I have a knock sensor error listed as "bank 1 or single sensor". Does anyone know, 1 - How many are there 2 - Where is it / they 3 - How much it should cost 4 - What does it do, is the error with the sensor or is the sensor detecting a problem in the engine. The car feels extra spritely at the...

Anyone had this problem before. My n/s dipped beam headlight is out. Its not the bulb or the fuse. Is there anything else i should be looking for before I have to start tracing wires. Also there are 2 live and one neutral wire connected to the bulb, any idea why 2 live and should they both have...

I am starting to see the service light flash when I sit at idle. Using my torque app, I get the error code P0300. The look up shows this, P0300 - Generic Type Powertrain - Ignition System or Misfire - ISO/SAE Controlled Description Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected It's not causing...

I have finally got around to fitting my new headlights and i have 2 questions for anyone who has done this before. 1. Do the headlights have there own manual adjustment, its not dark yet but the individual lights look different heights on the wall opposite where i park. Is there a cunning way...

Looking to put in new headlights and think I should probably get some new bulbs. Certainly want to replace the dipped beam bulbs. Anyone know the numbers, eurocarparts lists a load of bulbs H1 up to H7 I think. Not sure which numbers equate to which light. The car parts site is pretty vague...

I've got a bit of time on my hands at the moment and was thinking of renewing the Trophy suspension. My shocks were done about 20k miles ago. Has anyone got any advice on what bushes etc are worth checking / replacing. I understand that this could be a never ending list but I wondered if there...

Anybody know of a solution to the above problem. My drivers seat makes so much noise it is getting really annoying, I think most of the noise comes from the bolsters. Cheers

Got home from a weeks holiday. Started the clio this morning and left it to warm up. When i came back to the car a couple of minutes later there was a fairly loud rattle from the engine bay. Sounds like a bearing may have gone in something but I have no idea what so I am wondering if it could be...

What do you do when you have a blow out on one tyre and there is still at least 50% life left on the other three tyres. The tyres are EAGLE f1'S and I hate them with a passion. Is this the excuse I need to get rid of them. I have another tab open with 4 AD08r's sitting in a shopping basket, I...

My oil light came on yesterday. When i checked this morning it was a little low so I have topped it up. I decided to jack the car up and have a look, there is definitely a small oil leak somewhere around the back of the engine. I didn't remove the engine cover down there so it was hard to see...

Can anyone help. With the car running normally but stationary should it be fairly easy to push the brake peddle to the floor. On a damp road (in safe circumstances) doing 50 - 60 mph I can hit the floor without triggering the ABS. The car stops pretty well but I feel this is not as good as it...

Anyone got any suggestions on a replacement steering wheel. Ideally i would like it smaller and closer keeping controls and airbag. As far as i can tell the only real replacement is from the clio 197/200. Has anyone fitted an aftermarket wheel and managed to keep the controls. Cheers

Has anybody tried Goodyear Eagle f1's on the Trophy. After a lot of searching I can find very little information. Also there seem to be 2 different types. Asymmetric 2 and ds3, anyone know the difference. Really hard to find any details on them. Probably going to go with AD08r's but my local...

Anyone using AD08's as their every day tyre. How do they cope with cold and wet compared to the PE2's. My PE2's are getting on a bit now, they still have a fair bit of tread left but the rubber feels like it has gone off a bit. The car feels really loose compared to last winter. Maybe just a...

Has anyone figured out a way to bring the standard steering wheel closer to them. I'm thinking of trying to get a spacer made up to go bring the wheel closer to the driver. Is there anyone who has had there wheel off who would know if this is possible. Cheers P.S I apologize if I don't ever...

Anyone know what has happened to Ren-tech in Portsmouth. They have looked after my car since I bought it 5 years ago. Been trying to phone them for a service this week and it just rings and rings. Anyone know of another good specialist in Hampshire. (ktec are a big money making company IMO and...

My trophy has developed a strange leak. When it rains i end up with water under the back seats (even when parked). As far as i can tell the water comes out of the passenger side rear seat belt bolt. After doing some careful hosing i don't think the water is coming through the back windows, which...

I met Harry Metcalf at an evo track evening last year and he asked me why I had not thought about a newer car, implying that the new models are better. Any way with this thought in mind I went and test drove a Clio 200 on a cup chassis the other day. My thoughts, new car is bigger, much more...

I am in need of a new front splitter, (:( don't ask). I was wondering if anyone has one lying around that they might want to sell. I see a few people have changed to the carbon one and so there must be some floating around. Any suggestions on where to get a new one. So far I have looked at the...

Does anyone know where I can get new seat runners for the trophy recaros. I have got a tiny piece broken but it means the seat doesn't lock in properly any more. I'm told that I can't get spares and I have to replace the whole runner. Renault never got back to me. Cheers

My car has always struggled to start on the first go in cold weather. Usually one turn of the key fires then dies, second turn is an instant startup. I have never worried much about it, I just assumed that it was some kind of fuel pressure / priming sort of thing going on. The only other...

I have an Orbisoud soft exhaust. The other day my emissions light came on. After reading a couple of posts on this site it seemed a common problem in this cold weather, so had decided to get the code cleared and see if the light came back on to see if there was a problem. A week later I still...

I cooked my brakes last time I was on track. When driving home I noticed that when stationary i could put my foot to the floor quite easily, I don't remember being able to get the brake pedal to the floor. Anyway after new brake fluid and new pads (Running BremboHC discs, DS2500 pads and braided...

Does anyone know of any Renaultsport servicing manual. The Haynes Clio manual specifically says it does not include any details of Renaultsport cars.

Check this out for a bit of lift off oversteer. (The last clip is full lock). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mILuoaZvVX4

I went to Bedford aurodrome the other day and- In the wet morning the Clio was very tail happy and a whole lot of fun. :lol: As the track started to dry the car became amazing. As the front started to slide, a very slight lift would bring the back end gently into line with no real danger...

What tyre do people recommend for track use on standard trophy turinis. I have heard the R888 are good but the nearest size is 195/50. Does this profile fit the car properly. Also I am looking for some kind of longevity. ie do the soft kumho burn through really quickly. These are a...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsXZO_jl_JY This link should take you to a video showing the difference between the original car and a few mods. The mods are Orbisoud soft exhaust, viper induction kit, manifold match and remap. A quick summary The performance difference is barely...

Just come back from a driver training day and my front tires are down to the indicator and look ready to delaminate. I always planned to get new tires after this day but here's the problem THERE ARE NO EXALTOS IN THE UK. :( All the online shops say they are available but after ordering...
