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. Warning, they are brilliant in the wet, but not in standing water (only have 4mm tread when new)- also being soft they pick up every little bit of grit and...
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...
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...
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...
I decided to remove the pin from the dampers today. After doing some research from various 'Damper pin removal mod' posts I thought id give it a go. I did the drivers side no problem but when i came to do the passengers side the grub screw would not move, i tried some WD40 but it never worked...
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...

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...

Got to be honest, been lurking quite a lot on here and you all seem a good bunch of lads.
Anyway, here's some info on my car, I'll list the current spec in the first post and then I'll follow up how I've changed her since buying her last August. She's for sale by the way, and I may be...
Has anybody had any faults with their rear suspension? I've noticed my back drivers side is leaking :?
Its booking in to dealers on monday to hopefully get it changed under warrenty

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.

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...
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 .
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...
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
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...
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... :?:
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?

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...

hi. i wonder if you could tell me how many turns of the dial from the hardest setting down to the softest setting to put back to the factory setting.

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...
Known locally amongst trade friends as 'Le 182 Bunker', I now have a unit to store cars available, cleaned and ready to go. As you may be aware, I don't just sell Clio Trophies, but really enjoy driving Trophy and Cup models - hence the bias towards them. e.g "Don't buy a Cooper S Works until...
