alternator

Hi all, I've just purchased a 182 Trophy (No.382) today, rather a nice upgrade from my Fiat Seicento Sporting! It needs some work doing to make it perfect but it's brilliant to drive all the same :D However the battery light is on, as is the STOP light. At high revs this goes out so I believe...

Should the stop and battery light be on if the alternator is not charging? I've been to look at a 172 with the stop and battery light up on the dash. Its not charging and looks like its had a new alternator fitted that failed after two days. Should the stop light be illuminated if its not...

For sale is my beloved Renaultsport Clio Trophy No. 382I have owned No. 382 for nearly 5 ½ years (purchased in July 2009). It’s been my pride and joy ever since I have bought it however I am now selling as it is not getting used as much as it should (always been a 2nd car) and I have a new car...

Driving the T the other morning to work, my brakes failed and my engine started idling at 2000RPM! Turned out my exhaust manifold had managed to melt through the brake servo hose :eek:. Just when I thought my day couldn't get any worse, on the way home stopping using just my handbrake my...

Hi all, I think my alternator is on the way out... I have a strange whining noise at around 2K RPM and when I stopped and popped the bonnet I found that my alternator was very hot! To hot to touch, is this normal? Secondly, should there be a cover/guard at the front of the alternator to stop...

RenaultSport 182 Trophy, 248/500 £5250 Currently on 54K but as it is my daily will probably increase by about 300 miles each week. This is my main reason for selling, can no longer justify the fuel costs versus the enjoyment factor as it is now purely an A to B car for me. Comes with...

For sale is my 2005 Renault Sport Clio 182 Trophy, Number 441/500. After owning numerous RenaultSports in the past, I thought it was time I finally owned a “Trophy”. Due to a change in circumstances and a significant increase in my annual mileage, it is with regret, my Trophy is for sale. The...

Someones Trophy looking sorry for its self in the workshop. Anyone off here??

Evening, hoping someone can shed some light on an odd charging problem my Trophy's sprung upon me. I had a new alternator fitted a couple of months back and all was well until a couple of weeks ago. The car runs fine but after about an hour's continuous running if you turn the car off the...

Hi all I'm about to swap my standard inlet upper and lower manifolds for all the hunky dorey port polished etc and enlarged throttle body but was just wondering how much work is involved in the lower manifold to swap? I know the upper one is easy as I do plugs alot, also if I'd need any new...

Not really using the Trophy at the moment (twice in 6 weeks), so if someone else wants it as is, they can have it, if not, I will strip everything of worth from it at some point over the next few months and keep the shell and running gear in the barn. This is my 2nd Clio Trophy. Having...

Got the trophy fixed at SWR today and the service was spot on. Got some bits and bobs fitted also that where lying about that i bought ages ago. Fitted - New Alternator New Aux Belt Kit New AST Solid Top Mounts New Rear Braided Brake Lines

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...

Well, it's time to clear out all of the stuff I’ve got kicking about (1 double length garage and 2x sheds worth). If you need it, chances are i've got it kicking about. All parts are from either a Titanium Ph1 172 with 85k, a Monaco Blue Ph2 172 with 72k, a or a Titanium Silver 182 with 58k on...

Hi, wondering if anyone can give me a definate answer to this please; Engine OFF - Battery at 12.5v Battery is fine. Engine ON - Battery at 14.4v Alternator fine. Electrics on (lights etc) or cold start - Revs drop and stalls, or drops to 300rpm lights dimm and battery crashes to 11v but if I...

Hi peps need a bit of info, had to do an alternator on my T the other day, finally got around to getting it all back together however i have now noticed that my window's don't drop if you flick the button just once. I can't remember if it ever did in the first place. Just wanted to make sure the...

Afternoon. Just phoned up Renault to book my car in for a service and she asked me what type of service i wanted. As i don't know much about what service is what i just told her i want a full service. She then asked for mileage to which i told her just ticked to 37k. She then said that i will...

Currently umming & ahhing about buying an e46 M3 in the next 6 months, so may sell the Trophy at some point ... i have absolutely no idea whats its worth though due to the laughable mileage. FYI, i know whats its worth in bits, but not as a whole, so im just thinking in case someone wanted one...

Swapped my rears to the front as treads heading towards 3mm. That way I can replace them ASAP and put the new ones back on the back for winter. Wondering if this was wise as car feels very odd! Had balancing done on them but since then car still seems to wander more. Wondering if the tyres...

My first post & a sad one. I've had my Trophy (#61) for a v enjoyable year & took it for its first track day with me the Saturday before last at Lydden Hill, having just had the expensive full cam/aux belt done. Unfortunately it seems to have blown a valve & my local Renault dealer that I...

Hi, What does the warning light on my trophy mean... It is the one that looks like a heart monitor... it always as far as i can see is combined with the diesel heater light but I obviously don't have one of those... saying that there is water in the fuel.... is it ok to drive or should get it...

Firstly, thanks to James & Tom at JMS, despite having to be on the Eurotunnel at 6am this morning, James was bleeding my brakes at midnight last night - mostly thanks to another of our friends bringing in a last minute brake related emergency/c0ck up i might add ... IR tired. So, the work done...
