The steering wheel in my Trophy has begun to melt and I'm considering my options. I'd prefer to stick with a Renault wheel so that I can retain the cruise control functionality so re-covering is one option, but at the same time I'd prefer a smaller wheel. I'm aware that the 197/200 wheel...

Chris, you have pm Hoz.

Cheers Steve, I'll just book it in then. Hoz.

At the cars last service an advisary note on the receipt stated that the aircon gas was low and could do with being re-charged. Around a month ago, when it started getting hotter, I noticed the aircon performance was really poor so I decided to get it re-charged. I took it to Kwik Fit to have...

I don't find the seat particularly uncomfortable, and they certainly look nice, but they definitely don't 'hug' you as well you'd expect. The seats in many other cars give much better lateral and thigh support. I definitely think harnesses will improve the lateral support by keeping your back...

I'd go for the scorpion decat. It's half the price: http://www.rs192.co.uk/page1.htm Hoz

Hi Ajr, I'd be interested in a single trophy wheel if possible. Cheers, Hoz.

Yeah, seats and runners would need removed. Runners are removed by removing the nuts from underneath the car I believe. Hoz.

The seat should slide forwards when you pull up the handle of either side of the seat. The cable on mine is attached to the seat on the handbrake side. It runs down, under the seat, and then across to the door side where it attaches to the subframe. When you look at the back of the seat you...

You could be right. I was thinking there was scope to lower it slightly on a new frame, to offset the reduction in seat height. However, to keep the same proportions between clip and seat base only a limited reduction is possible. There is a solution though; just do away with the whole...

Why not? Cheers, Hoz

I've never been happy with the seating position due to the height the Recaros are mounted at so I took the passenger seat out at the weekend to see if anything could be done to lower it. It appears that the seat height could be lowered by a couple of inches by swapping the mounting frames for...

I had one of these leads before upgrading to a kit that allows me to retain some of the functionality of my steering controls. You can get them off ebay for next to nothing these days. You do need to take the head unit out to plug in the lead but it's not hard, it'll take less than 5 minutes...

Cheers for the reply... Hoz.

Does anybody know how much Brake Fluid is required for a complete drain and re-fill of the system? I've had a quick search but I can't find any topic that cover this. Thanks, Hoz

Same thing happend to me. 3000 miles after a service my car has failed it's MOT on excessivly corroded front discs (inside surface area). I wasn't advised on the condition of the discs after the service. I was, however, advised that my rear pads had a 1/4 of their life left whereas the fronts...

Hi CS_Fan, The main reasons I bought a Trophy were that I was in the market for a new car and I liked the handling and the exclusivity. I used to have a 172 as a company car, which I really liked, but I'decided that I'd never buy one out of my own money because of the residuals. I thought with...

I've got one in Warrington but I've seen a couple of others knocking about. I used to bump into one from time to time and we'd give each others the thumbs up, but I haven't seen it for ages now. Someone traded in a Mk1 V6 for one at Arnold Clark's; not sure if that's the one I used to see...

The same thing happend to one of my cars around 7 years ago. Obviously the best course of action will be a new cylinder head but helicoiling is a permanent fix. They basically drill out the damaged threads and tap a helicoil in which has threads on the inside to take the spark-plug. Anyone...

Hi Tommobot, You'll never manage to remove swirls from the paintwork using a clay bar; a polish will be required. It's hard work removing swirls by hand though. Having your car machine polished is your best bet. Hoz.

Doesn't look like this group buy's going too well, but if you manage to get the other 8 I'll take one. Hoz. 1. Mark989 2. Hozcat 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Mine's gone this week as well. I've got the reverse problem where the boot won't open... Hoz.

Based on the last budget; tax on any clio 182 will go up to £260 from 1st April next year and then £270 the following year. Hopefully, there'll be an announcement over the next few days which means it won't be going up as high. Couple of useful links...

BUMP - still for sale if anybody's interested

Sound quality is good, no 'buzzing'. I usually have the volume on the ipod set at around 3/4 of maximum and then use the volume on the stereo if I want it any louder. Obviously if you crank the volume right up distortion does occur but I think this is more down to the standard speakers rather...

Same as the one shown in the link below: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Renault-CLIO-MEGANE-SCENIC-MODUS-MP3-connector-IPOD_W0QQitemZ280219302999QQcmdZViewItem Includes fitting instructions Selling due to upgrade to connects2 kit £8 inc p&p

Neither. PE2 size on the Trophy is 205/45 R 16 83V. Hoz.

I run a Williams as well as the Trophy

I've got no intentions of getting an R26, I was just bored and passing the garage so I popped in and asked for a test-drive. I would always look to sell privately before approaching a dealers because I benefit from owning two cars (never need to be off the road and in no hurry to sell). I...

Slightly off topic but... I was in the Renault garage at the weekend. They wanted over £13,000 and my Trophy for an R26 with some optional extras. My Trophy is a 55 plate with 23K on the clock. This means Renault value it to be worth the equivalent of 6 packets of Space Raiders and 3...
