alternator

From yesterday. Saw a couple of other Trophy's as well, Spank-It being one of them, not sure on the other :oops: New suspension setup on the Trophy is fantastic (set to -2.8 degrees negative front / -1.8 degrees rear), maybe not in the wet mind you, but when it dried out; lift, turn in, foot...

Well in the last few weeks the sudden drop in temperatures has caught out a few people In view of this I thought it worthwhile to highlight a few areas worth paying attention to. Coolant/anti-freeze - I've seen a number of cars that the anti-freeze concentration has been far too weak, causing...

Hi folks, I'm sure this has been asked before -I searched and couldn't find anything. Just bought a 182 and am trying to fathom out what exactly it is. It's a silver 55 plate with 16 inch anracite alloys, aircon and cruise control with half leather. My question is how do I know if it's a cup or...

Does anyone know the standard alternator part number for the trophy.... Thank you, jsthomson

Hi Guys, Right... alternator is not working.. its been checked and it definitely needs changed. Spoke to renault today and they're quoting £340ish for labour alone... plus £130ish plus for alternator. They have said that the front bumper has to come off... is this true??? Can someone help...

Here's the scenario guys & girls.......It's a Trophy - but then that's why we're all here isn't it :D Show's 25k and there's only evidence of 1 service conducted in 2006. No MOT and the front tyres definitely need replacing. What is this car going to need mechanically to bring it up to scratch...

36000 miles, 2005, No 110 of 500, Very good condition, FRSH, Tax and MOT till august, Red brake calipers Usual trophy spec ( which your probably all aware of) - Air conditioning -Cruise control -16``speedline turini alloys -Recaro front seats -Sachs engineering adjustable dampers -ABS and ESP...

Ok my T is a 55 plate 35k miles. I do approx 8k per year. I use it everyday for work 13 miles each way. Last week I used it everyday, twice on Sat. Day off Sunday. Came to start it at 5am Monday morning and it woldn't start, ticking over but not starting. My bro put it on the charger while I was...

Right, having just bought a Clio trophy, my beloved Williams has to be sold. It's a really tidy example, but to make it mint it needs a small ammount of work on one arch, and the drivers sill, there is also a small chip on the bonnet. Also the clutch is fairly stiff, like most Williams, and the...

when i'm driving my trophy i get battery light and stop light flashing the faster i go it flickers quicker? any ideas ppls :( :shock:

Saturday night i went to lakeside with the other half and i was doing about 75 it was raining hard and my battery light and stop light came on, it didnt affect my T in anyway tho :| i rang my mechanic and he said mite be ya alternator. thing is i have replaced it about 3 months ago. we got to...

I thought i'd give this a whirl on here rather than Cliosport, seeing as i know i'll be bombardered by answers like "Its your Tdc sensor" Now i'm not saying it isn't that, but i'm looking for someone to answer who has been through the exact same problem :wink: Turn on ign, everything lights...

Here's a video from Yesterday's trackday at Brands Hatch, 2 other Trophy's were there too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHjHopythvI Chris

First off, apologies for not being an active forum memebr for quite some time... So I took my Trophy in for it's 36k mile service last week, and had a call from the garage to advise me that I had an oil leak from the cam cover seal and that it did not make any sense to change the aux belt as it...

Kinetic Energy Recovery System. Anyone think this will be developed into road cars down the line..? It seems cutting edge F1 technology is eventually being put into road cars after a number of years when its no longer new. Could KERS be used in a road car to give a power boost ? Just a thought.

Has anyone had to replace their alternator yet. The bearing has gone in mine and I've tried getting a replacement from a motor factors and from Renault. Despite giving them the serial number both have been different to the original 182. The electrical connections are further forward and won't...

Typically, just as my car goes out of warranty, the alternator packs up! I have looked at euro car parts and they want a criminal £223 quid for a new one. Does anyone know a good place to get a reconditioned one, or has anyone got a spare they would like to sell? Also, is the alternator from...

i have a mk1 ph2 valver with an annoyingly intermittent electrical fault in the charging. when i go to start in a morning my battery light doesnt come on when ignition on 2nd turn so it aint charging, but it starts workin again when i go to it later on in day. i have cleaned all my earths up an...

i noticed a guy on RS with a 197 posting details of a battery change he had done... hes fitted a "red top" racing battery in his 197 an looks like hes saved a load of weight in doing so... so it got me wondering...i havent heard of this being done before and wondered what if any the negative...

My beloved Mini needs a new home. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... &rd=1&rd=1

Next car looks likely to be a Clio Trophy, so this needs to be sold: 1700cc tuned crossflow ~ 135bhp. A very strong and capable engine, the key benefit to having a crossflow is the fabulous sound it makes. It pops and bangs on the over-run, the carbs "spit" at you, and the noise under...

My car has finally returned from the repair shop. It's going back to say the least. Can anyone tell me if there should be a cover between the front grill and the alternator to stop all the spray etc going through and eventually damaging it. Perhaps someone could have a quick look through the...

Can anyone help with this? While driving (ie. doesn't happen when stationary) when I go above 3000rpm the red STOP and battery lights flash on and off seemingly randomly. Sometimes they stay on for a little bit, but usually go out again when the revs drop. I feel no other probs, the car feels...
