dealers

Here's another quick question!!! ;) My Trophy is Superguarded from the dealers, but I want to clean it and Zymol it today! Should the Zymol products strip back the Superguard, or do I need an additional cleaner/solvent to get rid of it?

Just getting out of the car earlier i noticed that the handle on the left hand side of the seat was hanging out further than it should be. Upon trying to fix it i was left with the whole rod mechanism in one hand, and the bit of plastic you turn to adjust the seatback position in the other. I...

Would you take your car back to the dealers to fix the same problem and what would you do if they could not fix it .

Hello, My name is James, I have a Subaru Impreza WRX STi-8, with various modifications, which have upped the power to 487bhp :) However, although this has made the car bonkers fast (sub 4 to 60:)) this has made the car rather expensive to run, and its becoming a bit much as a daily driver. My...

Once or twice recently I have been offered cars by dealers whose owners contribute to the forum. You're welcome to contact me if you are about to part-exchange yours as on recent occasion I have out bid a dealer p/x offer, enabling the owner to deal on the new car from a stronger position, as...

Gave the Trophy it's first clean today, 4 hours and still not quite finished Apologies for my not quite perfected photography skills! :oops:

Known locally amongst trade friends as 'Le 182 Bunker', I now have a unit to store cars available, cleaned and ready to go. As you may be aware, I don't just sell Clio Trophies, but really enjoy driving Trophy and Cup models - hence the bias towards them. e.g "Don't buy a Cooper S Works until...

Woo Hoo, 10,400 miles of fun fun fun driving. Only a few small problems, (being hit up the arse and the dodgy sensor). But all in all i love the Trophy. Will be staying for a long while. Should reach 12,000 by next week. Nice trip to France on Thursday. lol

The rectangular electrical plug dangling in the top left of my boot: is that for fitting (optional) rear speakers to, or does it have some sinister purpose I haven't yet detected?

Which dealer in the Surrey area would be best to get the stereo buttons on the steering wheel fixed? I've heard all sorts of horror stories about different dealers.

i have just took my trophy in to the dealers for the first time for a rattle behind the dials , a rattle on the front passenger seat , a knocking noise under the car and a problem with the rear brakes . when i picked it up the dealer had replaced the seat rallies a clamp on the exorcist they...

Just wandering if anyone knows what a 55 plate Trophy is worth with 3500miles on the clock. The car is mint and has only been driven by the wife. I would appreciate any ideas on how much its worth trade and private

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/63455.htm £12k!

I've just pinned down the latest rattle from the car, it's down to the Recaro seat. At the front of the seat just where the back of your knees go there is an extendable section, an it is this section that is causing a loud rattle. It's fine with a passenger because they put pressure on the seat...

I work for a Renault Dealer in Salisbury, and we have got a cancelled order 182 Trophy here on a 55 PLtae. It is number 50/500, as new condition and has just done over £7k. They have got it advertised for somewhere in the region of £13995. If you have any questions PM me or reply to this...

Test-driving the £12995 trophy out of Renault in Coulsdon this Friday and boy am I going to wring it's neck out! I figure I'm going to head South towards Merstham on the A23 then return via the country roads through Chipstead that run parallel to the A23 to ensure that my passenger will...

A quick question I wonder if anyone could help me with. I have a small problem with 104 :( Symptoms: - Under hard acceleration in 1st and 2nd I get a noise from under the car, seems to be below and between footwells, once past maybe 4,500 rpm. - But doesn't happen if I accelerate slowly...

Pulled up outside a restaurant in Brighton on Thursday night, and my fiance went to open the passenger door and had it literally wrenched away by the wind. It was wet, and freezing, so didn't check it out until yesterday. Basically the door still closes, but it doesn't quite sit right. Feels...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are there any trophys left - prereg or low mileage ones? (Have part exchange so private sale is probably out of the question)

As per the topic titled, my intermittent problem with my water/coolant temp gague have now developed into a constant issue, and now the car does not ever register the correct temp - which at least should make it easier for the technicians to identify the problem! Will get the car booked in...

I quite fancy a replacement Cat Back system, I think the trophy could have a far nicer bark to it then the standard exhaust, it sounds way too 'mechanical' at the moment. I've been looking around and it seems a lot of people recommend ProSpeed. I saw GaryG's 182 at the Bedford trackday and it...

My first post! :D Erm... in all the pics of Trophies I've seen, all the cars have a small black splitter under the front valance. Mine brand spanker (No. 236) dosen't!!! How can this be? Did Renault stop fitting them part way through the build run :?: P.S. Got a VR4 for sale if anyone...

In Australia it was common practice to cover/remove registration plates during a track session so as to not allow dealers to know the car was on a track and void warranty. Do any of you guys know what the stand is on warranty being void as a result of a track day (and proof of, e.g. by online...

Need some work in as its all dried up at the moment :( Anyway thats good news for the Clio Trophy forum Offers as follows 1) 25 point inspection, oil and filter change and a wash for £60 inc. VAT Genuine parts used, check of lights/levels/steering/suspension/brakes/wipers...

Hello all Picked up the Trophy (no.196) on tuesday. WOW !! Tought my 182 cup was good but this is something else !!

Had my car booked in today to my local dealers 'Masters of Beckenham' for an oil change and to fit some Goodridge brake hoses. I received friendly service from them with all the work being carried out to my satisfaction at a very reasonable previously agreed price - they even cleaned the car...

:shock: :shock: left a roundabout at full gas in second going up a small twisting hill road in my town when i went to let off approaching a bend the throttle stayed stuck to the floor as i pushed the clutch the car was revving to the limiter like a mother fucker had to quickly turn the engine...

I'm looking to upgrade the bulbs in my Trophy. I've been on to the www.powerbulbs.co.uk website and the vehicle search only goes up to 2004 clios and recommends the following; Indicator PY21W Low Beam H7 High Beam H1 I'm considering Philips Vison Plus for the H1 & H7 and...

was looking on autotrader and came across a dealer who was selling a 1994 m reg BMW M3 convertible. Avis blue. silver leather and blue canvass hood. 1 owner FBMWSH and just 12500 miles!! Anyway, went to have a look - was up for 12995 and he offered me a straight swap. Was really really...

If anyone is looking to buy a Trophy and can not find one, there is one for sale at Renault Ilford, it is no. 49x something can't remember but one of the last 6. According to the guy at Renault there are only 3 available now and all of them the dealerships bought. Would be nice to track down the...
