Hello mate i'd be intrested in the dash inserts and steering wheel + gearknob inserts if they are in decent nick??? :D Where are you located anyways??

Thanks hoolio but who is PW??

If youve bled the system like you say it's unlikely to be air in the system. The next two things i would look at are the master cylinder and then flexible brake lines. Master cylinder: The seals inside the cylinder could be slightly worn. Instead of the piston pushing the fluid down the line...

Does anyone know how much these things are from renault?? The girl on the parts desk didnt even know what i was on about, it's unlikely they priced it right.

I dont mind selling but i need to get some new inserts from the stealers. They want about £200 for a set :shock:

Anyone seen/tried one of these?? From the posts ive seen some guys have had trouble finding suitable gearknobs for the 182. I just saw this on renaultsport: http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clioaccessories/

Oooohh dont swear at me like that! Im John Deere through and through!! :lol: :lol:

084 came from it's previous owner with these inserts, the finish on them is first class with silver renaultsport decal on the steering wheel insert, matching silver gear layout symbol on the knob insert, and a matching silver 'trophy' decal on the passenger insert in proper trophy font. The...

Surely someone somewhere must do a pattern part for this? after all its only a strip of plastic. I wonder if there is a universal splitter of the right size available that would fit?

Thanks for your help guys, ive been looking at the janspeed on you tube and it still looks a bit loud for me. I want it to sound as quiet as standard really. Ill keep looking, maybe the scorpion cat-back might be my best bet.

I need to replace my standard exhaust as it's making all sorts of farting, rattling and generally renault-like noises. Ive been looking at the RS192 vs Yozza debate and had a look at some you tube vids but they all sound a bit on the loud side. I'm really after something that isn't much louder...

Yeah nick my clutch is quite heavy as well. It seems a bit too heavy for a small car really! My old CTR had a feather-light clutch pedal almost as if it wasnt even doing anything. I assume the geometry of the clutch linkage is to blame? I cant say my clutch judders from cold - it seems fine...

Could be black strips hiding overspray from a repair maybe?? Check the bodywork carefully. As hoolio said check for oily residue on the shocks and try pushing down on the front of the car it should be nice and firm. if you can kind of bounce it up and down, you need to try and barter £500odd...

Wow 205 gti6 - that sounds like a weapon!! Is the gti6 lump similar to the old Mi16 engine that people used to fit??

Maybe last months Evo mag 'Bag yourself a credit crunch legend' article has re-invigorated the market!

Ok ill post up some pics and do a fs thread. Watch this space! :D

How many miles has yours done now ajr? surely with all that work done it should be worth a bit more???

On a slightly different note, i have for sale a set of pristine capsicum red inserts - dash both sides, steering wheel and gear knob all with renaultsport stickers as per oem. The passenger insert has a 'Trophy' decal in the same font as the car and they are all laquered over and look great. If...

Hello mate Ive just bought a trophy like you but i didnt realise the dampers needed a re-furb until after - doh. :roll: I noticed the front of the car 'bobbing' when at speed on the motorway (think old american cars). After looking at the shocks I noticed an oily residue on the reservoir...

Yeh my nuts look used and abused too!! :lol: I'm just going to paint mine grey to match the wheels, unless i have a better idea in the meantime. I doubt new ones come cheap??

Nice car mate, how does it drive after the re-map?? Ive been reading about these diesel megs and was thinking that they are gagging for a re-map. :D

What is required maintainance-wise to keep the permagard coating in top order? I was under the impression once it was done it was semi-permanant apart from a bi-annual 'top-up'. The T looks good spitfire! How was the service from autowash?? I will get something similar done to mine when funds...

Im selling the ctr privately - no probs, except how should i go about letting potential buyers test drive the car and the question of insurance covering them? Ive noticed other adverts stating "must bring proof of insurance for test drive" etc Ive transfered my insurance over to the trophy...

Ok thanks guys - ill get on the blower and sort it out.

Hi spitfire How did it go down at Renknow? Ive only heard good things about them so far. It did sound a bit steep tho, £15 per tyre for fitting???

Just getting back to insurance, my company (bell) didnt know what a clio 182 trophy was. the closest they could get was a 182 ff. i said to them that it was a special edition etc but the computer said no........ #-o They assure me its fine to insure as a standard 182, so i left it at that...

Well the trophy has its work cut out for it then hasnt it!! cant wait to hear what you think.

Well the inserts on mine have been professionally sprayed and look very good, but i agree and prefer the subtle look of the silver. It matches the dials, door handles and the seatbelts for one thing. Ill post up some pictures soon and see if anybody wants to swap as there are some that like the red.

yes you definatly did better than me, mine was slightly more expensive and slightly more miles. The trouble with trophies is that unless you want to travel miles, youre limited to only one or two for sale in your area. I have some small jobs need doing - exhaust rattle (Perished Mounts i...

Hello mate, Ive seen your posts and was goin to give you a heads-up last week, but i thought i'd wait until i was sure i was buying 084. No doubt well bump into each other at some point! I was checking out ren-know's website the other day too and it looks quite promising. It would be rude not...
