Hi there. For sale is my Dads Jaguar XJ 1999 (T - Reg) Jaguar XJ 3.2 Sport Current mileage is 122,000 The engine was replaced 12,000 miles ago due timing chain snapping. The replacement engine is from an early 2001 model which had covered 62,000 miles, post mid-2000 engines have the better...

Hi, I have just discovered a leak and could do with some help identifying what it might be. It is a pinkish fluid, there are no warning lights on the dash and the car appears to run ok. I will be getting it booked into a garage but could do with a heads up. Thanks James

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...

My trophy has done 76000 miles and has a full history. It has a tappety/rattly top end which is more noticeable now the weathers warm and i have the windows down, the noise is more noticeable on the over run when driving along narrow streets because the sound bounces off the walls. The de-phaser...

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

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...

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...

110 has done 38,769 but I've only done just over 2k since acquiring her in June 2010. I'm just curious as to how well used these cars are on average? Is your Trophy a daily driver or a weekend/summer toy? Cheers! :)

Evening All! Trophy 369 (one of the Northern Irish cars) is currently enjoying it's wee stint over in England while I'm working here. Being that age, a timing / auxiliary belt was soon due, and with a service looming, and a wheel bearing calling out to be retired I started ringing around to...

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...

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

Appreciate this is a bit late (almost a month), but thought I'd share a couple of shots from Rally GB. This was the very last event for the current crop of WRC cars as next year will see the introduction of the 1600T engines in the Fiesta and DS3s. #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 ^ In case you're...

The JMS RS2 Intake Manifold The RS2 Manifold as it has been named, is a ground breaking product for the ph2 range of RenaultSport Clios. Traditional NA tuning methods surrounding the 2.0 Litre Renault engine involve extensive & costly changes to either the engines internals, or via ITB...

i some times get a quite ticking sound when my trophy is idling. usually when its been running for a while. it is due its major service but my other trophy does it aswell ? so dont no weather or not this is normal ?? any one elses does it ??

Trophy #461 No clean shots in here detailing freaks. It gets driven, & it gets driven hard. 172k miles & counting. Mud is courtesy of the field at Haynes, which was perfect for handbrake turns ;) Trophy # 433 (now owned by Luke_89) On its holidays in August...

http://www.angel-works.co.uk/product_2ltrinlet.php Not particularly just the Angel-works ones(although they do seem better value than say K-Tec) but the matched inlet manifold in general? anyone on here have one fitted?

Just wondering how the Trophy stacks up against later Clio's? Similar pace, but what's the true quality difference and any handaling differences.

the wee oil guage that shows how much oil u have has stopped showing when i start car :( what is wrong u no the wee boxes below milage

Hello, My Trophy is all booked in for a Service & Cambelt in the next week and my pockets are literally empty. . . Mainly due to the fact that this also comes in the month when the MOT, Insurance and Tax are all due. Ouch! I was just wondering if there was anything else i should be aksing the...

Right I will get straight to the point as I have a list; I have owned my Trophy for now 2 months and when purchased I had timing belts done and an oil and filter change done. This weekend however I was doing a gearbox change and checked the oil now the dipstick read ½ litre low and when I...

Hey guys! I went along to the Rally Day in Castle Combe on the 18th. Bumped into a fellow Trophy owner and had a quick chat, don't think he was on the forum but told him sign up! Anyway was a great day out seeing loads of track day cars, 60's, 70's classic rally cars along with the Group B...

Hello, As Cambelts are the new 'Hot Topic' for Trophy's at the Moment can we maybe Sticky this topic so it's easy to see. Can we start a list below of dealers that people have used and been happy with for getting the work done. Just need dealer name, if the service was good or not, price...

i dunno about you guys, but sometimes my emissions light flashes at me when the cars sometimes cold or im stuck in traffic. i changed the spark plugs the other day and this instantly cured the problem! Renault say they will be fine for 72,000 miles but i think this could be a typing error...

Well after a day with a MR2 forum group at Trouqe of the devil it would appear I've come up alittle shy :( Never mind I had a feeling 182 was going to be abit illusive. Just for comparison has anyone else been dynoed recently and feel like sharing?

hi folks ive been thinking tonight of selling my clio trophy, i purchased the car from a bristol dealership about 4 months ago and with me and the other half moving in together in the next few months we are going to be needing every penny we got. my main traveling in this car has been to the gym...
