noises

I was driving back home today and decided to take the long route along the b class roads for a bit fun... which turned out to be a nightmare as my scorpion now has a huge hole in it, just after the back box exhaust mount. Has anyone else had this problem before? Any information would be appreciated.

Would love to see this go to a decent home as I have put a lot of work and effort into it! Pics are here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mry8ldnv09epg1e/Clio%20Pictures.zip?dl=0 It is a 2006 model (06 Reg) - Personal number plate will be removed before sale. Comes with MOT until 21st March 2015...

So, don't seem to be having much luck just now. One of my rear dampers packed in. New Sachs costing £250 from Renault! Rip off but hey ho. Now another issue that has started is a creaking coming from the front suspension. Only pronounced on full lock at low speeds. Strange feeling through the...

Hi, I have been quoted £580 for all of the the above supplied and fitted. Does that sojnd about right and is there anything else needing done at the sametime? jsthomson

About 1 1/2 years ago I had my shocks reconditioned and the are fine, but recently there had been horrible noises and clunking coming from the drivers side. After much hassle finding the problem we noticed that it is the lac of lubrication on the top of the shock. Can any one help me and tell me...

Hi guys, title says it all. It's only a thought in the pipeline as I've just stumbled on what looks like a bargain at snetterton, £49 for the day, 15 may. Thing is, my car is absolutely standard, and I don't plan on modding, but I just want to see what the trophy can do in a safe environment. I...

My Brembo's and DS2500's were old and tired and I my driving means i don't need uprated items, so i went for Mintex front discs and pads, Genuine renault rear discs and Mintex pads. When i fitted the pads into the front caliper i noticed the pads were a mil too small to fit snug in the gap. Sure...

I have a humming noise coming from my car, sounding like a shot wheel bearing - humming more when turning right, indicating a left bearing. I changed both of my fronts and after picking it up from the garage this evening, it's still there, not so loud though. I jacked the car up before it went...

Well, after getting loud donging noises when maneuvering, and people on here saying the top mounts would cause it, the garage I use also confirmed this. Ktec said to use engine oil to lubricate the top mounts last week, which i did, from within the engine bay, but it made no difference. I was...

I'm a bit perplexed by this, within the last month or so, i've been getting loud twanging/donging noises when maneuvering. The other weekend i checked over the complete suspension, to make sure noting was loose. I found no faults, but i tried tightening the front damper assembly top nut inside...

Afternoon all. I would like to know what else I can look at to solve my problem. At the moment where I live ishaving a new metrolink installed so the roads are a disgrace with pot holes, tram lines and general bumps!! When I'm driving on these roads, the car just makes all kind of noises from...

IT'S VERY LONG I KNOW BUT PLEASE READ COULD BE VERY HELPFUL Eventually gave up with the fault finding for the slight lack of response and power from the trophy myself so I handed it over to a Renault sport specialist who plugged it into the laptop. The first piece of software did not show up...

I'm based in Berkshire and I want to upgrade from 2 to 3 stars so I'm after some guidance on buying a used Trophy. When you bought your used Trophy did you get a professional independent inspection carried out? If so, who did you use & would you rate their service? If not, what did you check...

Any help please!! it only stopped working today when i started my 182 up :( had a long journey to work with the windows down and running out at lights to keep windscreen de-iced lol Am guessing a fuse but not checked yet? Is there anything else i should check for? Cheers Rick :mrgreen:

Not sure if its a common problem on the Trophy as had numerous 182's before and have never had this problem. However having just recenty bought a Trophy I have found strange happenings when manouvering on or near full lock?? No horrible noises, just the steering wheel has a mind of its own and...

I'm TallAndy on the Playstation network any GT5 fans out there?

I have a powerflow catback system which was fitted mid 2009 by previous owner I believe. It is very loud IMO which I like but I've recently become aware of a rattling audible at idle and when coasting. I had a look and all I can say is that when you "pat" the left backbox there is said rattle...

Sorry guys, but I've just got a Trophy and it seems to want to cut out all the time. Also takes a tad long to start up in the morning, turns over a couple of seconds longer than I'd think normal. Even once warmed up after a long drive, put it in reverse and start to move back and it'll just...

Over the last few weeks I've noticed a noise coming from the front right of the car when I'm turning in to the left. I wouldn't describe it as a 'knock', it's more of a 'whump-whump-whump' if that makes any sense (it does in my head at least). My first instinct was a wheel bearing on it's way...

I'm sure this is probably on here guys but does anyone know if the AST top mounts fit the Sachs struts? If so do they need drilling?

I hate those poxy trumpetty things, sounds like a swarm of bees and drives me round the bend! Don't normally watch football; no wonder :-(

hi folks, does anyone have the same issue i have? basicly when the car is cold and not quite up to temperature the clutch pedal feels really good, but once the car has been run for say about half an hour or more the pedal would make squeeky noises when you push down on it and just doesnt feel as...

I've resently aquired a clio trophy No. 131 the last coupe of times i have been out as I reverse off of the drive there is a slight clonking noise a bit like a drive shaft also when cornering on bumpy roundabouts the front seems to rattle. I have spoke with K-Tec about there bolt in top mounts...

Hi, Ive been reading about air filters for clio sports on web and threads on here but not sure which is best one. I currently have a itg panel filter in standard reno box. Its good and has made slight increase in engine response. But now noise. Does anyone know which is best air filter which...

Can anyone help.... Since I had my cambelt and lower arms inc ball joints. Everything is fine apart from the nxt day when I went to work, I was reversing and I could hear this creaking noise?! only happens when reversing never moving forward!? I put it down to anti roll bar making the noise...

Dealers seem to be heavily discounting the 200 CUP... Lookers Chelmsford have a new one with 1mile on the clock in blue, reduced from £15750 to £12,995. This might be of particular interest to you Rich :wink:

Yes tread shuffle not truffle shuffle! :lol: Well my question is, is there such a thing? If so what does it mean! I ask because had the Trophy booked in yesterday as im noticing small knocking noise when moving the steering wheel ever so slightly from side to side! You can also feel it...
