drive

I bought this car in November and have only just got it back from the garage The previous owner had put Gaz suspension on it,then lowered it and to add insult to injury put 195 tyres on it for the "streched" look. Needless to say it didn't drive as a Trophy should. Thankfully its now back to...

Hey people, i have been looking around for a while regarding an exhaust replacement for my 182 and have settled on the rs 192. After reading many good reports from users on here and listening and watching youtube clips of them when fitted its seems like a good option. Will be...

I'm thinking of selling my 3rd trophy as i've recently started having to commute to work and have since bought a diesel. As the trophy is just sitting on the drive, i thought it would be best to sell up. 46000 miles 55 plate 100% standard Trophy spec Michelin PE2 tyres Taxed 03/11 MOT 02/11 but...

Hi i have always said on all my cars i have owned if engine required major repair i.e. piston bent valve etc.. I would put uprated internals in and bolt a turbo on (if only it was that easy:-)) Just woundered wat peoples views are on turbo trophy? (Just to add there is nothing wrong with the...

Right guys I'm considering swapping my wheels. My Trophy is a second car and if I'm honest it all ways will be. The plan is to downsize to 15"Alloys, I only ever use the car in the dry so figured I could get away with a set of road legal track tyres, which would also cover the handful of...

Hi guys, just wondering if any specific region has its own regional leaders who organise meets etc? I know of 4 trophy's in the North-East and have seen others driving around and would love to all meet up but nobody seems to organise anything. If there isnt anyone then maybe its something to...

Hi, Well it that time where I have to get the belts (timimg etc)done... what belts get done and how much does it normally cost.. Renault are quoting £658. Does that sound resonable or should i look around. regards, jsthomson

Okay, for one reason or another I long longer have easy access to a PC so I suppose its time I bit the bullet and got laptop'd up. Don't really know a great deal so what should I be looking for in a good one etc etc. As for budget, I would rather not be spending huge amounts but will for a good...

Hi all, My partner has opted for self employment and as I have not used my car since September, I am looking to sell my Trophy to cover the everyday bills. As you will see below, the car has never gone short. I am in two minds about selling it and will be genuinely sad to see it go. Car &...

Hi Guys and Girls, Can you please help and explain what the Exhaust Gas Monitor Warning light 'Flashing' actually means in English. The eplanation in the handbook is as helpful as usual. Can I drive the car slowly to the garaga 3 or 4 miles away? The tempature gauge has been fluctuating...

Hope you all have a good Christmas. BTW i haven't got any brakes. Peddle has gone very hard and there is very little braking effect at all. Goes in on the 4th. :cry:

Hi all, My trophy has only been averaging between 26-28mpg recently where usually its easily 33-35mpg. Around a month ago I put a decat on it, do these affect mpg that much? Or could it be the lambda sensor? may have got damaged when putting in the decat?

Driving at night who puts there fogs on every time ?

For sale is my much loved 2003 VW Lupo Gti in Tornado Red. Selling due to recently buying a Trophy. The Lupo is currently on 87,450 miles but will go up as it is used to commute daily (nearly all motorway miles currently averaging 44MPG). It has only had 2 previous owners before me and...

I'm thinking of buying a couple of Mich PE3's as the fronts need replacing. Rears have covered at least 15,000 miles but have good tread. Do you, A) Replace the fronts with the new tyres? Or B) Switch the partially worn tyres on the rear to the front, and put the new tyres on the rear. ?

Hi, Thought I'd sign up here to get some info from Trophy owners before I test drive some. I currently own a Peugeot 106 Rallye 1.3 which I really like and recently thought I would never sell as it does almost everything that I want in a car(no I dont want comfort!)-steering feel, chassis...

Hello! My first post on here and was just hoping for a bit of information to help me along the way. Thinking of selling my 172 cup and wanting to upgrade to a 182 trophy, i've looked at alternatives and feel the 182 trophy would be a great choice for me - has anyone else had a similar...

Hello, I need to change the Passenger Side outer CV Boot this weekend. Does any one know if this means taking the drive shaft out? Any help/tips are much appreciated. Cheers Andy :)

Okay so I decided not to renew the tax on my T at the end of October as i'm anticipating another horrendous winter with bucket loads of salt being spread on the roads. Not a great thing to have plastered all over my lovely refurbished sachs dampers :) So I SORN'd my T online and it's kept off...

I have a powerflow catback system which was fitted mid 2009 by previous owner I believe. It is very loud IMO which I like but I've recently become aware of a rattling audible at idle and when coasting. I had a look and all I can say is that when you "pat" the left backbox there is said rattle...

Very good driver... totally committed. Two videos edited together. Wait for the second one. Made me smile all the way through. They take yards out of an E36 on braking and into the corners. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCv2C00s ... 1&index=12
