A lad I know is running a 172 Cup and is having a few mechanical problems related to his cat and ECU. He's looking for a Renault specialist based around Leeds. I'm sure Cue has mentioned one but I can't remember the name. Can anyone help? Cheers.

After four years of ownership, I'll shortly be selling my Trophy. My new car arrives early September and that's when I'll be selling the Trophy, we've only got the one car. If anyone is interested here are the details. One owner, full independent Renault specialist service history. 67,000 mainly...

Was it you Cue? Didn't know if you had a private plate?

What do you all think of the new Focus RS? I'm wondering whether, after three and a half years of Trophy ownership, it might be time to P/X it against a new RS. The Megane R26R has been considered but is too much of a compromise, we're a one car house and I drive mostly motorway miles.Thoughts...

One of the small steel brackets holding the ECU in place has cracked. Is there a fix? Its a Group N ECU which I got from GDI a few years ago, should I just have a word with them? Thanks for any help.

M62, westbound near A1 junction. White, huge spoiler, looked great. It's the first time I've seen one in the flesh and it looked stunning. Could there be life after a Trophy?

I know this has been visited many times but I'm looking for some new brake discs and pads. Not fussed about track use, just want a good road set. They've got to be good from cold, not mark my alloys, no noise and I don't want to change the brake hose etc. I'm keeping it simple. Any ideas, plus...

West Vale, Saturday morning. Was going up the hill on my way home, another Trophy coming down.

Anyone on here fitted a strut brace to their car? Does it make any difference?

When pressing the clutch pedal down it feels like its scraping against something. It also makes a creaking noise. Has this happened to anyone else? Its been noticeable for a few weeks but has got worse over the past couple of days. Any ideas, ta.

Its time for some new brake pads. I was going to get some Feroda DS2500's but I'm struggling to find these. Has anyone any experience or opinions on the Mintex Extreme range? I can get these from our local motor factor.I don't intend using the car on track days, I just want some good all round...

Wednesday 3 January, around 6.45am, between Jct 24 and 25 east bound. Sad question, but what headlights do you have fitted? Looked like xenons.

My first attempt at finding a decent tyre fitter/ set up company along the M62 corridor didn't result in any suggestions so how about further afield? Which companies do we all recommend for tyre fitting and for getting the tracking/suspension settings done properly? I don't want my alloys...

It's almost time for me to get some new front tyres, 19,000 miles on my first set is pretty good. I'm also wanting to get all the tracking and allignment done as well. Do any of you know of a decent tyre fitter along the M62 corridor, i.e Liverpool to Hull. I'm willing to travel to get the...

Corneyman's has had to pul onto hard shoulder. He has a fluctuating temperature gauge and is waiting for Renault Assistance. He has asked for your help. Has anyone had a problem with their temperature gauge. If so could let me know what the the problem was so he can pass it onto Renault when...

I remember a group of forum members went off to Prospeed in Cardiff and purchased new exhausts for their Trophy's. Are the exhausts any good? Was the service good? Would you recommend going to Prospeed?

I've been using a cone induction kit on my Trophy and the heat soak is getting noticeable with the hot weather. I had the bonnet up the other morning and the cone was red hot. I was planning on putting the old airbox back on together with a new panel filter. Should I do this, will it make a...

I think its time to upgrade my exhaust and Hayward & Scott came to mind since I used their exhausts on both my past Imprezas with no problems at all. Has anyone fitted one of their exhausts to their 182? If so was it any good? I've been quoted £450 plus VAT which seems reasonable, half the...

Over the past week or so my exhaust has developed a creak when cold. I've taken my car to my local independent Renault garage, I don't have a convenient main dealer. He identified the noise as loose baffles in the centre silencer section of the exhaust. As some of you will know I've had a decat...

Just had the 'Exhaust Gas Monitor Warning Light' come on. It's a yellow outline of the engine. Completed my journey and car felt fine although I did back off to 50, was on the motorway at the time. Stop and Serve bits didn't come on. Simple question, what does the light mean? The car booklet...

When I set off in the car from cold, the engine feels like its running on three cylinders. A few hundred yards down the street and all is well. Is this an engine management thing? I had a 172 Cup a couple of years back and I seem to remember it doing something similar. Any suggestions...

One week old and I've got my first stone chip smack in the middle of the bonnet. I am sick!! Any suggestions as to what I can do? :(

Just picked up my Trophy, would someone please explain how you operate the lumbar support on the seats? One is fully extended, the other is fully closed. I also heard that you got a CD with the manual? Is this right? If so what's on it? Mine's No 242 by the way. Thanks for any help.
