Well what an eventful few days it's been, the T had an oil top up at Eurocarparts and slow drive back to my work and - BANG the car sounded like it had a terminal failure. Just about ran, heavy knocking from the top end under load, almost failed to start, AA guy guessed cam shaft fail, then...

What do we make of something like a 27k mile gap and a 20k mile gap between services? I'd like to think it'll have a negligible effect in real terms given the engines are meant to be strong. I bought a 330Ci before that had over 30k miles between a service and it always ran sweetly at over 100k...

I got hold of a trophy at a reasonable price. I knew it needed work. One of the things it came to my attention is the sound the engine is making. Here is a quick video. 182 trophy engine grind: http://youtu.be/Sh0a8OIifEI I got a receipt for the dephaser and Pully. If the engines gubbed I...

Hi all got a set if Catcams 428 cam shafts including perfect Dephaser and exhaust sprocket. Perfect condition, would recommend fitting these at the same time as a cambelt as it will be no additional cost! So if your due a cambelt soon this is the ideal modification. The spec for the 428 cams are...

Hello all. Wasn't quite sure if there is an introduction section (unless im being dumb) but Hi :) Needing some advice as im not in the slightest bit familiar with these engines, ill try not to make this an essay. My 172 Cup developed a misfire which turned out to be deemed as a 'multiple...

Hi Everyone, Just joined the forum and finally in a position to buy a 2nd car. Looking for a good condition Trophy (isn’t everyone!) and have a healthy budget to spend on the right car depending on condition, history etc. Ideally less then 60k miles. If anyone can be tempted to part with...

Hi all My T is approaching the 72k mile mark so will be going for a full service in a few weeks time. I know that the cambelt and acc belt should also be replaced at this mileage (or every 5 years) but the previous owner did this at the 40k mile mark around 3 years ago. Would you agree that I...

I recently read a promotion article for the new Clio 200 Turbo and was fairly disappointed tbh. The new car will apparently only have a paddle shifting gearbox and not a manual gearbox. For this very reason I am put off and my interest with staying with the clio evolution of models is somewhat...

Hi everyone, I've been thinking about getting a trophy for the past two or three months now and I'm finally in a position where I can buy one, only thing is the price seems to have risen by about a grand on average for them. I was wondering if there prices fluctuate like this normally or if...

Hi guys, Not been on the forum for ages since I defected to an R26. (which I still have) Anyway since selling the Trophy my wife has had a 197 Cup and currently a Storm Grey 200. Unlikely to intrest you boys but with the cup pack its pretty hardcore and with the leather & colour its very...

Hi All, There has been some confusion over the past few months about how to claim your 10% club discount. Previously the method was to log into our members section on our website www.opieoils.co.uk to get the cheaper prices, however to keep certain internet search engines happy we have had to...

Interested to know how many low mileage cars are left out there. Saw Asim's on here (25k) in the for sale section, just wondering how many more there are! and what current guise they are in (100% standard, lightly modded, highly modded?) Seem to be a very rare breed, I keep an eye on the for...

Hi Guys, My Trophy is not well. Had it since new with all required servicing and I was just arranging its 72k service when I noticed a new clicking sound coming from the engine. It is most obvious at more than 2500rpm, but can also be heard at idle. It changes (speeds up) based upon engine...

Im pretty new to all this clio stuff so please bear with me as im a bit thick when it comes to cars. I went to a ford rolling road day to help a good mate make up the numbers and my trophy ran 196BHP. Its a 55 plate and as i understood it completely standard. The place i went too were full of...

does anyone have any more news on the JMS RS2, i have one fitted, are people still having problems mine's only putting out 180bhp instead off the 190ish promised, spoke to an rs tuner and he said he could have got 180 with a remap which is exactly what he did with his brothers car and it was...

all, i am new to the trophy world, from previously having a 320bhp scooby this is a bit of a different story. with regards to modifications what would you all suggest i've had a browse at pictures of mods in this forum, so the usual:- Exhaust- where do i go? decat - yes or no? panel...

I have a 97 mk1 clio with a shagged 1.2 diet engine. Iv just bought a replacement 1.2 energy engine from an earlier model. Im lead to believe that the energy engines are stronger built, more reliable and have slightly more bhp. The new engine came with ecu, loom, gearbox, driveshafts and all...

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...

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...
