    CV Boot

    Rusty Wheel Bolts

    My Trophy has been sat in the garage now for a long time and the wheel bolts have gone very rusty! I could take them off and give them a brush up with a wire brush and polish them up with some wire wool, but for them to rust they have obviously lost a protective coating of some sort??? Any one...

    Black seatbelts?

    Does anyone know if any other Clios came with black seatbelts? Mine are really grubby and won't clean up, so I thought would be a good mod if an easy swap.

    Ktec top mount saga continues...

    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...

    Speed line wheel stickers

    Hey chaps (ettes!) Was giving the Trophy a wash today and noticed that, before long, am sure that the last fading speedline logo is going to disappear from the wheel lip. I have, on the back the CT numbered sticker and thought it might be an idea to get some stickers made up in the same way...

    Recaro Seat Back Slide Handle?

    Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? Its the little plastic thing that you lift up in order to move the seats forward to get into the back. The passenger side one has snapped off. I went into a Renault dealer and was told that they were £38 because you have to order another part...

    Standard air box query??

    The standard air box seems to have two inlets for air. One with a cold air feed pipe that disappears somewhere underneath the nearside headlamp and another inlet without any cold air feed. Is this right ? Still having trouble with my T :(

    I finally cleaned the Trophy.

    Essentially, on Saturday, somebody parked their rather clean looking Trophy in our car park next to mine, the gf noticed & said, 'that red clio's really nice'. After then explaining to her that it was a Trophy, just like mine, & that under all the dirt, they were both exactly the same colour ...

    The answer to my handling problem...

    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...
