    Car clicking when moving away

    Hi Guys My Trophy appears to have just started making a "clicking" noise when you pull away. Its still under warranty but just wanted to know if this was a common thing so i could perhaps relay some feedback to renault. Thanks

    Wheels are as new, lovingly polished even on the inside. Tyres are 60% worn Kumho V70A soft - the only make available in the correct size.

    Loud creaking from boot area.

    Done a search and I think I may be the first one to report on this! My Trophy has developed a loud creaking from the rear of the car over the past couple of months, I thought it could have been the interior trim in the boot, or the boot lock and rubber stops, but i've tried replicating the...

    Exhaust Problem

    i currently have a magnex cat back exhaust system, when first fitted it was great but with it being a slide on system it never stays in place i wish id kept the exhaust standard now, even if it slides back a centimetre or 2 it really effects the cars performance all i can do is keep adjusting...

    BB Performance Tuning

    Guys Been looking into upgrading my brakes, (even more so now because both front and rears are really worn), still mulling over whether i want a semi track set up and go down the Pagid blue/brembo HC set up, however I may want to just plump for a fast road use set up instead. I stumbled upon...

    Understeer help

    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...

    Blooming Recaros...

    I've had the car 3 days now, and done about 400 miles...It really is fantastic and I see why someone has termed the car 'Super Mario Kart'. However, at the risk of sounding like a whinging so and so, my back and legs haven't stopped aching. After about 20 mins in the Clio I begin to get...

    Renault Warranty - Nightmare!!

    My drivers door on the Trophy is catching the bodywork and causing the paint to chip off on the door and body. I took it to my local franchised bodyshop and they said it would be covered under warranty but I would have to take it to Renault garage to get approved then past back to them. Three...

    Are parts available for front dampers

    Went to see Yozza this morning for some new brakes......not really tested them yet but they did a good job. 8) So when I got home I thought i'd make my dampers adjustable. Tried to remove the grub screw from the drivers side and it would not budge. Even after plenty of easing fluid and a...

    Air con = Not starting

    Is it possible for my non starting first attempt in the morning be due to the air con because it only does it on the days i have used it . I turn it off before switching the car off last thing at night and then only turn it on once the car is running .

    Trophy in Gower

    Bought a new camera last week and tried it out in Wales at the weekend. God, there are some amazing roads there, if you can go in the week - do because the traffic is much lighter (virtually non-existent). The sunset pictures were taken at the top of Cefn Bryn, my favourite road in South Wales...

    sach damper upgrade

    i have just had the pin that stops you adjusting the Sach damper removed and i must say that it makes a difference from the standard renault setting as you can go quite a bit harder than the standard setting so this should make a difference when i am on my next track day

    Who uses their cruise control/pit-lane limiter?

    It's a feature of the Trophy that's often forgotten, correct me if I'm wrong but it is unique to the Trophy right? Or was it an optional extra on the late FF 182's? Anyway, does anyone still use theirs? I used to use it a lot when I first got the car to keep my license but I don't think I've...

    squab depth

    Was just pouring over the press release of the Trophy on allvehicles and came across the term squab depth when refering to the Recaros. Just out of interest, can anyone tell me what it means please? I did google it but didn't find any answers in the first couple of pages... :?:

    Panel filter

    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?

    Boot catch question

    My boot catch has developed a really annoying squeak. My local Renault dealer just greased it :roll: Not being remotely mechanical, I can't do much myself, but one question: The U shaped metal catch that protrudes up from the catch on the car body (rather than the bootlid): Is it meant...

    Camber settings and tracking geometry

    Many thanks to Olis for recommending Aurok for my geometry check. Although using the ‘old fashioned’ method of string and gauges, they confirmed my suspicions of incorrect tracking and mismatched camber angles. The camber was obviously slightly out from the factory but the tracking...
