servicing

...what would you be driving? 172 Cup? 182 Cup? 197? 230 R26? Focus RS? DC5? DC2? Williams? 205 GTI? (Me) 230/255 V6? Elise? Golf GTI? Mini Cooper S Works? Or what are you driving instead, and why not a Trophy?

Keep seeing **55 zzd at Upminster station in Essex, is this anyone on here or do I need to notify them?! :wink:

I wanna get my 12k service done shortly even tho its only coming up to 7k. just like for it to be done early cos i dont think that the old lady that had chelsea before me had even a quick check up at 3k. but who's better in your opinion's? if called Rentech, they said £150 inc vat but he said...

Hi im after a Trophy on a 55 reg thats in immaculate condition unmarked interior, exterior and wheels. Is there any for sale? Thanks

What are the main things I should check for when viewing trophys? :)

Looking for some advice regds a problem a fellow trophy owner is having . It seems to be having problems starting and seems to be starter motor related but after the aa man wacked it a few times it still not working , its been at the dealers and they replaced the starter motor, it worked...

...what would it be, and why? No budget limits, but remember that although it will be given to you, you will have to fill it up with fuel and service it and this is your only car for the rest of your life, so if you EVER need a boot or have more than two friends, the Maccer isn't the obvious...

Hi I've been a proud owner of a Trophy for about a month or so now. I'm getting to the 12,000 mile service and was wondering if any of you kind folk knew of any specialists (non-renault) that would be capable of servicing the Trophy in the Devon/Exeter/Somerset region without invalidating the...

Hello im new to this site I'm a member on the cliosport forum I currently own a low milage mk1 clio v6, im looking to sell it pretty soon had a few offers around £11.5- 12K, ive been drawn between two cars for a while now, one is trophy, because i love clios and i get the feeling the trophy...

Has anyone else discovered this www.speedcam.co.uk/gatso2.htm Brightens up a dull wednesday :D

I am considering buying a second hand 993 as a weekend car (or perhaps as a daily driver and turning the Trophy into a weekend car). Something with around 30-50k miles on it. Has anyone had any experience owning a 993 (or the previous model) in the past? I'm interested even if you've driven...

I just spotted this on the Renaultsport forum "panel of experts" bit: Eldorado asked: 182 service Am I right in saying that my 182 clio needs servicing either every 12k miles or every 12 months? If so, why was this changed from every 24 months? Isn't a service every year a little excessive...

Well guys, Rentech has done a brilliant job servicing my Trophy. If you live anywhere near them you have to be mad not to take your pride and joy to them. They fitted the upgraded brake kit I bought from YozzaSport.......Braided hoses, grooved Brembo discs and DS2500 pads. :twisted: They also...

So I was chatting with Bernard Olivier the CEO of Renault Sport at the weekend (as one does :lol: ) and he brought up the subject of the Trophy dampers. Apart from talking about how good they are he mentioned that the one negative is the need for them to be replaced / rebuilt more often...

FCUK me, long storey but remebered that i needed to get a new tax discs as Trev the Trophy is now 1yrs old. The dosey sods at DVLA didnt send me the form, so had to find all my details. So off i go with my documents, jump on the missus moped, pull out of the road only to see a load of cops...

As some of you will know, I am in the market for a Trophy. However, I first have to sell my TT which is happening, albeit slowly! Anyway, here are a few questions to get me started: 1. Will the Trophy run adequately on regular fuel i.e. 95 RON? 2. Would you recommend using 97+ RON? If...

Ok, a hot topic which has been covered in different ways, but for those of you that have had a service or have one coming up in the not so distant future, i'm just trying to find out where you've had yours done/where you'll choose. I'm at 11000 miles so mine isnt far away. I've heard good...

Has anyone changed or thought of changing their ECU to BBR one? Are there any benefits / downsides? Have mk1 172 superchipped which makes a noticeable difference but if ever it goes in to renault it can be resset by their machine by accident.. Will the same happen with this ecu...

It was £121.23 with me providing the oil. What has everyone else paid? It has only just clocked up 10,000 miles but I have decided to get it done early. Also, how many miles have you had from the front tyres before having to replace them? Brian

I'm collecting my Trophy next week :D but i'd like to know what the service intervals are. Its on 5000miles at the mo so i'd like to be prepared for any immediate costs. BTW:- Got my cliotrophy.co.uk sticker..just need the car! :lol:

It's that time - have just passed 12k miles and it's due a service. Have booked it in with Masters of Shirley near Croydon - they reckon about 150 notes. Although I live in Brighton I'm going there because a) they're really nice people and b) I took 425 to the local Brighton dealer to get some...

Hi Guys, I need a favour from a Trophy owner! I own a 182 with cup pack and have recently bought a set of Turini's direct from speedline, the very same as the Trophy comes standard with. My problem is that i need the renault centre caps so i was wondering if one of you would be kind enough...

As I had today off work I decided to modify the air-intake system on my Trophy by removing the air-valve located near the horn to see what would happen as most after-market CAI on the market (ITG Maxogen & Viper etc) recommend removing the valve on installation. To my surprise the cars feels...

Already planning next car, won't be for a while yet. The thing with having the trophy is because it does things so well, i.e great handling, quick, pretty practical, comfortable with toys. It makes thinking about a new car pretty difficult. But I think i've narrowed it down to these 2. Your...

Sometimes when i start the trophy up the service light comes on. Then other times is doesn't. I've done 8300 miles so it shouldn't be needing a service. I know the oil is running low and i've bought the tools to change it myself but i keep putting it off. However i shall now do the change or...

Woo Hoo, 10,400 miles of fun fun fun driving. Only a few small problems, (being hit up the arse and the dodgy sensor). But all in all i love the Trophy. Will be staying for a long while. Should reach 12,000 by next week. Nice trip to France on Thursday. lol

Alright chaps , just put a deposit on a trophy tonight . Trading in my 03 wrx hope i'm making the right descision :roll: Its a number not yet registed and i'll post it up as soon as it's comfirmed that everything is ok with the insurance etc Main reasons for the change are the huge...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are there any trophys left - prereg or low mileage ones? (Have part exchange so private sale is probably out of the question)

As per the topic titled, my intermittent problem with my water/coolant temp gague have now developed into a constant issue, and now the car does not ever register the correct temp - which at least should make it easier for the technicians to identify the problem! Will get the car booked in...
