I took the trophy down to the local garage and had the front springs and dampers taken off and replaced with new mark fish springs and some brand new cup dampers. The problem is that under compression (fast turn in or over dips) I get a rubbing sound- anyone got any ideas?
Btw (the original top...
So I had my AIRCON tested and regassed not long ago and it's stopped working again- took it to another garage to check and test again. - basically a defective valve (expansion valve I'm guessing) and radiator. Ask them how much to fix........
"uh.... that will be £955" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so I'm...
Finally getting a refurb on the Sachs, thought I'd replace the springs whilst they are being done. Couple of questions for you guys.
- What are the part numbers for the springs?
- Are the original springs still available? - I've had a dig and found these (are these the ones)...

Anyway, I know you guys (or some of you ) have part numbers off the proper Renault parts software and was wondering if you could tell me the correct part numbers for the following:-
what I am after is the sensor...
Regular stalker of this forum but never time to post T450 is all well (apart from CV boot clip fail) currently on 41k.
Anyway, whilst changing the front discs today I realised the T needed some TLC on her, so I plan to refurb the front dampers, new springs on front, lower wishbones, powerflex...
nearly hit 30k, so now been sent to garage for aux and cam belts, plugs, water pu
pump, rear discs (bearing gone), general service, bit of opies Titan and exhaust fix.
I might start driving it soon! (been real busy and the T has been sitting on driveway for a while)
Hi all havent posted for years but allways havbe a browse on the forums, anyway T450 has hit 26k and in need of a service...couple of questions.
1)- Do i get the aux and cam belts done as its nearly 5yrs old (and if so is it cheaper to buy these parts myself)?
2)- I 've upgraded to brembo HC and...
I'm looking for the rubber exhaust mounts that are next to each other at the rear (not the metal and rubber mounts on the rear box's) any ideas other than the renault dealer?
also i've got a k-tec center mount but it doesnt look like the original one, its shorter (unless the original has...
Can some one tell me the correct size replacement filter and what size cold feed pipe is to be used with the Maxogen AB65 enclosure. also whats the best material to use for the cold feed pipe?
cheers again folks.
BTW heres a link to the available Maxogen replacement filters...
As title says now and then there seems to be no go from the engine as if its sticking (if that makes sense) only seemed to occour in 4th at around 3k revs, you could feel the vibration through the throttle pedal too. Any ideas?. (i have been having some probs with my new pads and discs and also...
did everyone else have this?
does this mean the valve only fully opens at 5k and as such its removal has spread the torque around the rev range more?
or am i talking ballacks?
Hope you guys can help me :D
Question 1

I tried changing the standard stalk 2 years ago but it didnt work (thought it was the new stalk) finally bought another stalk and fitted this morning, still doesnt work! i'm guessing that my trophy has slightly different wiring to all of the other Trophys.
anyone else had problems with the...
I'm looking at spending no more than a grand on some performance upgrades on the Trophy. looking at the Morego (without cams) but not sure. Does a custom remap, filter and exhaust offer more value for money and if so who and where do you recommend?
cheers.
About time I changed the orange indicators, but cant work out the code from the phillips web site, anyone remember what the correct code is...........PY21W or WY21W?
cheer.
Why does my oil gauge go from half way (normal when hot) down to zero again and vice versa, does it intermittantly but got me worried.
The oil light came on the other day and I topped it up a bit, dipstick shows that its half way between min and max.
I take it the gauge is showing oil...
I've started to learn this technique on downshifts blah blah, i can blip the throttle in my Saxo quite easily but not in the Trophy, is this beacause:-
A - the pedals are to far apart
B - i'm not pressing the brake pedal in enough.
C - my feet to small?
pleae help a wannaby track star!
.......so wheres the best place to buy the 'proper' intermittant stalk?
i've checked ebay but no luck so far and i remember people where paying around £20 from some place.
any ideas?
cheers.
BTW - I've just hit the 10k mark!
In my local paper there is an artical regarding the bonnet catch failing on a clio whilst in motion.
In this case the car needs a £1000 repair. Renault say 'not enough incidents' to prove a design prob :shock:
My misses reakons the wipers slow down when you come to a halt and speed up again when you go above a certain speed. never noticed myself. is this true?
Anyone else got a crap signal on there standard radio?
Its allright on FM but MW (Football) is sh** (compared to the standard radio in my Saxo).
any ideas?
Is there any reason not to replace the standard filter with an after market panel filter?
I've read that induction kits are pointless unless you have a re-map, which i'm not going to do. So is it ok to pop a new panel in, is there any point, what difference will it make?
