I have a new version Tomtom one which has just the UK and Ireland maps as standard. I want to get the western region of USA for a holiday later in the year but was wondering whether it will fit on the original memory card space wise. From looking at Tomtom home it says that I have 53MB free...

Just paid £20 for the yearly subscription for the speed camera database for my Tomtom One new edition. After paying for it I have received no instructions on how to install the upgrade. I did receive a confirmation e-mail saying that the payment has been authorised but that is it. I have been...

In the last few weeks I have noticed a knocking from what appears to be the front nearside wheel when turning right on close to full lock. The knocking is not too bad but it appears something is wrong! Any ideas? It is a 2003 172 Cup so still has warranty left if needed. Thanks in advance...

Quick question regarding the above. I have a 172 Cup. Does this have a pollen/cabin filter or are they only fitted to models with aircon? Tim

At the moment I am driving a 172 Cup but am seriously considering changing to a Williams to reduce my monthly outgoings. What I want to know is what are the running costs for the Williams like? At the moment my Cup only has 9k miles on and is in warranty so it is not costing me much but I need...

My 172 Cup is nearing 6k miles and I would like to know peoples opinions on whether it is worthwhile changing the oil between services. I know Renault recommend every 12k but will it make much difference changing it? Also will a main dealer do it and what would I be looking at pricewise? Tim

As the title says does anyone know the part number for a standard alloy wheel for a 2003 172 Cup. The guy at the parts department at Renault in Reading said that he could not find the wheel on the system and needed a part number. He even tried to order me a Mk2 172 wheel and seemed unaware of...

Whilst I was renewing my home insurance with Norwich Union they offered me a quote on my 172 Cup as the renewal date is late November. Apparently they are doing a special offer of 14 months cover for the price of 12 months if you already have home insurance with them. After putting all my...

Does anyone know of any reputable places in the Berkshire area that could refurb one of my 172 Cup alloys that is slightly scuffed? Done a search but cant seem to find any related posts. Tim

I plan to get one of those big metal Disclock jobbies that completely cover the steering wheel. What I want to know is they come in two different sizes either small or large. The small one covers steering wheels of a diameter between 35cm-39cm. Does anyone know if this one will suffice for my...

I currently have a 172 Cup but in a few years time I would like to consider a MK1 V6. What Im interested in is when do you think the prices for these cars will bottom out? What do people think the prices will settle at for a car with usual mileage? From looking at Auto Trader at the moment...

I know this is tempting fate big time but I have had my 172 Cup for 3 months now and have had absolutely no problems with it at all. Granted the car has only done 2500 miles in total but it has been totally reliable with no niggly faults like you often hear on the forum. I appreciate that a...

I know that the service interval for a 172 Cup is at 12k miles but I think that is a little too long to go without changing the oil. Would it be worth giving it a full service at 6k miles? Im thinking its probably a good idea to simply change the oil and leave the service till 12k. Does...

I recently foolishly scuffed one of my alloys on my otherwise spotless Cup. I know there are places that can repair scuffs on alloy wheels but I was thinking it may be easier simply to buy a new wheel direct from Renault and keep the slightly scuffed one as a spare for future. What are peoples...

I managed to scuff one of my alloys on my Cup today. It was through sheer stupidity and totally my fault! The scuff is not too bad and Im sure it can be repaired. Does anyone know any places close to Reading that could repair it for me to a high standard? Can wheels be repaired while you wait...

After checking the oil today on my new Cup I activated the alarm as per normal and after a few seconds I get a constant buzzing noise. I have made sure all the doors, boot and bonnet are shut but the bloody thing still goes off! Is this a fault with the alarm or is there something obvious Im not...

Had my pre-registered Cup now for about a week and all appears well with it apart from a few minor niggles. 1) Small rattle from near the instrument binnacle. Its not too bad and I assume its cos its a Renault! 2) The sticky stuff on the Cup 172 badge on the drivers side was coming off after...

The Cup I have just bought has the registration HT53 --- Does anyone know which area in the country the H represents? Tim

Just come back from Renault London West having bought a brand new Clio Cup with only 11 miles on the clock. I phoned them up earlier in the week and they said they had 3 left in stock. All blue and without climate control. They were all listed at £10990 I went up there today and after...

I read on here a few days ago that there are some pre-registered Clio Cups being released onto the market from Renault for about £10k. Is this true and does anyone have any more information about this? Tim

Im still looking for a mint low mileage Williams but what I wanted to know is how important people see documented receipts for all work done as. I know everyone has service books stamped up but I know how easy it is for any dealer to stamp it. I personally think documented receipts are better...

I know its been posted before but how much can you get a new Clio Cup for from a dealer. I tried the Reading dealer earlier and they could do one for £12.1k without climate control or £12.7k with the climate control. Is this about as cheap as it gets?

Ive been looking for a Williams 1 with mileage preferably under 60k in standard condition for ages. No one seems to be selling them at the moment. There are loads of Willy 2s and 3s for sale. I guess that everyone just wants to keep their car as they are so unique. Tim

I am now in the market for a Williams and would appreciate some advice as to what one to buy. Im not too bothered which phase though I probably would prefer a 1 or 2 cos I dont want a sunroof! What does the Willy 2 have that the original lacks? Also I have seen quite a few Williams on Auto...

Im looking to buy a mint Williams in the summer and was hoping someone could help me with a query I have. Where is the best place to get a car like this serviced. Is it safer at a Renault dealer or are they just rip off merchants like a lot of main dealers? I live in Reading so are there any...

Im seriously considering purchasing a Clio Cup sometime this year. I know the MRRP is £12995 but do they lower this figure at all or is it set in stone?? I would seriously consider one if I could get one for £11.5-12k but Im not sure if this would be possible. Any thoughts would be highly...

In the next few months I will hopefully be in the position to buy a Williams. I regularly look on the Auto Trader website for possible purchases and there is rarely any decent looking, low mileage ones for sale. Is this simply that everyone wants to keep theirs because they are so damned good...
