alignment

Just noticed this recently, I've had to do a few full lock turns (or near full lock) and there's been a slight juddering. It come's through the steering wheel but feels suspension related. Anyone got any ideas? I can't remember from my previous T, but is this normal with the sachs? Cheers

No. 368/500 57,048 Miles MOT Expires April 18, 2015 Taxed till October 2014 The time has come to sell my Trophy that I have loved owning this past 3 years. Not something I am particularly excited about if I’m honest as I saw myself keeping it forever, but here I am. The car is kept garaged...

Hello just got number 14. Very pleased with the car and the way it goes. It's my 1st decent fast 'new car' having always had classics. I'm 42 so not a real racer type. I think it will fit in well with some of the oldies own. Only poor areas for road driving in my opinion are: a bit of movement...

When one of my Sachs failed recently I was in a real dilemma over what to do. To have them refurbished is the best part of £500 just for the front two shocks and there’s no real warranty on the repair. Combine that with the horror stories of people having them refurbished just for them to either...

I don't have the number of it yet so it's not easy to search the Register, but does anyone recognise this car and know anything about the history of it?

sooooo, i have fitted a new set of speedlines and tyres, alloys are exactly the same spec as the ones i took off.. but, something just dont feel right, its more at speed i notice it, the steering seems too accurate? if that makes sense?? feels like i turn a bit and turns alot, worth having the...

I'm Selling My 182 Trophy due to having a new baby and need something bigger, it's No 37/500 it has 1 previous owner, I bought it in Sept 2008 from allvehicles.co.uk it had done 55k, it's now just under 93k. Since I've had it its been well cared for garaged and used weekends, regularly cleaned...

I set the newly refurbed dampers to (what I thought was) 22 clicks. It was as stiff as anything, handled well but felt extremely unstable on the motorway and there was literally no body roll. I've turned them down a few times and there's a slight bit of body roll now and it feels better...

Clio Trophy, No 321 Time has come to sell my Trophy which I only bought 3 months ago but we are now expecting our second child in February so looking for something a little bigger! Full Renault service history as follows; 13,020 - 10/11/06 29,852 - 25/6/07 45,655 - 4/1/08 53,447 - 23/9/08...

Can somebody please report back on the following: Driving straight ahead at 60+ MPH using small movements of the wheel around the centre is there much "feel/feedback"? I have had lots of work done on curing a wandering/tramlining problem which is now sorted and the handling/steering feel is now...

Help me decide. I'm tempted to decat my ProSpeed system then get a decent remap to make the car a little more 'driveable' lower down the rev range. A few decat questions: * Has anyone tried a decat but reverted back to standard? If so, why? * Come MOT-time the cat will have to go back on to...

I have my Clio 182 Trophy No.440 for sale; I have owned thisfor the past 2 years and will be sad to see it go. Genuine reason for sale as I needed something bigger that Icould get tools and bits in. Due to me being a full time mechanic the Trophy has beenmaintained to the highest standard and...

Just given 038 a polish and some new pics. Would come with a new MOT. If you know about these, and most here do, all the maintenance and new parts on this add up to a fortune. I'm on the fence about selling it as it owes me more, but it is a stock car, I have an R26.R I'd like to keep and how...

Off chance anybody has a Trophy Bonnet that is spare that I could purchase?

Well, after getting loud donging noises when maneuvering, and people on here saying the top mounts would cause it, the garage I use also confirmed this. Ktec said to use engine oil to lubricate the top mounts last week, which i did, from within the engine bay, but it made no difference. I was...

I'm a bit perplexed by this, within the last month or so, i've been getting loud twanging/donging noises when maneuvering. The other weekend i checked over the complete suspension, to make sure noting was loose. I found no faults, but i tried tightening the front damper assembly top nut inside...

I am selling a full Trophy suspension set up, with recently refurbished front dampers. This set up will fit a 182 Cup, a 182 with Cup Packs and the Trophy. I bought the dampers off a guy on Cliosport last July. I have not even fitted these to my car as I have been preoccupied with another...

I have had two Trophys both which have done this. When parking and wheels near full lock the steering wheel becomes light and wants to go onto full lock its self as if the wheels are tilted over. Also if the road is wet the T front tires slip very easily when turning. It never bothered me as i...

Bought this brilliant car earlier in the year with the intention of doing a few hill climbs sprints (see my posts on here in spring about damper rates etc) - but apart from a couple of outings it hasn't been used much so unfortunately it must go. Getting valet done at the weekend so will have...

Trophy was handling like a bag of crap, noticed a bouncy damper so had it rebuilt at BG a few weeks ago. Also the exalto's on the front had come to their usable end so replaced them with the Pilot Sport 3's. Anyway, Trophy's feeling a bit weird in some corners, i cant really describe it, its...

Hi 1. As per title. Looking for a definitive answer on what is adjustable on a Trophy (i.e. without using camber bolts/shims etc). I have had a look around and cannot find an answer. 2. Also, does anyone know if the Trophy has the same standard alignment settings as 172/182s? I went to a...

Does anyone know the Engine Code for the 182? Apparently the wheel alignment place need that to match up the Trophy against the models listed on their machine, and the car is in another garage at the moment.

I'm looking for a good wheel alignment place near Sheffield, I wouldn't mind driving as far as Leeds / Nottingham and anywhere in between. I need them to fit the camber bolts as well since the last place I went to didn't have a clue. Hunter equipment would be best so I'm told. Many thanks Rick

As promised i have a few photos of before and after of the dampers once shot blasted and sprayed. If anyone else is thinking of doing this then from my own experiences i would suggest you look into building up the lost material once the rust and corrosion has been removed, the guy who done mine...

Hi all, I've recently had the front and rear dampers replaced/rebuilt as well as the top mounts. Its going back in the shop tomorrow to have the ball joints replaced as well ready for a full geo alignment on saturday. The guy at the geo place mentioned the track rod ends can sometimes be a...

Over the last 3/4 weeks I've been having a handling problem with the Trophy. Everything felt fine until I entered a left hand bend and I would turn the wheel but instead of turning in sharply the car would take a very wide path no matter how much I turned the wheel. I checked the tyre pressures...
