coolant

I have been concentrating on getting the engine bay tidied up over the Winter. I changed the brake fluid, gearbox oil and coolant and then painted the engine and inlet etc. The cam cover is Capsicum red and the engine mount, fuel rail guard etc is Audi nimbus grey. This was meant to be a...

Hi all, I was cursing along at 50mph when all of a sudden an engine light came on the dash, i haved checked the oil and coolant and ran the OSD on the cars display and no faults were present just - - - - , has anyone else ran into this before?

After much regret I have decided to put my 2005 Renault Clio 182 Trophy #083 up for sale. The reason for this sorry state of affairs is due to me needing a car with a decent size boot for transporting the latest family acquisition our cocker spaniel! This is my third Clio Sport and without...

Decided to change the gearbox oil in #302 as there is no evidence in the service history of it ever being done. Car has covered 63k. I went to the local Renault garage and they wanted £52+VAT for 3L of Elf 75-80 (after checking i found that you can get it for about £35 off ebay). Then checked...

My mates 182 Cup has been off the road now for around 6 months due to noticing white spoke coming from the exhausts. I have offered him a grand for it to which he accepted however will not pay until I have seen engine condition this friday. Sounds to me like head gasket may have gone. The story...

Hi all My T is approaching the 72k mile mark so will be going for a full service in a few weeks time. I know that the cambelt and acc belt should also be replaced at this mileage (or every 5 years) but the previous owner did this at the 40k mile mark around 3 years ago. Would you agree that I...

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...

With our second child due in September, we had to rationalise our cars. First the wife's Civic EP3 Type-R Premier went to be replaced by a 5 door MK5 Golf R32, now my Trophy is being replaced by a Megane RS DCi175. I've owned the car for just over 3.5years covering 44,000 brilliant miles, it...

Hi everyone. I sadly have to sell 224 to free up a bit more money towards a house deposit. I’m the 3rd owner and I will miss this car hugely. I’ve owned it since October 2009, have done quite a lot of mileage in it and it’s never let me down once. HPI clear. The car has a full service...

Basically, not had the car long and has a few problems already. noticed the car was hot and losing water last night, had a look at the front and the aircon rad is damaged :( can the aircon rad leak water?or potentially damaged the actual radiator by the force? ive noticed when looking at the...

My temperature gauge seems to be playing up... I've owned the car for 3 weeks and the temp gauge never reaches halfway (as I have read it should once warm). It seems to fluctuate just below halfway and 1/4. Also the rev limiter is kicking in at 6800rpm rather than 7200rpm. My plan is to...

I've owned #207 since September 12, having owned #383 before, so its about time for an update. The car was in excellent condition when I picked it up and only needed a few bits doing! New exhaust mounts fitted and AeroTwin wipers on arrival home. I had ordered new set of Speedlines from...

Hi, my trophy is away to get a major service. So was it the best brake fluid, coolant and gearbox oil to use? I already have the Titan race engine oil so I have that covered. thanks.

Recently purchased from Feirny for both the Bedford trackday on Saturday 16th (where it performed absolutely faultlessly, & allowed me to have a flipping awesome day!!) and to replace the R32, I’ve now been informed that a Clio is not really suitable for work/car allowance purposes anymore. As...

Hi guys I hadn't driven my Trophy since Friday and went out this morning to fire her up prior to the morning commute. I turned the heaters onto full and set to the windscreen to clear the ice that had built up and went back indoors. I returned to my car after a few minutes and whilst there was...

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...

I have only owned #372 for a few weeks now,loving it! The revs at idle are quite irregular,they aren't climbing,just sort of popping up and down. It's probably nothing,but was just wondering wether this is normal or it may be due to the cat being removed? Should it really be remapped if...

I re-discovered Evo magazine’s raison d’être last weekend – the thrill of driving. I bought my Trophy (#23/500) in early December. Its one previous owner had serviced it regularly but in most other respects it needed a dose of TLC including: refurbished front dampers; new exhaust; rear...

Just given 038 a polish and some new pics. Would come with a new MOT. If you know about these, and most here do, all the maintenance and new parts on this add up to a fortune. I'm on the fence about selling it as it owes me more, but it is a stock car, I have an R26.R I'd like to keep and how...

Here is my 2003 Renault Sport Clio 172 Cup for sale, its adverstised over on CS.net but i thought it would be useful to advertise it here too. I have owned the vehicle since August 2010 and enjoyed every minute of it, unfortunately the time to sell has come. I am the third owner and the Clio...
