    Whistling/purring noise from engine

    I had a noise in the same area and it turned out to be the power steering pump but that had more of a whistling noise and not as noisy. It could be the dephaser because ive heard they make alot of noise when on the way out. As to how the dephaser sounds I have no idea because ive not heard 1...

    182 Trophy Cat B on copart

    It's a massive shame to see another 1 off the road permanently. The damage is easily fixed but it's the cost of the repair and availability of new parts which probably hindered its chances.

    Maybe some decent parts for someone when it's broken for spares

    Original Trophy Spec Springs from Grams.

    It will be a while before they are ever fitted because the ones on my cars are still in good condition but as I've learned, sometimes its best to buy stuff when it's available because alot of parts are slowly getting harder to source.

    Hopefully good news to Classic Renault owners

    After spending abit of time looking around the Renault originals site I'm slightly concerned that the timeline shows a couple of clios like the Williams and v6 clio but no mention of any Renault Sport clios or the Trophy considering its constantly voted as 1 of, if not the best hot hatch cars...

    If at the end you dont manage to sell all 50 calendars I will happily buy another 1. I'm sure they will all go very soon but I thought I would be cheeky and put my hat in the ring if any spares are left over 🤠

    At the moment I'm having trouble with my delivery from Amazon. Its due before 8pm tonight (18 minutes from now) and its not looking good. Might have to order another 1 from a different seller but I will happily upload a video and some pictures if it works

    Winter Project.

    I have invested (amazon delivery pending) in a soda blaster gun (sodium bicarbonate aka baking soda/ bicarbonate of soda) I've done a bit of research and sand blasting and similar forms damage the surface slightly and pit it but soda is delicate and none damaging. I'm not sure if it will manage...

    Winter Project.

    Did you manage to get the dampers refurbished? Mine are in a sorry state and look exactly like these. I spoke to BG Motorsport sport who were very helpful over the phone but the 1 thing that concerned me was when they said that if there were any rust holes on the spring platform they would send...

    Recaro Trendline retrimming or repair advice

    Has anybody had any work done to their drivers seat base side bolster? It seems to be a common problem on the trendline seat and I was wondering can you still buy the seat cover from Renault and change it or is it easy to repair? If so how much did it cost to pay for a professional repair and is...

    Both top mount kits turned up today from autodoc including the new spacer nut. Renault want £21.82 just for the nut and the SNR kit cost £15.64 with the nut. It's taken 7 days but I'm happy

    Trophy for sale on Autotrader

    I've owned my trophy for over a year now and it feels weird looking at auto trader again to find the trophy you mentioned. Got caught up looking at all renault clio 2.0L as a search. Found a clio William's for almost 10 grand sadly cat D. The next one was 35 grand so a big saving

    Sachs Damper Protection

    It looks like your going to have to cut off that bottom edge on the rubber boot to allow the next step to sit over the top of the black plastic base on the shock absorber. Is the rubber boot none genuine? I've done hundreds of shock absorbers for all kinds of cars and they sometimes don't fit...

    Hella Headlights

    That was the removal instruction for taking your motor out of the old headlight. I should also say to make sure the motor is fully extended using the dial inside the car. It will make it easier to unhook it off the slider. I think you might need to set the dial to zero (fully extended) before...
