clean

ive been rather lazy these 3 or 4 weeks as i havent given the t a clean. i managed to give it a little wash (in the rain), so looks ok but i want it looking in a showroom condition, specially after all the snow,grit we've had. is there anyone who knows and uses one of these mobile car valeters...

Is it just a case of pulling those black rubber clip thingys out? Can I re-use them? Had a bit of a poke around but didn't try very hard to be honest, ended up cleaning up the suspension a bit, rest needs a clean though! I had a small accident (70mph motorway accident) a few weeks ago and all...

I took some pics after giving the Trophy a quick clean.

Am wanting to spend a day on 007 in the next few weeks, a kind of 'spring clean' that i put all of my car through in Feb/March, especially now the roads seem a bit tidier after all the kacky weather. I valeted professionally for 6 years, but that was about 5 years ago now so i am a bit out of...

Am looking to clean 007s rocker cover a bit as sometimes, especially with this weather it looks a bit grimy. Engine degreasers only degrease, not clean so wondered if anyone had any hints this side of taking a dremel to it... Cheers

Hey guys! Just thought it would be interesting to ask clio sport owners a 'hypothetical question'. If you could which of the following engine mods for the F4R would you go for and why? Turbocharger Supercharger Throttle bodies

Hey guys, spotted a Trophy on PH for a good price that is near me and was curious what sort of MPG people are getting from theirs. I'll never get near a motorway so A & B road figures would be grand, cheers guys.

Hi. First post and selling. Bad ettiquette I know :oops: but I have been viewing the site for a while now when my missus was looking to upgrade her car so have viewed quite a lot as a guest. Anyway, onto business. She has found her new car so her other car is up for sale. This has been owned...

Seeing as my insurance is up for renewal in Feb, i thought i'd best have a quick look around to see what is what. I am currently with privilege, 5 pts (an indiscretion remaining from when i was 19 in my old Clio 1.4RT en route to a festival), 24 now, employed, 6yrs NCB and i think (monthly) i am...

Are people worried about the corrosive damage all the grit is causing to there dampers? Seen as though they are spraying literally tons of pot ash. Doesn't it help if the dampers are covered in lots of grease after they are rebuilt? Grit damages all cars anyways doesn't it. Can't imagine that...

Spotted a Trophy on Montargis way in Crowborough sunday, anyone off here? Looked pretty clean considering we had 8 inches of snow on the ground!

Seen a T in Measteg Tesco on Sat about 1.30 ish looked nice & clean compared to mine anyway ha ha, only the 2nd one ive seen in the flesh apart from mine, even done a 2nd lap around the car park, anyones? didnt note the reg.

Just had a look at a Trophy for sale at the Arnold Clarke Ford main dealer on Scotswood Rd - Newcastle Upon Tyne. its up for £7500 with 40k on the clock - Reg SM55 FUV - aparently came from a scottish dealer Described as "mint" by the clueless salesman when i went in... however it was'nt. Badly...

No question who this was! :lol: Only the second time in nine months of ownership that I've seen another T on the road. I'm slightly ashamed at the state of mine :oops: I gave it a proper wash less than a fortnight ago but these conditions aren't friendly to a clean car!

When i press my brake the rear fog light comes on, just on the dash though, not the actual fog lights on the rear of the car. It just lights up on the dash for about 1 second at the most then goes off?? Ive checked all the lights and indicators from outside the car and they all work fine, just...

where should i place the axel stands to take my wheels off to clean them. A picture would be most helpful

Bit of a boring one but we all like are cars to their best. i have 1 grubby seat belt, no prizes for guessing which one, Anyone know a product to clean it with? i just want it silver again. think last owner must have shut it outside car door or something. Onto the stats, are there any good...

Or is it ok or is higher octane ron best?

I recently fitted Brembo Max fronts adn standard rears with red stuff all round,(awaits the slating of red stuff, lol). For the first 300miles or so they were fine with easy breaking. After that i decided i would try giving them some hard breaking just to see how good they were. They were...

I was never a fan of the 4 different type faces that were on the outside of the Trophy, ie Renault, Sport and Clio on the tailgate, and then Trophy on the side skirts. Emma, my g/f works for http://www.dread.cc as a designer, she has done many of the Pistonheads T-shirts, stuff for Lamborghini...

Just got the car about 3 weeks ago, number 272 and I am a happy man. It's in great nick, drives like a dream and certainly packs a bit more punch than a 1.2 polo... One thing I have noticed is that the paintwork in and around the renaultsport lettering on the boot lid is looking a bit grotty...

Just wondered who could point me in the right direction for the best insurance deals on a Trophy at the moment. 35-year old, no track use, 12 years no claims so should get a half decent deal. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Specialist insurance brokers? :D

Hi guys, Had the battery off the car today for at least half an hour and now when I remove the keys from the ignition I get 5 beeps... When I return to the car from locked, I get no beeps as normal, just when I turn the ignition off. Looked through the alarm section and cant find anything for...

With the imminent arrival of my new car the time has come to sell my beloved Trophy. :( Will "officially" go on sale next weekend, but I'm putting it up here first. Decent pics will follow then, for now these are from the day before the Gaydon meet a fortnight ago, since when I've used it...

Hi, I'm the new owner of Trophy No.243 T9PHY which I collected today after some fraught negotaiting with Renault dealer who had it. I know it was owned by a member on here who I contacted before buying it, and I thank him for his information. It's my new daily runner to replace my late spec...

Seen LV55 EKC in Salisbury yesterday, thought for a minute some tea leaf had nicked mine!. Was thinking about gunning the Transit but relaxed when I saw the plate, car looked very clean, unlike mine at the mo :wink:
