Anyone going to swap their tyres next month? I'm tempted for peice of mind although i didnt have too much bother last winter.
Do normal clio steelys fit the T btw?
My car has always struggled to start on the first go in cold weather.
Usually one turn of the key fires then dies, second turn is an instant startup.
I have never worried much about it, I just assumed that it was some kind of fuel pressure / priming sort of thing going on.
The only other...
Daydreaming at work and thought others might like to join in/help out, especially if you're as bored as me!!
Current spec is standard, plus:
Wiper stalk mod
Brembo/Ferodo discs & pads
ITG panel filter
One of the rear dampers is on the way out, leaking, so will be replaced with a pair of Koni...
Ok I clearly took that bend a little too tight!

It actually gave me no drama whatsoever and luckily was not far from home.
right, my beef is basically, why are these cars just not worth that much money anymore? for a car as amazing as this to drop from £15,00 in 5 years is pretty shocking, i think asking for £4000, £5000, or even £6000 when selling yours is rediculous. these cars are classic and a piece of history...
Drove my friends quite now heavily modified 172 which has buckets and sabelt wheel and harnesses - makes me think I want to do the same as I hate the driving position of the trophy. I was thinking of some mildly aggressive seats like the sabelt titans which are in the r26r. What's other people done
Went to sainsburys for some food then onward home to eat and chill out, looked in my mirror coming off the roundabout and saw another Trophy sneaking up on me, anyway we both pulled over and had a quick chat, turns out it was #459 but hes apparently not on here or CS, took a quick snap (...
Afternoon all. I would like to know what else I can look at to solve my problem. At the moment where I live ishaving a new metrolink installed so the roads are a disgrace with pot holes, tram lines and general bumps!!
When I'm driving on these roads, the car just makes all kind of noises from...
Hi guys
The sad time has come when I'm going to have to sell my Trophy. I don't really want to but I've just bought a Lotus Elise and can't justify owning two cars. My question is, what's it worth? It's an 06 plate, but it's done 102k miles (mostly motorway driving so they've been "kind"...
Its time for some new rear pads. I can only presume that the ones that i have on now are the original! I think they have done well!! They are pretty much down to the metal now.
I would just like to ask - Where would be the cheapest place to get both discs and pads?? I will replace the discs as...
So I was driving home on my lunch break, nothing out of the ordinary, came off a roundabout and went to merge in, when all of a sudden some white van man quite some distance backl decides to floor it and undertake me whilst flashing his lights beeping and gesturing quite angrily towards me!
So...
Hello all,
Been looking at the forums for a while now under an old user but forgot my login.
I test drove a clio trophy about 18 months ago now and fell in love with the car.
At the time i was driving a modded fiesta ST150 which i then sold and didnt buy another car due to having a company...
Hey guys,
I have tried to get a 197 steering wheel onto the trophy. I'm using Renault Peterborough and they can get it on and modified the cruise control ok but 2 problems.
1) the back of the steering wheel rubs on the coweling. (apparently this can where the steering wheel)
2) steering felt...

Is this normal ?? When driving (more noticeable in 5th gear going down motorway) if i come off the throttle the T makes a quiet hissing type noise from I think is coming from engine bay. If I then go back onto the throttle noise disappears !!
What is it ??
My trophy's recently started making a creaking noise which looks to be coming from the drivers side suspension. You can hear it when driving over any slight bumps in the road and especially over speed bump. Also today noticed what must be a slow puncture as the pressure on this tyre was down to...

my white 3 door after some tw4t nicked a bus at 2am, this was the aftermath:

Unfortunately, the time has come where I can't put this off any longer, it is with great regret that I am offering my Trophy up for sale.
I need a 5 door car, as running my 16 month old daughter around in the back is just not practical, and with a long term back injury, I find it painful...
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...
I need a little help from someone in the know ,my Trophy's devolped a faut code on the little dash display. looks like a p (ish) Something like 'P---.
What is this, a nomal mechanics obd reader doesn't pick up any fault, but the renault display says otherwise?? Can anybody help me? :?

Yesterday at about 6:45pm on dual carriage going past Tower Park in Poole A3049 I think it is. Didn't get the plate as couldnt see out the back due to my bike, but we got a little Trophy convoy going.
Love driving the Trophy, but feel like a bus driver :)
Think some lower bucket seats would complete it, what options are there and what experience have people had with them?
Tonight. I was in a red Seat Arosa (dont ask) and did flash a few times.
If you didn't have mud flaps then I would think my T had been stolen a lot more. Ha,ha.
