Whilst I might not fully agree with the verdict, I do agree that these cars are the last of a dying breed. :( http://www.pistonheads.com/features/ph-features/williams-vs-182-trophy-vs-200-cup-vs-200-turbo/31965

I have for sale a pair of Sachs Dampers that are in need of a refurb. They came off the car in 2012 after I replaced them with new Twingo R1 dampers and have been in my garage since. I'm asking £325ono preferably the buy collects. Please PM me if you are interested. Thanks...

I am reluctantly putting up 218 up for sale. I acquired 218 as the second owner in February 2008 with 29k miles on the clock. The car is pretty much standard except for the Scorpion RS192 exhaust which was fitted in 2008. I fitted Brembo HC discs and OE Ferodo pads in 2009 and the rear...

I recently acquired a new car to replace the Trophy after 6 years of ownership, call it a mid life crisis if you will, but want to try out something different and found it in the guise of a '08 BMW 135i Coupe. It's a big step up in performance and still need to take things carefully to get used...

Has anyone found a way of perhaps trying to prolong the life of the Sachs? We know that they can suffer with road salt/dirt so just wonder if anyone else has come up with a solution to protect them. I'm not sure where the failure occurs, whether it leaks at the top of the body of the main tube...

Can't argue with £10 http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchCmd?storeId=10001&catalogId=10151&langId=-1&action=discount&promotionCode=232174

I am in need of 4 new tyres and looking at prices for premium brand 205/45/16 tyres are £100+ each including P&P/fitting. I used to run a ph2 172 and they ran on 195/45/16. I remember with Conti Sport on the 172 the handling was more playful than the Trophy. Has anyone considered or are...

Since we now know that Renault UK are now supplying Sachs Twingo R1 dampers (p/n: 77 111 67 414 and 77 111 67 413) as a replacement for the Trophy and are now charging £1400 each, I thought I would contact the official RenaultSport UK rally parts supplier to see how much they would supply these...

Fear not, instead of going to Renault, who will charge you £50-£60 for a new one, there is a company that can create you a spare/replacement one £13 delivered. You need the FER key number which can be found in your log book. I'd lost mine recently and the Renault garage suggested I contact...

Not sure of the accuracy....... http://howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/renaul ... _trophy182

Did an oil change last night using my old Pela pump that draws the oil out through the dip stick hole. Bish, bash, bosh, all done in 20 minutes without touching a jack, axle stand or getting oil anywhere. Filled the car with 5l of Halfords 5/40 fully synth and since I needed new screw drivers...

..when they clearly are not! (apart from one) http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... ull=SEARCH Might give some of the ads a call for a laugh and put them on the spot.

Was driving on an A road at speed and needed to slow down, however, the car did not slow down as it should and literally had to press the pedal till it would go no further. The car eventually slowed to a stop right up behind the car in front waiting at the round about. He must have thought I...

Does anyone know whether 182 Cup dampers will fit a Trophy? Reason I ask is that my nearside front damper has a loose remote reservoir and has leaked oil and is therefore shot. My car has done only 31000 miles. I've only a few days left of my warranty (end of Aug, great timing!!) and will try...

I recently discovered what was described to me as a "knock controller" when I bought the car, is in fact a Unichip piggyback unit. Great bonus I thought. Since it was originally setup with an open induction kit, I decided to have it remapped at Perfect Touch in Hoddesdon to what I have now, a...

Not a lot is the answer!! I've finally removed the valve following the guide posted on this site. I also replaced the hoses with flexible alloy items, 50mm dia. for the lower intake (1st pic) and 60mm dia. for the side intake (2nd pic) using the orignial plastic fittings. Performance...

Hi all, I had 218 for just over a week and enjoying every moment of it. I had a Clio 172 previously a few years ago so have an idea of Clio ownership. In between then an now had an Audi A4 1.8T Quattro and a BMW325i but needed something smaller and a little cheaper to run and of course to have...
