Finally managed to get myself a 182 after years of wanting one. Never thought i'd be lucky enough to get a Trophy. Found it on a salvage site that my dad was using for work and pursuaded him to get it. Its no. 400/500 and needs a bit of work lol. When i first got it home When we got it...

I had it come on this morning coming home from the gym. No symptoms whatsoever, just the light. I've booked it in for Monday. I assume it's just the Coolant Temperature Sensor. Hopefully it will be a painless easy fix.

The exhaust has gone :( I would like a Yozzasport one to replace it if anyone has one for sale? :D It'll be about a month before Fred@BTM can get new ones made and I kinda need an exhaust now! :oops:

Hi all, Have had 2 services since I owned the T on 24k and 35k using 5W40 Elf oil. After having the last oil change the car has now covered 37k and is already low on oil. Not sure if it has been topped up fully but imagine it would have been. Car is used 5 days a week for 60 mile commute...

I'm after anyone's experiences with fitting brake ducts in the Clio fog light holes. Does it make a worthwhile difference to brake cooling? Did you fit a collar on the front facing straight ahead to help catch the air or just ducting back from the holes? I imagine that fitting the ducts from a...

Any help please!! it only stopped working today when i started my 182 up :( had a long journey to work with the windows down and running out at lights to keep windscreen de-iced lol Am guessing a fuse but not checked yet? Is there anything else i should check for? Cheers Rick :mrgreen:

For those of you who don't use cliosport, thought i'd post up my new race car for this season for you to have a look at. Picked it up at the weekend, ex 2006 TCR Onslow-cole Championship winning car. Driven it the grand total of about 20 yards so far, on and off the trailer and into the garage...

still laughing to myself about this... yesterday my wifes friend called out the AA, nothing strange about that...but the guy ended up having to empty out 4 Liters of excess oil from the engine :D at this point i have no idea how the extra oil came to be there (although i have a good idea that...

I bought this car in November and have only just got it back from the garage The previous owner had put Gaz suspension on it,then lowered it and to add insult to injury put 195 tyres on it for the "streched" look. Needless to say it didn't drive as a Trophy should. Thankfully its now back to...

Hey people, i have been looking around for a while regarding an exhaust replacement for my 182 and have settled on the rs 192. After reading many good reports from users on here and listening and watching youtube clips of them when fitted its seems like a good option. Will be...

Hi i have always said on all my cars i have owned if engine required major repair i.e. piston bent valve etc.. I would put uprated internals in and bolt a turbo on (if only it was that easy:-)) Just woundered wat peoples views are on turbo trophy? (Just to add there is nothing wrong with the...

Hi, Well it that time where I have to get the belts (timimg etc)done... what belts get done and how much does it normally cost.. Renault are quoting £658. Does that sound resonable or should i look around. regards, jsthomson

What is a trophy worth in bits? The car in question is completely standard with engine failure Dampers are fine, one wheel has a kerb mark that I can see and the mileage is 65-70k miles. I'm informed the gearbox is fine and the recaro's are in mint condition, any help is appreciated

My batteries died :( However when trying to jump start it off another car it turns over but wont catch. If the battery is totally caput will it not start off the leads? Anoyone got any clues?

Hey Guys! I've fancied a new project for a while and finally found what I was looking for today!... I decided to treat myself to a 106 S1 Rallye to use mainly for track days and road rallies! Great spec, just a few little jobs and she's ready for some track action! I've got a couple of sets of...

Hi Guys and Girls, Can you please help and explain what the Exhaust Gas Monitor Warning light 'Flashing' actually means in English. The eplanation in the handbook is as helpful as usual. Can I drive the car slowly to the garaga 3 or 4 miles away? The tempature gauge has been fluctuating...

Hi all, My trophy has only been averaging between 26-28mpg recently where usually its easily 33-35mpg. Around a month ago I put a decat on it, do these affect mpg that much? Or could it be the lambda sensor? may have got damaged when putting in the decat?

Thought I'd post here as well as CS because it seems a lot of Trophy owners have this system. NB: the first graph is power, the second is torque. A couple of months ago after being fed up of the standard tail pipes, no noise, and a general sense of being slightly resitricted at higher revs...

Bit of a long shot really. The company I work for (Titan Motorsport) has about 50 Dry sump kits left over from the previous Formula Renault 2.0 race series. Does anyone on here need/want them, or know of any companies who might, or know of any race series who use the F4R engine as their power...

Recently my car has not been starting properly on the first turn of the key if its turned to quickly. i read up on this and it seems alot of 182s suffer with it but today it took me maybe 15 attempts to start the car. The car was turning over strongly but just not catching before but this time...

Was under the bonnet of the trophy tonight and i came across this unknown wire. Its been taped up and it been hanging down for some time as it was all dirty. All my lights / fogs / horn and everthing else work so i have no idea what its for. . . .Can someone check there 182 to maybe have a...

Well in the last few weeks the sudden drop in temperatures has caught out a few people In view of this I thought it worthwhile to highlight a few areas worth paying attention to. Coolant/anti-freeze - I've seen a number of cars that the anti-freeze concentration has been far too weak, causing...
