I met Harry Metcalf at an evo track evening last year and he asked me why I had not thought about a newer car, implying that the new models are better. Any way with this thought in mind I went and test drove a Clio 200 on a cup chassis the other day. My thoughts, new car is bigger, much more...

Hi, wondering if anyone can give me a definate answer to this please; Engine OFF - Battery at 12.5v Battery is fine. Engine ON - Battery at 14.4v Alternator fine. Electrics on (lights etc) or cold start - Revs drop and stalls, or drops to 300rpm lights dimm and battery crashes to 11v but if I...

I apologise if these have been asked, I tried to do a search my my internet is really really lagging today. My car has started the dreading ticking from the cat to exhaust joint, only very slight but I know its there so its getting sorted, so I'm going to order the bolts, springs and gasket...

Back again for sale and this time it's for certain. I need a much larger car and four doors. One owner, low milage car. First registered on 24/12/2005. Number 487. Always garaged and extremely well looked after. Full service history including initial oil change after running in period. The...

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...

As above, snapped one earlier today and a result the bolt on the other stud wiggled itself loose and the cover fell off!! Whats the technical term for this item so i know what to ask for in the morning, alternatively does anyone have a couple spare they could post me for a few quid etc?

Daydreaming at work and thought others might like to join in/help out, especially if you're as bored as me!! Current spec is standard, plus: Wiper stalk mod Brembo/Ferodo discs & pads ITG panel filter One of the rear dampers is on the way out, leaking, so will be replaced with a pair of Koni...

Hopped in the car early on Sunday morning and went for a drive...because I could. 140 miles around West Berkshire, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire & Gloucestershire guaranteed a smile for the rest of the day! I didn't see a single speed camera the whole journey (and hope none saw me) but I was...

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...

Double points if you spot 304 between Friday morning and Monay pm between Psmouth and Oxford - I'm over, just for a long weekend :-)

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...

Afternoon. Just phoned up Renault to book my car in for a service and she asked me what type of service i wanted. As i don't know much about what service is what i just told her i want a full service. She then asked for mileage to which i told her just ticked to 37k. She then said that i will...

Seen on the autotrader website with the wrong wheels on... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p

Morning everyone, have a couple of issues i'd like to ask everyone about before I start throwing money at her. First off and in fact the most annoying thing about the car at the moment is the speaker surrounds. All they do is bloody vibrate! I've tried turning the music up, down, wedging things...

Not on a Clio, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions: Focus 1.8 53 plate 31k miles Been running perfectly. I left the car standing without being driven for about 3 weeks. Started and drove perfectly for a week after being moved, noticed that occasionally it wouldn't start first...

Clio trophy spotted here on Sunday R5 JKU in silverstone whittlebury campsite.

Jus need opinions on this issue please, my Clio fails to start after a long journey but if I leave it for half hour it will start again fine; for example I went on a drive to Oulton park the other week which takes me about 45 mins- 1 hour I parked my car up and got out then had to move my car...

The standard air box seems to have two inlets for air. One with a cold air feed pipe that disappears somewhere underneath the nearside headlamp and another inlet without any cold air feed. Is this right ? Still having trouble with my T :(

The other week i posted a topic on here about my trophy not feeling the same as it normally does and a little sluggish. It only became apparent to me the other day that.... 4 weeks ago i fitted some HID's, it was straight after this that i noticed the lack in performance. So i had a look tonight...

Currently umming & ahhing about buying an e46 M3 in the next 6 months, so may sell the Trophy at some point ... i have absolutely no idea whats its worth though due to the laughable mileage. FYI, i know whats its worth in bits, but not as a whole, so im just thinking in case someone wanted one...

Just took my T out for a drive and it seems to be lacking power. Still accelerating ok but just doesnt feel as if all the powers there. Anyone else experience this ?

As per title? I honestly can't see myself selling the little bugger. Took it for a blast on some newly discovered B roads recently and was still absolutley gobsmacked at how bloody good it is. :D I bought a Boxster S six months ago and even though it's a brilliant car, unless you're a...

Just noticed fastchip offer a Decat overrun calibration for 29euros. Just wondering if anyone has any info on it, will it have any performance increases over the standard 98ron cal upgrade they offer for 10euros? Or is it just a bit pointless?

Anyone out there fitted a bike rack to the back of the Trophy, have heard the spoiler can cause a few problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated, need to fit 2 mountain bikes on the car. Roof rack is another option. Good lady suggesting a new car! HELP :roll:

Saw you while i was filling my car up at tescos in church langley, Harlow, on Friday Morning. I think you are on here and that you used to own a trophy?

What you think of his death?
