    Clio Trophy For Sale FY55 WZH

    Hi everyone Due to totally unforeseen circumstances way out of my control I have decided to sell the Clio Trophy I only bought a few weeks ago. I am selling due to an engine failure and this block will need rebuilding or a new engine dropping in to the car. The car has dropped a valve and...

    Worse thing possible

    I’ve tried staying off this as I’m that upset. Thanks for the support though I appreciate it. I have decided to sorn the car and cancel my insurance. The oil level was fine and coolant level was fine, in fact the car was pulling great etc and under the previous owner had just completed a trip...

    Worse thing possible

    The car needs a totally new engine I am totally gutted it's had a bottom end failure and has blown the engine in to bits. I am probably going to be selling as spares and repairs. Bodywork is good, has had a new genuine clutch fitted, everything is original, wheels recently refurbished. 4 good...

    Worse thing possible

    Car was pulling fine though and felt really tight and good! The car just lurched quite violently which makes me think it’s the cambelt that’s gone and all power just went like that.

    Worse thing possible

    I’m based in Nottingham so I’m near mick at diamond motors. It’s the sheer cost that puts me off plus I just think I will be nervous driving it again now when it’s done. Will have to see what the verdict is and go from there. I’m favouring selling it off though.

    Worse thing possible

    I’m not the most mechanical the Aa man said the crankshaft still goes up and down. No fault codes no oil leaks on the floor or anything.

    Worse thing possible

    Two weeks into trophy ownership and it's fair to say things haven't run smoothly: I was driving today on an A road at a sensible 50mph speed, and suddenly my car lurched and came to a stop I am suspecting my cambelt has snapped even thought it was done at a reputable Renault Specialist in 2014...

    Not got any photos just yet which is rubbish of me! Work is well underway while the parts were being stripped off we noticed the engine mount was extremely loose I am now hoping this is the cause of the knocking noise I can hear when I pull off (fingers crossed) I have ordered the Skoda Fabia...

    Thanks mate will take a look. Well lads at my workplace have had a look and they suspect gear box bearings. Is this quite common on the trophys? Mileage is 88k Cheers Sam

    It's true I appreciate that basically the noises are as follows: Clutch in no noise otherwise when the clutch is out there's a noise sounds like a clutch release baring but the clutch was replaced by birchdown autos. Second noise is when I pull off from a standstill it clunks twice then goes...
