What a bunch of bastards. Have just read similar on Pistonheads.

Would be good to see him do a full video but he did write this for Autocar when they came out- https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/renault/clio/first-drives/renault-clio-%2898-%29--2.0

Cheers for that. Any sellers in particular to go for? (or avoid) As it happens, the garage cleaned up and freed off my rear calipers so won't need any replacements...for now.

Any idea where has these in stock just now? The usual suspects all seem to be out of stock.

Reckon I'll be going the way of Continentals from now on if the Michelins are no longer available. Despite being Premium Contact rather than Sport Contact they seem to still be regarded as more of a performance tyre that belies the name.

Meant to say it was WBAC I tried.

Cheers for this. Just tried mine at 126k miles and it came back at £4875. Unheard of given they've not usually factored in the 'Trophy' element much before. For comparison I checked a standard 182 with the same details and it came out at £1270. Result.

Any joy with this @Ashtons99 ?

Mileage etc. would be worth mentioning rather than needing folk to go digging.

#043 - 50,007 #125 - 121,800 #138 - 77,049 #256 - 117,898 (RIP) #329 - 45,295 (OFN) #356 - 63,200 #407 - 97,515 #429 - 40,400 #430 - 48,182 (OFN) #455 - 71,888 Not nipping out to check but it's almost at the 122.

Have had a look and prices seem to vary a bit but these seem fairly cheap- https://www.carparts4less.co.uk/search/063 Notice there are a couple each of the Bosch and Exide. Can I go wrong here or am I as well going for the cheaper?

Which type do I need?

Going to be replacing mine before the winter properly sets in. Having a look online I can only really find threads from years ago. Is there a current recommended go-to battery for these? I'm imagining an offering from Bosch is a safe bet.

That's quick. Given what these have gone for on Collecting Cars recently I'd not be too hasty in dropping price. One thing seeing high advertised prices and another thing entirely seeing they're actually selling for high values in an auction.

I'm away to put new front and rear cup shocks on the car for coming into the crap weather soon. Would you specifically recommend only using cup front springs with the cup shocks and not using the trophy springs?

Ended up going with this- https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/triscan/7659429?awc=12641_1599596334_e4c0c2058ed5af45039c440d65c47f51

My car is needing the driver side rear replaced and the garage has just been on the phone saying the ones they've ordered don't fit. They've been hearing they're no longer available but are going to phone Renault in the morning. Can anyone shed any light on this and point me in the direction of...

It's a rattle...? Depress and hold clutch pedal > rattles for 2/3 seconds and stops while the pedal is down.

As you can see/hear in the video, there's a noticeable rattle that appears for a few seconds when first depressing the clutch pedal. This then stops while the clutch pedal is still down. Had the original clutch replaced 2 years ago at over 100k miles. If it was a release bearing would you not...

From another thread, another option and cheaper too-

Was thinking the same. Mine is on 119k. Not as good condition but still.

The new set I bought off ebay were originally from Jesse I was told. Just bear in mind any sets will more than likely need a seal change.

In the cases where agreed values are not in place have most people not eventually managed to get a decent payout despite initial hassle?

Do you know the part number for a new sender unit or are there quality aftermarket options?

Cheers for that. Saturday morning had another obvious clanger. Had parked up on Friday night with over 70 miles showing as the range left and in the morning it was down to no reading on the miles left but still at least an eighth on the gauge. Drove around 40 miles before filling up and it...

Not sure which number but he has posted on here.

I struggle to see a realistic scenario that's so severe as to negatively affect Trophy values. Bit more volatile when you're talking about supercars into daft 6 figure territory compared to an old school hot hatch still comfortably within 4 figures in the vast majority of cases.

Finally got a chance to take photos of exactly what I'm talking about. The fuel gauge never used to come on with the needle showing a reading as high as that, at those miles travelled and the range showing a blank.

Just think how time will affect it. Fast forward 10 years and values can only climb, especially when loads of 172/182's are off the road and such a hatch is a distant memory for most.

I just bought front and rear cup shocks from RPD. They have a sale on at the minute so it's not a lot of money.
