    Dealer curbed my alloy today!

    Had my car booked in today to my local dealers 'Masters of Beckenham' for an oil change and to fit some Goodridge brake hoses. I received friendly service from them with all the work being carried out to my satisfaction at a very reasonable previously agreed price - they even cleaned the car...

    Clutch Judder

    I have done 3200 miles now and have noticed some clutch judder when I pull away at low revs in 1st gear. Is this normal? Should I keep revs up a bit more or should I get this checked out. I do most of my driving in London rush hour. I would be grateful for advise. :?:

    I thought it was time I tried to take the car over to France for a change! Will be heading over to Calais just after Xmas (perhaps 26th) - but just for the day. Do you guys have any suggestions what to do when arriving in Calais? Is it worth driving to Paris or should I explore other...

    Credit where it's due.

    Credit where credit is due. I have been very impressed by Renault London West. They serviced and fully valetted my car in 3 hours, gave me a coutesy car in the interim (albeit a little dirty inside) and called me promptly to advise the car was ready: all on a Saturday. I bought a demo car...

    Trophy makes you a better boxer

    Just done the first shopping trip in the little darling (full week's shop, plus beer and getting some BOGOF tins of chocs in for Christmas) and have managed to avoid injury - just. You have to develop a bobbing, ducking motion when packing and unpacking the car to avoid a sharp blow to the...

    Steering knock.

    This morning, whilst reversing out of my space where the Trophy had been parked all night, as I wound on lock I got a knock coming through the steering wheel, as though I had hit a kerb with one of my wheels. As I then straightened up and brought the steering back round to centre the knock...

    Oil again...

    What oil have Renault loaded the Trophy up with from new? Through my other posts here, I was advised not to go to a fully syn after 1000 miles as the oil would be too thin etc, and that I should keep the running in oil in there, but would Renault really tell us to leave a running in oil in...

    Teething problems ?

    A few problems with my Trophy, picked up from the dealer last Saturday: 1. Alarm is oversensitive and almost always goes off 30 seconds or so after setting with one press of the key. In the manual I've discovered that if you turn on the ignition and turn it off again immediately, this...

    Seats

    Just picked up my Trophy, would someone please explain how you operate the lumbar support on the seats? One is fully extended, the other is fully closed. I also heard that you got a CD with the manual? Is this right? If so what's on it? Mine's No 242 by the way. Thanks for any help.

    delivery mileage?

    What delivery mileage did your trophy have? What's reasonable. Going to see mine yesterday it has 17miles on the clock, which doesn't sound a lot, but you can cover a lot of ground in 17 miles...17 miles worth to be precise :/

    Trophy Delivery Delay

    I rang Renault to confirm date the car is meant to arrive. They previously told me 20 September. Now they say 29 September. What a shit!! Has any one any info on the reason it might be delayed. It seemed from this forum a few were to be arriving on or around 20th. Anything I can do to hurry it...
