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...

I'm going to be selling the 540Ci and getting a small - swb landy or rav4 size 4wd car for the winter. looking at around £4k outlay Just wondering what everyone's opinions are as to which one to get. I've scoured the markets and shortened the selection to; Scubby outback Rav4 Merc ML any...

A mate has asked me to do a cam belt and a clutch on his 182. :shock: Rather than do a clutch, and then a cam belt separately, I thought it would be easier to take the complete engine and gearbox out. I have good workshop facilities with a wheel free hoist and a block and tackle, so no...

I've finally got round to removing the manifold from my poor T so now the manifold it's up for sale. I've only done a few hundred miles with the kit which were back home from JMS and a trip up to RS Tuning. Not much more than that. The actual manifold and the mounts are silver and the rest of...

Hi guys Just wondering if any of you have experienced this with your T. This video is taken whilst stationary and the noise seems to be coming from the left hand side of the car. It usually starts to happen once the car has warmed up and can be heard most noticeably when parking, travelling at...

Hello my name is Ashley (Ash) I Have just braught a clio mk1 1997 guessing its a phase 2?? 1200 8v, I would like to know whats the difference in the phases 1/2/3 ect.. Also What engine conversions fit easyly into my model? break conversion.. if theres a link on conversions on the mk1 please send...

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...

I've decided to just sell the car after all the sh1t I've been through with that Tom. He's made me so Sick of it all that I just don't want the dam car any longer which I've babied for almost six years. It currently has the POS RS2 manifold fitted and would need to be removed as it's not working...

Managed to get a quick hour down the workshop after work today so finally replaced my smashed up front splitter and upgraded the dogbone bushing! And yes, i know my front bumper really needs a clean and all those nasty bugs removing! Will be on it tomorrow!

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"...

IT'S VERY LONG I KNOW BUT PLEASE READ COULD BE VERY HELPFUL Eventually gave up with the fault finding for the slight lack of response and power from the trophy myself so I handed it over to a Renault sport specialist who plugged it into the laptop. The first piece of software did not show up...

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 ??

Hi guys, I have been looking at these on a group buy over on Clio Sport and wondered what everyones thoughts were? I use the Trophy for fast road use and 4-5 track days per year. I was wondering:- - Will they make much of a difference or are the just a bit of a gimmick? - Are these the best...

In two minds whether to do this or not but i just dont use the car at all and my house renovation has to take priority over racing at the moment. Only been out once this year at Oulton for a test/track day and last raced last year. It was previously owned and run by Alex Schooledge of Outpace...

As many of you may be aware and if so now probably becoming quite bored with my posts on my T lacking in power I'm sorry however I may have just found it !! Well keeping it short here it is ... With the trophy parked (in neutral) idle is very lumpy but this is normal for the 182's, when I...
