OK so I had a 172 cup for 6 years and replaced it with a 197 which I had for 8 years, hence why I'm a member on this forum. Now we traded that Clio 197 in last week for a Megane F1 R26. Good condition seems well looked after but a few niggles that needed sorting parcel shelf double din stereo...

Hi guys, I've had a 197 now for around 6 years (172 cup prior) and a few years ago I passed it over to my wife after buying a 3.2 TT. Anyway it's been a great car, but recently it's had some intermittent issues starting, usually resolved by giving the fuel tank a swift thump. I had a good idea...

Had this for a few weeks now, sounds like a ty wrap tied to the drive shaft and hitting the floor as you drive along. The rate increases with car speed and not engine rpm and does it in all gears and declutched. I jacked up the front end today and let it run in first and second with the left...

So i passed my beloved 172 cup to my wife and bought a 197, first impressions i love it, not as raw as the 172 but i love the extra head room when pushing it hard. anyway, back to subject =pHaving had a full set of JBL speakers and pioneer HU in the cup, going to the standard set up in the 197...

Hey, As per the title. Happens at all speeds and gets louder the faster i go, theres no judder under braking, and i put it in garage a month a go to get the front pads (same time as rear shocks) done as i was suspecting em, but the garage said they didnt need doing. I did the pads and...

Had my 172 cup for 3 years, in the last 6 - 10 months ive had a strange problem developing. It started as ... Everytime i raised the drivers window, the right indicator would flash til i let go of the window button. Then it developed a little more into the right indicator coming on randomly...

Had this problem for a while. It started out as .... when i raised the drivers window the right indicator would flash. Its now developed into the right indicator coming on on its own and staying on. But quite strangely, it disappears on long drives and returns a few days later til the next 30...

I've just had my cup on ramps and had a look around it. I looked at the back end above the rear suspension bar and the biasing valve is there but it isnt connected to the rear suspension beam. Normally this would be a problem, but with it been a cup, then I aint too sure. Any ideas? Also...

My CUP passed its MOT this week, however the rear brake efficiency was only 52%. The discs and pads both appear ok. Any ideas? Cheers

Hey. Anybody know how to stop the passenger seat on my cup from rattling on the rails? Its v.annoying! Is there a way of tightening them, or should there be an insert on it like on the drivers seat? Cheers

Yep, i'm a cheap skate, not bothered if theyre used, anyone recommend some? Mainly listen to dance whilst i'm driving, fronts will be running off pioneer 50w per channel Thanks

Just had ago, were with bell and elephant at the moment, just ran a quote, was about £120 cheaper overall, not bad!

I made a post recently about acquiring these and how much. I keep reading adverts on ebay saying theyre becoming rare, however I spoke to renault and they could order me a pair in for £19 the pair. Just a note for anyone wanting to get some.

I've got a "laquer" scratch on one of the wings on my cup, I've tried t-cut and colour fast, its better, but still there. I've read a few posts recommending scratch x, so just wanna confirm which is the best. Cheers

Has anyone done this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CLIO-V6-172-182-BLUE-SMD-DIY-SPEEDO-KIT-RENAULTSPORT_W0QQitemZ4631223251QQcategoryZ10410QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem How easy is it? Whats the final effect like? Cheers

My mrs is jealous of the cup cause its faster than the golf, LOL! So we've decided to have something done with the golf. I know that the turbo and engine is the same as the 180hp Audi TT (engine and turbo numbers), however its limited to the usual 150bhp. Anyone know of a plugin ecu to "chip" it...

I've seen a few posts from people enquiring about the silver plastic airbag trim for their motors, whilst looking though ebay I stumbled across this. The actual listing has finished, however there is some links in it to others though. hope this helps someone...

Anyone know the proper name for the plastic trim that fits on the pillar of the drivers door and slots into the door card? Mine won't stay in the door card and it's annoying me, one of two minor problems! Cheers

Ok i'm about to order a new temp sensor for my cup. However I have a nipple on both wing mirrors. I've taken the passenger side cover off and know there is a probe in there. Whats the chances of there been one in the drivers side mirror aswell?

I'm thinking of buying a new temp sensor for my cup, however I'm not sure where it is. I know it's in the bottom of the wing mirror, but which side? Is there one in both sides or is it one in one side and a dummy in the other? cheers
