    New Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo

    I recently read a promotion article for the new Clio 200 Turbo and was fairly disappointed tbh. The new car will apparently only have a paddle shifting gearbox and not a manual gearbox. For this very reason I am put off and my interest with staying with the clio evolution of models is somewhat...

    Dyno Power Run

    Before I had the cambelt change it felt agrressive at 5250rpm. It pulled well but over time it has seemed to wear off. I know you get used to power and that but it is noticable and doesnt seem as eager. This was done like 30000 miles ago though so cant see how it would be related to this. I have...

    Dyno Power Run

    I totally agree that the Trophy is all about handling but wanted a basline figure to see if it was running right as it hasn't felt as strong as it used to be. I don't know anyone with a stock 182 or 172 to be able to compare to see as this would help a bit more than a dyno. Read a lot about RR...

    Dyno Power Run

    Hi all, Took my car for a power run today to see where the clio was at. I know you need to take the results with a pinch of salt but would appreciate anybodys view on whether or not the car is there or there abouts where it should be given its age and milage. Right the car has done 81000...

    Wiper Mechanism Failed

    Hi all, My wiper arm gave up last week and snapped leaving me with the drivers wiper stuck in the middle of the windscreen at 40mph in very bad rain. It almost resulted in me stuffing it into the back of a Police car who ironically enough had broken down by the side of the road. Luckily I was...

    Trophy over a 182????

    No sorry mate i clicked on the wrong button and realised when it was too late, my mistake. I thought it was common knowledge as I have read on the forum in posts that the Trophy model had a slightly different mapping set up to smooth out the rpm range. The older 182's having a more...

    Trophy over a 182????

    Nice car I should imagine the r26, good power and torque and an LSD to help it. What was it like? Hopefully they will. Just make sure if you do go for a T that the dampers are in good condition as a refurb is a pain (if its a daily car) and £200-300 is not what you want to pay a couple of months...

    Trophy over a 182????

    Being a limited edition model there is a "special" feeling attached to it IMO. If you get a chance test drive both and justify it for your needs. I personally think there is a big difference in the way they handle but other people may disagree, however there are many owners and ex owners on here...

    trophy spotted

    hi, I bought Number 306 in Nov 2010 in South Wales. I took the risk of buying it without any SH and was really lucky. Did you have any major problems with it?

    Central Locking Problem

    The button is not functioning properly as it wont turn off. It gets really bad when I go over bad road surfaces (almost every road in Cardiff :lol: ) and locks and unlocks constantly for the whole journey! Starting to really irritate me now. I have booked it in for my garage to look at when I...

    Central Locking Problem

    Hi all. I have had a problem with my central locking since I bought the Trophy in November. The problem is that the central locking keeps locking and unlocking itself madly whilst driving and its become a lot worse as time has gone on. I have tried researching all over the internet what it could...
