little service for those of you with no time to clean your wheels and properly protect your arches etc. First of all Ill take your wheels off and deep clean them (highlighting any corrosion on your alloys) wax protect them or polish which ever...

I contacted greenlight as a few of you suggested on here and was delighted to recieve a reply, however shortly followed by this comment I wasnt as pleased..... --------------------------------------------------------------------- ''Additional information: This is based on the Renault Clio...

Ive phoned a few places and so a name that has come up is Clean image in essex ? Has anyone dealt with this company. Would prebably like to go somewhere with Clio experience so they can match the wheels colour perfectly. However Id prefer a recommendation from here. I live in Herts/North London...

Definetly recommened due to the cost and slight gains recieved. When moving up the rev range the engine seems to breath better and gives a nice noise.

I park my car on my drive which is next to a tree that has an awful habit of losing its tiny leaves all over my tidy bodywork. This morning i switched on my heaters and had a faceful of these leaves fly through my interior vents. Now am I right in saying the pollen filter should stop this or it...

Took all my wheels off today to clean them. To my dismay my rear pads seem to rub with the disc when no pressure is applied at all by handbrake or pedal. Are my calipers seized or do they tend to move on there own accord once your up and running? I know all 172 Cup rear discs + pads are pants...

Ive already had my top rubber mounts replaced on warranty about 3 months ago, however the same knocking noise still occurs. Im not very keen anymore on full-lock to the right. So is it another problem such as bushes, springs or have they not bothered to do the correct work. It was a Offical...

Could someone re-post the thread on adjusting your lower engine mount to prevent unwanted movement. Cheers

I know this has come up before, but who has a full copy of the offical Renault manual ? If you can make me a copy or PM me it would be much appreciate. And of course Id cross your palm with gold and silver for your trouble. Cheers

Just curious how much noise and squeaking people recieve from their rear brakes first thing when driving eg. the car has been sitting over night. I know all brakes tend to rust whilst standing for a while, however im not to keen on the grinding noise's I keep hearing. My pads are only 50%...

Being the trusting boyfriend I have come to terms with the ladyfriend driving my car from time to time. Slowly she has got used my cars speed and ability (172 cup) compared to her 1.3 peewee Ford Ka. Last night she managed to squeeze into the tightest carpark space ever and considering the...

Went to see Patrick Kielty on the 6th of october and parked at the kings carpark. I was struggling to find a good space then out of the corner of my eye I spotted another cup ! Was this you ? October 6th 2005? Also you had a small Nuringberg sticker on the boot. Nice car whoever's it was....

Silly question, but where can I get a Cliosport or CS sticker for my car ? Just to let other peeps on the road now Im part of the best Online Clio site.....

Hi everyone ! Common topic I know, but that time has come for me to purchase tyres. A man who buys poor tyres is asking for trouble. The exisiting continentals are still from New and have done 22500 miles. Not too bad i reckon, infact excellent. However thy worning legal limit is near. If...

Hi there. Ive recently bought a Clio 172 cup on a 52 plate with 22000 miles. Its such a Raw car, brilliant to drive. But ive got some questions if anyone can answer? Firstly do all the 172 Cups idle quite roughly on startup? Also do they benefit from frequent oil changes? Just would like some...
