warranty

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...

noticed today while changing the rear number plate that the supplying dealer originally fixed the rear number plate with screws !! i am the second owner, the dealer i bought it from put their number plates on with sticky tape this leaves 2 open holes behind the number plate which of course the...

and it has the intermittent wiper stalk!!! although the oxygen sensor has packed up and requires a new one. having one fitted under warranty on the 8th nov. first impressions very good.....i know some of you are interested in a comparison with the VX220.....when i get some time i'll post...

I've just booked the Trophy in for it's annual Permagard treatment at Canary Wharf (0207 473 0099) for the Saturday after next, I was told to bring it up any time in the morning and it will be 50% of the original price, which was £130, so £65 for another year's protection. I'm then...

I'm looking to get my service done and geometry setup sorted by Mark Fish Motorsport and i've bought some of the much hyped Silkolene Pro S for the oil change, but i'm worried this will invalidate the warranty as it's not a Renault recognised part? Apparently, they need to see receipts for all...

Hi guys, just ordered a 225 from BMNC so now someone else can enjoy the 182 Trophy! Just need something a bit bigger and grown up (don't hit me!) Details below: Located in Leicestershire. Standard spec: http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clio182trophy/ ~9300 miles Owned from new...

I was under the impression that there was only one 06 plate Trophy in the country and that was number 500/500 which was held back to 1st March and given away in a prize draw (Autocar mag i believe) I have just been informed that this is not the only 06 plater around - just wondering if anyone...

Any one know how much and were you go to get it done i live in Cambridge

Alfa 147 GTA in Nipari Grey. This car is as new at under 18k miles. Full Alfa service history she is still bedding in! The car has the factory ferrari caliper upgrade with huge 4 pot calipers and 330mm discs. (brembo) Full leather and electrics with BOSE stereo pack and sub woofer neatly...

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...

Another dozzy question that wont concern most people, but i was thinking about g40steve's (hi) comment "have you run it in yet" and having only done 3k from new i don't consider it to be properly run in. When i bought it they advised that i should change the oil at 4k-to get rid of any crap in...

As some of you have seen from my previous posts, and those who saw my car at Trax, you'll know that i have had a few problems with my drivers seat. Finally, Renault has pulled its finger out of its arse and the parts are on their database and i dropped the car off this morning to get said...

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...

Anyone got it? Its fantastic, highly recomend it.

Do any of you guys have an engine cover on your motor?

I am just coming up to my 12k service and I have been quoted £221.47 by my dealer!! I personally think thats a bit steep! Do you invalidate your warranty if you go elsewhere to get it serviced? If not then does anyone know of somewhere decent around the Salisbury area?

hello, does trophy come with breakdown cover from new? if so how long for? do you have to activate it? and if the car moves to a new owner does this apply to them??? :?: I found an AA card in my car with previous owners name on it and not sure if that's for the car or driver. I am looking...

.First i'll do a spot; if anyone saw a broken trophy being dragged along the A34 by a AA van this morning, That was me. I know it was me because i was the grumpy one sitting in the passenger seat of the van. I don't think anybody has mentioned this problem on the forum, basically not long after...

I had had all 3 Clios's 172, 182 and now a Trophy the 172 Brakes were great with good bite and no fade. the 182 was shit with no bite and fade I was hoping the Trophy Brakes would be like my old 172 but alas they are crap like the 182 with no bite and quick fade. has anyone put...

Test drove a 197 today while my Trophy was in for its 12K service. Dealer allowed me to really 'test' the car, staying away from dual carrageways in favour of a few miles of twisting country roads. Plus points for me... Cant argue with the claims of better build quality - it felt like a...

Read this Q&A on the Renault Sport site: ============================= jimbo666 asked: factory damper settings, clio trophy: hi. i wonder if you could tell me how many turns of the dial from the hardest setting down to the softest setting to put back to the factory setting. Allen Collen...

Seems i'm always banging on with probs anyone any ideas with this? From cold can pull off but there is a total lack of power tiil it warms a little, plenty of revs but wiill just not move. Has only just started, admittedly have still only done 2k (i know shame on me) Sorry no idea what...

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

ANY one else found this, say when in 2nd gear high revs steady and cornering, vibrations, very clear to the ear...think i heard something about heat shields rubbing is this true>>???

Hi everyone. I thought I'd enlist a little help from the owners of one of the greatest hot hatches ever to conduct some 'allvehicles' market research. As you mostly know I run this business myself with a view of building it up over the next few years. BUT...there are only so many Clio Trophys...

Obviously not but someone might get duped? Near bottom of list http://dealerservices.autotrader.co.uk/ ... 3&pageid=1
