Bit of a odd one, even stumped fred! Clio 172 cup, when the engine is completely warmed up i have a rattle from it. It's not there when cold and takes about 20 minutes of driving before you can here it. Sounds like its coming from the exhaust manifold area, but don't think it's there. When...

I need some help and suggestions please, The handling on my 172 cup is shocking. It's been to fred and he hasn't found a problem but has said himself something isn't quite right, Last time the 2 fronts tyres were worn so they were replaced and all inflated to the correct pressures. He told me...

Received my pads today from auto-nation but I have a stupid question to ask! What are the wires coming off the top of the pads? My old pads didn't have them iirc. Are they the correct pads for my 172?

Right over the past week or so my tempertaure gauge has been playing up, it never goes just above half way but would drop quite abit (about 3 notches). Anyway Fred got me a coolant temp new sensor which i replaced, and the problem is still there. I've noticed if i go and give the car a bit of...

Cars been in with Fred recently and he said that the sensor was on its way out, sure enough he was right and now my gauge isn't giving an accurate reading. I'm going to go and get a new sensor tomorrow but took the airbox out this morning to see what i was up against, looks easy to replace...

I've just ordered a set of mintex 1144 pads for my 172 cup as i have my first track day coming up. I'm going to leave the standard discs on as they are in perfect condition still, they are genuine renaults discs. The brake fluid was changed with decent stuff not so long ago too. Will this...

noticed my cv boot clip had gone and had grease inside my wheel so took it to my mate after work and he repacked it with grease and put a cable tie on it as a tempory fix. I've been reading on here and people say use a jubilee clip, so off i went to halford's after work and they don't do them...

Hello all, need your help please. Today i fitted the powerflex dogbone bush to my 172 cup. I changed it as i was getting the occasional knock from the manifold under heavy acceleration in 1st and 2nd. Well it's made my problem worse, it's doing it everytime now, also the car feels like a...

Hello, i'm going to look at doing some track days in the car. I'll probably end up getting some toyo R888's. My clio currently sits on the 16" turinis but for track days i want to put some 15" alloys on with some 195/50/15 tyres only reason is tyres in that size are alot cheaper that 195/50/16...

Hello everyone, Can anyone recommend a suspension set up for the 172 cup please? I'm not looking to spend huge sums! I've been looking at the jms tuning site and they do the vmaxx coilover set up for under £400. Can anyone advise if this is a decent set up, it's not for track use. I just want...

Good Morning, this is my first post on the forum so be kind please :rasp: I have around 4k to spend on a car, I've finally made my mind up on a 172. However, i've been doing my research and prefer the sound of the "cup" in terms of the driving experience that can be had. Now i'll be the...
