dash

I know a lot of people want to keep their cars standard, audio included but would still like some sort of ipod functionality without spending £100+ on a Denison etc... After much oohing and aahing I decided to take a bit of a risk and buy a cable from ebay, for £20 you get a lengthy...

I have this 6m old hi-fi sitting boxed in the garage. Since I am old enough to have had plenty of electrical equipment go to the dogs because I decided to keep it for one reason or another I am going to advertise it. Before I get around to putting it on Ebay or somewhere thought I would offer it...

We all know that Renaultsport will release a Cup version of the 197 in a years time or so, along with a hundred or so other packs and variants but will they relesase a Trophy version, perhaps at the end of it's run? If so, what would people like to see in the Trophy version? I'll start...

Hello all, I have just bought a Trophy. The previous owner didn't look after it too well and I am left giving it a bit of TLC. One problem is that the cat has a crack in it and its not covered under warranty. Renault service centre want £800 to replace it - I can't afford this and I'm taking...

Taking over from Pete G's post in the number plate thread, how does everyone use their ESP? (no responses about extra sensory perception please! :wink: ) Day to day driving, I just leave it on, you never know when you may need it's assitance (oil on the roads etc). When I'm driving hard...

I need to remove the silver trim strip on the passenger side (just above the glove box) Does anyone know how this is removed - I am reluctant to pull/lever it off in case I break the fixings!

I always have my cruise control switched to the "on" position (after all, you don't really want to be fiddling round under the dash while driving...) but find it really irritating that the dash display then defaults to the "set speed" mode. Is there any way round this or am I just going to...

Spent this morning installing my new Pioneer PEH-P55BT bluetooth head unit and CD-iB100 iPOD adaptor. This is a brand new unit from Pioneer, so new its not even listed on the UK Pioneer website yet! You can find the full spec on the European website here. I went for this as you can connect...

Hi guys, Maybe a bit of a silly question, but when I have my wipers on the first speed, everytime they wipe there's a click from the front passenger dash. Driving me mad :x Is this normal or is the intermitant wiper switch faulty?

www.cliorenaultsport197.co.uk Looks nice, but i'm sticking with the Trophy.

Does anyone know what this is? Saw it advertised in the Autotrader - huge rear arches!! Text from ad: RENAULT Clio dimma 1.8 16V, Williams Blue, genuine factory car, number 31 of 50, all bills and history from new, compomotive alloys, lowered induction kit, Clifford immob, PAS...

...OK well not quite, but... I removed the rear seats, metal bar and boot mat and wow - what a difference it made! I can finally hear the car's exhaust system - it was almost like putting on an aftermarket unit - and it cost me nothing! I also weighed all the parts - a total of 13-14...

Just interested as its a "special" anyhow... I doubt you want to change the suspension....(shocks)? Exhausts Induction Engine Ride height.... (consider Eibach springs etc) Brakes Andy GDI

I have just read over on cliosport that an adaptor is now avaliable for the trophy stereo stalk controls. Is this true? If so where from? Cheers, Nige.

Just a question? I am out and about today and i think i might have spied me a lesser spotted Stromba! I know his Mrs has a 172, anyone know what colour it is and if she has a personal number plate??? Just want to know if it could possible be him? No sign of the Williams though. Suprise surprise...

I'm picking up my Trophy tomorrow, and I'm interested to know what, if any, modifications are needed to get a good sound out of it? I'm planning on upgrading the HU to one of these: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product ... ts_id=4679 What about the speakers? Has anyone changed from the...

What do you lot think about it? I quite like it, there's a greyish one that passes me everymorning, certainly stands out. Quite like the dash too :shock: I've seen a few concept pics of the Type-R and that does look nice

Have done 1300miles in my Trophy since mid-Dec. It has improved noticeably since then, but I still find it underpowered. I would expect more from a lightweight car with 2-litre 16valve engine - it just doesn't pull like I was expecting. A test drive I had in a standard 172 two years ago seemed...

I've found a guide to removing the front grill without removing the front bumper, just need to know the best and easiest way to run a cable from the engine bay to under the drivers side dash. Can anyone help - pics would be a bonus! 7MAT

I'm now planning on keeping my Trophy long term, but find I miss some of the toys from my old M3, in particular hands-free Bluetooth phone connection and Sat Nav with TMC. I’ve been looking at different stereos systems with Sat Nav available on the market but very few are available...

:roll: Hi guys and girls this is my first post I’ve had the trophy since September and I would like to add it is one of the best cars I have driven. BUT I really need some help the think is there is a grinding noise coming from the front and the suspension sounds very noisy at...

Does anyone else have this problem? Just wondering how hard I should push for this to be resolved, especially on the Trophy where the suspension is so stiff so as to cause this type of problem. It squeeks mainly at the top of the middle section of the dash (behind the LCD/radio display)...

Does anyone know why there is a 'button' at the bottom of the footwell where the accelerator is? The only reason I can think of is to de-activate the speed limiter cruise control. Other than that... pointless?

Water Temperature Needle! Was half way through a 2 hour drive, just hit the M25 at the Dartford crossing and something on the dash gaught my attention! The water temperature needle had gone into disco mode! \:D/ Started goin absolutely nuts. Would never go above the half way point...

Hi What is the CPSi rating for the std cats in the Trophy? Are they 200? Has anyone fitted sports cats to there Trophy yet? I see that KTR and Janspeed produce sports cats. Is this a worth while mod? I fitted 100CPSi racing cats to my last car (also normally aspirated) and it made a big...
