I lay claim to being the first to fit this system to a Trophy back in 2008. \:D/ :D and it's still going strong! I did a short guide of how to fit it with a few vids of what it sounds like. (tup)
Don't want to detract from the topic, so well done to Rick.
I was completely done in when we got back to our rented cottage and left the kids to run around field to burn off more energy, I just put it down to their legs being quite new and mine are most definitely not! :lol:
Would loved to...
Some "impressive" speeds in the car!! :shock: :oops:
Just got back from the Lakes myself with my family. Did Skiddaw and Helvalyn to Red Tarn. Proud of my little 4 year old and her two sisters who needed no assistance from daddy to get to the top! :mrgreen:
I don't see a problem with it to be honest. It's no different to fitting an aftermarket exhaust, MF springs, JMS Intakes, etc. IMO. At least it won't turn a shade of pink in the future!! :lol: The colour change won't take anything away from it being a Trophy and that is how it drives. It's...
Be extra careful with the pressure bleed system. Don't let the bottle containing the new fluid go empty or you'll end up putting more air in the brake system, more as the air is under pressure!
According to the haynes manual bleed them in sequence:
left front
right front
left rear
right rear
Yep, sounds like you have air in the abs and apparently a real bitch to get the air out of the system. You may have to bleed the system again until all the air has gone and will take a lot of fluid to do this. You may have to take it to Renault so that they can connect it up to their...
I have noticed the sluggish performance at times too. Was the same when I had a 172 years back. I can only attribute this to driving the car like "Miss Daisy" or when the car hasn't been driven for a while or doing a lot of short journeys. Taking the car out for regular "spirited" drives...
In a word.....no! though I guess if BoroGTI knows what coolant tastes like it must be a regular tiple for him. If he can taste the difference between unleaded and superunleaded then we might have some real talent here! :lol:
It's really difficult to guage any difference by pushing on top of the dampers. Best way is to have the door open and for you to stand on the doorsill and rock the car, or push the car up from the top of the door frame on each side. With this you can clearly see the difference in bounce. When...
Sound similar to what I get when the steering is on full lock on a cold morning at low speed. I get juddering through the steering wheel. I can only put it down how the suspension is setup on the Trophy with the camber and toe. On full lock, the inside wheel's steering angle is greater than...
Just to note that aluminium will suffer corrosion when in contact with copper especially when water and salt is added to the mix. Best use regular grease.
