engine

well i say at it again,even though this is my first experience of some rather questionable service standards. I took my T to a local Renualt dealer for pure convenience on my part i must add, just to finish off the last parts of a service. on returning to pick up the T and with paperwork and...

As I was moving cars about & an opportunity to take a quick pic presented itself. The Trophy next to my Lancia integrale EVO & our recently purchased EP3 Civic Type-R Premier Edition.

Hellooo i've got a bit of a problem with my clio, it doesn't start - all the electrics are working but the engine doesn't even tick over... Any ideas why? :cry:

can anyone tell me where about the horn is in the engine bay? i wanted to try and clean the connectors, my horn works when the car is still but only when pressed on one side of steering wheel, but when moving, it never works. its quite annoying especially if someone is rolling back towards you...

My first post & a sad one. I've had my Trophy (#61) for a v enjoyable year & took it for its first track day with me the Saturday before last at Lydden Hill, having just had the expensive full cam/aux belt done. Unfortunately it seems to have blown a valve & my local Renault dealer that I...

wanting to put a sub into my 182 but cant seem to find a way for the power cable to get from the battery to the inside of the car..anybody got any ideas? and help much appreciated!

Firstly, thanks to James & Tom at JMS, despite having to be on the Eurotunnel at 6am this morning, James was bleeding my brakes at midnight last night - mostly thanks to another of our friends bringing in a last minute brake related emergency/c0ck up i might add ... IR tired. So, the work done...

Well even after nearly 6 years of ownership this little pocket rocket still surprises me. I know how quick it is on a B road, but in a straight line i always thought it slightly underpowered to take on the great and good of Germany's finest but boy was I wrong. 100 octane racing fuel on board...

55 plate trophy,with a srtipped out rear and harnessed up recaro's looked a clean example ,my trophy was parked up

Hi, Newbie just signing on and wanted to introduce myself. I'll be on the lookout for a Trophy or possibly a 182 with both Cup packs and recaros as a daily driver. I have a S1 Elise for the weekend, although I'm expecting that if what I read about the Tropy and 182 is right, I might be using...

Spotted on Tuesday morning around 8am at Spaldwick just off the A14. Was too excited to wave or flash and my car share thought I was a bit mental. Will be doing that route myself daily when I get my Trophy. There are some cracking corners on the way down to Kimbolton and the B660 & B645.

Hi everyone , Wondered what your thoughts about engine oils ? I'm going to change the engine oil my self. What do you think is the best oil to use? Your response will be greatly appreciated Joe

I have for sale a nice white 16v on a K plate, so actually phase 1.5 but close enough. I have just done the cambelt, clutch, waterpump, thermostat, oil/filter, gearbox oil, pas fluid, sparkplugs, airfilter, coolant inc flush and new header. Mot'd last weekend so has 12 months MOT on it. No...

Did an oil change last night using my old Pela pump that draws the oil out through the dip stick hole. Bish, bash, bosh, all done in 20 minutes without touching a jack, axle stand or getting oil anywhere. Filled the car with 5l of Halfords 5/40 fully synth and since I needed new screw drivers...

Hi Guys, Looking for some help... Last night I was driving my T and when changing gears it sounded like I was slipping the clutch (when I wasn’t) so I put it into neutral and the car revs didn’t drop they stayed at 2000rpm. I pulled into my drive way and it was still revving constantly at...

Just wondered is the same rubbish that was on ebay a while back? I don't think it's worth 5,500, in my opinion, what does anyone else think? Probably worth that much to someone who has never heard of a trophy. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2005-RENAULT-CLIO ... 519wt_1139

Hi, I test drove a Megane 250 Cup and Clio Sport 200 back to back today and I can't decide which is better. The car will mainly be a daily driver with occasional trackday use. The handling of both is great but the Megane might be a better car to live with day to day (if only it looked better)...

Coolant and antifreeze is a topic we are asked about on a regular basis, and often causes confusion; types, colours, service life etc. Perhaps the most frequent cause of confusion is what the difference between anti-freeze or coolant is. Basically, they’re the same product (although the term...

Ok today I bought 10£ of petrol, then on the way home all my warning lights flashed on this resulted on my petrol light staying on and no petrol being read by my trip computer !! This has happened a few times now, sometimes my engine actually cuts out when the warning lights come on ?? This is...

Now for sale as my friend can’t get insured on the 182 with it all fitted lol … We’re looking to sell the whole lot in one go, so everything that has been changed/adapted we'll give the purchaser - essentially creating a plug & play installation. From memory, this should include the following...

I just read on a recent topic that shell v power is good for reducing the carbon on piston heads. I've always used this up until recently as shell garages are becoming harder to find where I live, my nearest is about 20 miles away ! I've often wondered how much difference it makes using high...

My trophy has gone in for its major service. It went to a garage rather than Renault them selves due to it costing nearly 500 pounds more at Renault. My trophy was having everything changed that was on the Renault major service check list and genuine Renault parts however i had a small leak of...

hi, It is with much regret that I am putting #322 Up for Sale. :( I want to pay off my student loan and get a cheap run about - I'm just not doing the Trophy justice driving it back and forward to work! Uploaded with ImageShack.us 2005/55 Renaultsport Clio Trophy - current milage is...
