damper

=D> ....i think people are finally starting to realise trophy's are amazing cars and people can't keep selling them for peanuts!!...mine was £9k last september there is no way on earth i would let it go for under £7k especially as it took me over 8 months to source such a minter (093)

Been reading the post between everybody on seting the dampers, thinking about it my self now. Will there be any long term effect on them having them stiffer, you know how rubbish the roads are in the uk. And how about the tyres, would there be more where on them.

I recently saw a few people on here saying that, now the weather is warmer, they have adjusted their dampers to a stiffer setting. I was puzzled by this. Well, maybe sceptical is the word. I could see that it would improve the T's handling, but I thought that it would feel harsh and be a...

Hi Guys newbie here, Im going to be viewing this on saturday, can you tell me what the black strip (covering) is all about on the edges of the doors ? Ive never seen this on a trophy, please give you views on the car. http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... gLetter=05 Thanks

I bought a used Trophy recently that had been fitted with KW V2 coilovers for track use. I'm thinking of switching back to the OE sachs dampers. The sachs were taken off at around 40k miles - should I get them serviced before I re-fit them? Is there any way to tell if they need doing while...

Hi All, I'm looking for some OE sachs rear dampers for my Clio Trophy. Cash waiting. Jake

Hi sorry I have some problems understanding English, about the removal of the pin, in the posts I have found some pics and many info, it is not clear what must be removed, also some questions: - must be removed only the pin visible on the top sid of the red piece (named dial?)? - to remove the...

Hi fella's I know this has been covered many times but does anyone have any clear pictures of the thumb wheel preferably with it removed if not any close ups would be good. Also the strut top mount bearings, how much if any play should there be in them as the ones on mine look like they have...

:( Hello again. Hope you`re all well. I`m not...422 is cornering very badly now and not being a mechanic i thought i`d see what your thoughts on this problem are. (visit to garage planned for the end of the week) The problem is,the car cuts into corners much sharper than it used to do and...

Just been sent a picture from Donington on Sunday, when i get the cd i'll put some better high res pictures up.

Has anyone got a spare damper they could measure up for me, i recently bought some adjustable top mounts from powerstation, but they didn't fit, since then i've built the car back up on the standard items and set the camber and toe. Curtis at powerstation has now asked for a few dimensions so...

been a while since ive looked on this site, been over on v6clio.net a lot having changed back to the vee last august. Seems the prices havent come down that much since i sold mine, some advertised at 6495, 6950 and instead of people spamming their threads to say 'thats too expensive' they are...

Damper maintenance/refurb? Is there much that can be done or anybody can do to keep them in best condition possible. anybody had this done?

Hi everyone, Yet another couple of questions...... The Trophy I bought last Saturday still has 2 months warranty remaining (the advance one), as it was bought by the last owner as a Renault used car only 10 months ago. I'm used to French cars having problems, but as I've still got this...

Arrived Today. Cant wait to fit them and test them out. Ill fit them before the weekend. Here are some pics.

I all, I wonder if you can help I noticed today that under where my trophy had been parked over night was a pale yellow coloured liquid, I've checked all the usual suspects, oil, brake fluid, steering fluid, coolant etc and the levels are all the same as they were before, Also it only seems...

Just to make other members aware that a clio on ebay is infact a CAT D repair, it is not advertised on ebay but the garage that look after me HPI'd it to find out that It had been involved in a collision, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2005-RENAULT-CLIO ... 240%3A1318

Wow just been to Renault to find out the cost of cam belt change with the service. Any one guess how much????. #-o £1200.00 i thought my V6 clio cam belt was pricey!!!!

I know a few on here have fitted compbrake STM's and I need some advice on which order to fit each part. These are from KTR but im pretty sure there identical. See pics:

Solid top mounts are going to be fitted to my car shortly. Im going for the KTR Solid Top Mounts which look very similar to the Compbrake ones. Those of you with Compbrake top mounts fitted I want to know whether you have experienced any movement in the mounts resulting in geometry changes...

Hello chaps, I had my camber and toe set up just before christmas, went for 1.5 neg camber and I was going for around the standard 12mins toe out, as per the common concensus. After speaking to the suspension expert at Northampton Motorsport, who were doing the setup I was advised to go for toe...

:oops: Fed up of my broken trophy suspension, i'll need to get some temporary suspension to use while the sachs are up being refurbed at the front, and i'll have to shell out £200-300 for some koni or sachs rear dampers. Then i think, why not just chuck some bilstein or H&R coilovers on...

I'm going to look at an '05 with 22k on the clock in a couple of hours at a local garage, they reckon it's 24/500. I don't see it registered here so maybe not a forum user but just thought it was worth a quick check. Also, being new to this model is there anything I should be looking for? I...

Does anyone know what spring rates the Trophy uses as standard?

Advice Please!! Just had my car MOT'd today and the guy at the garage mentioned that he felt the front end a bit bouncy on the roads he took the car for a quick drive on. I said that I had noticed this recently too and asked him if he thought that there was a fault with the dampers, to which he...

Dudes, I am fuming. My Trophy went in for its third (i.e. north of £500) service a month ago at AKS Renault in Yeovil. Today it went for its first MOT at my trusted independent garage, local to work, who service my van fleet. It failed, as the rear pads are worn down to almost nothing, and...

my car needs its first mot next week so gunna ask the chap to remove the damper pins so i can start adjusting. i wont be going on any trackdays....yet but wanna know what sort of settings is best for the car like can you make them even harder and will i notice it alot or not?

Does anyone know whether 182 Cup dampers will fit a Trophy? Reason I ask is that my nearside front damper has a loose remote reservoir and has leaked oil and is therefore shot. My car has done only 31000 miles. I've only a few days left of my warranty (end of Aug, great timing!!) and will try...

I have decided to do my 24K service at Mark Fish cause he's near me and very good etc. I will be getting the front dampers unpinned at the same time,along with all the brakes as they are due for the heave ho. I am going for the Brembo Max HC discs with pagid blues and braided lines. Question...
