handbrake

Driving the T the other morning to work, my brakes failed and my engine started idling at 2000RPM! Turned out my exhaust manifold had managed to melt through the brake servo hose :eek:. Just when I thought my day couldn't get any worse, on the way home stopping using just my handbrake my...

2005/05 Renaultsport Clio Trophy 182. Regrettably I'm putting my Clio Trophy up for sale, I have owned the car for 6 years. The reason for the sale is that I'm emigrating to Canada at the end of November and as much as I'd love to take it with me I need the money and it just wouldn't be...

Unforunatley the time has come to sell my Trophy :( Due to having a little one on the way I now require a bigger car. I've owned it since August 2013. Its just clicked on to 81,000. Its taxed till the end of March 2014 and MOT'd until October 2014. Passed it MOT last September with 2...

Anyone else experienced handbrake issues? Possibly not the best description, but the only one I can come up with.. Mine has just become loose - doesn't grasp the rear brakes now - can be pulled up with no tension at all... Is this likely to just a brake cable issue or could the lever be...

PART 1: All these parts were taken from a stripped 48k mile 182 trophy. I have also placed a thread over on CS. I will accept paypal only (gift or YOU pay the fees) or cash on collection. I have sold loads of other parts on here and CS from the trophy already. These are the remaining bits...

Been looking at the front seats today, one of the main rattles comes off the adjustment handle at the front, but I discovered by slipping in this 6mm nylon washer (cut as shown) it completely cuts out the rattle from the handle mechanism without effecting the use. simply push the handle towards...

Hi, I am doing my first track day oct 14th at angelsey (anyone coming?) I plan on changing my brake fluid and wondered what people used and recommend?! Also,would braded lines be a worthy upgrade or are they already braded on the Trophy? I have red stuff pads at present and grooved discs that...

Just given 038 a polish and some new pics. Would come with a new MOT. If you know about these, and most here do, all the maintenance and new parts on this add up to a fortune. I'm on the fence about selling it as it owes me more, but it is a stock car, I have an R26.R I'd like to keep and how...

I have just taken my rear brakes apart and fitted new seals. They work now (they were jammed solid before) but the first time I apply the brakes the pedal goes down too far. If I pump it, the travels shortens and the brakes work normally. The pedal is solid when it gets to the end of its travel...

Just curious really. Heading towards 3 years of ownership and still trying to keep mine as standard as possible, have a bit of a fetish for replacing parts all genuine Renault! Still running original springs front and back, and have had the front dampers refurbed at BG with new Sachs rear...

Anyone going to swap their tyres next month? I'm tempted for peice of mind although i didnt have too much bother last winter. Do normal clio steelys fit the T btw?

Its time for some new rear pads. I can only presume that the ones that i have on now are the original! I think they have done well!! They are pretty much down to the metal now. I would just like to ask - Where would be the cheapest place to get both discs and pads?? I will replace the discs as...

Sadly the time has come to part company with my much loved Renaultsport Clio Trophy. It is build number 226 of the 500 that were released in the UK and has just over 54,000 miles on the clock. This will creep up as the car is in daily use It has a full service history and benefits from a very...

Ok, so i dont normally whore, but thanks to James (JMS) and Mike (FailSport) last night, the TroFail is now finished. I'm sure a few of you will have read my project thread, & i'll update that with more info than in here, but chuffed isnt the word, it drives brilliantly & looks ruddy lovely imho...

Trophy #461 No clean shots in here detailing freaks. It gets driven, & it gets driven hard. 172k miles & counting. Mud is courtesy of the field at Haynes, which was perfect for handbrake turns ;) Trophy # 433 (now owned by Luke_89) On its holidays in August...

Due to a change in financial circumstances :( I'm taking the rather hard decision to suspend my insurance policy (a huge cost for me being 20) and lay #110 up until maybe spring or early summer next year. That way I'll be saved from renewing my insurance again in June as I can potentially...

Just wondering how people have mounted the lap belts for the harnesses in your Trophy's? Its easy to simply drill a hole in the Recaro mounts (or even the floor), but id rather not do that for resale purposes ... I have OMP 4 point clip in ones (with eye bolts) if that helps. Cheers Dave

Has anyone thought about doing this to match the rest of the plastic interior?

My rear brakes keep sticking if it sat a while any ideas?

As found in the the standard 182s. :)

Copied this off of cliosport; Some of you may remember my original thread asking if I should buy a certain high mileage trophy that was used as a company car, long story short I did and got it at a good price . Finally got her up and running so I thought I would post some pictures. It's been...

Right, having just bought a Clio trophy, my beloved Williams has to be sold. It's a really tidy example, but to make it mint it needs a small ammount of work on one arch, and the drivers sill, there is also a small chip on the bonnet. Also the clutch is fairly stiff, like most Williams, and the...

...........unsure if it is my imagination but my Trophy appears to be lower on the front than the back when parked and thinking the worst about front dampers. Had recent MOT and no problems whatsoever, no leaks from the dampers and the 'gap' on both sides feel ok. Is it just my paranoya (sorry...

was wondering if you can get a few things that I need to getting it looking perfect 1) Were there any trophy car mats made, or just the regular renaultsport clio ones? 2) Can you get the transfers for the wheels, the speedline turini ones. Mine must've had a refurb and they're missing from the...

Just bought a pair of these seats and fitted them. I can't seem to get the tilt and slide forward to work properly. Is there a way of adjusting the tension so it pulls the handle up to allow for the seat to be slid forward? I am wondering if i have attached the cable to the subframe wrong. If...
