One month left on the warranty. The internal locking/unlocking switch seems to be broken too. Mum says she was driving along and it was locking/unlocking........not so good!

Just going to see if its still under warrenty!

My mum bought my 172 cup from me when i changed cars and now the central locking is playing up. Sometimes it goes through a lock/unlock cycle when she tries to lock the car. I think it might be moisture in there some where but i dont know where the controller for the central locking is located...

Ive got a thule rack from my friends at Dales;) Just watch out that the pads dont mark your roof, they need to be spotless when fitted, i had 4 nice rectangular marks on my roof after using one for about 6 months..... Eventually just ended getting some thick blankets and putting the seats...

Pop the bonnet, its on the top left corner just by the wiper arm. Small black flap. IIRC.

For circuit racing my extinguisher has to be within reach while you are strapped in(with harnesses). Dont know if hill climb regs are any different?

If they ask, just say you clean your wheels with soapy water. Dont tell them if you use any acid type cleaners as they will probably blame it on that.

Must be KPH.......

At least your car still drives, i only got 2 grand for my car from the insurance and id spent over 6 grand back then.

Know how you feel. The timing belt snapped on my 1.9 205 gti and knackered the engine so i got a mi16 conversion carried out. I got it back from the company(3 grand lighter) that did the work after it being off the road for 3 months and the next morning a guy in a bmw jumped a red light and...

Yup, cut the bumper. I hate how they hang sooooo low. Friend had one on his ibiza cupra and he ended up getting rid of it.

Looks like fun!

My rear nearside shock started leaking after 16000 miles on my cup and i had to pay a percentage of the cost due to it being a wear and tear item! Only ended up paying about £20 but i think it depends on the mileage done. Sounds like you would have to pay more!

I think its one of those situations that if you hit an evo nothing more would happen. Cant see how they could sue you unless it was deliberate? Just unlucky, but im sure if you took an evo out on the track you would make sure you were insured. Just the same when doing a race. Say sorry then walk...

Yup, they all have a unstable idle as you say.

Not my cup of tea really. If you want Lexus lights buy a Lexus:)

Guess it depends where you do most of your driving too, i hardly ever drive in heavy traffic which means im breaking when i want to rather than having to react to someone elses. I always do heel/toe braking which unsettles the car a lot less, but again thats not trying to panic react to someones...

Renault sport logo is just a stick on badge, unlike the clio on which is pinned on to(leaves holes when removed)

Put your aunt or mther in law on, just never let them drive it;)

I saved £100 by putting my mum on the policy.

Depends where you live, im near Inverness so much cheapness up here!

Bell and Elephant are both part of the Admiral group of insurers.

yup, but it is for a 172 cup...doubt it would make a lot of difference though. Get a quote online.

Im with admiral and im 30, full no claims and no claims protected for £326 whith my mum as a second named driver.

Hmmmm, had a 205 mi16 but must say my clio cup handles quite a bit better, and im sure there is very little difference between the performance of them. I had spax dampers and springs and the 205 front would bounce all over the place. Glad i sold it in the end.

Is it not seasonal?

At least they dont stink!

Windy, isnt it?

Hey stu, bet the dealer put diesel in it!!!!
