    Hi all. I have had a problem with my central locking since I bought the Trophy in November. The problem is that the central locking keeps locking and unlocking itself madly whilst driving and its become a lot worse as time has gone on. I have tried researching all over the internet what it could...

    No more quality coverage of F1

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/9550930.stm Looks like from next season the F1 coverage will be back to advert breaks and shoddy presenters again :( I don't know what the viewing figures are for F1, but I would imagine with three British drivers and some of the most...

    The answer to my handling problem...

    Over the last 3/4 weeks I've been having a handling problem with the Trophy. Everything felt fine until I entered a left hand bend and I would turn the wheel but instead of turning in sharply the car would take a very wide path no matter how much I turned the wheel. I checked the tyre pressures...

    Height Adjustable Drivers Seat?

    Hi, I'm looking to buy a Clio Trophy but wanted to know whether the drivers seat is actually height adjustable? Ive looked up on various guides and they all state is it but looking on previous post on here it seems the recaro seats arent adjustable? I figured this is the best place to ask seeing...

    Wow - a week on the German Autobahns.

    Well even after nearly 6 years of ownership this little pocket rocket still surprises me. I know how quick it is on a B road, but in a straight line i always thought it slightly underpowered to take on the great and good of Germany's finest but boy was I wrong. 100 octane racing fuel on board...

    The ultimate giant killer! Evo magazine

    Ok so there is only a paragraph on the Trophy in the new Evo magazine so probably not worth buying if you're not a regular reader, but they list 6 giant killing road cars which the Trophy tops with a closing comment of "It's our ultimate giant-killer" It's a good day to be a Trophy owner!

    Oil change - the quick and easy way

    Trackdayers on here?

    Just wondering how many of the Trophy drivers on here did regular or occasional trackdays? Trophies are certainly built for the job and go really well on track but I've had no replies on the event thread I started here and the trackdays forum seemed a bit quiet generally :-k . I assumed there...

    hi, Anyone breaking a Clio on here? I need the plastic bit that sits on the top of the (drivers) door that you push the top of the door card into - I was fitting my new Full Fat Door Cards, and the plastic shattered. Failing that, anyone know the part number for a new one from Renault? Cheers, Ad

    Brake Ducts

    I'm after anyone's experiences with fitting brake ducts in the Clio fog light holes. Does it make a worthwhile difference to brake cooling? Did you fit a collar on the front facing straight ahead to help catch the air or just ducting back from the holes? I imagine that fitting the ducts from a...

    Extending the life of Recaro seats

    I spent a useful afternoon in the garage today changing over the Recaro seats in my Trophy. Its done a few miles now and although the drivers seat is still very good, I thought I would even up the wear by swapping the seats over. hopefully this will extend their life somewhat as the drivers...
