My car is due its tax on the 30th of June and MOT on the 7th July. It needs new exhaust mounts, front and rears. Front tyres and i have now just found a split in one of the back boxes. If i put it in for its MOT without these things done it will fail! Also its about time i had the Dampers...

After owning many Fords and a S1 Elise (briefly), I sold Ford Racing Puma #192 last October to fund a house purchase and I have been driving a standard 1.7 Puma since then. I've always fancied a Trophy, so thought it was about time I bit the bullet and bought one! I've had it nearly three weeks...

I hate those poxy trumpetty things, sounds like a swarm of bees and drives me round the bend! Don't normally watch football; no wonder :-(

Can anyone help me? I have now found a third bearing ball in the footwell...I'm worried it has something to do with the steering which is not rough or stiff when i steer but i have heard a click now & again (prob as the little balls pop themselves out). Just been over to my ever helpfull...

Parked up in Whiley Bay, down Delaval Avenue. Reg T700 PHY. Anyone??

Tinker and I spent 5 hours driving this 1923 Royce back to where we live from Toulouse yesterday in the sun shine, different and very enjoyable !! :D

Hey guys, The Sachs are coming off '380' later as they're booked in with Ben on the 8th. I've noticed a lot of people saying that they've had the struts un-pinned to allow adjustment to the damping. I've had a quote of £25.00 each + vat, is it worth me getting this done while they're away?

A new software from fastchip 'launch control' I dont think il be uploading this calibration onto my ecu, however it only costs 10euro.. http://www.fastchip.nl/vmchk/Clio-2/Vie ... ducts.html ed

Right.... this bloody car has given me the right hump over the last few days, nice driving weather, nice road conditions plenty of ladies wearing v.little. Perfect......Oh wait, the Trophy just wants to sit there and not start, and pretend it's doing me a favour by thinking it's nicked! Bloody...

After owning several 106 gti’s and Saxo vts’s over the years, followed by an impreza, clio 182 cup and a FF 182, I am now stuck with what to buy. I will be honest here I have always wanted a trophy ever since my first RB back in 2007, problem being they were still serious priced at over 10k...

Hi, Can you change the headlights on our cars to the xenon headlight unit on the clio 182. im looking at buying a pair of xenon 182 headlights for my car. Could you let me know Thanks

Hi everyone, i have recently been getting a squeeking sound from what i think is the passenger top mount / all the way down to the wheel ( i cannot pin point where the noise is). It happens when its dry as when its raining the noise goes away so all i can presume is that something needs...

I believe you can get a (?) mechanical Quaiffe diff fitted to a 182...? Around £1000 fitted. Meant to be a very useful mod. Has anyone got any experience/knowledge?

...........briefly spoke to Ben today and my dampers are being returned - he did sound mega busy so didn't have much time to enquire about the problems i've been experiencing recently. He did say that 1 of the dampers had less oil than the other (never seen any leaks :shock: ) which may...

is it a straight swap?

HI iv got a 182 cup 2004, just reasently its started blowing out hot air at what ever temp selected sometimes it works correctly but rarely, the air con works because i can hear it click in when the air con button is pressed, can anybody help please!!??

So this is my latest baby... a Liquid Yellow 182 with a mere 27k on the clock when I picked it up. I love the colour so couldn't resist another one and decided as my use of car is less for commuting and more for fun to make it the perfect spec (in my eyes)... Started with a visit to Charlie @...

Well until the new owner collects his new Trophy tomorrow evening, eh Dave;) Shame we can't afford to keep all 3 (my wife's is the RB), but I'm chuffed to bits with the 200 and I know the T is going to a good home.

as above i know Mr Fish will lower her, 15mm is it?? what about the MF rear konis ? does that get the arse down abit? thanks guys Ross

So how long do you plan on keeping it (meaning Trophies but anyone is welcome) all being well? A car you're going to keep 'forever'? Keep for a long time? Planning on changing? A stop gap? No idea? I have to say I've thought about changing my car in the recent past but little can get near...

Bonjour everyone, thought id share some pics of my 182, had it for a year an a half now, almost had a trophy but insurance was double what it is on the 182 Austin

This has been coming on then going off recently??? Sometimes it won't come on at all if you go out for a drive and other times it will stay on or light up randomly?? I have changed the steering wheel, but had the resistors fitted etc.... Any other ideas Rich

The time has come to part with my Trophy. I actually had it up for sale in Feb & had quite a bit of intrest. But alas I had to withdraw from sale as the the deal on my replacement fell through & a day later my wonderful baby daughter was born..... 8 weeks early. 33K miles Aux Belt Feb 2009...

I have a full Clio trophy sach dampers setup for sale , front and rears refurbed less than 350 miles ago by bg motorsport , if intrested please message me looking around 750.00 refurbishment cost ne 500+ so price is more than fair . Leigh

Had the car up on the hoist at Ren7Oaks last week to check on the exhaust back boxes and dampers, and although the latter are just fine, one of the back boxes has deteriorated further since it was serviced in September 09. Thankfully it isn't blowing yet, and I am still undecided as to what to...

hey ok so i have a question, the trophy has great handling no? that was the point. so why is the 'logo' picture in the top corner got a whole load of body role would another pic not be more appropriate ? tell me to shut up if im wrong, it just seems a bit odd thats all. only food for thought...

driving home today the exhaust monitor warning light comes on when I get stuck in traffic. This goes of when moving. The handbook says go to renault soon as. Anyone else had this, if so does the t need a new exhaust. simon.
