So its been a while since I’ve posted anything, and seeing as me and a mate of mine had enough energy to clean our cars yesterday I thought I’d do a little update with some pictures of the recent additions to #333. Although I won’t bore you with millions of pictures of my Trophy all clean, as...

Hi all, been a while since i've been on here as i sold my T over two years ago now, a sad day that was too!
The Trophy has been by far my favourite car, for the year/12k miles i owned it i loved every second and done my best to keep it in perfect condition and it was just that 'perfect...
Yet Again another problem with the Trophy.
After going through all the oil level stuff and me buying a oil level sensor (getting fitted on tues)
This light now comes up on the car when i start it in the morning. After about 3/4 mins it goes off and does not come back on untill the next again...
My car has always struggled to start on the first go in cold weather.
Usually one turn of the key fires then dies, second turn is an instant startup.
I have never worried much about it, I just assumed that it was some kind of fuel pressure / priming sort of thing going on.
The only other...
So i go out to start the T this morning to take the little one to nursery, the dash lights come on but flicker slightly and instead of turning over just makes a sort of ecectrical clicking sound, tried it a couple of times with no luck. Now, the car hasent been used much recently so i thought...
right, my beef is basically, why are these cars just not worth that much money anymore? for a car as amazing as this to drop from £15,00 in 5 years is pretty shocking, i think asking for £4000, £5000, or even £6000 when selling yours is rediculous. these cars are classic and a piece of history...
IT'S VERY LONG I KNOW BUT PLEASE READ COULD BE VERY HELPFUL
Eventually gave up with the fault finding for the slight lack of response and power from the trophy myself so I handed it over to a Renault sport specialist who plugged it into the laptop. The first piece of software did not show up...
Hey guys,
I have tried to get a 197 steering wheel onto the trophy. I'm using Renault Peterborough and they can get it on and modified the cruise control ok but 2 problems.
1) the back of the steering wheel rubs on the coweling. (apparently this can where the steering wheel)
2) steering felt...
In two minds whether to do this or not but i just dont use the car at all and my house renovation has to take priority over racing at the moment. Only been out once this year at Oulton for a test/track day and last raced last year. It was previously owned and run by Alex Schooledge of Outpace...
ill start.....
my white 3 door after some tw4t nicked a bus at 2am, this was the aftermath:
the keen eye will also notice the 16v clio too, taken in part ex for the ERST i had before this. next up:
wish i never sold it, and then this:
and then:
and then a pimp wagon lol:
then...
As many of you may be aware and if so now probably becoming quite bored with my posts on my T lacking in power I'm sorry however I may have just found it !!
Well keeping it short here it is ... With the trophy parked (in neutral) idle is very lumpy but this is normal for the 182's, when I...
Hi all.
I have had a problem with my central locking since I bought the Trophy in November. The problem is that the central locking keeps locking and unlocking itself madly whilst driving and its become a lot worse as time has gone on. I have tried researching all over the internet what it could...
I need a little help from someone in the know ,my Trophy's devolped a faut code on the little dash display. looks like a p (ish) Something like 'P---.
What is this, a nomal mechanics obd reader doesn't pick up any fault, but the renault display says otherwise?? Can anybody help me? :?
Took my car into a local garage today to try and get my brakes working properly and he hooked it up to the diag. machine that come up with a steering angle sensor fault. Which explains why i have an ABS, Traction and SERV light on the dash. This has occured because i disconnected the steering...
I have a Richbrook slant top gear knob. On the whole, I like it but don't like the slant "cut off" at the top.
What I would really like is a brushed (i.e. not chrome/polished) ball. Something like you find in an Elise would be perfect.
Has anyone "discovered" a simple brushed alloy ball gear...
hi all im new to the forum and hopefully will gain some knowledge from it a well.
basically i am due to own a clio 1.2 oasis (currently my mates ) and have done all the modifications to this car myself
a few pics
how it was bought
how we wanted it on photoshop
after a bit of work...
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...
Hi chaps, wonder if anyone can help with my issue. I've been doing quite some work to my T the last month: Front sachs refurb, fitted Ktec solid top mounts, Poly bushes fitted to lower wishbones and anti roll bar, new track rod ends, lower balljoints, koni adjustable rear dampers, mark fish...
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...
Hi guys.
Last week I had my wheels refurbished at the Wheel Repair Centre in Preston, they have done a fantastic job i'm really pleased with the results. They were shot blasted and powdercoated in Anthracite, they are not an exact match as the original paint but are very close, maybe a shade...
its been nearly a year since i parted with my trophy and got a clio 200. now im having nightmares and i need a trophy again. maybe end of the year i will start looking but going to go find a completley standard one and this time its for keeps. :D
Hellooo
i've got a bit of a problem with my clio, it doesn't start - all the electrics are working but the engine doesn't even tick over... Any ideas why? :cry:
Hi,
I have just discovered a leak and could do with some help identifying what it might be. It is a pinkish fluid, there are no warning lights on the dash and the car appears to run ok. I will be getting it booked into a garage but could do with a heads up.
Thanks
James
Hi,
What does the warning light on my trophy mean... It is the one that looks like a heart monitor... it always as far as i can see is combined with the diesel heater light but I obviously don't have one of those... saying that there is water in the fuel.... is it ok to drive or should get it...
wanting to put a sub into my 182 but cant seem to find a way for the power cable to get from the battery to the inside of the car..anybody got any ideas? and help much appreciated!
I always get my EML and it showed with a mifire so i have done the following.
New Oil filter & oil
New Air filter
New Pollen filter
New Coil pack
New HT leads
And i have just done my spark plugs which where bad.
Now im getting the EML on with this code saying i need a bank 1 lambda probe...
Hi Guys,
Looking for some help...
Last night I was driving my T and when changing gears it sounded like I was slipping the clutch (when I wasn’t) so I put it into neutral and the car revs didn’t drop they stayed at 2000rpm. I pulled into my drive way and it was still revving constantly at...
