I've had my Cooksport springs on for a couple of months now and since then I've noticed a small amount of uneven wear on the front tyres. The inside is wearing a little faster than the outside. Couple of questions... Is it necessary to correct the camber with Eibach camber bolts for the 25mm...

I was recommended by Diamond to get KYB (I think, I sort of forgot) top mounts instead of Renault ones, but there are a few types of these for sale on Ebay that all say they fit 172s/182s. The ones below are the cheapest, but there are others that look identical, yet more expensive. Basically...

Mick from Diamond informed me at the weekend that the airbag module in my car has malfunctioned which is causing the SERV and airbag light. He said I needed to replace the module under the centre console, is this the right one? Thanks...

Not the very bottom (obviously), but the bit covering the wheel well. I've always wondered this since I've had the car (3 years) and never thought to ask. It's nasty and now rotten as I have a small water leak behind the OS rear light cluster. I've taken it out of the car while I work out what...

In the first couple of minutes at least. Hill climbing looks like such good fun. Watch from 3:40 for a bonkers bit of 182 driving.

I've some compressors coming in the post, but I'm looking at it now and wondering if they're needed as the spring seems to be at full extension. Just a quick yes/no, cheers.

Does anyone have a photo of a 172 cup with normal 172 wheels they could upload here? Looking at getting a 2nd set of tyres and turinis are a bit expensive. Cheers.

I'm following this guide to change my spark plugs. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?587428-clio-172-182-spark-plug-change-a-helpful-picture-guide&highlight=spark+plug+guide I've removed the 5 bolts on the front and 2 at the rear. I was expecting the plenum to pop off but it is...

My friend is looking at buying a 2004 182 with 55k miles from his mate, I'm helping him buy a decent one for £3000. It's black, has both cup packs, is standard and has a 'full' service history. I've now learned that it has never had the cam belt, aux belt or dephaser changed - so FSH it is not...

My car passed its MOT on the second attempt yesterday. On Thursday the rear brakes were at 53% efficiency, on Friday they were 60%, enough to pass. I showed them the VOSA document anyway, which they had never seen so they took a copy of it. I thought I'd see exactly how good the rear brakes...

Having a mad moment here and considering switching to a 182 Trophy from my 172 Cup. Trophys are hovering around the £5k mark and I think my car is probably worth about £1700 (its coming up to 90k, but in good condition), so I would need to spend another £3300. "Is it worth it?" is probably a...

I haven't seen anyone mention this when I've been searching ways to fix the airbag and SERV light, so I thought I'd make a thread for anyone who has tried everything else. Best of all it takes 10 seconds, costs nothing and needs no tools! I tried the usual quick stuff to fix this which didn't...

Just your bog standard cup here, the way it should be :cool: I went out for a quick country drive for some photos after washing the car today. I was losing the light rapidly hence the dullness of the photos, but I kind of like the car in low light. I did what I could with the manual settings on...

Just looking for a recommended place to get front and rear bumpers repsrayed on my Cup as they are properly tatty from the previous owner. I may also get the side strips lacquered. I'm after somewhere local so I can drop the car off and come back in a couple of days with it all done. Also I...

Is there anywhere on this site with definitive information about what needs to be done on the 12k/2 year service? After searching I'm seeing all kinds of different answers. The reason I ask is that I changed the oil and oil filter 2000 miles ago and the air filter is apparently a life time one...

I posted here a while back about how loud my new back box was from the autofactors. I thought it would bed in but it hasn't at all and now it's got so annoying and makes me look like a chav that I want to change it. Also it deafens passengers in the back seat. Can anyone recommend one that they...

The original Renault back box fell off my car so I got a replacement from the autofactors for £70, nothing special just the one you'd get on any car if you asked for a new exhaust. I went for that because I'm not interested in having a louder car. It's different to the Renault one obviously but...

My 172 cup has been SORN since the end of October 2010 and today the time came to get it back. After a quick jump it started first time and after 10 minutes idling, off I went to get petrol 3 miles away. I was pretty happy at this point, everything was going far too smoothly! I was prepared for...

Passed RF04 *** on the way to tescos, clio sport sticker on the bonnet. Hope it was only a flat tyre or something minor :)

Spotted on a roundabout on the A428, kings terrace. I was walking on to Kings Road. Car looked nice :) I've searched RF55 and its' been spotted before with no replies, guess they aren't a member!

Can anyone tell me if it's supposed to stay on after the engine is switched off? I just went out to the shops and then stopped for approx 45 minutes. When I got back in the water temperature was still sitting in the normal area and hadn't cooled off at all. Just to be sure I checked when I got...
