advice

I've just been out and had a test drive in my first Trophy today. Unfortunately, I didn't note what number it is. Quick questions. 1-we have 3 auto cars at the moment and haven't driven a manual for a while. The clutch engaged/disengaged cleanly but did seem a bit heavy. 2-the steering wheel had...

Hi guys, just after a bit of information regards the above. Does anyone use these for there track days? Are they a Renaultsport item? If so where is the best place to purchase? I know they can be found on Demon Tweeks but they look generic so not sure if this is the best option. I have...

Hi all, Have had 2 services since I owned the T on 24k and 35k using 5W40 Elf oil. After having the last oil change the car has now covered 37k and is already low on oil. Not sure if it has been topped up fully but imagine it would have been. Car is used 5 days a week for 60 mile commute...

Okay, for one reason or another I long longer have easy access to a PC so I suppose its time I bit the bullet and got laptop'd up. Don't really know a great deal so what should I be looking for in a good one etc etc. As for budget, I would rather not be spending huge amounts but will for a good...

What is a trophy worth in bits? The car in question is completely standard with engine failure Dampers are fine, one wheel has a kerb mark that I can see and the mileage is 65-70k miles. I'm informed the gearbox is fine and the recaro's are in mint condition, any help is appreciated

My batteries died :( However when trying to jump start it off another car it turns over but wont catch. If the battery is totally caput will it not start off the leads? Anoyone got any clues?

Can anyone tell me how to change the over head light. I think the bulbs gone, it was working yesterday when doors were opened, but today's it's gone, any advice on how to change the bulb and what type of bulb would be great mg

I'm thinking of buying a couple of Mich PE3's as the fronts need replacing. Rears have covered at least 15,000 miles but have good tread. Do you, A) Replace the fronts with the new tyres? Or B) Switch the partially worn tyres on the rear to the front, and put the new tyres on the rear. ?

My rear pads need replacing very soon i've used the search facility and found lots of posts regarding brakes etc. Now i know the brakes at the rear only take about 20%, so i was going to go for either the standard renault OEM pads or the Ferodo DS2500's which i think quite a few people are...

anyone thinking about getting this set up? or seen it in the flesh? looks the amazing.

Hi guys I have got some Eibach Sportlines on mine but it seems more people are changing the springs on the Trophy. Anyone got any good recommendations? .. I have even heard the soft dare i say Apex have even had good reviews on the Trophy dampers. Cheers for spring or damper related info...

Has anyone else noticed the trophy (in flight) on the cover of the Evo special "performance car heroes" Basically it's just a compalation of old Evo features, but still worth a look, I'd post a pick but I can from my phone...

my trophy is now due a major service due to age not millage. Renault say either 72,000 miles or 5 years wot ever comes sooner. my trophy only has 13,500 miles and Renault are saying i need a major service ! i personally think spending over £1000 for a major service for a car with only 13,500...

Just wondering how the Trophy stacks up against later Clio's? Similar pace, but what's the true quality difference and any handaling differences.

Due to a change in financial circumstances :( I'm taking the rather hard decision to suspend my insurance policy (a huge cost for me being 20) and lay #110 up until maybe spring or early summer next year. That way I'll be saved from renewing my insurance again in June as I can potentially...

what's the best mounts to go for? i'm after gearbox, engine mounts etc - poly probably but what make?

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and as yet, haven't even got myself an RS Clio . However, that is hopefully about to change in the next week or so and I'm looking to buy a Trophy. Other than the reading I've done on the net and the usual Clio buyers guides that I've found, I can't seem to locate...

Whilst i'm aware that some of you perhaps think that the Cliosport forum is a bit 'childish', 'chavvy' or simply below you as a Trophy owner ... having read some of the threads on here since i've had mine, i have been constantly amazed by the lack of knowledge that 85% of this forums users...

Hello, My Trophy is all booked in for a Service & Cambelt in the next week and my pockets are literally empty. . . Mainly due to the fact that this also comes in the month when the MOT, Insurance and Tax are all due. Ouch! I was just wondering if there was anything else i should be aksing the...

Unfortunately the exhaust on my Trophy now needs replacing. I've been quoted £467 to get another one from Renault! Can anyone recommend a decent after market exhaust that is not any louder than the standard Renault one? As I use the Trophy to commute to work everyday I don't fancy having a...

***Now sold - Deposit taken 21/09/10*** Hi Guys, After purchasing number 322 from Gman (fellow forum enthusiast) last year, a move abroad means that our love affair with the Trophy must come to an end :cry: . Please see attached my Pistonheads advert which reads as follows...

What's the best way for removing spot welded flies and moths from the bumper and bonnet? Is there a product someone can recommend that loosens them up so i can get them off without scrubbing and risking putting surface marks on the paint. I've never known how to get them off properly and just...
