For anyone who has the same issue with the rear style pack, the solution is to get a couple of modified side brackets made up, the critical dimensions you need are to drop the assembly by 75mm and pull it in towards the car 14mm. This last change is needed as the style pack curves slightly...

Nothing serious, just a very small 6 x 4 lightweight trailer, previous Clio managed it fine and this one has the same power and slightly more torque in the mid range revs, so wont be a problem

Thought this might be the case, looks like I will have to modify the side chassis brackets to lower the bar. Notice you are from Wick, from Reay myself, so practically next door!

Title says it all really, wondering if anybody has fitted one to a 2012 model clio fitted with the lower bumper style pack diffuser. I had a westfallia bar from a previous model, but the style pack essential adds about another 2 inches drop to the rear bumper, consequently the swan neck on the...

Just recently replaced the entire Hub assembly on a clio 3, 1.4 fitted with Disc Brakes and cant get the handbrake to work properly. The adjustment nut on the handbrake has been tightened up and the tension through the handbrake when you pull it on feels OK, but it isn't engaging on the calipers...

Hi there, My wife's Clio has a problem with the air con which some of you may have come across. Basically she can switch it on and the button lights up to show the unit is on, but nothing else happens ie the air con does not work. I have checked the obvious fuses etc but these are OK. Just...

Cup in Caithness

Thanks Eddd, useful info, I will have another go at the dealer regards

Thanks for the info Eddd, is this catalogue freely available from Renault dealers? I would like to be able to show the dealer the information and tell them to get it sorted as the car is still under warranty

I dont have a problem with mileage out of the tyres as i only get about 8K out of the fronts, it was just the large discrepency on the rears, the right rear is wearing nice and evenly across the whole tyre, the left rear has around 2mm wear difference between inside and outside edges. So Im...

Noticed that the left rear tyre was wearing significantly faster on the outside edge so took it to the dealer to ask if they could check alignment. Answer, "Its a Cup model and the manufacturers tolerance is for up to 2mm uneven wear across the tyre" This sounds like a complete load of bo***ks...

Dont know about 182, but towbar is available for the cup, Got one on mine for a small trailer, the problem is remembering its there when you are towing!!!!

I notice that continental are now advertising a "sport contact 2" version of the tyre that it is fitted to the Cup, appart from the obvious difference of a diiferent tread pattern, has anyone tried them and are they an improvement over the original sport contacts? regards

Thanks for the info, I am obviously starting to show my age!!

I see from the ads and the write up in Autocar they are making noises about the new exhaust manifold contributing to more power. From what I have read they have changed it from the existing 4:1, to 4:2:1. Many years ago when tuning escort RS2000s and the like was the rage, it was common...

Has anyone replaced the rear pads on their cup/172?. I would be grateful for any information on how you got them out? regards

Has anyone replaced the rear disc pads on a Cup? If so how did you get them out?

Anybody tried changing the rear pads on a Cup yet? If so how did you get them out?

Given the number of posts on this forum about reliability problems with the Cup, I suppose it was bound to happen. After 6months and 6000 miles of trouble free motoring it fails to start. Car returned to Dealer courtesy of the AA and fault diagnosed as a faulty battery! After only 6 months! Even...

Have the best of all worlds, standard airbox, panel filter and add a cold air feed

Speaking as a Cup owner I would rather trade the weight of a few lbs for having the security of a proper spare as oppossed to a pair of crap aerosol cans with a 50:50 chance of working and getting you home!

The odd rattle from the parcel shelf and buzz from the dash, but after 4500 miles no problems at all. Car is going great and the engine appears to be starting to loosen up a bit. All good news

Anybody any experience, good or bad, with Michelin Pilots?

Try Kinnor Services http://www.filterpower.co.uk/http://www.filterpower.co.uk/, found them to be reasonable in the past regards

As they both breath from more or less the same place, I,m not so sure. Still dont understand what relevance the tube to the manifold would have in that situation? regards

I know from other posts that the general concensus is simply to do away with air intake system altogether but does anyone have information on just how it is supposed to work. From what I can see there is a vaccuum connection from next to throttle body that runs to the valve. Logic would seem...

I know the Haynes manual doesnt cover the 172 engine, but does anybody know if there is a factory manual that is obtainable at a reasonable price?

Not quite as long, but my cup took about 8 weeks to come thru. and that was about a month ago when I took delivery. Reason was that there were none in the country and they were building to order. Given that it is suppossed to be limited production car I suppose this is reasonable. I also have an...

Thanks for the replies, As I previously owned a Clio 2 !6V which had a steel spare, I assumed it would have been similar in all the Clios. I didnt reckon Renault were lavish enough to provide 5 Alloys. Thanks for the welcome, forum site looks good with plenty of discussion on just about all...

Hi, If you own one of the current model 172s, could you do me a favour. Could you check your spare wheel and see if there is a renault part number stamped on it! I want a spare for my Cup and my renault dealer is not being particularly helpful. Thanks very much
