    ESP/ABS & SERV Light

    Dash lit up with these lights a few days ago. Also realised my brake lights aren't turning on until a fair amount of pressure is applied. Installed a new brake light switch which has done a grand total of f**k all. I've read that these lights can be caused by the steering angle sensor, but...

    Returning member - back in a Clio!

    Back in the game after a couple years out! Needs a couple of jobs doing - engine bay tidy being the first. Cosmetically it's not a mint example by any means, otherwise it's a really well sorted car with a decent spec. It's pretty nippy around the b-roads, to say the least. Ktec decat Pure...

    What's the average 172 Cup Mileage these days?

    If you have a 172 Cup, what Mileage are you on? Cast your vote above! With Cup prices being tipped to increase over the next few years, it'd be interesting to get an average mileage for the car, now some are reaching 16 years old!

    Engine/Gearbox noise

    Hi guys, Some of you may know that after a fair bit of work my Clio finally passed it's MOT a few days back. Well, that happiness and relief has been short-lived, as the Clio has decided to stab me in the back and throw this one at me In fairness that video makes it sound worse than it...

    Cup Rear brakes MOT

    Took my Cup in for it's dreaded MOT today, and surprise surprise, it failed- on quite a few things. I know this one has been mentioned a few times across this forum *Brakes imbalanced across rear axle* It's also failed on worn rear discs, so I'm obviously going to get these changed along with...

    Another battery thread...

    Hi there, On 4 random occasions now, my 172 has refused to start. Turn the key and just a click and nothing, engine won't even turn over. Strange because the lights and wipers still worked absolutely fine Try a few times, maybe leave it a few mins, pump the throttle peddle (don't know if that...

    Airbag light Derbyshire

    Hi guys, Can around Derbyshire who can turn my airbag & service light off my 172 Cup? I've tried messing around with resistors and nothing seems to be working. The wires don't match up with any of the Cliosport guides. (I've got sparco buckets and sparco wheel). Also Diamond motors are booked...

    Careful how you jack your Clios!

    Halfway through jacking my 172 up I heard a massive thump and the whole thing nearly slid off the jack. Lowered it back down (thankfully still had the wheels on) and was greeted with this. Photo doesn't show it too well, but what's happened is the whole sill seems to have folded in...

    172 struggling to engage reverse

    Hi guys, Just recently, I've found my 172 Cup is struggling to engage reverse gear. The collar on the stick pulls up and springs back freely, exactly how it should feel going into reverse gear. But when lifting off the clutch I sometimes find myself going forwards rather than backwards! Takes a...

    Sparco Steering Wheel Cover

    I've fucked up my Sparco Wheel trying to clean it, used recommended shampoo and followed online guide but now it's dried it's all rough and tacky. I'm such a knob, pissed off to say the least. Anyone on here used a steering wheel cover that actually looks decent? Or ideas to sort out the wheel...

    Vmaxx springs over-compressing?

    I've narrowed down my awful knocking noise to my cheapo VMaxx spring compressing too much and hitting themselves over bumps. As you can see just stationary they're far too coiled up? So going over bumps surely they're gonna make a knocking noise I'm experiencing? I've tried reseating...

    James' 172 Cup Project

    Hi guys. Signed up to this forum what feels like 40 years ago when I had a gold Clio 1.2RT as my first car, but never posted anything. Anyway, I'm back now with a 172 Cup. Got it back to mine yesterday so haven't even had a chance to clean it yet, never mind start changing things. Here's a few...
