I spose it is a strange idea, I just like the colour and setup of a cup, but for my own safety would like abs and climate for the comfort. I'll just stick to looking for a 172. Thanks for putting me straight lol

I have recently had my beautiful 172 cup taken away from me as someone decided to drive into it and write it off. :dapprove: I am now looking for another 172 and debating whether to do the following... There seems to be quit a few cups about at a reasonable price, I was wondering if anyone...

What is the throttle body buzzing? Any way it can be stopped?

Have any of you guys heard the following coming from under the bonnet near the passenger headlight? It sounds like a dial tone and is continious. It occurrs only when I turn my ignition fully without actually starting it up. It also stays on when turning car on but as the engine is on you...

Cheers guys - do you reckon if I bought the Hainz manual for a normal 01-04 style clio it would be the same?

Anyone have any instructions, manuals or tips for replacing a headlight on a 172 cup? Will it involve taking the bumper off and is it a very difficult job? Any feedback ould be great Cheers Gary

Thanks for all your comments - I have had a good look at it now. The mechanical part is missing, so I need a new one. £33 from renault inc vat. This goes into the back of the light and turns untill it clicks in. The shaft on this mechanism extends and pushes something which in turns raises a...

Thats what I thought but they are saying that it needs the mechanism in order to stay in place. The other thing is that the mechanism currently isn't there as it has fallen off..however it has remained in place for some time just in the wrong position. Think I will hve a look at it tonight but...

Hi there, My clio sport 172 cup has just failed its MOT as the left headlight is not pointing in the exact location/height etc. Apparantly the mechanism attached to the light which you can control from the inside of your car is broken. Firstly does anyone know if there is a part you can buy...

Ah right, I was going to a company called South East Financial Services. It was an IT position. They are opposite the newsagent next to the hairdressors.

Hey mate - yep indeed. I do remember seeing you actually but didn't see your plate. I was on a job interview, Brentwood is a nightmare to park!!

Ah thats brilliant mate cheers, it isn't the same as the Cup setup but is enough to confirm a few things. Many thanks

Hi there, Does anyone have a manual that shows the alternator and how the aux belt goes on. I just need to confirm a few things and would like to have some diagrams or photos of the alternator how it adjusts, including the adjuster (nut and bolt) and also the pulleys etc. I have a 172 cup...

Any one know what the part number for a 172cup 2002 plate alternator? Cheers

Yeah that is what formula 1 said when I took it to them, they said the wrong belt has been put on and they have tightened it too much. So I went back to them and said look I have had a mechanic check it out for me, basically you have put on the wrong belt (one that is too long) and you have...

Well initially I took it to the garage as there was squeaking coming from the alternator belt, they said the adjuster has broken so they replaced that £70, then it was still squeaking so I took it back, he said ah it needs a new belt, £11 (even though renault parts are more than this) Sqeaking...

Hi, I have been told that my clio 172 cup has the wrong alternator in, which is causing it to break the alternator adjuster and cause a squeak. Is this likely, how many different alternators can there be for clio sports 172's? I know there are different belts but are there that many...

Cheers mate, really appreciate that. Going to speak to these guys today to see if they will replace the adjuster which the incorrect alternator belt has broken! Would rather they didn't touch it again to be honest but why should I have to pay for a new adjuster again!!!

Hi there, I recently had my alternator adjuster replaced and then a new alternator belt as things were squeaking there. Since then squeaking has started up again so I have now found out that the alternator belt that the garage put on was too long, and they had tightened the adjuster too tight...

I've got a post already but was just reading over these threads. I have a squeak when starting up my car, sounds worse from cold. It kind of goes away but then comes back with a little squeak, sounds like a belt going round and squeaks 3 times in the same place. One reply said that it may be...

I recently have had a sqeaking noise when starting up my 172 cup, initially it was my alternator belt that needed replacing which soon sorted that problem out. However it has come back. When i start the engine up and it has been sitting for a few hours, there is a loud squeak upon startup, then...
