Lowered looking good. Raspy exhaust maybe a yozza or something! Didn’t catch the reg, was around 4pm this afternoon

I just tilted the recaro seat forward and when clipped back it now doesn’t lock on the runner it just slides back and forth - and I have a couple of broken bits as per the pics - any advise??

Just thought I’d share some pics of my new arrival. I’ve been hunting one of these down for a while now, and having been close to buying a Williams lately - I decided for what I wanted it for it just wouldn’t fit the bill, and went for a trophy instead! it’s currently on 101k miles, is number...

Just out for a drive in my 182 and the rev counter illumination went off, and came back on and went off. Seems like a loose bulb or connection - any ideas?

172 cup. Was running fine and after being sat on the drive for about 3 to 4 weeks it developed a missfire. It had new OEM leads and new ngk laser plat plugs. Eml flashing and then solid, stinks a bit. I pulled 2 of the injectors and found them to be a bit dodgy so replaced them Obd brings...

I changed plugs for ngk and fitted new OEM leads and car was running fine. Parked up and just fired it up to go for a drive and it was misfiring from the outset with engine light flashing and going constant. Plugged in my obd and got 300 random/multiple missfire. Unplugged injectors one by one...

My garage called to tell me that one of the pipes on my cup has a small leak as the heatshield from the exhaust has rubbed a hole in to to. First question, without being there to see it which hose would this be? Also is this pipe cup specific?

Can anyone help me to identify this stainless system please? Slash cut tail pipe

I was thinking it would just be straightforward but having done a search it seems I have a few things to think about, airbags, horns, steering wheel angle sensors etc? Anybody shed some light to make sure I’m not getting mixed up and don’t buy the wrong bits :)

Hi all, Just bought a cup which came with this exhaust. It’s not to my liking so I’m going to sell it, but I don’t know what it is. It’s a cat back though. Any ideas?

My cup has just randomly developed a misfire and wondering where to start really. A while back it cut out and wouldn't restart which turned out to be dirty connections at the 5 pin relay which I sorted and has been fine since. It's also had a new TDC sensor and the plugs were changed 15k ago...

I've read a couple of posts which say just get them from any motor factors, having been to 3 who all say dealer part only (who want £20 for it) where can I find this? A relay should only be a couple of quid! It's a 172 cup..

Can anyone tell me which relays are which on a 52 reg cup? And which one is the actuator relay? Thanks Tony

My cup has been great, no issues or anything however earlier today it was turning over for a good while and just wouldnt fire! It took a good 3 or 4 tries and then spluttered and came to life. It's been fine since! Any ideas where to start with this one? Cheers Tony

Hi a friend of mine has a 2002 Clio which for a while has had a problem where it will randomly stall at junctions and the warning light always comes on on the dashboard. So far it's been to a couple of garages including Renault but after replacing lots of things the problem still persists...

A friends clio 1.2 16v (2003) has just shown a warning light which the manual says is a toxic gas warning light. Any ideas what could cause this, is it safe to drive and also are renault the only place who could hook their box of tricks in to see what the problem is or do the likes of the AA/RAC...

car is a 51 plate with 40k on it. When pulling away in 1st or sometimes reverse the car has a creaking noise which is very annoying. I replaced the dog bone mount this weekend but its still the same. What other causes could there be? Its not a driveshaft noise or clutch, it appears to be...

My 2001 172 (mk2) has developed a fairly loud buzzing from behind the dash somewhere, not sure what it is... It doesnt change with engine speed and remains buzzing when the climate is turned off... It is like a constant humming noise, any ideas what it could be?

My car has minor scratching from previous washing and was wondering what is the best way to get rid? I was hoping to give my car a good polish this weekend and have struggled in the past to get the results I was hoping for!

Just wondering what people have done to use the Ipod in a 172 with the standard fit radio and CD player? I was thinking of using the Itrip Nano but a mate had one for his ipod mini and didnt rate it at all, apparantly it saves the radio frequecies in your playlist and when on random will play...

Argh!!!!! I Have had a 172 before and having just sold my integrale Evo I need something a little better than 15mpg on juice so am after another Clio (I used to have a Williams 2 then a FF172... I cant decide whether to go for the Cup or the 'normal' 172. My thinkings are that the cup has...

After having my magnex on the car for about a week, I noticed last night that it has dropped about an inch, after looking underneath it looks like my exhaust rubber right at the back has failed as the lug that comes off the back box is near enough sitting on the bottom of the cradle where the...

Considering lowering my phase 2 172 by 40mm, I have standard wheels at the moment but was wandering if this would be a bit too much? I dont want to go too low and end up with scraping probs or anything, is 40mm acceptable? Cheers aB

Hey, I have bit the bullett and gone for a magnex cat back twin3.5 rolled from demon thieves. Its due to be fitted tomorrow but was looking for your thoughts on this system, does it look good? does it sound good, ie not too loud? Is £365 fitted from demon tweeks ok? Car is Mk 2.. Ant

Cant beleive it, the backbox on my 51 plate, 30k mile 172 has just snapped off on the way home from work! Its right at the flange.. has that happened to any one else? Will renault pay towards it under warranty? and how much will this cost me?

Took my car in for its 24k service on sat.... not a happy chap! Car is a 51 plate mk2 172. After its service I was told they had discovered an oil leak on the car and suspected it to be a crankshaft oil seal. As the car is past the first year of its warranty, I would have to be the bearer of...

My 172 ticks over at about 500 rpm which seems a little low, although the car doesnt stall.. Is this right or should it be about 800? cna it be adjusted when my car gets serviced next week?
