I've just done this very thing. Picked up one two weeks ago. Got it booked in for a service next weekend, where I'm chucking on new OEM dicsc, Fedoro FS2500 pads, gulf racing brake fluid and braided hoses. Also changing the engine oil to Gulf competition, new air filter, gearbox oil, engine...

Bought this brilliant car earlier in the year with the intention of doing a few hill climbs sprints (see my posts on here in spring about damper rates etc) - but apart from a couple of outings it hasn't been used much so unfortunately it must go. Getting valet done at the weekend so will have...

Not on a Clio, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions: Focus 1.8 53 plate 31k miles Been running perfectly. I left the car standing without being driven for about 3 weeks. Started and drove perfectly for a week after being moved, noticed that occasionally it wouldn't start first...

I know Renault seem to get bad reviews amongst people regarding the reliability but during my ownership I have found the Trophy really reliable. I've owned it 3 years and 4 months and had the following issues... Failed Coolant Termperature Sensor Failed Damper Seal Failed CV Boot Clip Thats...

The time has sadly come to part ways with my loyal trophy so if you are after a 1st class condition example look no further,I purchased the car In feb 2010 from steve at all vehicles there has been a lot of work done on the car to keep it up to condition so here we go deep breath! Reg t22phy...

Jus need opinions on this issue please, my Clio fails to start after a long journey but if I leave it for half hour it will start again fine; for example I went on a drive to Oulton park the other week which takes me about 45 mins- 1 hour I parked my car up and got out then had to move my car...

drove the car to the petrol station today and noticed a little puddle under the car towards the back of the engine, im pretty sure its not coolant because it tastes and looks totally plain, we've had a lot of rain lately and now its dry and red hot and at first i thought maybe water had gathered...

Currently umming & ahhing about buying an e46 M3 in the next 6 months, so may sell the Trophy at some point ... i have absolutely no idea whats its worth though due to the laughable mileage. FYI, i know whats its worth in bits, but not as a whole, so im just thinking in case someone wanted one...

I have for sale a nice white 16v on a K plate, so actually phase 1.5 but close enough. I have just done the cambelt, clutch, waterpump, thermostat, oil/filter, gearbox oil, pas fluid, sparkplugs, airfilter, coolant inc flush and new header. Mot'd last weekend so has 12 months MOT on it. No...

Hi all I had a quick search but couldn't find what I was looking for, so excuse the new thread. Is there a recommended set of milestones for services (minor and major)? My Trophy is sitting at just under 41,000 and the previous owner advised me to get her serviced next at around 45k...

Coolant and antifreeze is a topic we are asked about on a regular basis, and often causes confusion; types, colours, service life etc. Perhaps the most frequent cause of confusion is what the difference between anti-freeze or coolant is. Basically, they’re the same product (although the term...

Now for sale as my friend can’t get insured on the 182 with it all fitted lol … We’re looking to sell the whole lot in one go, so everything that has been changed/adapted we'll give the purchaser - essentially creating a plug & play installation. From memory, this should include the following...

I had it come on this morning coming home from the gym. No symptoms whatsoever, just the light. I've booked it in for Monday. I assume it's just the Coolant Temperature Sensor. Hopefully it will be a painless easy fix.

Hi Guys and Girls, Can you please help and explain what the Exhaust Gas Monitor Warning light 'Flashing' actually means in English. The eplanation in the handbook is as helpful as usual. Can I drive the car slowly to the garaga 3 or 4 miles away? The tempature gauge has been fluctuating...

Hi all, My trophy has only been averaging between 26-28mpg recently where usually its easily 33-35mpg. Around a month ago I put a decat on it, do these affect mpg that much? Or could it be the lambda sensor? may have got damaged when putting in the decat?

Well in the last few weeks the sudden drop in temperatures has caught out a few people In view of this I thought it worthwhile to highlight a few areas worth paying attention to. Coolant/anti-freeze - I've seen a number of cars that the anti-freeze concentration has been far too weak, causing...

Right, The GF has a KA (I hate the thing) and the coolant system is poo. Two years ago the small pump in the bulkhead failed so we replaced that. Month or so back the stat failed, replaced that all OK and the car has been working fine, not lost any coolant. However. Today she came back and said...

Just bought no 429 , 29k miles. I want to get big service, belts etc etc. I am in north London, any advice very welcome as doing really want to go to main dealer. Also, any top tips re tuning/chipping the car for better / smoother running ? Thanks Neil

my trophy is now due a major service due to age not millage. Renault say either 72,000 miles or 5 years wot ever comes sooner. my trophy only has 13,500 miles and Renault are saying i need a major service ! i personally think spending over £1000 for a major service for a car with only 13,500...

Hello, My Trophy is all booked in for a Service & Cambelt in the next week and my pockets are literally empty. . . Mainly due to the fact that this also comes in the month when the MOT, Insurance and Tax are all due. Ouch! I was just wondering if there was anything else i should be aksing the...

Spotted a fellow Trophy owner at Mallory on Sat, unfortunatley it was while I was trying to repair a snapped coolant hose so I didn't get a chance to pop over for a chat. Anyone? Steve

I thought that I might change the engine coolant soon, any ideas which is a god one? And how much do you need? I take it it's just a case of removing the bottom hose? Any advice would be great!

My Trophy - #433 **Warning essay content** Having now owned the Trophy for 6 weeks & 3k miles, i thought i had better put a little thread up about it ... Basically, since October last year, id been rolling around in a Golf Gti Edition 30, which really wasnt to my taste & did shoddy mpg...

Sorry guys, but I've just got a Trophy and it seems to want to cut out all the time. Also takes a tad long to start up in the morning, turns over a couple of seconds longer than I'd think normal. Even once warmed up after a long drive, put it in reverse and start to move back and it'll just...

Don't absolutely need to get it done for another 5k but as i've only had the car a month or so i thought i might do it early for piece of mind. Renault Benfield - £849 inc vat with all the ancilliaries Wylam Renault - £1116! I know i could drive down to NorthWest but it would probably mean...
