Where?? - can't see it

Count me in, i will add my name when you put the group buy in!!

Had three clio sports now, all three seemed to have a life of their own. I've found that when you test drive the car ready for purchasing the car seems perfectly fine but when you have had it for a few weeks you start to find it tramlines and feels out of control - mine does this all the time...

Just bought myself a 182 clio, there appears to be a leak coming from the power steering hose leading from the rack to the fluid reservoir. Its the shortest of the two hoses and a hole appears to have worn away in the alluminium section of the hose close to the exhaust heat sheild/exhaust...

Hello My power steering pressure switch has started to leak power steering oil, just had one priced at Renault £59!! - does anyone know if the switch is the same on other renaults or is the cup one got a different part nr? Cheers Griff

Is it wise to have two different tyres makes front and back, i currently have GSD3's on the back (2month old) and want to put pe2's on the front - do you think i will have any problems?

I havn't checked the top mounts - how would i check these? The track rod ends have been checked and look okay, the anti-roll bar bushes look a bit worn and thought this may be the root cause Tyres are F1 GD3 on front (Stamped made in Germany E? not Taiwan) and Toyo Proxes T1-S on the back with...

Hello Had my 172 cup for 12months now and since having it i've always felt like the handling ain't like it should be. The car drives straight, the tracking is fine, had the ball joints checked, dampers and bushes with only the ARB looking a bit worn. When going over bumps, grooves, dips...

Fitted bolt and tested car today, feels much firmer and steering feels tighter. Does not look any lower at the moment but waiting for it to settle down Would recommend these springs to anyone with a 172 cup

Let me get my new bolt onto my suspension and i will let you know

Hello Just been to the scrappy and the bolt is different on the standard clio's. Anyone know if the laguna bolt fits griff

I damaged the thread knocking it out with a hammer, when i refixed the bolt/nut the thread stripped until it seized. I tried forcing it to tighten but then it snapped. Need one tommorow and was thinking of visiting the scrap yard if the 1.2, 1.4 clio's have the same bolt - i know the scarppy...

Hello Just fitted new springs and the suspension bolt snapped on me. The bolt that holds the strut to the hub - there's two of them but only snapped one I've used one of a vauxhall for now to get me going but its not as wide in diameter as the renault one Does anyone know if the bolt is...

I used 95 Ron in the car when i first bought it because i did not know its required 98ron and tbh i did not notice much difference either

Can anyone tell me if you can use 95 RON fuel in the 172 cup? i know it recommends 98 but can you use 95 or will it affect the engine? Cheers Griff

“you'll see a small piece bolted on again, that’s the bit you'll want to remove” This is the part I described as being an oil breather - any ideas of what it is because I’m certain the oil leak is leaking from this part and not the rocker

So is there an oil breather on top of the rocker cover that also has a gasket and if so will removing it affect the cam's ????

Hello I was changing my spark plugs on my 172 cup yesterday and i noticed oil had been leaking over the top of the rocker cover, seems to be coming from a gasket between the rocker and as what i could describe as being an oil breather on top of the rocker. Spark plug 1, 3 & 4 contained a bit...

Hello Just had my 172 cup MOT'd today and it failed on the rear brakes efficiency, its well below the standard but funny enough when you try the handbrake it passes with flying colors. We've tried replacing the pads but still no joy - has anyone expeirewnced anything similiar with their's...

Hello Thinking of buying a set of sportlines for my 172 cup, can anyone advise where to get them from, how much and what the part number is? Also, thinking of upgrading my suspension bushes for poly bushes - anyone know were i can get these from and are they easy to fit Thanks Griff

Hello I have recently bought a 172 cup 53reg, the car tends to tramline but steering/wheel alignment is straight having had it adjusted. Over the past few weeks i've noticed the rear appears to be low and i have taken some measurements hoping you guys can advise if the ride height is...

Any advice on whether lowering my 172 cup is a good idea or not? griff
