can someone tell me what this hose is?

nice to see you putting this wee motor to rights!

Quick question I have looked about and can't seem to get it straight in my head from any of the answers i have read.(duh) The car came with a cone filter which i have replaced with one that i had new lying about the garage however everyone has told me to get a standard box back in. So i managed...

MOT failure yesterday on offside rear wheel bearing and offside front lower ball joint, grrr. so did both front ball joints as the other was on its way out, the bearing wouldnt press out of the disc, so new disc on too, and now have another year! could have done without the extra expense still...

MOT failed! Offside lower front ball joint and offside rear bearing pfff! so having both front ball joints done, the other wasn't a fail but was on its way, and a new bearing then back in this evening for the retest. 500 is a very good price!! I will say that I did get new plugs, filters, brake...

had a night mare with the old airbag serv light problem, it had been intermittent since i bought the car and for a while fiddling with the connections under the passenger seat sorted it out until the seat was moved again/ About 2 months ago that stopped working so i thoughr i would try what i...

replaced the Apex springs with new Cooksports, new offside rear caliper plus new brake pipe to connect it also added 2 new uniroyal rainsport 3 to match the 2 that went on at the start of the month.

after a couple of days of being messed about by mechanics that don't listen, I found one with a Renault clip and he switched the light off, he said it hadn't been hit. It was showing the 187 Trigger Line Configuration Coherency Error, probably because of the seat change he also said it wasn't...

I will look at that in the morning cheers.

are there definitely side impact sensors in the 172 cup as it didn't have side airbags?

2 resistors per seat we have one in the pretensor one in the airbag(which we don't think we need in a cup but its done anyway)

Yeah in the right place and 3.3ohm as it says in all the guides. do i need to clear the airbag ecu? does the cup have the side impact sensor in the sil? is that worth checking?

I know this is a common fault. The car is a 172 cup with phase 1 172 seats, for months the lights were fine then occasionally i would have to jiggle the harness and they would stay off until the passenger seat was disturbed, then that wouldn't work anymore. So we followed the guides on here...

Fitted a new K&N cone filter. :D

I'm in Northern Ireland. Yeah, can feel like madness sometimes, pouring such a high percentage of car value into it but, as you say, when you are enjoying the results it feels a wee bit sweeter, especially as so many are being broken up for parts, rather than put right, for exactly that reason...

Well picked the car up and all good. Got a full service and fluid refresh along with the belts, they also fitted a new pulley, to replace one that had a flat spot probably from a previous belt change, and a new map sensor. The mechanic said the car is in great shape which is nice to hear...

Well the service manager runs a Renaultsport owners club over here and seems a lot of people use his dealership. As far as other specialists not exactly thick on the ground over here. Buying the parts myself saved me over 150 on what they were charging. Guess we will see what happens...

Loads of gear going into the motor tomorrow at Renault.

Bought my Clio 172 cup in May as a quick, cheap replacement for the car i had, that a drunk joyrider, being chased by the cops managed to run into writing it off as it sat parked outside my friends house. Initially I went to see a sensible low mileage 09 1.2 clio and arranged to view the 172 as...

I am going through the Renault dealership in Newtownards one of the service managers there runs a renaultsport owners NI facebook group and has talked his boss into giving price reductions on servicing for renaultsport vehicles!

ooh shiny! I want mine to look this clean. lots of work to do!

should be clear here i'm not doing the major mechanical work myself paying pros to do that so would feel like a bit of a fraud starting a project thread! So far though i have had all the engine mounts replaced and in the next 2 weeks its getting a new cat and a full belt service inc water pump...

Just about to spend silly amounts of cash on the wee 172 cup i picked up a few months ago so decided to it was the right time to say hi. located in Belfast and here to hopefully get tips and advice and learn some things from those in the know maybe offer some help if its something i know about...
