Thanks for the info Oracle. 👍 It's difficult finding these parts and the rest brakes too. I've had no reply from RPD, so I'll look into buying from your links. Thanks again

So I need some rear breaks for the Trophy. Where are people going to source these? I've tried Renault who want silly money. Seems eBay have plenty, is the beat place these days? I guess thats the place for a n/s front hub assembly that I need? Not available at Renault. I can get the flange...

so just to draw some closure on this. After much deliberating I decided to call Charlie and explain the issue I had with my exhaust. Giving credit where it was due, he couldn't have been any nicer. After discussing this and explaining some options, he was very happy for me to source a repair...

Thanks for all your replies, appreciate all of your inputs. I can't hide the fact that I am bitterly disappointed and feel let down by the workmanship. Given I noticed the leak within 12 months, and failure at 24months, I cant afford to bin the £600 I paid for it!!! So rather than drive...

looks nice and tidy under there frayz, nice and shiny. Yours is going well, not much required in after care. I did think about your Yoza but I was thinking it would be a little too loud for me. I think I will give them a chance to see what they say regards fixing the pipes back on before I...

Not quite sure of the point of this post, maybe just a sound off, get it off your chest kinda thing lol. So I was looking for an exhaust upgrade, a nice shiny stainless steel one, one that will last. Uhmm.. Done a bit of research on here, found some good reviews of one and thought, that's it...

oh yes, I would not replace just one broken Spring. In my case it would at least be both rear springs, just wondering whether to replace the fronts at the same time. thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks dablk. Yes i was aware they are cup/182 springs. in two minds as to stick or twist lol. Guess it cant be too difficult to find them S/H. Are you suggesting it will be ok just to replace the rears and not the fronts at the same time? Then new set all round, as you say would be better. The...

Thanks for your input Ant. I think fitting any of the Springs mentioned will lower the car somewhat, which I accept and wont fret too much lol. Good to hear the handling hasn't been compromised, enhanced it by the sounds of it.

Ant, thanks for your reply. interesting point you make about the balance and set up, didn't think about that point though obvious now you mention. guess that's why you don't see just rear or fronts, as they are best replaced in sets. I do remember seeing the Eibach red ones on this thread I...

apologies if I'm posting in the wrong thread lol, there's lots of technical info in here which I'm not familiar with. Anyway, I have a broken rear spring. I am looking to replace just the rear, as its best I believe to replace them in pairs. having a little look around, most replacement springs...

I have a Misfire too, problem is I have changed plugs and leads and coil pack. process of elimination I know. Problem is the coil pack has gone again. Which is really annoying as its only recently been fitted. I was told its best to replace with genuine Renault parts, I called the dealer who...

That's what I like about this forum, there's plenty of friendly and knowledgeable people willing to offer help and advice. Top stuff, really appreciate the replies. Certainly have a dilemma now in which one to go for. Ruled out the rs192. will go for one of the others

dablk and sharky, thanks for the replies, your thoughts are much appreciated. I had a look at ProSpeed and like the service they offer, i'm going to sound really stupid here, lol, do both Piper and ProSpeed exhausts come with new catalytic converters supplied? therefore my cat is no longer...

Evening guys. I didn't want to hijack Simon ' post so thought I best wait. I too have been looking to replace my exhaust, though having problems with it. The T seems to be mis-firing. Stalling easily on parking and pulling away is very juddery. Eg, 30mph in 3rd or 4th pulling away is very...
