renault list it as a £80 option so there cant be much to do...the wiring will be there and no doubt it uses the electric motor already fitted in the mirror to pull them in...

I have owned a few clio's in the past and have always taken it to the same Renault Specialist near where I live. He has been a Renault specialist for nearly 15 years and he is very clued up on anything French to be honest.
Anyway, I've had an oil change from him on the Trophy a few thousand...
If anyone is interested there is a Trophy for sale on the forecourt at Inchcape Southampton. Not sure what the number is because it was 2am when i saw it, but it is on an 05 plate and up for £9475 i think.
So i took the Trophy to get it checked to see what kind of condition the brakes were in as i was getting some travel on the pedal..... £46 later and the results were in,
pads 60% worn on fronts and 70% worn on backs, ok so i've got another couple of thousand miles left.
i asked what the...
Has anyone got any info on how the warrenty works with regard to parts?
Just want to know what to say if they say, they cant give me a new driveshaft because it has a non standard air freshener or something lol
Hi
In the last couple of days when i've been driving hard the traction control and service warning lights flick on. When i press the traction control button it makes no difference - the warning light stays on!
When i have had chance to stop i turn the engine off and back on - and both...

I must be a masochist in advertising Wanted Ads for Focus RS. The owners are only after MENTAL money for them, and I'd say I was prepared to be as bullish as I am with CT.
Just told by someone they will wait and readvertise in the Summer as cars fetch more then...??? Obviously forgotten that...
Have noticed a slight creaking noise coming from the front of the car when initially moving off (either forwards or in reverse) with part lock of the steering applied.
Its a very minor creak but have got #237 booked in to be inspected anyway.
Anyone else had this?
Any suggestions...
My car is Capsicum BLACK at the moment and i'm feeling a little guilty about it after seeing all the sparkling trophies on the site.
Can anybody recommend any decent detailers in and around south east London/Kent/Essex areas?
Think i might get it sorted in the next few weeks!!!
Cheers...
I've had the car 3 days now, and done about 400 miles...It really is fantastic and I see why someone has termed the car 'Super Mario Kart'.
However, at the risk of sounding like a whinging so and so, my back and legs haven't stopped aching. After about 20 mins in the Clio I begin to get...
I have a 2005 / 05 JCW Cooper S 210BHP with Engine, Exhaust, Suspension and Brakes all done at JCW. BMW Factory LSD and Stability. So a proper bit of kit and not the dressed up JCW things you see around. 15000m, one owner, TLC and a £1500 Kenwood DVD Nav also fitted to car. Total cost to...
Due to some kind hearted, delightful young guys, I am now in need of a new wing mirror cover which they shattered for a laugh, along with a number of other cars in my road this evening. :cry:
Does anyone know if they come pre coloured or if I will have to purchase one and get it sprayed...
I can see me getting one of these in the next few months, so I'm going to give one a go tomorrow at the local Renault dealer. I'm hoping it'll be the perfect car for me -
I love the way the Trophy handles, but I don't like the relative lack of power and torque.
I loved the way my Focus RS...

Please contact me if you wish to sell a low mileage Trophy in VGC. While not private sale money I will pay better than 'other dealer' prices - I know because I underwrite them and they always come!
Ditto, any late Clio V6 255 you may become aware of.
Thanks, Steve.
Hello,
I'm new here having just bought number 464. I have to say I'm loving the car but something is worrying me.
I thought I'd register the car on the owners register, however on there it shows two people claiming to have owned 464. I've just had the V5 through it clearly shows only 1...
What are they, in mileage terms please ?
It was last serviced at the beginning of May at 4,500miles, when I purchased the car from Renault.
Now nearly 7 months on and i'm at 15,250miles, and wondering if i should try and get her looked at before the xmas break. Checked the oil saturday and...

Had a bit of spare time on my hands yesterday so took the Clio out for a blat last night.
After a while turned the ESP off. Wow! Transforms the car!
Acceleration has more bite as does the handling.
The car is brilliant without the Esp on. Just shows how well sorted the chassis set up...
Want to keep the Trophy looking good.
Think my car's had permagaurd recently applied to it (only had the car a couple of weeks).
Anyone else had this done? How often do you need to do it?
Any other tips for keeping it tip top?
Thanks,
Karl.
Has anybody had any faults with their rear suspension? I've noticed my back drivers side is leaking :?
Its booking in to dealers on monday to hopefully get it changed under warrenty
