Quick question..clio 172 cup

[Natton]

I think ive read somewhere that the Cup comes with a shift light in the dash. Is this true or is it just wishfull thinking on my behalf?

Some of the first 172 MKIs have the shift light, and all of the MKII 172s have the light and so do the cups

Its on the bottom right hand side, it comes on when you turn the ignition, and then just before you need to shift of course! Its difficult to see it too clearly if your concentrating where your going.

The shift light only come on near the redlline its not one of these which tells you the best time to shift its a warning only.

Its pretty useless on the mk2 & Cup, its tucked away in the bottom right hand corner of the clocks, nowhere near the rev counter!

Better on the mk1 as its near the rev counter and more visible...

Yeah, its stupid. I was hoping it would be a prominent thing in the centre of the dials but its a funny looking green logo that lights up.

Sounds like a waste of time to me. I mean, to keep one eye on the light and the other on the road, youd have to be...well, youd have to be one weird looking dude.

Surely Renault should have included a sensor in the gearknob, which simply sends an electric shock to the driver when he should change gear. Much simpler. You could turn it off too, if you liked.

Anyone who cannot tell when to shift up without a light to tell them should stick to automatic diesels.
