A lad I know is running a 172 Cup and is having a few mechanical problems related to his cat and ECU. He's looking for a Renault specialist based around Leeds. I'm sure Cue has mentioned one but I can't remember the name. Can anyone help? Cheers.

Which one would I be best off buying? I don't do many miles as I work away so I drive mainly at weekends. So it got me thinking a diesel might probably cost more than a petrol. But the diesel cupra has sooooo much torque! But I have heard they can torque steer out of corners! Which could be a...

HI Guys, Has anyone got any feedback on Prima Racing? A friend with a 172 cup recomended them and I am thinking of taking my car there for a service as opposed to a theiving Renault dealer. They do loads of things ranging from turbo's, chips, etc and are a renault specialist so i figured...

Hi All, I've recently uprated my brakes to Brembo HC disk, DS 2500 pads, braided lines and DOT 5.1 fluid. The brakes were treated gently for the first 250 miles, however, on returning back from a long drive I noticed they started squeeling when coming to a stop. As I was still a long way from...
