Having heard that South Africa wont get the cup options, Ive started to doubt whether I should still get one. Have any of you Clio fanatics seen or driven a 182 without the Cup bits? How does it look with the silver wheels and is the handling that different? Hope someone can help.

Just heard from Renault South Africa that we will NOT be getting the cup options here at all, except perhaps the spoilers which could be after market fitments. Boo Hoo :( The reason given is that the cup suspension option is only available for the UK. Is this true??

Turning right into my parking at work this morning, the car just died. No warning, nothing. Was running fine up to then. It started right up again, so I let it run for a few minutes - idled a bit rough at first but evened out after a while. No warning lights on or anything. Any ideas?????

Went to their site and they have some cool stuff. Has anyone got any experience to share about their products? I wouldnt mind getting the 172 KTR/GAZ COILOVER SUSPENSION KIT and some strut braces, but would hate to get it all shipped over to South Africa if they arent that good. BTW, do strut...

Tyre pressures for a Mk1 172? I know this has probably been asked a hundred times before, but I did a search and only got answers for a Mk2. Also, anyone know the conversion to metric?

Anyone have a manual for a Mk1 172? Mine came with a Mk2 owners manual which has stuff about climate control etc. Maybe you bought an import and want an english manual - if you can organise a Mk1 version for me we can do a swap. Im in South Africa, but we can work out postage etc. Local dealers...

I had a shuttle installed under the passenger seat, but am not happy as they removed the storage shelf under the seat and there are 2 holes in the carpet where it was. Where and how is the best place to put it?

Can I use a Blaupunkt CD changer in my 2001 Clio?

Has anyone noticed these? I have 2 on each side, just in front of where the spoiler starts and just behind the doors, each about 15 cms long. They look like creases more than dents. Any ideas what could cause them?

Smiley went in to the panel shop to have various dents and chips taken out of the doors and front bumper and the door handles and side strips coded. The guy there warned me up-front that the rubbers around the windows might crease when they were removed. So I got the car back and everything...

So everything was going great until I tried to reverse out my gate yesterday. I had to try 5 times to get it into reverse - eventually went in but it was really hard to locate the slot. Kept trying everytime I stopped, but still no luck. All forward gears are fine. Same thing again this morning...

Has anyone replaced their 172 Mk1 interior door handles with the silver ones from the Mk2 or newer Megane hatch? I think this would be a nice touch, but dont know where to get them or how hard it would be to fit.

I bought a nearly new 172 Mk1 last month and the first thing I noticed was that the shift light didnt come on. I called Renault South Africa Techline and was told that this feature was discontinued because of the danger of people staring at the rev counter at high speed waiting for the light to...
