advice

Just bought a trophy after having a few 106 gti's and my god is there a difference. Never known such great car in the bends. Number 093 by the way bought from a really nice guy and he said the only fault is that it won't play cd's. Radio plays fine but if you put a cd in it comes up with an...

Morning all, 007 had a service yesterday and surely enough, the diagnostics showed that the SERV and ESP lights coming on were due to a faulty brake pedal sensor, to my relief after people talking of steering racks etc. It also knocked out the cruise as well so that is two problems sorted...

Hey guys, im looking to buy a cliosport but cant decide whether to get a 182 Cup or pay a bit more for a Trophy. Any advice? Cheers

Was thinking of a YS 182 system. What have other people gone for? I don't want it too loud at motorway speeds, when booting it, it can be as loud as armageddeon though.

ive just given the trophy a good clean inside and out, ive brought some autoglym leather cleaner but dont know what to use for the alcantara. theres a tiny stain on thr passenger seat and its always been there since i got the car but never wanted to try clean it out myself incase i ruin the...

Which one would I be best off buying? I don't do many miles as I work away so I drive mainly at weekends. So it got me thinking a diesel might probably cost more than a petrol. But the diesel cupra has sooooo much torque! But I have heard they can torque steer out of corners! Which could be a...

Hi, I was driving my 182 the other day and I had various probelms with the gearbox and was unable to put the car into 2nd gear without a crunching sound. I have since taken my car to Ren O Tech in Chelmsford and they have told me i basically need a new gearbox and have suggested that I replace...

Hi there people, i am new to the forum and am looking for my first clio. After looking through loads of classifides and internet sites i have decided that you guys would be the best to ask regarding well looked after cars. So here is what i would like in an ideal world; Clio 182/full...

Hi all, Needin to get ma Sachs re-furbed but need car every day for work so am lookin for replacement suspension for it while i get this done. Cant seem to find Koni's to fit.... Bilstein quoted me £1000 and told me that the trophy had a megane front axle which i've not heard before :? :? ...

If i'm quite honest, I don't know much about how to maintain a car myself...always having to get my mates and their tools to help me out. Which isn't really a problem, but I want to start getting more involved. (bikes not a problem..but cars..i'm lost) I bought my Trophy around June time with...

Afternoon chaps, After taking the motor out for a spin this afternoon, i noticed after, a squeaking noise coming from what sounds like the steering rack etc... leading down to the wheels. Almost like the same creaking noise as when a bed goes. I then stopped, and turned the wheel when i was...

Over the past few months i have noticed a squeaking sound coming from the driverside front damper on the T - it has also become very 'spongey' in comparison to passengerside! :( Is this likely to mean they needs refurbing? Any advice appreciated!

A weekend break to rural Norfolk proved too much for the Trophy: a massive pothole in the grassy car park of Holkham Hall saw my splitter, er, split into pieces. Gutted :( Guess I'll have to fork out the £120 for a replacement from K-Tec. I unscrewed it when I got back to where I was...

Dear All, After getting back from South Wales today, I would like to ask: what is the best technique for carrying speed into and out of a corner in a Trophy? I know all corners are different: different gears required, different braking points, different throttle pressure etc, but is there a...

Hi guys im Kev and i put down a deposit on a trophy today, should get it next week- cant wait! I had a 182 cup but it got written off last month after someone pulled out from a junction straight into the outside lane of a dual carriageway and hit me :( only had it for 6 weeks! Anyway spent the...

Hi there, Big problems... I have just spent a couple of hours with my friend at his garage trying to line up this exhaust. everything is fine until we go to fit the last (right hand side) back box which the pushes everything of to the left almost touching the bumper! He does tune cars for a...

I know this topic has been touched upon many times...Just want a quick opinion. Looking to replace my front discs with Brembo HC and greenstuff pads. I use the car for road use only. Is anyone using this set up...any advice and/or opinions please?

Hi guys im in need of some advice, my trophy suspension is causing me some concern, on the o/s front of the car the suspension seems to be have a lot more play then the n/s , i've had a look and can't see any fluid but does this sound like the shock could be shot? the car has only done 23,000 so...

I have now decided to give my little trophy a re-map and have looked through previous posts to gain some idea on what folks have done and where they have been,but alas its left me a little confused! I shall soon be booking in for a service down at rentech and was wondering whether to call into...

Hi, I've ordered a new aftermarket steering wheel and boss for my Trophy as the existing one has started to melt and the thumb grips have split so it looks a bit naff. The idea being eventually to get the original re-trimmed so I can have an airbag and cruise control and then flog the Momo. I...

After having started this topic: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7506 about the Trophys ESP + SERV lights coming on together (not serv + airbag like most get), i am wondering if that guy in 2006 was right that when these lights come on the T needs a new steering rack? Hope not... What sort of symptoms...

We recently held our Club Day (which was actually a weekend) and enjoyed what was a thoroughly fantastic time! The weather was decent, the company excellent, and the cars on show very capable and having a lot of fun. (Sadly I was the only RenaultSport there among predominantly Japanese motors)...

Hi all I have only had the Trophy a few weeks (1500 miles) but the PE2's on the front are in need of a change. I have tryed quite a few tyres in the past on my Ph1 172 but have never tryed R888's... so I thought I'd get a set and see how they do on a day to day basis through the summer. I have...

Howdy folks, After having been an avid owner and fan of the Trophy for well over a year now i am ashamed to say i havent been on here much apart from when fault-finding!! Seems to be a great bunch on here though so thought i'd start chatting!! However, my first post in a while is a gripe. Now...

Since purchasing my Trophy (413) 2 weeks ago i now feel it needs to good clean, polish etc inside and out also the engine bay. Wanted some advice on what products to are best? from my fellow trophy owners.
