That would be shameful behaviour!! The Mrs has been nagging me for over a year to sort the kitchen out and I can't take anymore, but thankfully that isn't the reason for selling it. :lol:
Cheers, I really can't understand the lack of interest! I've had one person get in touch but they were from Kent so couldn't get up to view it. Personally I don't think it's overpriced either considering the amount spent on it!
Should have mentioned that I've owned the car for the last four...
I experienced exactly the same thing last year with Direct Line. My renewal quote came through at £610 (up by £45), but went on the Direct Line website and did a quote as a new customer which worked out at £540 or thereabouts!
Reluctantly, I'm having to sell my 182 Trophy to cater for two little ones and the baggage train that goes with them!
Few basics:
Just over 58k miles, the car is off the road so this won't change.

Hardly anything really other than general wear and tear that you expect with any car, not just Renault.
I've had the Trophy for four years and a 172 Cup for 2 years prior to that, and no major failures to speak of.
Experienced exactly the same thing that the OP has described after changing my PE2s to PS3s. Had my dampers refurbished, ball joints replaced and it hasn't really sorted it, so I'm starting to think its the tyres!
My above offer for the rears still stands if the fronts have been sold? How much would you want for them and do you have the original receipt from Renault?
Sorry for all the questions!

This seems to be coming up quite often. After having my dampers refurbed a few months back, the handling on 399 is pretty appalling to say the least. Its got to the point where I've completely lost confidence in it, even over familiar roads I drive on every day. The car feels very unstable and...
Mine isn't pulling off line either mate but I am experiencing major crashiness and wobbling as you describe it.
I also thought a broken spring, but they looked fine when I put them back on a few weeks ago.
What you're describing here Gazza is virtually word for word how I'd describe my situation. The handling feels almost as bad after the damper refurb than it did beforehand and I've lost all confidence when cornering.
I did notice an improvement in turn-in after changing the ball joints, but...
Looks as though the owner of this car works in the Plumbing shop as it's parked there everyday. Now has an enormous 'For Sale' sticker in the rear window since I spotted it last week.
