pedal

Hi, Thought I'd sign up here to get some info from Trophy owners before I test drive some. I currently own a Peugeot 106 Rallye 1.3 which I really like and recently thought I would never sell as it does almost everything that I want in a car(no I dont want comfort!)-steering feel, chassis...

i'm buying my 3yr old a new bike - i'm thinking it needs a pedal back brake (for safety as they've never ridden before). anyone got experience in kids bikes? Pneumatic tyres for me are a must also....

My rear pads need replacing very soon i've used the search facility and found lots of posts regarding brakes etc. Now i know the brakes at the rear only take about 20%, so i was going to go for either the standard renault OEM pads or the Ferodo DS2500's which i think quite a few people are...

not had my trophy that long, today getting in my car i started it up and the engine started reving the nakers off on its own so i knocked it off and tryed again and it did it again. i dipped the clutch and it was still reving itself but i put it into gear and pulled off its was still reving...

I appreciate that this is a Trophy board and most of you guys got that funky Sachs stuff going on. Just bought a 172 last week and loving it, apart from the mech gremlins. Gearbox 2nd gear synchro issue, t/belts etc Anyway..... Under hard acceleration, say from 2nd to 3rd, i hear something...

The car's just been to Birchdown for its cambelt service (excellent guys, highly recommended) While it was there I asked them to look at a dash light I have which is the SERV light and the wet road icon (I assume to do with ESC and ABS). After reading up on here I suggested it could be the...

I know what you're all going to say!!!! lol I bought a set of EBC yes I know EBC! drilled and grooved front discs and RedStuff pads for the T, I was going to buy brembo's but the EBC we're just so cheap off a friend that runs a car parts shop. The braking on them isn't too bad and I would say...

Hey 8) I had my first track day on Monday and loved it! :D :D I was terrified at first but soon settled in after a couple of laps. BRAKES: When I first went out I managed 4 laps and had to pull into the pits as I was experiencing a little brake fade and wanted to check tyre pressures...

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...

Hey... Has anyone been having issues with their cruise control... Its not just one senario. If I try to reduce speed by pressing minus buttion it cuts it off. If im having to break and then want to resume the criuse speed it is not working (it freezes) . The only way to sort it is to turn the...

Hi everyone, Does anyone find the brake and clutch pedals slippery wet damp or wet, being made from ali? I found this a problem in my 172 and still do in the Trophy. A couple of times my foot has slipped off the clutch all together when very wet, thankfully without harm. On my previous 172 I...

Hi all, When driving my clio 182 recently iv noticed that the clutch has become very rough to push down. Not smoove at all. I thought nothing of it at first but its been going on for a little while so i thought id check out what the problem was. I had someone sit in the car and push the clutch...

Hi all, Can't quite believe i am doing this, but 007 and i will very very sadly have to part company. Reason being that the Mrs and i are saving for a new house, she has sold her Mini and is saving like mad and truth be told me keeping a 2.0 hot hatch isn't going down all that well. I also have...

Fitted the top mounts, camber bolts and strut brace today - geo check tomorrow, had a drive feels pretty good but who can tell on the road, track day on the 24th so that will be a good test. Thinking that the shocks might need a refurb now though, as one had a faint sign of oil mist on the base...

Hey guys, spotted a Trophy on PH for a good price that is near me and was curious what sort of MPG people are getting from theirs. I'll never get near a motorway so A & B road figures would be grand, cheers guys.

Been looking around for a cheap decent condition 172/182 Cup lately and this seems the best I can find so far - http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1405221.htm Just wondering what you guys think of the price/spec etc as i've never owned a clio before myself. It has had the belts changed recently and...

Anyone know the best place to get either of these, forgetting Reno as they probably want silly$$$ for them. Having the damned brake switch issue that makes the ESP light and SERV lights come on and consequently knock the Cruise off, and my garage have diagnosed that it is the brake switch, so...

Hey all, So I actually managed to drive a trophy at the weekend, my first time. It was a little disappointing but I have to say I don't think it was the best maintained example so that may be the reason for it. The seats were fabulous (if the driving position a little upright),the steering...

I recently fitted Brembo Max fronts adn standard rears with red stuff all round,(awaits the slating of red stuff, lol). For the first 300miles or so they were fine with easy breaking. After that i decided i would try giving them some hard breaking just to see how good they were. They were...

I'm going to order a new set of discs tonight for the front! Going to go with ebc drilled and grooved + red stuff pads. I was going to go down the standard disc road but changed my mind! :D I just want to confirm before i go ahead and order, what size the front discs are? I can't remember if...

I've been looking in the garage pages of the forum under modifications and I've noticed that quite a few owners have removed the acoustic valve. What does it do? What is the advantage of removing it? and where is it? I've had my trophy for a while now but only recently fitted a K&N panel...

As per subject, I'm interested in any standard steering wheel that is no longer being used due to it being burst, rough, falling apart etc as I've had a quote to get a steering wheel recovered to my specification by http://www.gibsontrimming.com/ and would rather have a spare wheel to do this to...

Hey, was wanting to use my cruise control today but it didnt work, the green clock comes up on the dash when i switch it on but it wont let me set the speed, any ideas? thanks phillip

Morning all, 007 had a service yesterday and surely enough, the diagnostics showed that the SERV and ESP lights coming on were due to a faulty brake pedal sensor, to my relief after people talking of steering racks etc. It also knocked out the cruise as well so that is two problems sorted...

any one got one? i heard theres one kicking around the durham area?

I know this topic has been touched upon many times...Just want a quick opinion. Looking to replace my front discs with Brembo HC and greenstuff pads. I use the car for road use only. Is anyone using this set up...any advice and/or opinions please?

Hi All, I've fitted a new aftermarket steering wheel and while I have managed to turn the airbag light off using a couple of resistors. However, I now have the ESP and Traction Control Indicator Light / Service Light coming on. It only comes on when the car is driven and the light will only go...

Just come back from Jam Sport after having had one of there 4 pot kits fitted and all I can say is its the only one that's fitted properly as I've tired both the Godspeed and GDi one before and had to use spacers. There not even bed in yet and the brakes are so much better with an excellent...

Bit of a random one this, but I fancied having a moan about the appalling quality of a lot of the driving on our roads. Sometimes it's so bad it actually scares me. I think my biggest pet hate, or one of them at least, is people who randomly brake for no reason. Not necessarily heavy braking...

Hi folks, Can anybody shed any light on this please because renault dont seem to be able to. 9/10 when i get on the motorway the SERV and ESP light come on at the same time. Never when on A or B roads just the motorway. Anybody had this problem and how did you get it sorted.
