dealership

hey guys, just got my car back from the dealers as needed a sensor changing. i asked for a quote on my next service (36000) and couldnt belive they wanted just over £600, does this sound a lil bit overpriced? does anyone know of a good reno specialist in the south (Sussex) area? cheers for...

hello all, ive just posted up in your for sale section so thought id better pop in here and say hi too! currently looking to sell my focus ST to release some cash, and ive got my eye on a trophy at the moment. my brother has a FF 182 cup and it impressed me with its agility and turn of...

Morning Do any of you know the typical cost for a Clio RS 182 36K service from a dealship/non dealership?? My girlfriend had to fork out £370 inc VAT for her Cupped 182. That was not including any extra over parts that needed replacing. Is this reasonable?? Your thoughts would be...

Hi Guys Just signed up to forum as looking at purchasing a trophy or civic type r . i know you will be biased but looking for some info re trophy what do i buy and why and how much to spend currently own accord type r due to having kids, but just bought misses a car so can get...

Has anyone got any info on how the warrenty works with regard to parts? Just want to know what to say if they say, they cant give me a new driveshaft because it has a non standard air freshener or something lol

Have noticed a slight creaking noise coming from the front of the car when initially moving off (either forwards or in reverse) with part lock of the steering applied. Its a very minor creak but have got #237 booked in to be inspected anyway. Anyone else had this? Any suggestions...

Hello all, a merry christmas to you! I treated myself to a little present today, well you have to treat yourself now and again I suppose and I got carried away what with the time of year and all. After looking at a number of 182's I thought sod it and went for the ultimate version. I'm...

Sorry, probably been asked before but what are the advantages of doing this and how is it done please?

I went to that MPH '07 show last night, and my other half and I were most blown away by the most unlikely of vehicles. I have to say, I didn't expect to spend the most time looking around a Fiat! This thing was awesome. It comes with a 1.4 16v 99bhp engine, and is similar in ethos to the new...

hi guys, my trophy alarm has been playing up and beeps for 30 sec after arming, took it into the sealers today and they have said the sensor for the alarm under the bonnet is broke and this is not covered under the warrenty? is this right they also said the seats are not standard, and the...

So today i received my new ITG filter and excitedly went to put it on the car to find a small oil leak while fitting. There is a slight build up sitting on top of the inlet manifold which im worried about. This is where the manifold joins the block and there are a couple of little wells for...

Does anyone know of a problem where the car seems to lack power. My car seems to lack power intermittently. At its worst it drives as if it has around 80 / 90 hp. It has no low down torque meaning it's most noticeable when pulling away or trying to overtake other traffic. It also runs a bit...

My drivers door on the Trophy is catching the bodywork and causing the paint to chip off on the door and body. I took it to my local franchised bodyshop and they said it would be covered under warranty but I would have to take it to Renault garage to get approved then past back to them. Three...

Well, it's been a day of mixed emotions and 500 odd miles in 2 very special cars. I left Brighton this morning and took a roundabout route to Cheltenham via the A272 (one of the best roads in the South of England) in the Trophy and even in the completely atrocious conditions I still had a very...

As above, another of those 'we dont know what we're selling' deals that come up every now and then... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthre ... ost2918446

Finally, after over 18 months of ownership, I have got round to doing the rear window mod..... ... by removing the nasty renault retail sticker!! :mrgreen:

Went to see Yozza this morning for some new brakes......not really tested them yet but they did a good job. 8) So when I got home I thought i'd make my dampers adjustable. Tried to remove the grub screw from the drivers side and it would not budge. Even after plenty of easing fluid and a...

If any of you have been following the crazy and embarrassing (for Renault) saga that Trophychick is going through with her car you'll be aware of the dead end that they now seem to have reached. For it to have taken a couple of weeks to fix a car is too long, their story has now reached 5 months...

Coming up for my 24K service and just wanted to know where people near me went. I live near stansted. All I seem to hear is ren-tech, ren-tech, but there is no way im going to portsmoth to service my car! well maybe lol Cheers

I've never suffered from the infamous 182 top mount knock, but a couple of days ago my Trophy started making a knocking noise when maneuvering at slow speeds. I assumed this was the knock, and thought nothing of it, but it has been getting progressively worse since then. The knock was then...

My Trophy has developed a subtle engine fault over the last couple of months. There is a distinct missfire at 2500 RPM (in neutral) and has become a little sluggish under acceleration, especially from lower revs. It sounds rough too. I have also noticed a rumble, in tick-over, from the cambelt...

Does anyone know the paint code for our Trophies? As I looking to order some paint from here http://www.paints4u.com/

Are there any reports of Trophies doing this? If so is there anything that can be done?

I take it you guys have seen the Max Power (I don't read it I was shown it :P) article on the Trophy Vs CTR?

Can anyone give me an idea of what I should be paying for the 10K service on a Trophy? I'm being quoted around the £290 - £300 mark which is more than I exptected. Do I need to get it done at a dealer to keep the warrenty folk happy?

Just got the replacement for the Trophy yesterday. 20k miles on the clock and paid £14,750 from a trader completely factory standard. I feel guilty for saying it but it's better than the Trophy in every aspect in my opinion: The clutch pedal is harder, the brake pedal is harder and has...

If you could get a job earning about three times as much for the same hours, but it involved commuting 4 hours a day and was similar to what you're doing now but not really your chosen career path, would you do it? As a hypothetical (this isn't me); Job 1: Computer Game Designer -...
