spring

Hey guys, The Sachs are coming off '380' later as they're booked in with Ben on the 8th. I've noticed a lot of people saying that they've had the struts un-pinned to allow adjustment to the damping. I've had a quote of £25.00 each + vat, is it worth me getting this done while they're away?

Cleaning my Dampers the other day I notice the spring are made by eibach. Does anyone know what poundage they are, front and back? Nathan

Hi everyone, Need some help with trying to tell if a pair of dampers I have got are correct. I got them off a guy from cliosport, who said they were 182 cup dampers. They have the correct 60mm spacing but when I try and fit them on my Trophy (while I get my sachs refurbed) they are really long...

Hi guys, Am in the process of removing my dampers and I cant get the top nut to budge at all. Sprayed it with WD40 but still no luck. If I was to put the jack under the disc with the car on axle stands would this take some of the pressure off the nut making it easier to undo? Or should I...

Hi everyone, i have recently been getting a squeeking sound from what i think is the passenger top mount / all the way down to the wheel ( i cannot pin point where the noise is). It happens when its dry as when its raining the noise goes away so all i can presume is that something needs...

I believe you can get a (?) mechanical Quaiffe diff fitted to a 182...? Around £1000 fitted. Meant to be a very useful mod. Has anyone got any experience/knowledge?

Fitted the dampers this afternoon and wondering if i'm being paranoid, the front springs look like the bottom 2/3 coils are touching when the car is on the floor. Is this normal or have I fitted incorrectly?!

Ive just has new spring put on my trophy as one of the front has gone, I was wondering if anyone wanted one front (left) and the two back?? Please PM

hey ok so i have a question, the trophy has great handling no? that was the point. so why is the 'logo' picture in the top corner got a whole load of body role would another pic not be more appropriate ? tell me to shut up if im wrong, it just seems a bit odd thats all. only food for thought...

Anyone have them on their Trophies? I'm tempted to get some rear ARB's. Hopefully going to go with the Mark Fish sus set up at the end of the summer also. If anyone has that total combination would be good to hear your thoughts.

Sadly, due to personal circumstance No 435 is now for sale. It has done 38 200 miles and is in lovely condition, with 5 months MOT and 6 months road tax. Good bits: full service history, with auxiliary belt done at 32 000 front dampers refurbed and professionally unpinned 2000 miles ago...

Hi, Does anyone know the rear spring part number???? I am being told that it is 8200342862 but need this confirmed. I do have two squares on the spring one 'White' and one 'Red'. I am having to get the parts from France and they are non-returnable even if they are incorrect... which...

Hey. Im in the process of building a substantial workshop and thought I would post a progress thread on here now I have actually got to a stage where the buildings is nearly ready to be built. I’ll give you all a bit of background as to how it all came about… Around 15 years ago my parents...

I have just taken my Trophy into renault and got told my front shock drivers side has gone, now is it best to get a replacement from them or buy some new shocks? The replacement wil cost just under £1500. :(

Hey, Does anyone know where the cheapest place to get rear suspension for trophy part number 8200 519 954. I am finding it difficult to find someone that stocks them. jsthomson

I have my dampers booked in for a refurb on Tuesday as the passenger side is very soft and bouncy. So today I took the dampers off ready to clean and send to BG motorosport. Once I got the passenger one off I discovered the following... ... looks as if the spring is fubar! You can't...

I've snaped my nearside front spring. :( Does anyone have an original one, with the correct number on it: 8200514730 I doubt the sides are different, but just in case they are then it is the nearside one I need. Thanks Calum

I've just suffered a broken front spring and have decided to send both front Sachs dampers down to BG Motorsport at Silverstone for a rebuild while they are off. BG Motorsport are Eibach dealers so it would be useful if I could provide the Eibach Part No. to them rather than the Renault No...

**Edit** - Sorted. Ta.

Hi, I need new dampers on my trophy and was thinking to replace them with coil overs. I have had a look at k tec and there are a few different ones. Can anyone advise which is best replacement to sachs. I wont the car to feel same or better if possible. Ive been reading about all the problems...

hey peeps... was washin the motor the other day and noticed the gap between the tyre and arch are different with the drivers side lower by 1 inch.... any adeas wat it could mean...thers no difference in the cars handlin.

Hi all, My car has felt a little "different" lately especially on the front passenger side. Doesn't seem to handle as confidently as it did and the front seems a little "bouncy". I can push the passenger side down and get it to bounce quite easily whereas the driver's side is solid and will...

Simply pleasures...aaaaah :D

I have a mint set of these for sale which I have just taken off of my car. These have done very few miles and I have the orignal bill of sale and box. These cost £360 and I want £250 for them + P&P or collected from Berkshire. No offers thanks as these are a bargain. :)

Hi guys, 1st post so go easy. Im currently in the middle of stripping my supercharged fiesta st to fund a trophy and to pay my loan off. If i can ask for some advise from you guys that would be great. Mainly in terms of what i should be looking for, i.e, comman problems etc etc. Many thanks...

Am wanting to spend a day on 007 in the next few weeks, a kind of 'spring clean' that i put all of my car through in Feb/March, especially now the roads seem a bit tidier after all the kacky weather. I valeted professionally for 6 years, but that was about 5 years ago now so i am a bit out of...

Another successful Cumbria meet organized by myself :roll: , only 3 and a bit turned up which is a shame because the roads are fantastic. It was still an Epic drive and the 3 Clio’s made for a good photo shoot, Red, Yellow and blue look really nice together...

Hi, My top mounts are creaking and I thought I'd have a go at replacing them (with Renault ones) myself. I've bought two top mount kits from Renault and am now after instructions/guidance on how to replace them. I searched on here and other Clio forums for details but couldn't find anything...

I know a few of you are into it on here, I was wondering if any one can suggest any decent routes around the Lakes. I've been to Ambleside for a walking holiday but never MTB up there... Any thoughts!? Cheers!

I bought these last year from 480bhp but after lots of you can, you cant use them with rule changes for the sprint class I will be in they are up for sale. These are around £360 now and are THE best top mounts. I want £200 for them.
