I just bought an Alpine head unit. Do i need a special adapter for the display screen to work, i have been told i need one otherwise the display screen wont work. If i dont buy one the controls on the right hand side (volume control and changing stations) wont function. Have you lot...

Would these springs improve the handling on the Cup. I know a few 172/Cup owners have had the Eibach springs fitted, does it make a big difference. My Cup hates bumpy uneven surfaces, and tends to tramline. Would the Eibach springs be better than the current Cup springs. I live Ealing most...

I am having problems with my Cup at the moment, every time i drive over 60mph i am getting vibrations on the steering wheel. The faster i go the worse it becomes, by the time i hit 90mph the feedback from the steering wheel is sh*t. This effects the handling in a big way. Renault traked the...

Do any of you cup owners live anywhere near London (Acton) i am having problems with my cup and need another cup owner to drive my car as a comparison to theirs. I am very paranoid about my car and the way it handles. I have taken the car back to renault many times, they dont know what the...

I have taken my cup to be tracked 3 times in the last month, they can never get it right, even indendent garages with all the laser equipment do a sh*t job. My car was last tracked on friday just gone by the renault dealer, the steering hangs to the left but the tyres pull to the right, sounds...

Please i need your help I have had so many problems with my cup, its all to do with tracking. The front end feels so loose and not very responsive when driving. In a stupid way it feels like the front tyres are loose even though there fine. Once i hit some top speeds, the car is all over the...

Just went to an independent garage to get the tracking done on my cup, they told me i needed 2 new tyres, the only brand they had was Avon, i told them to go ahead and put them on. Have any of you heard of a tyre brand called AVON if so what are they like, are they a sh*t brand, i have never...

I need to ask you lot a favour What are the tracking setting for the cup, renault recently tracked my car, and made it worse, i need to go to a garage with the laser tracking systems. Renault still track there cars manually.

Do any of you cup owners have problems with the bloody seats, the catch bit at the back of the back rest always seems to jam, you really have to give it a big pull so you can pull the seat forward and let people into the back. The drivers side seat is already broken and needs replacing, this has...

Hi People To cut a very long story short, i have asked many people on the forum for advice which has been excellent. All of you know alot about cars which is more helpful than Renault themselves. When snowing months ago i hit the front end of the car at 15mph, the subframe got changed, a new...

Lads i have had my cup now since october last year, my steering is around 5 degrees to the right from centre. I have gone to my local dealer many times but always give me the same sh*t, its meant to be like that. It can be very misleading and can never go in a straight line without adjusting...

Guys what is the proper setup for the tracking on a clio cup as i need to track the car asap. There is too much play on the steering wheel, sometimes i feel like a Formula 1 driver always having to correct the steering constantly, eg on a motorway, very smooth surface, i need to sort this out...

Lads i am new to the site and need help, when it was snowing a few months ago i was doing around 15mph and tried to go round a bend, the wheels locked up and ended up hitting a pavement. I damaged the sub frame, suspension, the steering rack and the lower left wishbone. Everything has been...
