    F40 LM Restoration

    As we all have a soft spot for a red car, this restoration of another red one might be of interest to some of you. Be warned, it's exceedingly long and detailed. 1107 images long. Get yourself a good cup of coffee/tea, or even a glass of beer/wine and enjoy whiling away a few hours. I have to...

    RSDriver00

    It seems we have a minor Twitter celebrity in our midsts. A serial supercar owner (911 GT3 RS 4.0, McLaren and other exotic metal) has purchased a Trophy. No idea which number he bought. Has anyone sold a very rich chap from Hertfordshire a Trophy lately? In his Twitter feed he was asking...

    Unloved snotter

    Saw this at a Renault dealership this morning. It was still on Sachs all-round. Wheels and exhaust also all original. Inside it was tatty. Melted wheel, no matts and dirty. Still got original dealer number plates front and rear so likely undamaged. It was covered in moss/mould though and looked...

    Williams vs 182 Trophy vs 200 Cup vs 200 Turbo

    Interesting piece. It's purely track based and doesn't consider road driving. Based on road driving I think the Trophy would trump the 200 Cup for driver experience. http://www.pistonheads.com/features/ph-features/williams-vs-182-trophy-vs-200-cup-vs-200-turbo/31965

    Clio 200 Owners Manuals, Service Book & Stereo Instructions etc.

    Hi All, bit of a longshot given this is the Trophy Forum and 200 drivers may have long gone, but I need a bit of help. Everyone here has always been a helpful and friendly bunch, whereas having asked for help regarding this matter in all the other forums where 200 owners might lurk, I've...

    Michelin Contacts?

    Does anyone have any contacts at Michelin? Preferably in product development, manufacturing or supply chain. Customer services or marketing better avoided. Looking at Michelin's current UK range the Pilot Exalto PE2 (for the Sports and Roadster segment so they say) is still available in...

    Trophy makes top 10 hot hatches; again

    From today's online Daily Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/pic ... ml?image=3 The link to the piece on the home page uses the photo of the Trophy with Alonso to tempt you in to read it. Does that mean the writer thinks the Trophy is the best I wonder? Or is it just a better photo...

    Winter Tyres

    Has anyone contemplated using them? If so, what brand and size? Also would they actually provide better grip than the PE2's in winter? I was looking at UK mean maximum temperatures from October to April, and between at least November to March temperatures should be highly suitable for winter...

    Fuel Starvation

    Has anyone experienced this type of issue? Started the T this morning and rather than waiting for the electronic choke to stop I just drove off. 20 yards later it felt like the engine was a little starved of fuel. Put my foot down and not much happened. The engine wasn't so starved of fuel...

    Evo Reviews of Trophy free to good home

    Hi all, I've been given copies of the two Evo magazines that review the Trophy. One copy of the 2005 Car of the Year and one of the shoot out with the BMW 6 Series. As I have copies already would anyone like them? They are the standard copies rather than the subscriber ones which usually have...

    London Tyre Fitters

    When I got the MoT done at the weekend they found a screw in the N/S front tyre. It's in a block so may not have penetrated the tyre carcass but I'm loathed to extract it unless I'm at a good tyre fitter with an Exalto in my hand. I wouldn't want to risk Kwik Fit or ATS etc and you have to buy...

    Cut & Shove ECU Bracket

    Had the MoT done this morning and got the ECU bracket fixed under warranty. Mill Lane in Aldershot were much better this time round (I think). Allowed me to watch MoT no problem. Also consulted me and talked me though what they were going to have to do to get the ECU bracket to fit. I don't...

    Doh for Dealer - ECU Bracket

    The part number for the ECU bracket that breaks is 7701471821, so Renault Mill Lane Aldershot say, but I don't know if I believe them. If you book the T into a dealer to have the bracket repaired under warranty this is the number to quote in advance for the part. Just had my entire morning...

    Hello Everyone Many thanks already for the hundreds of tips and suggestions I've read so far. I don't actually own a Trophy yet but by the end of February I hope to have one nailed down. I was hoping I could get a little assistance from you all. Servicing: Clearly RenTech are the...
