Hello Forum, A heavy handed car washer has managed to dislodge/loose my passenger side Washer Blank (The Cap on the bumper that covers where Headlight washers would be on a regular 172). I have spoken to Renault and they would only sell a pair, in Mondial Blue for the handsome some of...

So it seems the carbon bonnet is getting a lot of support? How much for one of those vs a straight cup replacement from Renault? Any pictures of a cup with a carbon bonnet?

I was driving along last week on a dual carriageway and a Lorry I was overtaking had most likely just been on a building site. Either way, a stone/ chunk of concrete bounced out from one of its wheel arches, skipped straight across in front of me before bouncing and hitting almost dead centre...

Couple of questions. Firstly and most importantly what should I expect to pay for the first service? (Its going in on Wednesday at Coulsodn Branch, Croydon) Do they look at brake wear and belt tensions as a matter of course or do i need to specifically request this? Finally, will they wash...

Was Driving through Houghton/Amberely on Saturday 23rd ?July and spotted there was some sort of renault corporate event going on.... anyone got any ideas what it might have been!!!???

Had the same problem with my cup when I got it, steering was off centre to right even when going straight! Took it into Renault and they sorted it... think it was just the wheel had not been put on correctly... once fixed it felt a whole lot better!!

Had a look again last night at the damage and reckon the laquer is definitely gone!! Either the pigeons near me eat battery acid and vinegar or im just an unlucky sod!! Shall look into the cost of an air rifle now!!! Any thoughts on costing to get 3 or 4 patches of non laquered mondial blue...

Surely I cant be the only one to have suffered this problem!!

Was unfortunate enough to have my car bombarded by some local wood pigeons... think it happened during the night and I only noticed it the following evening.... anyway, hosed it off and thought nothing of it..... However, I washed my car at the weekend only to notice that where the poop had...

£100 to £150---- ouch!!! had rather hoped that a quick rub down and re spray might be less than that!!!

Leigh on sea in essex!!!

Having looked at it.... reckon polishing out is beyond hope... it is quite a heavy scuff and reckon someone somehwere now has a nice helping of mondial blue on their front wing!! Do you reckon a local body shop could get hold of Mondail blue easily??? thats why my instinct is to go via...

Force of habit really.... always just have a quick snoop round to check all is correct.... up until yesterday ~I never had any problems....!! As for CCTV - I reckon if i were to go in to Tesco and say my car got scraped, can you check the cctv, they would tell me to go an poke it...

Had the misfortune last night to park my motor in the supermarket car park only to then come out and find some ass had managed to give my car a good scuffing!! Basically, I now have some quite large scratches on my passenger side wheel arch/ front bumper....:@ Does anyone have any ideas how...

Unfortunatley no illicit affairs here!!!!LOL! As for the Belts, The car has only done 2800 miles or so..... surely these wouldnt have loosened??

Had a worrying incident yesterday and wondered if this has ever happened to anyone else on here...... had been driving on m25 for some fifty miles or so and then got home. left my car outside for about an hour and then went to start it.... turned the key and then the engine tried to start but...

Thanks for all the feedback people!! lets Face it, £57.50 each has to be worth it when you put things in perspective. I had feared new tyres would set me back no less than £100!!! Reckon I shall continue with generous application of the right foot from now on!!! Only wish there was a way of...

My Cup has just gone past the 2500 miles mark and Im slightly concerned to see the front tyres are already showing quite noticeable wear..... I use the car mainly for motorway driving and also a bit of dual carraige way and roundabout action and like to give it a fair bit of welly when traffic...

How much does it cost to change the oil? what oil should I use and is it best to take it in to a garage and have them do it?? just done approx 1.5K in my Cup and would like the peace of mind to give the oil system a flush but not sure I can be arsed if it is a load of hassle.... Thoughts and...

Had about an eigth of the tank left (according to dash dial) and put £25 of optimax in and this took it to over the max on the dial. Have subsequently done about 170miles of mainly motorway/dual carriage way and have about a quarter tank left..... reckon the tank capacity is pretty small. If...

Not a detective by any stretch but reckon most likely scenario for the ebay thief aquiring the wheels would have been by stumbling across the abandoned car having been dumped by the original car thief. Alternatively, he may have chums who are in the stealing to order game...not sure what the...

Bought My Pre Reg cup from Renault Coulsdon in April. It was first registered by Renault at end of Dec 03... I guess they must have been sitting with it until the 3 month period had expired before they could sell it on to joe public! Assume this is the legitimate way of doing things at it is a...

Just had a call saying they have now received a new gearbox... lady reckons this always happens when the threat of a courtesy car is involved!! Apparently one of the grease monkeys will be beavering away this afternoon and car may be ready for pick up by close of play today!! Not sure if im...

Dropped my Cup in Monday to have a Gear box Gremlin looked at and sure enough, it turns out they need to fit a new Gear box!! All under warranty fortunatley. Unfortunately, there is apparently a back order at Renault on Gear boxes and as a result they cannot give me a date on when it will be...

Though my problems are some way off those of Nathan H.....Had my Cup 2 Weeks now and gave the little beauty her first bath and polish yesterday!!! Took it out for a gentle run in last night only to find this morning that the 7 of the 172 Cup badge on the passenger door pillar is missing...

Yep.... check paint.... something i forgot to do..... noticed in the sun the other day a sizeable scartch on the bonnet which someone has tried to polish up and it has made it worse......think they must have used sandpaper!! need advice on how to fix it up?? Any ideas???

£10K....... good work..... is that down from £10995??? Did you PX or Finance it? My dealer wasnt gonna budge..bummer as it was a cash purchase..no finance etc or PX! .......but i did get 12 months tax, crap mats and a tank of Gas..... no Luggage net though and splitter was not fitted!

Im going to try and fit the thing this weekend.... if it then causes me grief getting into my drive I may well be forced to sell.....!! shall keep you all advised!!:D

Similar theme.... hypothetically, supposing I had a slight, but annoying scratch on the bonnet of my shiny new cup that some hand fisted ass at reno must have tried to buff up with a wire wool or nearest equivalent. What would be the best way of dealing with this..... is a touch up spray...

Has anyone had any problems with speedhumps or parking dividers etc whith the front splitter/spoiler in place. My car is new and Ive still not put this on... was a bit worried it might grind when going up onto my drive.... reckon ill be alright going slow and angled but not too sure about other...
