Just bought 415, which had its aux belt changed in August of last year with 18,081 on the clock. Wondering when the cam belt will need doing now. Is the latter due for replacement at three years after manufacture or when the vehicle reaches 36,000 miles (currently done 19,800)? What price have...

Hello. This morning i turned on my 182 and drove away. Then i noticed a light on the dash in the middle under the petrol light. It was a rectangle with wiggly likes in it from left to right and same orange as the petrol light. The engine had very limited power (limited to under 3000 revs). I...

New to the forum and the Trophy – just bought 415. I am having trouble sourcing two brand new Pilot Exalto PE2s locally to me here in west Kent. Any idea where I can find them for around £110 each?

I get a deep creak/groan sort of noise when pulling away. And no it's not the ABS system, it does it whenever pulling away from a standstill. Only started this week really, and i think it's related to my worn wishbone balljoints. Normally i'd think engine mounts but it dunno. Anyone else had...

Hi guys. Having a nightmare with the car lately. When im travelling 60+ MPH the car feels like its not planted and changing lanes on the M-way or dualcarrage way is becoming very scary. When traveling at speed and steering lightly (ie changing lanes) everything feels loose and the car seems to...

So 219 is now 3 years old and at 26k miles, the annual service is due in December but its my intention to bring it forward before a small road trip to Wales. Now how many people have taken the precaution of having the Aux Belts changed when there car got to 3 years. I’m in two minds to...

Well some of you may remember me? Im little Newms from Cliosport. I use to own a 172 Cup but decided to sell. I bought a few cars after that with the best one being a citroen saxo vts (loved it! Gutted when that went!) I saved a few pennys and bought a house with my Mrs and here i am today! All...

I have this car offered against a stock car. 2003/53 Clio 172 in Iceberg Silver with 57000m Total 4 owners and FSH. Was likely an import as it's missing the cruise control and has a very nice intact steering wheel! It's a very bright and tidy car with a new Alpine CD Tuner and K-Tec stainless...

Well it's now just over a year since the last service [-X and was pondering whether to get the belts done as it will be 3 in october, thing is it's only done 9k. :oops: What's everyone else doing and what's your opinion?

Well time has come to part with Tommy. For me a car addict Tommy was my cure, no longer do i feel the need for a different car every few months. Having owned 187 for almost two years i believe i'm cured :D or grown up :oops: 17,000 miles 1 previous owner. FRSH inc coolant & brake fluid...

as some of the trophys are now due there first mot i thought it would be good to see what miles everyones done in them. mines done just over 27,000 which isnt too bad for a nearly 3 year old car. bout average i think, anyone got a really high mileage one and any under 10,000 miles?

I have a major problem :( Not really sure what to do. Driving home form work on Saturday, the emissions warngin light came on and the car sounded oncredibly unhealthy. (i thought it sounded like a steam train...) Got towed home by the rac, and they have said it has blown a spark plug. The guy...

The part number for the ECU bracket that breaks is 7701471821, so Renault Mill Lane Aldershot say, but I don't know if I believe them. If you book the T into a dealer to have the bracket repaired under warranty this is the number to quote in advance for the part. Just had my entire morning...

Hey Guys, I know it's a long shot trying to diagnose a problem with my 182 over the net without seeing or hearing a car, but some of you guys are very clued up & thought you may be able to help me. I have a funny feeling I have a engine or possible gearbox mount gone or on the way out...

Has anyone got any info on how the warrenty works with regard to parts? Just want to know what to say if they say, they cant give me a new driveshaft because it has a non standard air freshener or something lol

Driving to work this morning took me over 50k miles! How many others are there to have reached this? Think I have seen at least 2 others on here that have done 50k, and quite a while ago too. Must be a few more by now?

My Trophy has developed a subtle engine fault over the last couple of months. There is a distinct missfire at 2500 RPM (in neutral) and has become a little sluggish under acceleration, especially from lower revs. It sounds rough too. I have also noticed a rumble, in tick-over, from the cambelt...

Hi, I'm new here. I have been offered an ex-company Clio Trophy. It has done 50k miles. Would this be a good buy or not??? I haven't seen it yet. How many services should it have had in this time??? Will those expensive dampers need doing??? Thanks Rob

Took my Trophy up to Ben R's place on Wednesday along with a couple of mates and am staggered by the difference to my car. Mid range has improved dramatically and the torque is much more like a Williams now. If anyone wants a go in my car let me know? :D
