diagnose

Hi Guys, My Trophy is not well. Had it since new with all required servicing and I was just arranging its 72k service when I noticed a new clicking sound coming from the engine. It is most obvious at more than 2500rpm, but can also be heard at idle. It changes (speeds up) based upon engine...

I can hear a "tap tap tap" coming from the engine bay of my Trophy when at idle. Also the idle is quite lumpy and uneven. The tapping is actually louder from inside the car than the outside even with the bonnet open. The taps increase with the revs up to say 1500/2000 but then I cant hear...

Hi, What does the warning light on my trophy mean... It is the one that looks like a heart monitor... it always as far as i can see is combined with the diesel heater light but I obviously don't have one of those... saying that there is water in the fuel.... is it ok to drive or should get it...

Ok today I bought 10£ of petrol, then on the way home all my warning lights flashed on this resulted on my petrol light staying on and no petrol being read by my trip computer !! This has happened a few times now, sometimes my engine actually cuts out when the warning lights come on ?? This is...

Hey guys, just want to pick your brains? I'm looking to buy a OBD reader and I just wondered if anyone could tell me which model number I should buy? I've seen the one that K-tec sells but I've noticed what looks like the same one cheaper on ebay, but I'd just like to confirm if I'm ordering the...

I thought i'd give this a whirl on here rather than Cliosport, seeing as i know i'll be bombardered by answers like "Its your Tdc sensor" Now i'm not saying it isn't that, but i'm looking for someone to answer who has been through the exact same problem :wink: Turn on ign, everything lights...

Got into my car excited about heading to Bedford this evening and as I drove down my road, my excitement died.. The Exhaust emissions light was on and unlike before, it was static, not flashing.. Restarting the car did not clear it so I left it on the driveway and I shall be borrowing my fair...

My exhaust has recently started to sound really loud. It's standard but it’s turned quite boomy on the move and when stationary it resonates into the boot and is starting to get annoying. It is due a service however I'm thinking the cat has gone? The engine is lumpy all of the time more than...

Just ordered a Clip tool for the renaults, should enable me to disable the airbags completely without messing about with resistors :) It's the proper job and not one of those £30 jobs everyone's selling, according to the seller it's the full monty and works the same as the genuine renault set...

If you buy this mag, you'll soon read that Harry's T has had re-furbed front shocks. Seems the front as "corkscrewing". One had lost it's gas the other had a slight oil leak. His cars only done 16000 miles. Am guessing a lot of those were hard miles?!

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...

#167 has been into the dealer again this week to diagnose and rectify a Check Engine light. The code has been cleared and re-tested a couple of times and came back with "destructive misfire on cylinder 3" on both occasions. The light seemed to be coming on in stop-start traffic or low speed...

hi, been driving around today in the trophy and can hear a whistling sound when i start to accelerate enybody have this sound. otherwise it sounds like a induction leak to me? thanks

My passenger seat has been doing a bit of rattling which can be quite irritating. I've had a look underneath to try and diagnose the problem and it seems that on one side where the rails join it is a bit lose i.e. there is a small bit of play between the rail attached to the seat and the rail...

Just left my car with a renault service centre - oil and stop lights have been coming on intermittently. Oil isn't low, and I have never let it get low. They have said that they need the car maybe for up to a day to properly diagnose, and said it could potentially be a big problem and I...

Hey Guys, I know it's a long shot trying to diagnose a problem with my 182 over the net without seeing or hearing a car, but some of you guys are very clued up & thought you may be able to help me. I have a funny feeling I have a engine or possible gearbox mount gone or on the way out...

Got the Trophy back on the road again! Massive thanks to Mike at Rentech for sorting this out for me giving up some of his evenings to get the car sorted. Yet again, fantastic customer service from Rentech and going further than they had to to get my car done. He even had it cleaned for me.

my car has developed a misfire on cylinder 1 (nearest the oil filler cap) most likely due to having to drive through a massive puddle on sunday evening. I have already tried swapping spark plugs, and the same cylinder still misfires so i have narrowed it down to either the coil or the leads...

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...

The car would not start this morning had to be towed in by AA to the local Renault dealers so the fun begins .

In for a service apparently. Mine was in too, for some 'bits and bobs', namely sorting out a rattly boot catch and fixing the passenger seat which wasn't sliding when I tipped it to get into back. AKS Renault seem like a nice bunch; very polite and friendly.

My Janspeed which was fitted by Rentech about 3 weeks ago has developed a rattle. It started yesterday and sounds like metal tapping on metal. It happens at all speeds over 10 mph or so but is intermittent. Hard cornering in both directions evokes the rattle further. I took it in to Kwik Fit...

what could this be ? http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=176439

.First i'll do a spot; if anyone saw a broken trophy being dragged along the A34 by a AA van this morning, That was me. I know it was me because i was the grumpy one sitting in the passenger seat of the van. I don't think anybody has mentioned this problem on the forum, basically not long after...

ANY one else found this, say when in 2nd gear high revs steady and cornering, vibrations, very clear to the ear...think i heard something about heat shields rubbing is this true>>???

:shock: :shock: left a roundabout at full gas in second going up a small twisting hill road in my town when i went to let off approaching a bend the throttle stayed stuck to the floor as i pushed the clutch the car was revving to the limiter like a mother fucker had to quickly turn the engine...

I was wondering what the bhp per tonne is on a trophy?
