Loads of problems with my first Cup, when the gearbox went it came out of the dealership with 14 other problems so bad was the job. I refused to take the car back, Renault UK got involved and the car got sorted, stay clear of Tonbridge Renault. Bought another Cup a few weeks ago, took it in...

Had my valve replaced and had the link fitted at the same time. I argued the case and had new rear discs and pads as well. Car feels sooo much better under breaking now. J

Si - thats why I went to Davis on Saturday, get there for 8.15am and you are first, while u wait job. Refreshing service compared to Whithouse and I watched my car being serviced so i know my oil was used. J.

Thats right only £97.50. Took my own oil and car has a panel filter.... They try to charge a set time for the labour but I insisted I would only pay for the time the mechanic was working on the car which was less than an hour. Davis in Sevenoaks was the dealer, the only one I could find that...

Took my Cup back for wear on the back brakes, discs had a small lip. The dealer phoned to say the Brake bias valve was faulty. I asked for the discs and pads to be replaced as well foc as the faulty part had caused the wear. To my utter shock Renault agreed ! Can you try another dealer ? If...

Arturo - what a real beauty ! Regards Jason

Swap the front tyres side to side.. Renault did mine when they were half worn as I complained about the pulling and it sorted it. J.

Spotted a silver 928 in the car park with nice front end damage. Sabine said there was a meeting of Yanks and she had been asked to do a lap in a 928 but turned it down, M5s only for that lady ! J.

The Ring Taxi does a set of tyres a day and is serviced every day. Its only kept for 6months and then disposed off as the damage to the chassis is quite severe. Even at £50 a lap it makes no money but is a good pr excercise for BMW. J

It was a shakedown for the CannonBall later in the month. The rear anti roll bar did its stuff and kept the back so tight it meant you having to use the front to get in corners hard, not good ! Getting Sabine to drive was a publicity thing as the car is being sponsored for Sight Savers. Its...

I was there !! We fitted a uprated rear anti roll bar, shame really as the car would not oversteer, Sabine did try and just managed to kill the front tyres. Her control of the car was nothing short of amazing, around Showboat and Brunchen with one hand waving at the crowds with the other. The...

Spotted the Cup... I was there in a grey Kellerman M5, with nice loud pipes ! We even got Sabine to do 6 laps in it which was an experience. Tyres that were new now look a little worn, brakes are AP 6 pots so no problems there !! J.

Plus Vat etc, Cup with climate is 13k from Makro !!!

Interested.

Without wishing to piss on your bombfire they are not a good long term purchase. I know as I bought a set 2nd hand for my Subaru. The biggest problem is they have no dust seals, wait till we get salt on the roads. Yes they look the nutz but compare the breaking power with AP four or AP six...

Whitehouse are so incompetant its untrue ! They have had my cup for 3 weeks now after fitting a gearbox so badly it has caused other issues that they are struggling to fix. Any offers of compensation yet ? You must be joking ! They think I am fortunate to have a nice 1.2 Clio as a courtesy...

Just spoke to the dealership and my car will not be ready for the weekend. They have replaced the engine mounts and still have a knocking noise. The initial gearbox install must have been a bad one.

No problems with imports. They all have 2yrs warranty now with the EU ruling. My last car was a Scooby, kept her for 2years with no problems and did 20k and lost 3grand when I sold her... Miss the Turbo rush, although mine was no where near standard !! The only problem I had was getting the...

GPRIM - mine was supplied from Fish Brothers in Reading. J.

Rob Crate of beer coming your way ! Thanks all J.

Rob The dealership are causing all the problems ! most minor I admit but why should I have to keep taking the car back... Such a shame as the guys in the service dept are great. When I collected the car the first time I took a crate of beer in for them to thank them for the work they had...

Thanks Rob Jason Hubble RA52 Bxx Dealer Principal - Peter Holmes (although he wont take my calls or respond to my letters) The whole dealership know me now ! I was told by the service dept that they are very embarrassed about the whole affair. My car is there now and will be collected...

They are now faults created by the dealership. They have admitted the new gearbox install was very sub-standard. But why should I accept a car with mis-aligned bonnet, badly fitted front bumper, knocking noise (they suspect engine mounts) grease in interior, scratches on roof. The same dealer...

Whitehouse Renault in Tonbridge They were done recently by Trading Standards for overcharging !! They sent a marked car in.

Morning My 6mth old Cup went in for a new gearbox to my local dealership. The car came back with 11 more faults, caused by the sloppy workmanship. I am no mechanic but the faults were so obvious including a nasty knocking noise. The car went back in to the same dealership, a week later I...

he he Had a Williams 3 7yrs ago and that was w**k compared to the Cup ! Engine is out at the mo and the dealer says just the gearbox costs £2g !! J.

7500 miles and my Cup is in for a new gearbox !! Should they do the clutch at the same time ?? Also having £400 worth of paintwork to remedy a few paint faults the car came from the factory with. The dealership is investigating the suspension kncoking sounds at low speed and on full lock...

Morning all On Friday night I managed to damage the gearbox/clutch. Whilst accelarating hard in reverse the front wheels locked spinning the car 180 !! Starting the car in neutral was the same as starting the car in gear. A call to AA had a van there in 10 mins !! The nice AA chap said he...

Morning What size socket adapter do I need to tighten my sump plug on my Clio Cup. Yes I was a cowboy and used a lrg screwdriver, now it drips oil !!! Bought a 3/8 and its just too big. Yes I did change the washer !! Thanks in advance Jason

Hey I recognise that Skyline ! I was at the Ring that weekend, the Skyline has a true 750bhp on the rollers, and yes there are alot of people who claim it but I can vouch for this one. The chap who owns the Skyline left early on Sunday and went home in convoy with Gareth Lloyd in the F40...
