    Another misfire

    Just trying to get it sorted asap. I'll go buy all the bits from euro car parts and then have a look, see what's knackered and return what I don't need to use. A lot of people are going straight for the injector option when I've asked over cliosport. are the injectors failing that common!?!?

    Tyrres !!

    Just ordered Nankang NS-2R's for the rear of the T. I'll report back when I get them fitted but my mate absolutely swears by them. Reviews online seem to say they out perform much more expensive tyres and my friend who put me on to them says they just keep gripping. They do a track version and a...

    Weight saving....

    Serious amount of crap in there. Clio is getting some love this weekend as I got a load of new auto finesse car cleaning stuff. The front fogs also have the yellow laminex stuff on so may try remove that too. Order some new rear tyres (Nankang NS-2R have been suggested by a friend) and also get...

    Weight saving....

    Had the Clio about two months and there was a really annoying Sony Ericsson hands free box on the dash and microphone next to the interior light. Decided to finally rip it all out. Wow what a load of crap I found haha should be loads faster now hahaha also found this.... guessing it's...

    misfire?

    mine started fine, just REALLY lumpy and sounding like a scooby. it would be fine to start but then was constant. from what i read the pre cat lamba sensor is responsible for how the engine runs, usually dropping a cyclinder and corresponding injector.

    misfire?

    Just a quick update on this to close the thread and help anyone else that searches for misfire treads. The trophy started running with a constant misfire recently and threw up a orange flashing engine light. I was kind of pleased as it meant I could get my mates scanner on it. Two codes came...

    misfire?

    Well, took the Trophy out for a spin last night and she didn't miss a beat. I'm thinking it was all the torrential rain we had here on Sunday and Monday and now she's dried out. Thanks for the reply SharkyUK. If it comes back I'll update.

    misfire?

    So, I was happily heading off to see some lass when the trophy lost a bit of power, felt very lumpy and sounded like a scooby. It was like someone deployed a parachute behind me. misfire? it never threw up any lights on the dash, but it did have one when first got it. turned out to be o2 sensor...

    Air

    Huge on the VW/Audi/BMW scene. Curious if anyone's ever aired out a Trophy or failing that a 182? Im not contemplating it. Just curious. Although one day I will have a big land barge that's aired out ha

    Speakers.......

    Haha trust me, I'm not one that turns the bass up to ten. It's actually at about two along with the treble and it sounds whack. If I can get rid of the major rattles from the plastic trim I will be a happy bunny

    Speakers.......

    If I went focal all round I think would pair it with an alpine HU. I've never ever had a bad experience with alpine HU's. How do people cute the bass rattles?! I'd quite like to keep the steering wheel controls too

    Speakers.......

    people who've upgraded.... talk to me. I'm thinking Focal speakers. I love music and after only two days of ownership the speakers in the Trophy are killing me (I thought the wipers going the wrong way would be the thing that annoyed me !). I want some nice sounding equipment and the best way to...

    No 413....... Known here?

    Had pics of the service history. Seems good. Recent belts and dephaser in Dec. Guy is a keen detailed and does look well. On 97k I think. But no history of the Sachs ever being overhauled

    No 413....... Known here?

    Looking to buy a Trophy as I'm trying to save for a house so my current car is going to release some funds. Always had a soft spot for the Trophy. Had a 197cup previously and it was so much fun, and I'm figuring a trophy is pretty depreciation proof. Any one had any dealing with this car or...
