Dear Renault,
I remember seeing the then brand new Clio 197 at the UK Autosport show (must have been 2006 maybe) and I immediately wanted one. I thought it looked fantastic, just right, purposeful, and it had dock-off Brembo brake calipers. SOLD. It was a car I really wanted, but I was still at...
Some degenerate misfit kicked the drivers side wing mirror off my Mrs's car last night - even snapped the wiring loom.
[2010 Mk.3 facelift Clio 1.2]
It looks like the main black plastic casing is broken where it hinges - does anybody have any pictures which might help me to bodge it back...
Im thinking about chopping my year old 200 Cup in for a late V6. Either that or an Exige, but Im leaning towards Clio v6.
Any thoughts?
I walk to work so fuel economy is a non-issue.
Present 200 is on a PCP so I'd have to buy through a dealer and have the finance settled, not a big issue to...
Hi,
I live in Northwich and I want to treat my 200 Cup to a proper full interior valet and exterior detail (alien sperm wax etc), hopefully to also offer the bodywork some extra winter protection.
Can anybody make a recommendation?
Hey Chaps,
The gearbox in my 200 Cup seems noisy, I think when its warmed up.
If Im on a light throttle I can hear chattering and when Im accelerating or coasting down in say, 5th, I can kind of "hear the gears" - it just sounds rough.
Is this normal? Has anybody else noticed this?
The car...
I must have sat on a piece of silicone-putty (that funny bouncy play putty stuff) and its transferred quite nicely to the white part of one of my 200 Cup seats.
Before I go ruining the seat with all kinds of abortive cleaning attempts, does anybody know how to remove a silicone based stain from...
Ok I'm a little emabarassed to admit that given the weather recently I havn't felt much like washing my car.
On visiting the Trafford Center today I discovered that a gang of trained monkeys will wash your car for a tenner while you mince around the shops.
Perfect.
Except, when I came back to...
The screewash in my Clio keeps freezing up so I want to buy some decent stuff that wont freeze.
Any suggestions?
Whats the coldest your car has been without the screenwash freezing?
I picked up my new 200 Cup about a month ago. Since completing the running in period I have found that the car makes a funny noise when I change gear above 5000rpm.
Its hard to describe but its kind of like something keeps spinning when the revs drop, a bit like spinning something around a...
I am looking for a set of plain black protective seat covers for the standard seats in my 200 Cup. I have had a look on ebay and have done a google search but I don't want to buy something that is shoddy or doesn't fit well.
Any suggestions?
Yep, you read that correctly.
I just rang Renaultsport insurance for a quote to cover my 172 Cup fully comprehensive.
I am 26 years old
8 years NCB
No Accidents
No convictions
No modifications
5k miles per year
They declined cover because I am under 30 years old.
Well done Renault, well...
I know there is a simple answer to this but I ran an online insurance quote through Direct Line and got a shock.
Details:
26 years old
8 years NCB
No convitions
No accidents
Good post code
10k miles/year

Sems rather high, would you agree?
I have just placed an order for a new 200 Cup and the dealer has informed me that the factory is not currently taking new orders. This is because they have an issue with new emmissions regulations or something and they are trying to sort it out. Very vague.
Does anybody know more about this?
As per the title, I've seen a liquid yellow 182 on the top forum banner with the front brakes glowing.
Does anybody know what brakes this person is running?
I did a trackday at Oulton on wednesday and experienced more body roll than I would have liked.
I'm running standard dampers, Eibach Sportlines and Yokohama S-Drive tyres - so not on sticky rubber.
Is it possible to buy a stiffer front anti-roll bar? or am I barking up the wrong tree?

I have a 172Cup with 63k on the clock, which I have owned for the last 3 years. Bog standard with no mods. This is a great car but...
Last weekend I test-drove a Clio RS200 Cup and bloody loved it.
So, the dilemma....
Do I keep the 172 Cup, which I own outright, buy some mental brake pads...
I removed the carbon cannister black box from the drivers side wheel arch today. I connected the two pipes together (airtight) and left the plug connector.
On starting the car the idle seemed eratic. Not massively so, but definately more lumpy than normal. Anyway, Ive put the carbon box back...
Ive noticed a creaking noise coming from the front left wheel when I brake gently in a car park. It's different to the top-mount clunk you get when the suspension unloads, its a bit like pulling your finger nails down a very rough piece of plastic (cant think how else to describe it)
I suspect...
I've bought 4 15" OZ F1 wheels. I've looked at the writing cast into the back of the pokes and I cannot see any reference of wheel offset. I was expecting to see an ET number.
The wheels have "Renault" and "OZ Italy" stamped on the back, and a bunch of other numbers, but apparently no reference...
I'm thinking about fitting a manual bias valve to my 172 Cup, in a bid to get the rear brakes working a bit more. They seem to do absolutely sod all at the moment, and Im sick of fitting new discs because the old ones have gone rusty (4 sets in 2 and a half years)
Am I playing with fire if I...

Are these any good?
Im looking for trackday tyres for my 172 Cup
Is there a guide on how to fit matched inlets? Im thinking about buying a set from k-tec for my 172 Cup, just a bit worried about disturbing the injectors incase I manage to break something.
Any advice?
Cheers,
Kev
I started my 172 Cup this morning and the SERVICE and Airbag warning lights stayed on.
A mile down the road they went out, and have been coming and and going off intermittently all day. They are either both on, or both off.
I suspect a loose connection somewhere in the airbag systems but...
