Yeah it's a Phase 2 172 Cup. When I turn the key to start it it does absolutely nothing! When It does this a "Click" sound comes from the passenger side footwell area. Does this mean anything?

So my car has developed an annoying habit, where it tends not to start....sometimes! Though if I leave the car for an hour or so and go back, it starts! Wtf? I have 2 keys with the car and both are useless when the car is having a hissy fit! My current solution to this problem is bump starting...

Hey guys, just a quick update. Turns out it was the Dogbone mount, as well as the upper engine mount. Thanks to all for your advice!

Yeah man the hit was pretty central and it vibrates sooooo bad! It's much worse when pulling off and it's more of a weird rumbling with a clunk when pressing the accel pedal. No suspension issue either.

Soooo I seem to have an issue with the car where it's vibrating and knocking like mad when driving. This problem has recently developed after the underside of the front end hit a speed hump! : ( I was going a little too fast I guess..... So yeah, I don't know if I have damaged the gearbox...

Now that i do not know! Its a good idea though. Im guessing after you said that they're practically the same. Would the pre-cat lambda only make my car how it is? Or could the other too?

Ha Ha! Yeah no worries dude. Unfortunately i don't know anyone with an RSTuner, in fact i don't know anyone around here with a Sport. Most ideas of diagnosis point towards it being a faulty lambda. If this sounds similar to the problems you were having Tony, backed up by several people saying...

Ignore the Guide request part.... just found one on here. Should have looked before asking really. Duh!

Cheers for the advice guys! Yeah i had a feeling it could be either a faulty injector or a lambda sensor. I should be taking it to get on the diagnostics machine on Friday, would this typically pick this sort of stuff up? How difficult is it to change a lambda sensor myself? Any guides you guys...

The car is completely standard, and it's only started doing it in the last month or so. It's definitely getting worse, and I know there is definitely a little drop in performance. There is no EML light either, it only pops when starting from stationary or when I'm pressing the accel from 1500 or...

Sooo as the title suggests my car is being a right ba$tard! I'm hoping one of you knowledgeable peoples can shed some light on this. So my car has been spluttering from start every time i go out in it then after 10 minutes or so it stops spluttering and is OK, not great, but just OK. When i...

Cheers for the insight guys. I guess its just one of those little annoyances ill have to live with. Granted, its not the worst thing in the world, ill just have to warm her up before i go out in it. I'll have a little look at the plugs too, i have no idea when they were changed last!

Yours too huh! Im convinced something else is to blame, anyone with ideas as to what else it may be? Surely this problem isn't standard with an RS?

Yeah that's what I've started doing. I have also read on here that similar symptoms are normal with a sport. My initial thoughts were that it could be a faulty lambda sensor, but surely some sort of light would have come up on the dash for that?

Sooooo as the title suggest my car seems to behave rather odd when starting from cold. It's only recently (month or two) started doing it and im just looking for some advice. There is no EML light on the dash or any other to indicate a problem as such. After the car has warmed up, maybe 10mins...

I found this on the similar threads section below the thread i was on. I saw the title and took no notice of the year it was originally posted.

Ha Ha! I didn't notice how old this was! My bad! :o

Re: Archived Post from old forum Yeah, i've definitely noticed this with mine. Any ideas of why that is? Shitty Engine mounts?

So this description may be difficult to diagnose from, so ill try and give as much detail as i can. Now i know my gearbox is on its way out, i'm guessing Syncromesh is at fault here. From cold the gearbox is OK (sort of), goes into gear fine through all selections. When warm however it doesn't...

Ha! Ha! BEST DESCRIPTION EVER!! Definitely the same issues im experiencing, thankfully, not a majorly expensive replacement!

I wish i could buy it off you dude, got bills to pays before i even start modifying the car. Out of curiosity though, how much you looking to get for it? Ive mainly been writing a 'Wish List' if you like, with what id like to do to it. What sort of gains we looking at with the RS2 Inlet?

I'm thinking of any manifold which would be an upgrade to what i have now (Standard), and yes i would be looking to match the inlets. I wasn't sure if you could get them off other models of Renault where it would be an upgrade like you can do with some Pugs and Citroen. That's why a simple...

Hey guys, just recently (Before Xmas) bought a 172 Cup and am loving it. Especially coming from a 2.0 HDI Pug. Though after reading a few project threads and looking through the performance thread i've noticed a few of you have upgraded the inlet manifold. With this said i have yet to come...
