Hi all, had the trophy since brand new and only use it once every few weeks as i cycle to work and back. Its just aproaching 50k miles and I've got a horrendous knocking sound from the near side front suspension area. Im thinking the sachs may need so attention as the car has just passed the mot...
I'm after some good pictures of the trophy dampers. not going to tell my reason why just yet as nothing is set in stone.
But if you don't mind posting up your best picture of your damper including the springs fitted.
I have just got an e-mail from Renault UK to 100% confirm that these are going into production and will take around 14 weeks. I have this all written down and in an e-mail that I'm happy to post online for people too see
Right I have just spent over 40mins on the phone and spoke to Mark @mark fish Motorsport.

Hi All,
I'm in need of some rear shocks for my trophy, everywhere I ring they are on back order or have no ETA, Renault are useless and keep giving me normal 172/182 parts... my local dealers aren't any better. But my options seem to be MF revalved Koni's, standard Koni's or still try seek the...
Im contemplating doing a track day soon in my T, and just wondering what settings to have the front dampers set to for it.
Its got un-pinned dampers up font with MF springs all round and on the standard rear shocks. Cheers...
2005/05 Renaultsport Clio Trophy 182.
Regrettably I'm putting my Clio Trophy up for sale, I have owned the car for 6 years. The reason for the sale is that I'm emigrating to Canada at the end of November and as much as I'd love to take it with me I need the money and it just wouldn't be...
Hi - probably a dumb question, but if I want to get #478 feeling as "new" as I can, and i'm already all-in for a BG damper refurb, assume it makes sense to do the rears as well.
Original sachs rears seem to be £105 as well - questions are:
- Just the shocks, or make sense for Springs as well...
Hi - my dampers due to go in at BG on October 31st. Getting the struts power coated too.
It's expensive enough already (and have been happily buying other bits for my new car without keeping an eye on what i'm spending!) - and adds another £170 to the bill.
Has anyone done this, and if you...

Hey. I'm a previous Trophy owner (#488) but sold that in order to help fund wedding/house purchase etc. I'm now in the position that I would like to buy another.
I currently have a BMW 1 Series diesel for my commute to work however my plan maybe to get rid of that and use the Trophy as a daily...
Hi
I have a spare set or Sachs dampers. They are quite rusty. I have not tried cleaning the rust yet as I am planning on refurbing then.
I have read on here that rust is common but wanted to know how much is too much, ie how much before there is any permanent damage? Also can do people clean...
I am trying to find a set of front shocks for my trophy. My car is stuck on axle stands just now. I removed my shocks to send off to get refurbished. I posted them at the post office and the lady behind the counter told me I was fine to post them. The parcel has now been disposed of by Royal...
First off this isnt my first post as im a user from the old forum but ive had to sign up again as admin are not gettin back to me about reactivating my old user name ( If someone could look into it that would be great, my old user name is nathanh)
Anyhow, my suspension has needed rebuilding...
Evening all,
I'm sure that this has come up numerous times but other than the "normal" points to look for when buying a car (service history, accident damage etc) is there anything else specific to Trophys that should be checked please?
Thanks in advance.
I'm selling my front 182 cup dampers which were bought new for getting the Sachs refurbished. I did around 5k on them and they were working perfectly before removing them.
Looking for £60 posted
pm me if interested or any other questions
Some of you may have seen these on eBay as I thought I'd test them out there first but then just never got round to putting them on the forum.
For sale are genuine replacement Sachs Damper stickers.
They have the correct Clio Trophy part numbers on them and are printed on the newer ZF group...
I have recently crashed my Trophy and she is in a bad way :(
The offside sill is now a new 'feature' inside the car just ahead of the drivers seat and behind the pedals. The damper on this side is now also inside the car.. lying down on the back seat still attached to the front wheel in fact...
Just got my Trophy back after a whole heap of maintenance work and I have to say Wow! I can't believe how much the car is transformed! She went in for a service, new discs and pads, refurbed front shocks from Cornering Force, new front springs and new front top mounts. I had the rear shocks...
Up for grabs is a spare unit no longer needed,good clean condition no leaks been off for awhile ideal for a service or fit it as is.
Open to sensible offers on this one ? Can be posted £25 via courier OR collected in person FOC.
Thanks.
Test drove a trophy today. On full left lock there was a grinding noise (sorry not sure how to describe it) coming from the right front suspension. Any idea what that might be possible?
