    Help!

    Almost guaranteed battery, only time mine failed to start when battery was dead. If this is the case it happens suddenly and nothing works!!

    Mine were blue, wonder if there is any difference other than colour?!

    Refit or replace engine?

    Sad times, hope you get a positive outcome. There is no way it will cost you £4.5k to rectify, I would say £1k tops. You could get a turbo conversion for less with a decent rebuild to suit! Been a bad month for some, had all my belts and tensioners done and the alternator bracket failed almost...

    My lowered Trophy-before and after pics

    £180 seems a good deal for the 4 springs, may have to consider these if and when I get a broken spring! Quick question - do you still need the bottom coil plastic cover for the front springs like the standard ones?

    Your dash lights seem to be in different positions. Never had that light come on?!

    Rear end tidy up

    Need to do my plates as still have garage logos, anywhere recommended to get decent plain ones or ones with Trophy wording underneath? Looking smart!

    warning light on dash????

    Rule of thumb - if it's a red light do not drive, if its orange drive with caution and get it checked out asap. Mine recently had 3 red lights on the dash and heater gauge went to max - was lucky I turned her off straight away as was very close to the cam belt failing! (alternator bracket snapped)

    Rear Suspension.

    The dealers emailed me saying the dampers were not for my car and said I needed special ones! They then sent me a picture of the new damper.......... Have ordered a few bits from them before including an aux belt kit for near on £50 + postage!

    Stunned is the word! Search for the part number in google with no spaces and you will discover a very useful website. They should arrive tomorrow or Saturday if all is well :D

    Rear Suspension.

    Managed to get 2 rear Sachs dampers for £65 each posted. Brand spankers so cannot wait to get them fitted! Amazing what you can find ringing around a few dealers ;-) cid:039DC8C6-90A9-4659-B04D-9F700E35A240/IMG_0152.JPG

    Rear Suspension.

    Quick question - if anyone has replaced a rear shocker from Renault did the shock look different?

    Keep me posted as I might as well replace the rears too!

    Abandoned Trophy

    Dissappointing to hear this - 'owner' obviously doesn't give a flying toss!

    Corkscrewing...?

    Had a play with the brakes on the way home tonight and definate 'issue' and I can only assume it is from the rear. Must either be worn shocks or issue with the rear brakes. Can the rear dampers look ok but just weaken over time?

    Corkscrewing...?

    Hi, Had dampers refurbed in August 2009 at BG Motorsport so should be no issues there (I hope!!) The Trophy does seem to wander a lot I must say - very harsh on uneven road surfaces I guess. Had wheels off tonight to clean arches and no damage to any of the springs and dampers do not appear...
