I know Renault seem to get bad reviews amongst people regarding the reliability but during my ownership I have found the Trophy really reliable. I've owned it 3 years and 4 months and had the following issues... Failed Coolant Termperature Sensor Failed Damper Seal Failed CV Boot Clip Thats...

Jus need opinions on this issue please, my Clio fails to start after a long journey but if I leave it for half hour it will start again fine; for example I went on a drive to Oulton park the other week which takes me about 45 mins- 1 hour I parked my car up and got out then had to move my car...

drove the car to the petrol station today and noticed a little puddle under the car towards the back of the engine, im pretty sure its not coolant because it tastes and looks totally plain, we've had a lot of rain lately and now its dry and red hot and at first i thought maybe water had gathered...

Hi guys, I have recently purchased some Cup Racer ducts off a guy on Clio Sport who has been fabricating them from scratch. I have spent the last week or so wet n dry sanding, spraying and finally fitting this weekend. I am really pleased with the results and think they will work really well...

The standard air box seems to have two inlets for air. One with a cold air feed pipe that disappears somewhere underneath the nearside headlamp and another inlet without any cold air feed. Is this right ? Still having trouble with my T :(

Is it enough just to remove the boot lining and parcel shelf or is there more to it?

Many of you may have noticed I have been posting alot of "lack of power" and problems with my trophy topics. Recently I have been having trouble with performance from my T. Last night I noticed a fairly loud noise coming from the engine bay when the ignition was on. I poped the bonnet and...

I'm based in Berkshire and I want to upgrade from 2 to 3 stars so I'm after some guidance on buying a used Trophy. When you bought your used Trophy did you get a professional independent inspection carried out? If so, who did you use & would you rate their service? If not, what did you check...

Currently umming & ahhing about buying an e46 M3 in the next 6 months, so may sell the Trophy at some point ... i have absolutely no idea whats its worth though due to the laughable mileage. FYI, i know whats its worth in bits, but not as a whole, so im just thinking in case someone wanted one...

Does anyone know the Engine Code for the 182? Apparently the wheel alignment place need that to match up the Trophy against the models listed on their machine, and the car is in another garage at the moment.

I've been trauling through suspension threads for the last hour and can't find an answer. Where does everyone buy them from? And, What is 'revalving'? Is it just matching the damping settings to OE spec or is it something specialist that the likes of MF would do? Thanks

when i pull away i get a knock from the front, when i change low gear i get the knock aswell like something is moving backwards as i pull away. after driving about 60 for a few mins the service trac light comes on. i know my suspension needs rebuilt but this wouldnt be the cause of it i dont...

Hi guys. Last week I had my wheels refurbished at the Wheel Repair Centre in Preston, they have done a fantastic job i'm really pleased with the results. They were shot blasted and powdercoated in Anthracite, they are not an exact match as the original paint but are very close, maybe a shade...

Hi guys My T has recently developed a minor problem; on start up (usually during cold weather,early in the morning, etc), the car will not start at the first attempt. It sounds almost as if the immobilser is kicking in, as the engine turns, but doesn't start. However, it starts on the second...

Just took my T out for a drive and it seems to be lacking power. Still accelerating ok but just doesnt feel as if all the powers there. Anyone else experience this ?

While rumagine about underneath the car this evening i noticed a curious dent in the downpipe just above the anti roll bar...the bar appears to be able to fit perfectly into this dent.....seems too much of a coincidence to me!!!!! Has some twat of a mechanic in the car's history lifted the roll...

As per title? I honestly can't see myself selling the little bugger. Took it for a blast on some newly discovered B roads recently and was still absolutley gobsmacked at how bloody good it is. :D I bought a Boxster S six months ago and even though it's a brilliant car, unless you're a...

Good morning all. normally i enjoy the attention i get when i drive the T around however last night, my pride and joy landed me in hot water and now needing new parts. driving home last night back to my student house with friends, we were waiting at lights (those of you who know southampton...

as above, its tempting.

Essentially, on Saturday, somebody parked their rather clean looking Trophy in our car park next to mine, the gf noticed & said, 'that red clio's really nice'. After then explaining to her that it was a Trophy, just like mine, & that under all the dirt, they were both exactly the same colour ...

its been nearly a year since i parted with my trophy and got a clio 200. now im having nightmares and i need a trophy again. maybe end of the year i will start looking but going to go find a completley standard one and this time its for keeps. :D

Saw you while i was filling my car up at tescos in church langley, Harlow, on Friday Morning. I think you are on here and that you used to own a trophy?
