Thanks for the info Oracle. 👍 It's difficult finding these parts and the rest brakes too. I've had no reply from RPD, so I'll look into buying from your links. Thanks again

So I need some rear breaks for the Trophy. Where are people going to source these? I've tried Renault who want silly money. Seems eBay have plenty, is the beat place these days? I guess thats the place for a n/s front hub assembly that I need? Not available at Renault. I can get the flange...

so just to draw some closure on this. After much deliberating I decided to call Charlie and explain the issue I had with my exhaust. Giving credit where it was due, he couldn't have been any nicer. After discussing this and explaining some options, he was very happy for me to source a repair...

Thanks for all your replies, appreciate all of your inputs. I can't hide the fact that I am bitterly disappointed and feel let down by the workmanship. Given I noticed the leak within 12 months, and failure at 24months, I cant afford to bin the £600 I paid for it!!! So rather than drive...

looks nice and tidy under there frayz, nice and shiny. Yours is going well, not much required in after care. I did think about your Yoza but I was thinking it would be a little too loud for me. I think I will give them a chance to see what they say regards fixing the pipes back on before I...

Not quite sure of the point of this post, maybe just a sound off, get it off your chest kinda thing lol. So I was looking for an exhaust upgrade, a nice shiny stainless steel one, one that will last. Uhmm.. Done a bit of research on here, found some good reviews of one and thought, that's it...

oh yes, I would not replace just one broken Spring. In my case it would at least be both rear springs, just wondering whether to replace the fronts at the same time. thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks dablk. Yes i was aware they are cup/182 springs. in two minds as to stick or twist lol. Guess it cant be too difficult to find them S/H. Are you suggesting it will be ok just to replace the rears and not the fronts at the same time? Then new set all round, as you say would be better. The...

Thanks for your input Ant. I think fitting any of the Springs mentioned will lower the car somewhat, which I accept and wont fret too much lol. Good to hear the handling hasn't been compromised, enhanced it by the sounds of it.

Ant, thanks for your reply. interesting point you make about the balance and set up, didn't think about that point though obvious now you mention. guess that's why you don't see just rear or fronts, as they are best replaced in sets. I do remember seeing the Eibach red ones on this thread I...

apologies if I'm posting in the wrong thread lol, there's lots of technical info in here which I'm not familiar with. Anyway, I have a broken rear spring. I am looking to replace just the rear, as its best I believe to replace them in pairs. having a little look around, most replacement springs...

I have a Misfire too, problem is I have changed plugs and leads and coil pack. process of elimination I know. Problem is the coil pack has gone again. Which is really annoying as its only recently been fitted. I was told its best to replace with genuine Renault parts, I called the dealer who...

That's what I like about this forum, there's plenty of friendly and knowledgeable people willing to offer help and advice. Top stuff, really appreciate the replies. Certainly have a dilemma now in which one to go for. Ruled out the rs192. will go for one of the others

dablk and sharky, thanks for the replies, your thoughts are much appreciated. I had a look at ProSpeed and like the service they offer, i'm going to sound really stupid here, lol, do both Piper and ProSpeed exhausts come with new catalytic converters supplied? therefore my cat is no longer...

Evening guys. I didn't want to hijack Simon ' post so thought I best wait. I too have been looking to replace my exhaust, though having problems with it. The T seems to be mis-firing. Stalling easily on parking and pulling away is very juddery. Eg, 30mph in 3rd or 4th pulling away is very...

Evening Gents just looking to build up own knowledge a little here, so hoping someone can help, even though I may actually answer my own questions but seeking clarity if anyone can help. just had a big service, belts and a broken front spring had to be replaced. obviously having to have the...

thanks for the replies guys, always appreciated. some different options I wasn't aware of, I guess I just need to persevere a little more in some cases. shame Fred no longer seems available. I completely forgot about Barry Plant. thanks again

sorry to drag this up again but not having much luck finding anyone. is Fred @ BTM still going? I see website is down but no answer after many calls put in. called Birchdown and left message but no reply!! tried Mike @ Diamond but hasn't worked out for one reason or another. anyone tried...

thanks Mikeyjp. I can get hold of some, and I think fair prices at around 90-95 fitted. yes balckcircles have some, I checked those out. only problem with them is, car is in the garage on two flats. so I will remove wheels and take into garage.

Apologies upfront if this is old hat and common knowledge, but after a recent double puncture driving over what looked like a bloody garden rake, which came off a van!! I have been looking to replace my punctured PE2/PS3 with new PS3, my local but big name supplier, had to ring Michelin and was...

thanks again for the replies, cambelt change on a Saturday does seem out of the question. at least I have new possibilities I didn't know, will give the ones mentioned a call, mike in Nottingham looks good to me. cheers big dave, couldn't make Monday but Birchdown I know come highly recommended.

Thanks for the replies. both Fred and the dealer did say the water pump should be replaced, ref being ten years old so I am happy to do that. im in northants, so can travel to Birchdown and Diamond. though problem being unlikely to find replacement on a Saturday, see what I can arrange with work.

so I need to replace my cambelt, and I am just looking for an alternative from going to the main dealer. I know there are various threads on here, and I have looked at them but most of them are old, so I am seeking an update on where best to go. Having been before, I would prefer Fred at BTM...

just wanted to add my support to this thread, even though I cant actually add anymore to what's already been said, ordered mine over the phone. From order to despatch to fitting all in under 24hours. Easy fit, no problems at all. £36. Top stuff:up: Full recommend. great service guy couldn't...

thanks for the info jules, much appreciated. I think I entered the wrong details in the checking system provided I am after a pair of pagid' too, are you able to disclose where you purchased them from? thanks In advance.

I am after a pair too, Big Dave have you tried the guy on ebay? im rubbish with links but here is the item number 330700818935. these are the grooved ones. cant remember if the front disks are supposed to come with bearings? I know the rears are needed. can somebody confirm they do fit? im...

i keep the T locked away in the garage and use as when i want.whilst out in my daily run about van, i had a minor bump-no damaged to my van but a light scrape of the other cars bumper and resulting in the bumper popping out which is all going through the ins companies..to which i am gutted and...

Thanks for all the replies, i guess the answer to my problem is lack of use.I only do around 4k a year,bring the T out in the summer when the weather is nice.lol.The car is garaged when not in use so not open the the elements and i think your right hoolio,when not in use i should at least take...

Thanks for the reply hoolio much appreciated.The rust was all over the disk at one point which i will put down to a journey i had to make in the snow last winter,water,salt,grit etc i imagine will have played a part in this. you can clearly see where the pad has made contact with the disk and...

hi folks. sorry for dragging up a well discussed topic,and looking at previous posts im suffering from a common problem of rusty rear brakes. im booked for an early MOT this week and slighty concerned as to whether a visual inspection will result in a failure? The rear' are rather rusty to...
