My girlfriend is about to purchase a new car, well, used but around the age of my Trophy. I have told her that she has to start looking after this one and it has surfaced the discussion regarding car care. My car was Permaguarded by duffer987 and for the last 2 and a bit years under my wing, I...
Hi all, hope i'm posting in the right place. Picked up my trophy no. 108 on sunday, noticed in the past few days a whine or whiring noise which to me sounded like a pulley bearing...on searching this site someone mentioned the idler bearing, i presume on the aux belt, on their trophy was causing...
=D> ....i think people are finally starting to realise trophy's are amazing cars and people can't keep selling them for peanuts!!...mine was £9k last september there is no way on earth i would let it go for under £7k especially as it took me over 8 months to source such a minter (093)
As 196 is coming up to the annual Permagard top-up I thought I'd get the stone chips and the tiny dent on the bonnet sorted before getting the treatment done.
Has anybody used Chips Away - if yes - good or bad reports?
Cheers

Had a cracking time and saw a Trophy up there in the mountains too but can't remember the reg I was concentrating too much......
:D
I am a former owner of 480 and I have just received an important safety letter from Renault telling me that I need to get the car looked at as the bonnet may open when driving. I did not get this done and as the DVLA appear to think that I still own the car you may not be aware. They recommend...

Hi everyone,
Yet another couple of questions......
The Trophy I bought last Saturday still has 2 months warranty remaining (the advance one), as it was bought by the last owner as a Renault used car only 10 months ago. I'm used to French cars having problems, but as I've still got this...
I used to have a red Fiat Coupe 20VT a few years back. Really fun little thing, didn't handle well but looked good and went pretty quick.
BUT: it turned completely pink over two years as the pigment in the paint oxidised (or whatever it does). It was an R-reg and this was in 2002.
So I'm...
Hello all,
Can anyone bestow some knowledge with regards to swapping phase 2 front end for phase 1?
I personally love the phase1 and cannot believe renault thought it could be improved.
But for every phase1 in decent condition there are about 5 phase 2s so im in the market for a phase...
Solid top mounts are going to be fitted to my car shortly.
Im going for the KTR Solid Top Mounts which look very similar to the Compbrake ones.
Those of you with Compbrake top mounts fitted I want to know whether you have experienced any movement in the mounts resulting in geometry changes...
Any one on here had any experience with a Viper induction kit. I know the Maxogen is the ultimate but can't really afford the price. You can get them now for £166.37 from the Pipercrossshop using this code I picked up at the Autosport show "AUTO15" which gives you 15% discount before the end of...

Has anyone got a breakdown on what fuses run what??
Can't seem to find any info on it, not the fusebox inside the passenger door, the one under the bonnet by the battery!
In particular, the 30a normal size blade fuse, not the oversize ones.
Thank you!!!!
Does anyone know the history of number 40, it's a cat d but some info on the accident condition would be useful
Also i've been to view 273 at Keighley today, what a shed :x
Every wheel has been curbed, one in my opinion wanted throwing, the owner had replaced the tyres with ditch finders...
i want to know whats the quickest way of getting rid of some unnesesary weight on my trophy. i am thinking of removing the rear seat bench as i dont really carry passengers much, i was looking at getting a carbon bonnet for the car but dont know how much this will cost and save me weight, and...
Discovered tonight my side light on the passsenger side is out, even with the headlight turned on the side light doesnt come on, neither does the one next to it, just the headlight comes on, checked the bulb that is clipped in and it looks fine but i couldnt get the other bulb out.
Also with the...
Hi all
I'm hoping to make my Trophy a bit more track focused for next year.
How far have people taken the stripping of there cars and what sort of results have they got?
Oh and any ideas and advice with track mods would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance ,
Matt.
:D
Hi guys, this should probably go in the Trophy Faults section but I thought that since it could cost a lot to fix people should know. My beloved Trophy has been in the garage for a week because a number of seals around the engine and gear box were perishing. It's taken so long cause the garage...
Just the other day i was driving down a 70mph road and the car infront of me was doing 40mph, i decided to overtake in 3rd gear, as i overtook a approached 70mph and there was a strange noise, it sounded like the front arch liner had peeled away and was rubbing on my wheel. I stopped the car and...
