So, i went in today to find out what recalls it had been in for, the bonnet catch being at the top of list
but, after speaking to them they told me that the trophies did not have the dodgy catches fitted to them...
it has been in for the following :
Injection all types
Wheel bearings...
I need some front new springs, is there anywhere I can get the normal yellow eibach springs or do I have to change? My suspension goes in tomorrow and I've just noticed it by taking it off one of the springs has broken but I want to replace the pair.
cheers
Hi All
After buying my Kangoo van with ph1 172 components I decided Id like the real thing.. Ive trawled the net and I think Id like a Trophy or something out of the norm, such as a turboed 172/182.. If anyone has anything I would love to hear about it.. Must be mint as I dont have the patience...
I got a letter saying all clio 182's including the cups etc all have a recall about the bonnet catch ceasing and then the bonnet opening as you come down the road and smashing everything to bits?
Just got this little lot,from BG and the local dealer.Its the credit card that's gone to the max :p
Note the new type fitting?no more schrader valve.
Modified spring platform to allow the crud out,gone from a 6mm single hole to 3 8mm holes
Those clever frenchies have put their parts...
Firstly, apologies if this is covered in a thread I haven't found - I have searched the damper threads but couldn't locate the answer to this specific question.
Basically, has anyone had their Sachs dampers unpinned and compared the car's ride on the softest setting against the hardest? If so...
Sadly the time has come.

Just an update for all you trophy owners on the holy grail of the sachs stickers that go on the shocks and the trophy decal that goes on the side skirt.
I will start with the sachs stickers and once again i have tried and tried to get more from my contact at RUK and i quote
"These will NOT be...
My boot lid keeps dropping when open so I ordered some replacement gas struts.
I ordered using my reg number but seem to have received just standard 182 struts as they are too long.
The supplier says they are correct for the car but if I give him a part number he will look at it. Can anyone...
Hi guys.
my n/s/r shocker has failed and lost all its fluid.
would you recommend a refurb or replacement??
i recently called Renault to get one but they don't seem to be able to price me up the correct Sachs damper.
the car is really bad to drive at the moment.
thanks for looking
Hi, I collected my new trophy yesterday (437) and the rear dampers have been changed by one of the previous owners to the normal 182's. I am wanted to go back to the original Sachs ones. Can you still buy new rear Sachs dampers from renault or will I have to hunt else where? Thanks.
Hi guys , I had thought that I would go for the Nitron Damper setup that K-Tec are developing for the Trophy but have read great things about AST.
And I just wondered if anyone on here has them fitted and what they think ?
Cheers
Neil
Well as some of you will know I have just got my new trophy last week (no 451) and thought I would take it to Cit-Ren in Norwich for a checkover and to get some little jobs doing , door switch failed etc etc.
Well I got a nasty surprise , the former keeper has replaced the front Sachs dampers...

Haven't been on here for some time, had a mooch about but no signs of any new dampers around so thought i'd come right out with it. My passenger side has lost its gas for the second time after a rebuild and I remember there was someone on here selling new ones from a Renault dealer for real good...
Hi everyone,
I've been thinking about getting a trophy for the past two or three months now and I'm finally in a position where I can buy one, only thing is the price seems to have risen by about a grand on average for them. I was wondering if there prices fluctuate like this normally or if...
How much are the Alloy pedal pads from a main dealer, does any one know where to but them cheaper, and I will pop rivet them on, my 182 failed the MOT because the brake one was worn.

Had an accident the other week in the Clio, everyone ok, car was driveable, not my fault, but going through as a 50-50 AFAIK.
Body blow today when got a message saying it was a write-off! Damage to passenger side between the axles but am shocked as the coachworks thought it wouldn't be.

Hi everyone. I recently purchased #151 from a very friendly Robert Evans from this forum. It need a few service issues addressed but I'm happy and it drives extremely well. I have been using the search function but I still have a few questions.
1) Brakes pads are 85% worn acording to the MOT...
Hi,
On the hunt for a well cared for trophy.
Did the have any optional extras above standard I should look out for?
Or anything I should steer clear of?
Cheers
Number 17 is up for sale now through a dealer and looks as though it's been well maintained. Paintshield to the front. However in the registered just says RIP as a mark of respect? :(

Hello all, I'm a new user and I am looking to buy a Trophy. I'd like your thoughts on number 45;

I realise it is advertised at a high price but Trophies do seem to variably priced and as this is a low mileage example, I thought this may be...

Hey guys, been a member of cliosport.net for and a while and ive asked the same question on there :)
So.. Not that im really bored of my car but a potential oppertunity has come up. My uncle, a car dealer had a 'job lot' of cars earlier in the year and a trophy was one of them. Ment to go have...
Basically can anyone recommend somewhere to take the Trophy for a service in the North East?
i dont mind a bit of travel to get it to someone who actually knows what they are doing.
last friday we took the wifes new Meagne in for its first service (at what is now newcastles only Renault dealer)...
Been looking at Trophy's for a while and think i've found a bargain only issue is it needs the dreaded front shoxs and a timing belt. I've done a little reading and can anyone clarify if new shocks are available? I know i'm looking at around 500-800 for rebuild and looking at say 400 for timing...
Just just a heads up to say that RUK are placing orders with both sachs and speed line.
Spoke to my RUK advisor today and she has told me that they have placed an order of 48 speed line wheels to be held in UK stock.
I have also asked about the sachs stickers on the shocks once again and she...
