    Oil pressure switch location?

    For anyone else with same problem. Renault charged £28 for a new oil pressure sensor and brass washer. The item is an easy fit if you have a deep reach 22mm socket as then nothing around the sensor needs removed. Halfords do one for a measly £6.49 in 1/2 inch drive.

    16 inch tyres for 172 cup, what's hot what's not?

    cheers for that. Im running through some others via camskill, but that is a good name at a good price! Is there any reason NOT to move up to 205 width? http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m62b0s344p15205

    Turning over on the key for ages, but not starting.

    Had the 172 Cup for a few good months and now the problems start! Latest one started (sic) today when the wee "merd-face" decided to turn over on the starter hard and fast for ages before finally agreeing to being coaxed into life via small throttle pedal movements. Up until today I...

    03 172 Cup - bad miss and rough idle ?

    cheers just bought and fitted it in the last hour and it seems to have resolved the problem. Although it didn't seem to be quite as sprightly as before. Do stored trouble codes cause it to back off timing or anything - a bit like a limp home? Do i need to have these cleared or just...

    172 Cup, Bog Standard, fully serviced 29Kmiles, best mods for 2-3K?

    Have to say I did think it would be a bit faster accelerating. It does feel good in the twisties, turn in and grip are good and steering responsive is ok, just wish it had a bit more urge about it coming out the corners. Didnt help getting ripped by a Golf Gti either! By default I'm a...

    172 Cup, Bog Standard, fully serviced 29Kmiles, best mods for 2-3K?

    Im really new to RenaultSport so sorry if this seems a bit "noob". Quite simply whats the best mods for 2-3K max on a 172 cup? Car must drive "nice" as I commute 300 miles a week. Every day I cover Motorway and A and B roads in Scotland, so a competent all rounder is needed. At the...

    172 Cup advice

    Talk about gambling I bought it! I took it to RJM in Glenrothes for a full service, belts, fiters, oil etc and new pads and disks all round. cost around £800. But now I know the work has been genuinely done and the car feels like new, all switches, handles and interior are A1, steering wheel...
