The additional power from a nitrous system can be very addictive and because its such a simple job to increase the power (quickly changing a couple of jets), most users decide to take quick steps up the power ladder. It must however be remembered, that each step places increased demands on the...

Hi, I was driving to work this morning and the service light on my Trophy has just come on. It isn’t actually due for a service for another 2000 miles (35,000) so I’m a bit unsure why it has come on!? Is this something I need to get looked at? Or is the service light something that just...

ok then just to add a bit of humuor to the forum... What is the most rediculess / stupid / unbelivable thing a dealer has ever done / said to yourself... i'll start with this one... when we bought my wifes R27 (ex demo) i asked the dealer to touch up a small scuff on the front wheel, in their...

Hi all, My first fault with number 019 and sods law its only 2 months out of warranty... D'OH! #-o Any way, I'm almost certain its a fault with the Coolant Sensor but i wanted to check to see if anyone else has had the problem before i go and part with some cash at a dealer somewhere...

As per the thread title. A chance to showcase the results of hours of your hard work spent modding, cleaning and polishing - or not as the case may be ................. [attachment=1:2434n74y]eng1m.jpg[/attachment:2434n74y] [attachment=0:2434n74y]eng2m.jpg[/attachment:2434n74y]

Guys can you give me your opinions on the above, been thinking of getting something but just not sure what's a good move, dont want to blow a load of cash for nothin really. Thanks

I finally have just had a look. Main visual changes are to the inlet manifold - fatter and shorter, which is obviously intended to help the top end - looks like the lower half may be the same as the 182, coils built into plug caps and modified head casting/cam cover to accommodate more...

Sorry to keep bombarding with all the questions of late... :lol: I'm after some more advice and opinions again please. Following a recent trip to the Lake District my partner and I have noticed that the Trophy isn't quite as 'spritely' as usual so I carried out the usual checks (i.e. the...

Hi all just wonder how many of you had had the ecu mounting bracket snap? I had mine replaced under warranty about 3 months ago and its gone already. Renault informed me it had already been done once before. its not a massive problem as not making any rattle like i've heard from some people but...

eariler on today my emissions warning light came on so i rang an old friend to have a look at it, he told me that disconnecting the battery then reconnecting it might make the light go off..it didnt having waited 20 mins then plugged battery in still didnt work, so will need diagnostics check...

What are the commons things that go on a Trophy? I've heard something about the engine mounts, passenger recaro rail and the ecu bracket. The reason I ask is because my warranty runs out in a month or so and I'd like to try and get some of these things done before then. Thanks in advance

Think its time to remap my trophy, but which one had a mini one b4 and remapped it with Superchip (bluefin) n was great n never had any problems with it. has any1 tired Superchip remappin on there trophy??

Somewhere between getting to work and going home someone has keyed the n/s rear quarter of my lovely trophy :( It's not too deep so i'm hoping that once i get my mate over with his paint depth gauge, udm, makita etc, he'll get it out and make it look like new!It's a large car park just for our...

Had the MOT done yesterday and when I picked it up the exhaust gas monitor light was on (engine shape symbol on the vertical right hand side). What may have caused this, will it go out and can I blame it on the garage or just one of those things that happen during MOT's? Renauly want £50 to...

fix that ECU bracket by simply putting 2 washers behind the M10 nut, holding it in place...problem sloved

Had the MoT done this morning and got the ECU bracket fixed under warranty. Mill Lane in Aldershot were much better this time round (I think). Allowed me to watch MoT no problem. Also consulted me and talked me though what they were going to have to do to get the ECU bracket to fit. I don't...

The part number for the ECU bracket that breaks is 7701471821, so Renault Mill Lane Aldershot say, but I don't know if I believe them. If you book the T into a dealer to have the bracket repaired under warranty this is the number to quote in advance for the part. Just had my entire morning...

my mum has treated an early birthday present giving me some money so i could get a remap, the closest place is gdi its only 20 miles where i live but been told the best place is is rstuning in leeds, and got told having a custom remap is better to suit your car than a group n. is there any...

I recently discovered what was described to me as a "knock controller" when I bought the car, is in fact a Unichip piggyback unit. Great bonus I thought. Since it was originally setup with an open induction kit, I decided to have it remapped at Perfect Touch in Hoddesdon to what I have now, a...

as its a nice day i went for a drive around the countryside and thought about cutting a hole so my induction could breath better, do you think this could devalue the car and even damage the engine if it rains, dont want water sucking in the engine

i might be thinking of buying some billet fast road cams for my trophy as k tech racing say it gives more torque and power gains of 12-15 bhp. does anybody have these fitted to there trophy or clio 172/182? would it affect the handling as i dont want to ruin a perfectly good handling car f

Hello everyone. My Trophy has had a problem for the past two weeks :( I'll start from the beginning. Around two weeks ago i went to Renault Leicester to get a small interior light fixed (the illumination for the mirror controls on the drivers' door). Turned out that it doesn't even have a light...

Just had the 24,000 mile service carried out at Mark Fish, but with only 22k on the clock and he's found that the n/s lower ball joint is shot! Mark thinks it should be covered by the warranty but the by the reaction i received when booking the car in at Renault i'm not so sure they share his...

heard the 3 year / 36k service was a big one...anyone had this done lately..? wondering what its likely to cost at the dealers...? :(

has anybody been to gdi tuning to get anything done to there car? i wanna get a group n remap and inlet manifold, that will be the last mods i want on my trophy, just want to know if there any good or are is there anywhere else thats just as good or better? i live in northamptonshire east...

Guys Been looking into upgrading my brakes, (even more so now because both front and rears are really worn), still mulling over whether i want a semi track set up and go down the Pagid blue/brembo HC set up, however I may want to just plump for a fast road use set up instead. I stumbled upon...

Just order a Milltek exhaust, De Cat and KnN (Hi Gen II) induction kit for No 142!! :lol: Anyone else had any experience of these products? Cheers Guys Chris

For quite a while now i've been hearing a rattle from the front end of the car somewhere, really annoying, checked allsorts under the car,anyway was giving 474's engine bay a clean and noticed this (how i missed it before i don't know) sorry about the mahoosive pics. hopefully you know what your...

Ive been in contact with Henk from fastchips and asked the question do other re-maps, k-tec etc, peform better than his, he recons they dont produce as much as stated on the box. He told to me to get one and upload it using the RS Pro to see the difference. My question is does anyone have any...
