Renault Sport Clio 182 Trophy well maintained reluctant sale (company car and girlfriend says I cannot have 3 cars) £4500 Loads of history and hundreds spent but still standard (part from cat back miltec exhaust) MOT 14/05/14 needed new CAT to pass this year TAX 30/11/13 Full Service carried...

Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone knows anything about the problems I'm having with my T atm Filled up full yesterday and drove 110 miles motorway no stopping and a constant 56mph the whole way and some how managed to get through half a tank ! Also it feels to be lacking power and engine...

Hi all I had a quick search but couldn't find what I was looking for, so excuse the new thread. Is there a recommended set of milestones for services (minor and major)? My Trophy is sitting at just under 41,000 and the previous owner advised me to get her serviced next at around 45k...

OK, so last night i got the Geo done by a mates garage. Yes, they are a bodyshop, but when you are the authorised repairer for Lotus, Aston, Ferrari, Lamborghini & Pagani, you probably know how to set up a clio lol ... So, effectively, since we fitted the front suspension, the Toe has been out...

Hi all, Have had 2 services since I owned the T on 24k and 35k using 5W40 Elf oil. After having the last oil change the car has now covered 37k and is already low on oil. Not sure if it has been topped up fully but imagine it would have been. Car is used 5 days a week for 60 mile commute...

driving home today the exhaust monitor warning light comes on when I get stuck in traffic. This goes of when moving. The handbook says go to renault soon as. Anyone else had this, if so does the t need a new exhaust. simon.

What would you lot prefer to have a Clio trophy or Clio 200???? jsthomson

Hi, I'm the new owner of Trophy No.243 T9PHY which I collected today after some fraught negotaiting with Renault dealer who had it. I know it was owned by a member on here who I contacted before buying it, and I thank him for his information. It's my new daily runner to replace my late spec...

A perfectly competitive market is one where there are many buyers and sellers. Information between buyers and seller is distributed symmetrically and products are homogenous. Barriers to entry and exit do not exist and the consumer is king. A perfectly competitive market is a politician’s...

Took the Opportunity to take #428 to the Elan Valley and the Aberystwyth Mountain Road and down to Devils Bridge last week.....the Trophy has now covered 1500 miles since i bought it at the start of the month! I am so happy i made the decision to change from the R27, yes i do miss some of the...

Sorry for yet another mpg thread, but i find it quite an interesting subject! I filled up after work on thursday(shell 95 as was only option), drove home, average was 46mpg by the time i'd got back. Still hovering around 43mpg after work the next day. Drove up to central london at 8pm, still at...

Hi folks Have you booked up for the club stand at French Car Show 2009 yet? if not it’s eight weeks to go till 14th June ! This is our biggest event of the year!!!!!! THIS EVENT IS RUN FOR FRENCH CARS AND FOR YOU ! Big changes and additions this year including; * New layout – clubs/trade &...

Hi everyone, I'm a 23yr old Belgian guy, I've always adored the Trophy since I first read about it in Evo. Some things kept me from buying though, as a student my budget is quite limited (low GBP came to the rescue), the fact that it'll be RHD (prepared to live with that) but most of all... I'm...

Up for sale is my 172 The car is on 49,500 miles, it has had all work carried out that needs to be done at this mileage, i.e. all belts have been changed. It's had 3 keepers from new; it has tax till March, and now has 12 months MOT I am a member of the Clio sport owners club and this car has...

Hey Gang, I've asked on CS & thought I'd ask on here for peace of mind tbh. Right the issue I have is my car has only covered just over 17,000 miles & all seems well, pulls as normal, idles the same as before, but I noticed as I pushed the car further up the rev range & as it came on cam there...

So many different reasons i'm guessing! I bought mine as a daily driver to replace a boring VAG TDi barge. I have always loved french hatches, the handling balance and the way they handle bumpy roads is unrivalled by jap crap and german barges. Trophy specific, i always have to have good...

=D> 410 miles on a tank, 40.8mpg.... just filled up with v-power and will be giving #274 a good clean this w/e as a reward for breaking the 400 mile per tank magical milestone. A few probably do this, but as they've mainly been town miles not motorway miles I think it's an achievement...... 8)

Has anyone used these on there trophy? Did it mark the paint or spoiler? I have not used one for years. Last time I took my bikes on hols I hired an estate car.

By Rex, This is a piece I'm about to submit to Auto-Journals: Three RenaultSport cars in eight months: whilst that statistic may appear to be the symptom of a depreciation junkie, in truth it is my car history since September 2007. Ownership of my first Renault Sport, an Arctic Blue...

Might sell if the price is right. Would accept £11,200. Current mods and pics: http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=49193 ICE build in progress, should be finished soon: http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=48239 Me and one previous owner since...

Ok this is quite interesting (i think anyway) So what is my dream next car? And what's yours? I'm not talking supercars, but in the real world what are you thinking of getting next.

Changing from my 172 to a trophy and was wondering how many of you have owned renaultsports before your trophy?

My car is now back from Ben, who fitted cams, modifed inlet and a re-map. His only concern was that as the car has only done 4,000 miles, all on the ex-factory full synhthetic oil, that the rings may still not be fully bedded in - wants me to use ordinary mineral for a while - and so installed a...

Yes, as I'm sure you know, I spent last Thursday - Monday in France with just me, my truly wonderful girlfriend, and the Clio. Oh, and lots of French people. Here is my trip in pictures: Folkestone Lil' Clio at the Folkestone side of the Eurotunnel: Loads of nice cars were about, as...

I say Alpina Roadster 3.4 Lux, you say.....??? :) Just wondering people's thoughts of a Z4 Alpina. I have recently come to research a bit about them and they seem like a fantastic car. However I am aware some people wouldn't be seen dead in one... is that the case here too? Two...

Got the car on Saturday - filled her on empty to full on Optimax (£44!!) Ive done nearly 200 miles and its nearly on empty :'( £44 in my old golf diesel woulda got me just over 400 miles!!!

After much debate over what car to get I finally decided on the golf. Picked it up last Wednesday and loving it so far. The power is awesome and the noise is special. Trophy was a close second but the golf managed to win :) Little sunlight to show any cleaning done but for those...

when are these cars supposed to be out?? I saw a black one this morning whilst walking into work. It had either a demo plate or a foreign plate on it, couldn't really tell. Looked nice, fairly aggressive but a bit too futuristic for my liking...very Astra VXR sort of look to it. Had 2 huge...

I have been thinking about chucking the trophy in for something more fun, getting a bit bored. Im mainly looking at the bargain monaro vxr's that have just come on the market maybe even a 500 version but im a bit worried i may wish i hadnt bothered. Want something with a bit more grunt and a...

Sorry people, felt the need to post this as due to a 'cover up' by the Super Moderators (aka Laughter Police?) most of you will probably never know the amusement you missed out on this morning. Seems that one of the moderators had a little too much to drink last night and made a LOT of posts...
