dealers

dont get me wrong but we need to do something about the owner register.... its great having the whole forurm thing where we can post questions about our car,but the free access to the owner register raises questions... just say your car has some strange fault ...maybe it cuts out a few times...

Can we compile a list of the different Renault specialists for easy reference? I need tyres, pads, a service and whilst I'm at it I might as well get a full alignment done. Being in Kent I'm thinking of taking a day off and shooting down to RenTech in Portsmouth, stopping at MichelDever Tyres...

Hi, Booking car in for service and enquired about prices if I provide my own oil. Woman tried telling me I need 5.5 litres of oil. I've done a search on past threads and I can't find any mention of needing more than 5 litres. The oil change guide in the forum suggests you only need 4.75...

I'm finding selecting 3rd gear is getting a bit 'clunky'? As I move the stick towards 3rd it hits some resisdence and then pops through and slots into gear? Anyone else had anything similar? I'll probably run it into the dealers in the next week or so to see what they say!

Hi all, In the run-up to 56 Plate I have been offered an increasing number of possible trade-ins by dealers. Many replicate existing stock. I've just repriced this car to sell. The link is below. The details are also in my weblog. If you or anyone want a bargain 'as-new' 2005/05 Clio 182...

Hi I need to get a new windscreen fitted to my Trophy. I've spoken to my insurance company who have arranged with the RAC to come and fit a new one next Thursday. The trouble is the lady on the phone did not have a 182 Trophy on her list, I explained that the car does not come with rain...

Nik aka T28 PHY Saw you passing the pub just south of Hendy Ford/Southampton Audi at about 16:30. I was driving a VW Caddy van with a wavy green stripe along the side and only had the wherewithall to point and stare!

Test drove a 197 today while my Trophy was in for its 12K service. Dealer allowed me to really 'test' the car, staying away from dual carrageways in favour of a few miles of twisting country roads. Plus points for me... Cant argue with the claims of better build quality - it felt like a...

Ok, a hot topic which has been covered in different ways, but for those of you that have had a service or have one coming up in the not so distant future, i'm just trying to find out where you've had yours done/where you'll choose. I'm at 11000 miles so mine isnt far away. I've heard good...

Anything considered, no dealers, no high milers or silly prices thankyou. May even go for a Trophy if price is right. Cash buyer..............................no unwanted px here. 07900 326697 or 07990 593985 Steve

It was £121.23 with me providing the oil. What has everyone else paid? It has only just clocked up 10,000 miles but I have decided to get it done early. Also, how many miles have you had from the front tyres before having to replace them? Brian

Do Trophys come with locking wheel nuts as standard :?:

I have to say the were fantastic (no Im not on mind bending drugs). I requested that they did the body work check while I was there so they could not say "well that dent was there when we got it" :shock: There was no tutting they just did the check straight away and recorded the milage etc...

I've found a trophy that is only 12miles from my location opposed to the 100miles+ for other Trophys i'm looking at - Great! ..but he wants £13750 for a 5000miler (which i am no way going to pay). I know they were listed at £15500 but i expect that most got them for £14500 odd? I...

Now don't shoot me, but I'm a Civic Type R driver, had one for 4 years and looking for a change. Been considering a cup for a while, and now that Trophies are starting to 'possibly' fall into my price range, I thought I'd do some research! Now there's no doubting the looks, performance...

OK, so I don't have an encyclopaedic knowledge of cars, but I was driving along today thinking how glad I was that the UK (and Switzerland) were considered worthy of being sold Tropies. Then I got to thinking about what special variants of cars we'd missed out on, that other nations had got...

Silly question: When putting someone/something in the back seat, my drivers seat flips forwards and slides forward, whereas my passenger seat only flips, i.e. doesn't slide. Is this normal, or is the passenger seat defective?

I've had my Saxo vtr from new for 6years and can now afford\justify a new car, i've always loved the RS clios since the 16valvers from the 90's, so me and the misses have decided that the Trophy is the one (cant afford a corsa vxr, clio 197 cup or 207 GTI rallye thing when they all come out)...

Corneyman's has had to pul onto hard shoulder. He has a fluctuating temperature gauge and is waiting for Renault Assistance. He has asked for your help. Has anyone had a problem with their temperature gauge. If so could let me know what the the problem was so he can pass it onto Renault when...

This weekend I was driving around with the window down, and noticed that i am getting a rattling creaking noise from the window. It is fine when it is all the way up/down, but when it is in between the noise starts. It is starting to do my head in :evil: Any ideas. Steve

I had my 12k service free because my beloved car broke down on day one lol did everyone have havoline fuel treatment done to there car at the dealers? I didn't know what they did i just had a certificate for it. Tell u what tho the car felt so much better after the service and having this fuel...

Had the 1st 12000 miles service on friday, luckily i didnt pay for the service because when i picked it up the guys in the garage had spilt petrol in the car and it stank, so as a good will gesture they picked up the cost. Also, any ladies/gents had the problem with the spray paint rubbing...

just been into benfield scotswod road this morning for a touch up pen for the trophy...they just got 2 197s in yesterday....black and silver... the black looks very like the mk1 172 black pearl which was so much nicer on the eye than the 182 black gold metallic,i think this is the best colour...

its ok

Hi all, a little off subject allowing something from our footballing nemesis on the forum but needs must! I have this interesting MINI Cooper S in stock and it's something else to drive. Certainly something somebody from ClioTrophy may know a good home for. The full details are here...

I have had my car at the dealer for a while now to see if they could find out why the lamps come on after cornering as posted early last month Turns out thay havehad to order a new steering rack as the car was unsafe to drive!!! ANY ONE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM MUST GET IT SORTED OUT...

We have a lesser clio model in our family - a 1.2 16V. I'm 6'4" and whilst the driving position is ok, heal and toe is virtually impossible. How do the seats differ in terms of height in the 182 and trophy? Are they much lower and alow more room directly under the steering wheel for heel and...

got a few thing sto sort out, 1) Emissions warning light started flashing today, not too serious I would hope, since I've got a bit of driving to do before I go in next week 2) Boot catch broken 3) Very lumpy idle for the first few minutes when the car is first turned on. Impossible to...
