So its time to refresh the front brakes as it still has the original discs on that have done 90K on two sets of pads, you might be able to tell i dont use the middle pedal much.
I decided on Brembo HC discs and Ferodo DS2500 pads :up: BUT it turns out there are two possible types of pad that...
Oh how i laughed REALLY i did :cool:
I had mine done recently by BG along with new rears and i thought it felt more compliant over bumps a much more enjoyable ride than it had been.
Sorry this is not much help to you ref cornering force.
Mine did exactly the same recently :mad: the piece you pictured is for the seat position memory when you tilt the seat forward to let someone in the back,as you can see in your picture it has snapped at the front leaving the other piece 'jammed' in the runner.
Removal of the seat is easy just 4...

Seen this little gem pop up on eBay,Keenly priced but needs a lot of TLC. :(

The thing with any mods is that its all down to personal preference,you may think it looks the 'dogs bits' the next person may not.
At the end of the day its your car and you should do what you feel to 'improve' it that said as time goes by a standard car will often hold its value better than...
Make sure you get the connector that goes to the TDC sensor as well,its often a connection problem rather than a component failure.
By removing it and making and breaking the connection you may have inadvertently found the cause.
Price for the sachs covers is unknown but i can get the cup ones for £8.50 each inc. So i will see how they fit on my spare set.
The bump stop comes as part of the dust cover.:up:
Hi Mark,
Try waiting for the red led in the centre on the display to go out before cranking.
How i start mine,unlock and get in ,turn on ignition,put on seat belt(this is enough time for the immob light to go out),crank and start.
Works every time,also how old is your battery? as it needs at...
Re Dust Covers : so the sachs shafts are thicker than the cup shafts ? If this is so then in theory could the cup dust covers be modified to fit on the sachs shafts ?
The reason i ask is my dust covers are pretty sh***d and renault want stupid money for trophy/sachs covers even if they could...
As far as im aware 182 cups didn't get speedlines just older 172's but correct me if im wrong
Many thanks this is just what i was after,perfect.:cool::up:
The only reason i ask is im too lazy to take one of my wheels off and look at the back and wondered if any one knew for sure.
The wheels i am planning to use are this type which have ET 45 stamped on them.
You may well be right in saying the standard ET is 45 i just wanted comformation thanks
Hi All,
Just a couple of quick questions on wheels;
1. what is the ET of the standard speedline wheel ?
2. if i use 182 cup wheels as a set of track wheels which have a ET of 45 would they make the track narrower ?
if so i guess i can use a spacer and longer wheel bolts ?
Thanks in advance
Get the geometry checked as said this should really have been done once the car was lowered,
Also have a play with the rear shocks and find a setting YOU like,tyre pressures can play a part in all this which often get over looked.
What tyres has it got ? mich or budgets ?
But enjoy the 'T'...
We are talking about the runners NOT the seat brackets ? (The two flat metal brackets fixing the actual seat to the runners arent we ?) ??
Because i have fitted trophy recaros into a 172 and a 182 using the original seat runners with no issues.:confused::confused:
These seats have had proper...
Hi Cazzy,
The seat runners in the trophy are the same as any other clio sport,try your local dealer.
Failing that thier are plenty of renault breakers online or ebay for this stuff.
There was a Renault mod on the wiring plug to this sensor for inaccurate reading i think.
But as said get a genuine one and ask while your there about the mod.
