Hi everyone, Yet another couple of questions...... The Trophy I bought last Saturday still has 2 months warranty remaining (the advance one), as it was bought by the last owner as a Renault used car only 10 months ago. I'm used to French cars having problems, but as I've still got this...

I get a deep creak/groan sort of noise when pulling away. And no it's not the ABS system, it does it whenever pulling away from a standstill. Only started this week really, and i think it's related to my worn wishbone balljoints. Normally i'd think engine mounts but it dunno. Anyone else had...

Hi, I was driving to work this morning and the service light on my Trophy has just come on. It isn’t actually due for a service for another 2000 miles (35,000) so I’m a bit unsure why it has come on!? Is this something I need to get looked at? Or is the service light something that just...

ok then just to add a bit of humuor to the forum... What is the most rediculess / stupid / unbelivable thing a dealer has ever done / said to yourself... i'll start with this one... when we bought my wifes R27 (ex demo) i asked the dealer to touch up a small scuff on the front wheel, in their...

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...

I recently discovered what was described to me as a "knock controller" when I bought the car, is in fact a Unichip piggyback unit. Great bonus I thought. Since it was originally setup with an open induction kit, I decided to have it remapped at Perfect Touch in Hoddesdon to what I have now, a...

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...

Hi There Had my trophy for around a month now and yesterday ive had my first "real" problem As i left my workplace and was driving down the road the radio turned off, all the dials went a bit mad and the trip computer completley reset itself .... As i drove it down the road i was...

Does anyone know of a problem where the car seems to lack power. My car seems to lack power intermittently. At its worst it drives as if it has around 80 / 90 hp. It has no low down torque meaning it's most noticeable when pulling away or trying to overtake other traffic. It also runs a bit...

Hi guys/gals Looking at getting myself a group N ecu fitted as i have just got a milltek + performance filter want to get the Group N to bring it all together to get a nice little gain will also have the inlet matched too in time. Just wanted to see if anyone can shed some light and tell...

This morning halfway through a journey a light came on, on the dash. It's the light above the green change gear now light. It's orange but i have no idea what the shape is supposed to mean. Bugger all I can do about it now, as i'm off to Amsterdam in 2 hours but it's worrying me.

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

its ok

I was wondering what the bhp per tonne is on a trophy?

:evil: For those of you not up to speed, my coolant temperature needle turned into a disco on My drive round the M25 on Sunday. Would just go all over the place. . . . . Didnt think too much of it, but maybe i should have!!! Was cruising at 30 in 3rd gear today, put my foot on the...

Just had the 'Exhaust Gas Monitor Warning Light' come on. It's a yellow outline of the engine. Completed my journey and car felt fine although I did back off to 50, was on the motorway at the time. Stop and Serve bits didn't come on. Simple question, what does the light mean? The car booklet...
