Yesterday my trophy developed this dodgy noise on the way back home from work, it was a pop followed by a scraping/cracking noise of metal on metal. I have checked the rear suspension over pretty thoroughly, and can't find any problems! The only things that i haven't eliminated are the dampers...

I've been told by a Renault dealer that the 2litre in these, presumably all 182s, is supposed to whistle when running...??? And no i don't mean a little rendition of 'my 'ol man's a dustman'!

Hi everyone, I'm a 23yr old Belgian guy, I've always adored the Trophy since I first read about it in Evo. Some things kept me from buying though, as a student my budget is quite limited (low GBP came to the rescue), the fact that it'll be RHD (prepared to live with that) but most of all... I'm...

Stealth tax, eh? Thought they'd said that they'd wait longer before imposing it. Now they've saved the world the only thing left is to ream the British taxpayer a bit more! Brings a new meaning to 'lie back and think of England'. http://www.petrolprices.com/blog/duty-r ... s-110.html

Just been reading on this http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default ... ryId=19541 about the possible production of the RS3, would imagine it would be a awsome car. My issue i saw a awsome looking Audi A3 shape in my local Sainsburys about 1 week ago, from a distance it looked like a S3 but when i...

As 196 is coming up to the annual Permagard top-up I thought I'd get the stone chips and the tiny dent on the bonnet sorted before getting the treatment done. Has anybody used Chips Away - if yes - good or bad reports? Cheers

Hey, does anyone know the name of the manager/director of Renault UK, gotta send a letter to him with reference to a complaint about a local Renault garage which decided to take my car on a jolly when i told them they couldn't!!!! i know his name has been mentioned on here before but cant find...

Unfortunatly I think the wisest thing to do is sell the Williams, as after geting the Trophy, im just not driving it enough and its such a waste having it sitting in the shed and not being driven. 84000 miles Mot'd to end of August In good condition, s/s Exhaust, 8mm magnacore HT leads...

http://news.uk.msn.com/uk/article.aspx? ... d=14887192 The reason accidents occur on these roads you communistical fools is that a) the road surface is usually crap, b) visibility around corners = 0, c) caravaners force drivers to take unnecessary risks because they simply won't get out of the...

Hi all, I know there's been a past discusion on the ball joints etc, but can't seem to find any details. Looking at past posts, it seems that people have just put up with Renault saying you need the complete lower wishbone with the 'BOLTED' on lower ball joint. Anyways, my car has only covered...

Hi! Due to some idiotic driving i need a drivers side mirror or cap painted capsicum red. Please PM me ASAP if you know of someone breaking a trophy, as i desperately need a mirror. Cheers

OK.... so you just bought a £175,000 Ferrari 430 spider what do you do next...? buy a £199 cheap n nasty numberplate !!!! this guy made me smile...he was across 2 spaces as well... t0sser :D

Thought i may as well bring this to the attention of fellow owners, Easytrack are holding a trackday at Cadwell on the 6th of july (monday) it's open pit lane and it's a bargin price of £99 for early bookers, also when you fill your details in, have a look at the multi booking offers, like...

Hi fellas A few of you will already know me from my involvement with Trackaction-Online, we are a trackday enthusisasts website and we also run some of our own track and driftdays which are open to our members and other owners clubs. Our aim is to run good value events with a friendly club...

Does anyone know what would be a fair price to expect for the Trophy interior, that's the front seats, rear bench, door cards, rear cards and all the other bits of plastic rearward of the drivers seat? Sure i saw an old post on here from early 2007 where someone said a pair were fetching £510...

FOR SALE I AM SELLING MY 55 PLATE CLIO 182 TROPHY I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS BUT DUE TO MY NAMED DRIVERS HAVING A CRASH IN THEIR CAR MY INSURANCE IS ON THE RISE. THE CAR IS COMPLETELY STANDARD APART FROM A STAINLESS STEEL CAT BACK EXHAUST AND AN ITG PANEL FILTER EXCELLENT CONDITION INSIDE...

To all those who are looking for a Trophy or have recently purchased one (there seem to be many at present!). What's led you to your purchase?.. Wondering if something specific has sparked interest, like a magazine article or suchlike?

any one on here go to hams hall. ill be there still with my trophy or teg dc2.

Hi I am getting myself a mountain bike shortly and just wondered those of you that have them do they fit in the Trophy Ok? obviously I will remove the front wheel! Cheers

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...

A bit of advice please, One of my headlight bulbs has gone, how easy are these to fit? If i have very little patience or dexterity but also money (!) should i do this myself, or go to a garage to get it done? (To give you an idea of my skills, I fitted the wiper stalk myself, but it took me...

There seems to be a worryingly high number of Trophy's that have had their gearbox replaced. I know most people drive them enthusiastically but the number still 'appears' high considering the relatively low mileage and age of these cars. Am interested to get an idea: 1. How many T's have had...

Well the time has come for me to get rid of the trophy!! was just costing me too much to run being 22 and insurance was through the roof!! Iv had to get rid of her quickly, so traded her in for a 1.2 08 plate corsa sxi!! (piece of crap car, but cheaper to run). i have plans to get another trophy...

Right, well here are the long awaited photos - sorry!!!! :oops: Great meet - only a couple of us but appreciate it was short notice.. We managed to fit in plenty of driving, with a few but not too many Sunday drivers along the way 8) Thanks to Wrighty for being pace car again.. this time...
