Mine runs out in december just got a price to continue with renault and they want £500 FOR 1 YEAR, or £800 for two years thats quite expensive i thought.
Took off the car as she is going to a new home
Can be fitted in 10 minutes and is the only mod I would say is a must for the Trophy - allows you to change the speed of the intermittent wipe. The standard Trophy stalk wipes the screen every nanosecond on the intermittent setting
Had the MOT done yesterday and when I picked it up the exhaust gas monitor light was on (engine shape symbol on the vertical right hand side).
What may have caused this, will it go out and can I blame it on the garage or just one of those things that happen during MOT's?
Renauly want £50 to...
as some of the trophys are now due there first mot i thought it would be good to see what miles everyones done in them. mines done just over 27,000 which isnt too bad for a nearly 3 year old car. bout average i think, anyone got a really high mileage one and any under 10,000 miles?
My Clio has started to flash at me :( now and then when the car is stationary and running (such as waiting at some lights) the emissions light starts to flash but the car runs perfectly. I thought it was to do with the de-cat i had but i removed that a few months back and its still doing it...
I have a major problem :( Not really sure what to do. Driving home form work on Saturday, the emissions warngin light came on and the car sounded oncredibly unhealthy. (i thought it sounded like a steam train...)
Got towed home by the rac, and they have said it has blown a spark plug. The guy...
EXTENDED WARRENTY???
Warrenty on my 163 2005 runs up in august, i have heard about extending the warrenty.
hw do i go about this and how much is it likely to cost me???
The part number for the ECU bracket that breaks is 7701471821, so Renault Mill Lane Aldershot say, but I don't know if I believe them. If you book the T into a dealer to have the bracket repaired under warranty this is the number to quote in advance for the part.
Just had my entire morning...

As above....boot wont lock
both front doors lock fine though. Alarm still works fine too (i opened the boot when the front doors were locked and it went off!!)
Any ideas? Possibly a wiring fault, maybe a dodgy solenoid in the lock?
Thanks Guys
Im looking to lower the Trophy 10mm all around with a set of Eibach pro lowering springs, however, I cant find any on the internet, I saw a set on K-Tec which lowered the 182cup 20mm on the front and 15mm on the back, am I right in saying this would lower the trophy 10mm on the front and 5mm at...
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has suggestions on selling my Trophy..
I spoke to allvehicles.co.uk and they offered me £8k. Also went into Renault DSG Morecambe and after being asked if it was a 172 or 182 three times and several references to it being called a cup(!) they offered me...
Coming home from work tonight i was doing about 20 in 3rd, let off the throttle (expecting to slow down due to engine breaking) but just kept going! so I knocked it out of gear and the engine was revving at a constant 2000revs. Little dap on the throttle and the engine started 'coughing' until...
Time for the 24000 mile service. Saw a thread recently singing the praises of a Renault Dealer in surrey - was it Croydon? I can't find it now, can someone tell me which one it was, please?
Or shallI take the car to Rentech? Guarantee still runs until December 2008 and I have to get the seat...

so the 1st of the trophys will soon be comming out of warranty...i was thinking of extending the warranty in May but wondering if it will be worth it...i'm thinking mainly about the shocks but i'm sure the dealers will wriggle out of any issues with them quoting the universal dealer "wear &...
Hi all, I had 218 for just over a week and enjoying every moment of it. I had a Clio 172 previously a few years ago so have an idea of Clio ownership. In between then an now had an Audi A4 1.8T Quattro and a BMW325i but needed something smaller and a little cheaper to run and of course to have...

I tried pressing the ESP button but it made no difference, the light stayed on.
After parking up for lunch i came back and on starting the...
Hi Folks,
While driving my girlfriends Trophy for the first time in ages the other night I was doing maybe 80MPH when I changed from 5th to 4th & put the throttle to the floor. Lots of smoke came out of the exhaust - after double checking it (repeated the gearchange) the same thing happened...
A few weeks ago when driving home I managed to do the impossible and spin the Trophy!!
I was on a road with little grip and was unfortunate that it was very cold, damp and signs of somekind of oil type fluid on the road. As I spun the car I hit the kerb which forced the rear wheel under the car...
