Welcome to the site, you're just down the road from me :) Hope to see your Trophy about, although it'll probably make me miss mine even more!

Sold! New owner of #399 is from Pembroke so she's not too far away. Sad to see her go but I'm sure Leon will look after her. Rhod

That would be shameful behaviour!! The Mrs has been nagging me for over a year to sort the kitchen out and I can't take anymore, but thankfully that isn't the reason for selling it. :lol:

Reduced to £5300 for a quick sale. Need the funds to stop my Mrs nagging me for a new kitchen. Couple of interior shots:

Cheers, I really can't understand the lack of interest! I've had one person get in touch but they were from Kent so couldn't get up to view it. Personally I don't think it's overpriced either considering the amount spent on it! Should have mentioned that I've owned the car for the last four...

Reduced again to £5500.

Horrendous.

Price reduced to £5750. And my number is 07840377714 (not ending 719 as I put above for some reason). Cheers, Rhod

I experienced exactly the same thing last year with Direct Line. My renewal quote came through at £610 (up by £45), but went on the Direct Line website and did a quote as a new customer which worked out at £540 or thereabouts!

Discovered the problem. One of the rear dampers was completely shot, changed them for a brand new set (last two in the UK!); and problem solved.

Reluctantly, I'm having to sell my 182 Trophy to cater for two little ones and the baggage train that goes with them! Few basics: Just over 58k miles, the car is off the road so this won't change. 2 Previous Owners Full documented Service History with Receipts MOT til December 31st HPI...

Hardly anything really other than general wear and tear that you expect with any car, not just Renault. I've had the Trophy for four years and a 172 Cup for 2 years prior to that, and no major failures to speak of.

Experienced exactly the same thing that the OP has described after changing my PE2s to PS3s. Had my dampers refurbished, ball joints replaced and it hasn't really sorted it, so I'm starting to think its the tyres!

Cheers, will give them a try.

Anyone?

I'm after a set of either standard Trophy dampers or Konis. Cash waiting. Cheers, Rhodri

Nice of him to let me know after I offered him the cash for the rears.

No worries mate (tup)

My above offer for the rears still stands if the fronts have been sold? How much would you want for them and do you have the original receipt from Renault? Sorry for all the questions! Rhod

If you're prepared to split how much do you want for the rears?

Also interested in how you get on as I've just found that website. The cynic in me says they'll be normal Cup rear dampers, but really hope I'm wrong!

This seems to be coming up quite often. After having my dampers refurbed a few months back, the handling on 399 is pretty appalling to say the least. Its got to the point where I've completely lost confidence in it, even over familiar roads I drive on every day. The car feels very unstable and...

Mine isn't pulling off line either mate but I am experiencing major crashiness and wobbling as you describe it. I also thought a broken spring, but they looked fine when I put them back on a few weeks ago.

What you're describing here Gazza is virtually word for word how I'd describe my situation. The handling feels almost as bad after the damper refurb than it did beforehand and I've lost all confidence when cornering. I did notice an improvement in turn-in after changing the ball joints, but...

Will do. If it's not there tomorrow I'll swing by on Monday.

Not sure mate, just has the For Sale sticker and a mobile number. I can get that for you if you like?

Looks as though the owner of this car works in the Plumbing shop as it's parked there everyday. Now has an enormous 'For Sale' sticker in the rear window since I spotted it last week.

I wish I had enough time on my hands to do this, looks beautiful. Stickers are ghey though.

Spotted a T in Neath yesterday parked up outside Tackle n Bait all day. Looked like it had an aftermarket exhaust.

I thought the rear dampers are just 182 Cup ones with a different sticker on?
