I took the trophy down to the local garage and had the front springs and dampers taken off and replaced with new mark fish springs and some brand new cup dampers. The problem is that under compression (fast turn in or over dips) I get a rubbing sound- anyone got any ideas? Btw (the original top...

not sure if I'm to late but please add me!

#450. 47k.

Mines just hit 45k after buying it with 5k on the clock in summer 2006, just had an MOT today and noticed that I've only done 5k since 2012!

So I had my AIRCON tested and regassed not long ago and it's stopped working again- took it to another garage to check and test again. - basically a defective valve (expansion valve I'm guessing) and radiator. Ask them how much to fix........ "uh.... that will be £955" !!!!!!!!!!!!!! so I'm...

So what's best for fast road V or W ??

Think I'll do standard engine mounts (are the KTR OEM ones ok?). If I change the tie rods should I get the tie rod ends also? Also - have all Trophys got SMI racks? Or do I need to check. thanks again:)

Anyone else agree? K-Tec - contacted them via email for a quote -no reply . These guys any good? (actually it was their online quote thing after you have selected parts).

TOMMO- can you post some part numbers and prices and best place to buy:)) edit- just read a post about 'new' style Renault top mounts. - I'm guessing I need these if im going OEM.

Thanks for the replays people:) so what do you think of this:- So far I have decided to do the following:- new powerflex (purple) on everything on front end (inc dog mount). OEM top mounts. sachs refurb and new springs. considering the following:- engine mounts (OEM?) new wishbones (the...

To be honest I love the car so much I'm never gonna sell it. So if I am going to spend some money on the little fucker I'd prefer to do as much as I can. I don't track it, fast road around the great Welsh roads mostly. I can justify a decent amount of funds as I don't replace my cars every 3...

Finally getting a refurb on the Sachs, thought I'd replace the springs whilst they are being done. Couple of questions for you guys. - What are the part numbers for the springs? - Are the original springs still available? - I've had a dig and found these (are these the ones)...

Hey Sharky, you the guy sometimes in the layby in Caldicot (just after the lights/co-op)? -

Hi all, just seen the images on this Trophy on eBay, the 1st pic looks so good!! . Apologises if someone has already posted it. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=161601067605

Nice one mArc, how much coolant did you drain before removing the coolant temp sensor? Thanks again

Also have you got the numbers for the Fuel rail guard bolts/studs. thanks Marc. where do all you guys buy your parts/spares?

Thanks Marc- the second item is what I'm after:) the MAP sensor isn't the one I was thinking off - I'm on about the sensor that is on the right hand side of block lower down than the air temp sensor. do you know which sensor measures engine temp? - I was havingsomeprobs last year with the...

hi all fellow Trophy owners, still got mine, nearly owned it for 9years now:). Anyway, I know you guys (or some of you ) have part numbers off the proper Renault parts software and was wondering if you could tell me the correct part numbers for the following:- what I am after is the sensor...

Regular stalker of this forum but never time to post T450 is all well (apart from CV boot clip fail) currently on 41k. Anyway, whilst changing the front discs today I realised the T needed some TLC on her, so I plan to refurb the front dampers, new springs on front, lower wishbones, powerflex...

nearly hit 30k, so now been sent to garage for aux and cam belts, plugs, water pu pump, rear discs (bearing gone), general service, bit of opies Titan and exhaust fix. I might start driving it soon! (been real busy and the T has been sitting on driveway for a while)

cheers guys i will prob do the water pump if its easier/cheaper whilst doin the belts, i'll have a rethink on remap for now. btw - my engine mods cost £555 :wink: (£330 for Scorpion and a bare carbon Maxogen enclosure was £70 on ebay but i needed the mounting plate £20 the filter element £45...

cheers for the reply, how much is the water pump and how long\much to fit? ta.

Hi all havent posted for years but allways havbe a browse on the forums, anyway T450 has hit 26k and in need of a service...couple of questions. 1)- Do i get the aux and cam belts done as its nearly 5yrs old (and if so is it cheaper to buy these parts myself)? 2)- I 've upgraded to brembo HC and...

and there was probably VAT on top. (didnt even ask).

well seeing as no one had any ideas on where to buy the exhaust rubbers :( I went to Renault and thinking they will be around £15 quid a pair I was not pleased when the parts man returned and said they were £16 EACH! (for a small loop of rubber) :evil: ...... ....needless to say I made my...

looks the same as this one on ebay...

yeah, i bought 1 and didnt work so bought another and that didnt work so it must be my Trophy :( i'll send you one, if it works pay me if i dont send it back. deal?

I'm looking for the rubber exhaust mounts that are next to each other at the rear (not the metal and rubber mounts on the rear box's) any ideas other than the renault dealer? also i've got a k-tec center mount but it doesnt look like the original one, its shorter (unless the original has...

e-mail Polished bliss, there really helpful they detailed a Trophy for someone and sent me the photos and a how to and what they used to acheive the results. They advised on using 'Jeffs' Prime, Gloss and Jett kit, that was about 18months ago, i now use raceglaze and polish by hand (i'd wreck...

shouldnt be polishing and waxing every month, if the polish is an abrasive type you will be doing more damage than good. useing a quality polish every 3 months minimum myself, and waxed with 2-3 coats of a quality carnaubra wax should suffice, inbetween polishes, just wash the car (not with a...
