I did try, its just a little too deep to be successful though unfortunatly. Its hard to get a clear shot of it. You certainly can't see it unless you are intentionally looking for it!
Hi Guys,
Unfortunatly it looks like my time with the Trophy is up :-(, since moving I am doing a lot of motorway miles and I just can't bear to be the one to rack them up, so going to have to sell and get something more economical and comfier on long journeys.
Im putting it on sale first on...
I get this creaking noise as well. I can't figure it out, but it started only when reversing, but now it happens when I am going forward and at slow speeds. I have had one CV joint replaced, there is no travel in the ball joints either. Top mounts?
Really starting to annoy me!! :evil:
Not what you like to find when you open the garage door in the morning!
Safe to say that one is dead, any advice what to replace it with? Should I just replace that one with a standard item or replace both rear shocks with Konis while im at it? Any real advantage with Konis?
Cheers

Saw you going between Taddy and Thrope Arch at about 7 last night...
The one time I saw another one and I was in a courtesy car and not in the Trophy as its getting its belts done. Typical!!

I recently got my insurance through Tesco (shock horror!)
Not too bad really, was £500 for the year (23 5 years no claims and with Brake mods declared).
I found that putting my father on the insurance really brought the cost of the insurance down (by about £200)...not that I would ever let him...
Hi Guys,
Have decided 263 needs a good detailing as the swirls inflicted on her from the last owners misdeminours are really starting to annoy me!
I don't really have an idea what to look for when choosing a detailing company, anybody got any suggestions for ones in Lincolnshire?
Cheers

Hmm thats worrying,
When I was coming up the A1 the other day, on cruise, the engine temp (which is usually rock steady 1 division above the middle) dropped down to about 1/4 of the way up the gauge, stayed there then returned, it did that quie a few times over the next few minutes, and then...
Thanks for your help guys, just wanted to check it want going to expire anytime soon!
Will keep an eye on it and give it a change next month I reckon when I have a bit of spare time!

Hi all,
Just checked my oil (I use silkolene Pro S 5W-40) and I was under the impression fully synthetic oil should be clear(ish). Mine has, in the 1200miles since I changed it gone a dark brown, almost black. I have done a trackday though, although I wouldnt think it would turn it that colour...
Hi Guys,
Was wondering if you could help me with the history of my Clio, 263. I bought it off a dealer in Boston back in July and I havent been able to locate its previous owner or even where in the country it came from, as it has only one previous owner, and that was Renaults Finance Company...
I have just had a similar problem to you,
going out of a 30 with a Golf GTdi up my chuff, put my foot down in second and the Golf kept up, whats going on! Was up to full temp, has it lost some power? Might have to take it to a rolling road and get it checked out....

Just had the Trophys first service and MOT, it may already have had the service but it wasnt stamped so I wanted to make sure!
The Renault Service Centre at Ancaster near Sleaford were excellent, they fixed my seat (wouldnt slide when tilted), gave the car a good clean, and the engineer knew...
