Cheers guys ill see what he says.

Its the drivers side engine mount. Iv just gave it another hard rock and both the rubber stoppers are loose and one has just fallen off so the engine is banging on the frame. Iv wedged some thick tire in to keep me on the road. How much am i looking at paying?? any rough ideas?? Could be...

That does sound promising Russ and would make sense so ill give it a go. Iv just taken the car to a rapid fit garage and they havnt got a clue what it is and said i should take it to a renault dealer!! No way with there prices!! lol. :S He thinks its transmission related but cant be sure...

I have just rocked the engine and cant here a thing, everything seems solid and theirs no noise or banging. There is no noise when the engine is turned over just when i accerlerate and i nothing is looks wrong so i cant figure out what it is. The mechanic I use is on holiday for 2weeks and i...

Thanks Stu that was the first thing that came to my head. How much do you think im looking at paying?? and this might be a stupid question but could it still be driven because i really need the car :/

hey guys iv got a 172 cup. When i accelerate especially through the lower gears it sounds like somethings grinding as if something metal is dragging on the floor but there aint anything dragging. If i accerlerate really lightly and drive really slow there is hardly any noise at all but put...

if moneys not a problem then i would go for the 200. I personally prefer the look of the 197's front end and with the 197 cup you get the spoiler which makes the car look alot better in my opinion so if you do decide to go for the 197 id go for the cup or R26 F1-team edition, but the 200...

haha mine had 45k on the clock when i first got it. Shes been treated like a princess lol. As we all no though low milage means nothing if it hasnt been serviced and looked after well.

just be patient and the right one will come around then go for it. They are great cars i love them but mine will be up for sale soon. Had it 2 years now and its time for something new :) 57k with nearly FSH, missing 1 or 2 stamps. ;)

152. or what ever number it is :S aha!.......Japmaster :D

i think everyone has different opinions, iv never driven a 200 yet and cant wait to but i prefer the look of the 197 anyday, especially with the cup spoiler, black front splitter and black skirts. Only thing that really annoys me is what renault actually did and what they could of done to...

of course there all welcome, its about the love for clio sports and cars in general, at the time you might not be able to afford a cliosport but eventually you might have one :)

its all about who you no isnt it, its high running costs that put people off buying cars like clio sports but they aint to expensive to run, except petrol :/ if you no a mechanic or your good with cars (which im not, but i no alot about them) then its going to be even cheaper, i got the cup...

my mate has a trophy, another mate has just sold his ph1, i have a 172cup, the trophy has a better driving position because it has buckets seats standard but thats it, the cup feels quicker and on paper it is quicker even if it is only milli-seconds, the cups lighter and handles just the same...

yeah your right Vpower came out on top but thats what i used for the first 4months and never had much luck. i heard tht tescos super unleaded has the highest ron of the lot but not ure if this is true. Never used it because there aint a tesco garage cnear me only shell BP and Texico and Asda...

wish i took the offer now then lol, i was to in love with the car back then, if you offered me £5000 i would of humed and arrrgghhheed about it. took me to long to find such a good example that wasnt to far away

iv never seen one like this :S the grill actually looks quite smart!! :)

when i first had the car i used nothing other than vpower, it ran fine and i no its cleaner and better for the engine but i was noticing that the mpg was dropping fast and i wasnt driving any different. i rang a garage that did remaps and they siad the ecu was mapped to run on normal unleaded...

well with or without them custom stainless's 72cups still faster than them 182's and 197's not sure about 200's lol :rasp:

hahahahahahha of course its relevant!!!!!!!!!!! so a 80,000 miles cup in bad condition should be priced same as mine with 38,000 on just because its what there worth!! thats bull s**t so if some had brought a 172cup when it was brand new and garaged it new used it much, had 2,000miles on, just...

i love quotes like this because makes me want to get it back in shape asap becuase must mean i had a amazing cup, this is at the time a got offered £4500 trade in price for the typeR which was £6700 or the trophy was £6500 at another garage. or 4100cash even if £4500 was to another car still...

cheers mate! :D it will be sorted, gota keep us renaultsport fans on the road showing off the beautys!!

i was really tempted to let it go at the time but i love it and not many low milage full service history well looked after examples about, he wanted it off me for that price knowing he could sell it quickly for more. at least if i get it back in good shape ill always have a good offer from him...

yeah its driveable, pulls to the right quite badly and is making some wierd noises :( but the mechanic said its onyl body work damage. might be on luck with the parts :)

tried both of these now, not got a contact number for steve so just pm'd him and wrote on the forum, the site doesnt have a front bumper but does have a headlight for 60quid does anybody have contact numbers for clio spares and steve at sutts autos??????????????????????? that would be a big...

i no this thats why i want to fix it because with it fixed it will sell easily for £3500-£4000 but just struggling finding the parts, theirs no bumper on ebay for a 172 or 182 and had no luck from clio spares so im in a mess at the minute.

hahaha i new you would think its steap but from what iv been offered already with how good the engine and it has a full lightweight stainless custom made exhaust on it which set me back a fair bit aswel so cant accept less. it was perfect lol who is this fred guy, im from derbyshire

because 172 cups only come in blue and silver, mainly blue i might aswel just find a bumper then i dont have to get it sprayed because thats were the high cost is

for what the cars worth in good shape i dont think you would pay what i want for it, been offered £4500 from junction28 performance garage with it in good shape. id want £2900ish with the damage and i no that seems steap but all it really needs is a bumper and some tlc and its worth 4grand again...
