That would be mine, in for a cambelt, service and some new tyres. Becoming an expensive hobby!

All I can say is don't go for the cup dampers. I had some fitted to mine for a couple of weeks after Renault ordered and fitted the wrong parts and I had to wait for new Sachs ones to be shipped from France. First corner I went round I thought I was going to end up on the roof!

The Renault garage found out the same thing. Cup dampers come with all the bits, Sachs dampers are just a shock in a box. They thought that the mounts etc were the same as the Cup ones. Can anyone confirm this?

A quick update, meant to post sooner. As mentioned previously I've been driving round with the Cup dampers on since Renault got the wrong parts delivered to replace my leaking rear damper. Now for the better news. They finally got the correct dampers in and fitted last week. I'd already paid...

Red_Beastie, I did call them as soon as I got back, but they have to get them France, so I'm driving round with those on whilst waiting for them. I'm led to believe by the guys at Renault that the Trophy ones are distinct from both std 182 & cup variants...

Seems to be lots of confusion about this. I've currently got the Cup dampers (at least that's what Renault claim) on the back of mine after their parts system mixed up the numbers (see page 4). They look very different from the proper ones. For starters, they're black rather than silver/grey, no...

That doesn't sound like good news. Might give them a call and chase them as they said 5 to 10 days, although given they put the wrong ones on anyway, not sure I'd trust what they say... Why did you need to change yours?

It's also worth noting that the handling is now slightly more "interesting". Definitely looking forward to getting the right ones back on there.

First off, apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but it seemed the most appropriate place for it. Just took my Trophy in to Renault for the rear dampers to be replaced as one was leaking oil, drove it home and something felt odd. Turns out they put the wrong dampers on, the Cup spec ones...
