Well…. On closer inspection the clips have totally sheered off the scuttle tray so no clips are going to fix that. Are the Trophy scuttles the same as standard 182s? I’ll have to try and source a replacement. Is it a fairly straightforward job or am I going to have to rip a load of other...

Cheers dude. Ordered these but can’t see obviously where they would go. Hopefully this will be more apparent when they arrive:) Is it a ‘take the dash off’ job or can it be done from the engine bay or similar do you know?

Hi guys, I’ve noticed the black trim at the driver’s side that should be flush with the windscreen is lifting. I can’t see any way to secure it back down unless there’s a broken clip I can’t find? So maybe the plastic has warped over time? Any suggestions? Mat

Iv’e got a rear pair that are shot and would be interested in knowing if there is an ‘acceptable’ replacement before I go throwing silly money around trying to get them refurbed at BG.

Turns out the throttle bodies were shot. Cheers y’all.

I’ve got water coming in the boot which could well be due to these as they’re rattling around and loose. have you got a website link for getting these grommets from fella?

Dear all, During the recent cold snap my Clio got very little use and now bizarrely has begun to rev high when idling. With no throttle it sits there revving up to 2k, and once warm fluctuates between 1k and 2k, just going up and down if it’s own accord. The electric warning light then came...

How about Aux, Tensioners etc? Any advice on other major works that are needed periodically? I’m figuring it’s been a long time since I bought her so should just get the lot done?

Hello! My Trophy just passed her 100,000 mile birthday! Can someone advise me at what mileage stages the various essential maintenance needs to be done as I’m sure she’s due. I’m thinking belts and any other stuff that needs doing? Cheers Weasel

So after many ‘fail to starts’ I’ve narrowed it down to dampness. Each non start has been either in rain or drizzle, with her firing up like a champ once it’s dry again. Off to the garage I guess!

Well I’m open to suggestions for other minor upgrades.

If anyone has recommendations for garages (ideally Midlands based) that can advise on and carry out improvements I’m all ears.

Has anyone had any experience of K-Tex? When I got my Trophy she had a few subtle mods (Intake and exhaust). It looks like she may need at least the exhaust replacing and don’t fancy going back to ‘stock’ and have read about these guys. I know traditionally Trophy owners are purists, but has...

If I were looking to improve the performance of my Clio (air intakes, remap etc) where would people recommend?

Cheers guys. Yes the rear one does look after market. £85 for a pair of stickers???? Thanks Renault. Thanks :)

Hi guys, I’m looking into getting a respray as the old girl’s paint could do with a new least of life, but does anyone know if the side and rear ‘Trophy’ decals are still available? If not has anyone ever got some new ones knocked up by a firm somewhere? Any recommendations?

Cheers guys

Spoke to a bodywork place that said to get a respirated match they’d need to do the whole front of the car and remove the original decals etc. Costly and annoying.

A respirated is too much money and was wondering if anyone had or knew of a replacement bonnet for sale? Cheers Mat

Hi chaps, For quite a while now my girl has been running like a dream and I have a local garage who know there onions. But recently I’ve been thinking I’d like to get a Clio specialist under the bonnet to give her a ‘proper’ check, for all the stuff specific to Clios that a regular grease...

Mint. I'll get my grease monkeys onto it. Since BTM went away who do people use in Birmingham now does anyone know? I'd much rather have people who know older Clios poke around in her.

My battery is fine, it just seems to struggle firing up. new sparks resulted in easy startups for a fortnight, now it struggles again. could something be clogging the Sparks up I wonder?

I had my Trophy on a fault finder the other day and a lambda sensor issue was highlighted. Ive been having some real issues getting her started some days with her refusing to ignite when turning over. Could the sensor cause this do you know?

So for the last few weeks my Trophy's start ups have been getting.... Bumpy. Turn the ignition... and instead of starting straight away, the sound of everything 'turning over' but no actual engine ignition. (think of the sound of a car not starting in the movies and you've got the sound is the...

This is the view under and behind the glove box. Only that one white box that looks like a relay, but none of the six I've been expecting to find. There are relays under the bonnet next to the battery. I'm guessing it's not then?

Yeah, I have nothing that looks even remotely like that under/behind the glove box. Ive been upside down in there and can't see any relays at all?!?!

About a week ago my right dipped headlight stopped working. Sidelights, fogs and full beam are all fine. Last night the left one failed. Same lights all work. Ive looked at various threads and seen it may be fuses or the relay. But I don't know 'which' fuses, and have looked behind the glove...

Cheers chaps. Mim giving Prestige Wheels a look on the Kingsbury Road Birmingham. About a ton all in so they say. Fingers crossed...

Hello! I bottomed out in a pot hole the other day, and after a juddery trip on the motorway have finally got her up on a ramp and notice I have a 'flat spot' on my front offside wheel. So... 1) does anyone know a place in the midlands that can straighten alloys out? (no idea if this is even...
