Hi, So I thought i'd get my hands dirty and have a go at changing my rear discs / pads. This has not gone as smoothly as I have hoped, and I've had to give up for the day with my car still on stilts. One disc slid right off, the other will not budge.. i've tried: Hammer Bigger hammer lots...

Hi, I have found a relay with the reference 77 00 414 484 in the passenger footwell of my clio. I think it has come from the UCH, but cannot see from underneath the glvoebox where it would slot in. The only fault that i've noticed that may be related to this missing relay are the fog...

Hi, The other day i rolled over a curb coming out of a car park. It was dark and turned out to be bigger than expected - my mistake. I've cracked what i believe to be where the manifold connects to the cat - please see photo below. I've been told by a local mechanic that he can weld this...

Hi, For a while, I have noticed that my 172 Cup performs much better on some days (or driving sessions) than others. Now, i understand that the weather can make a difference - sure, when it is moist, and after rainfalls the car often performs wonderfully. However, the difference seems to be too...

Hi, Time for an oil change, and I may have overdone it with the oil. Having little choice in quality, ester oils in my area, I found a small garage that enters cars into rallies, who have provided me with 6 litres of: Motul 300V Le Mans, Ester, 20W60 oil This was not cheap - this may be a bit...

Hi, I've done a search on this, and cannot find a definitive answer. I need to buy new rear shocks for my 172 Cup - is there any different in Cup rear shocks, to standard 172 rear shocks? If so, does anyone have part number please? Thanks!

Hi, My 172 Cup is standard in terms of suspension/wheels/tires, however i noticed some pretty bad rubbing of the inside of the rear tyres (see photo below): Would spacers such as these solve the issue? Would it be better to add spacers on all four wheels, or just the rear two? Thanks...

Hi, So i bought a 172 cup around a month ago from an ex-cliosport member; 50k, full service history, has been running great. I live in the French Alps, and unfortunately garages here are expensive, parts are more so (80 quid for a set of plugs), and my French is not perfect - i'd therefore...

Hi all, new to the forum! Having been living in the French Alps for quite a while, i've been looking at getting something worthy of driving on the local roads... Two weeks ago i found that car - a 172 Cup with 50,000 on the clock, well looked after (by an ex Clio Sport member). A long...
