I'm going to say that 90% of Renault clios (Ph1 & Ph2) suffer from the sills / jacking points which the french have made from cheese which makes them crush and bend under.
Now a lot of people will have seen that i got a lot of bodywork carried out last year and i got my sills all straightened...
so basically i have seen the guides on heating them up, but it will only last so long, so i thought about plastic primer and spray them satin black, but in the end i have gone for a can of plastikote black matt, and a can of gloss
will use the gloss to spray my winter wheels see how they look...

So my Trophy has only done 1200 miles last year and the insurance renewal has just come through.
Im currently insured with Admiral and they want £330 to renew (insured in my wifes name with 4 years NCB). Which companies are other people using for cars that spend most of their time in the...

I think the time has come to sell my car after 4 years of ownership. I fancy a change now and dare I say it probably something diesel.
Once I get round to getting it out the garage and taking some photos I will post them up but at the moment just gauging interest really.
It has full service...
Like most people I'm on the case to try and find where the dust covers come from, If they are a reanult item with renault part number or what. So as i have spoke to Renault dealerships with no joy and RUK i thought i would message a RUK Guru on the renault sport forum (Jeremy Townsend) who seems...

Looks for a set of both dampers. Refurbished or needing refurbished, I'm not fussy. :-)
as I'm not on here a lot please e mail me if you have anything suitable at k4donna@aol.com
thanks, Donna
Hi all,
The T has been a little jerky of late, random sporadic speeds, nothing permanent. Mpg is high, does not seem to be drinking fuel, both lambdas replaced last year, and no warning lights.
Any ideas what this could be?
Thanks
Its my own fault for not doing my homework before i bought my car back in May not knowing about Sachs dampers. I bought the car not knowing mine didnt have any, silly i know. trying to find a set with the gator boot seems even harder. Any where abouts or any coming up for sale would be greatly...
Just got my Trophy back after a whole heap of maintenance work and I have to say Wow! I can't believe how much the car is transformed! She went in for a service, new discs and pads, refurbed front shocks from Cornering Force, new front springs and new front top mounts. I had the rear shocks...
The original batt was still delivering but getting a little lazy on first start in the mornings (even though, generally, I don't do mornings!) so, pre- winter and after 8 years (good for the original battery) I got a new one today for the equivalent of 65 quid - bet I'll not be alone once this...
**Offers around £250 for everything, but please contact me - see details.
I'm having another clear out and will sell this little lot for a sensible offer. Fairly expensive kit new that sounds superb installed.
Here's the previous advert...

Heading out of Marcham towards the Frilford Shell garage at abput 17.00. My first spot of another Trophy on the road in eight years of ownership and damn they look good. Would have waved or flashed but was in a series 1 BMW luxo barge and guessed I would have looked like some kind of maniac.

Hi,
Just got back from the garage the exhaust was blowing a little and i was shocked to find out the RS192 has cracked at the box coming out of the Cat.
Chaps in the garage advised would need a new one.
I don't fancy another Scorpion, anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks
Happens if don't change very gently from 1st to 2nd, also when I accelerate and lift off as well as well as when down-changing under engine load (say 5th to 2nd @ 30mph).
Does this sound like worn engine/gearbox mounts? My other theory was that it is the exhaust knocking as currently I have...
I don't have the number of it yet so it's not easy to search the Register, but does anyone recognise this car and know anything about the history of it?
I'm selling my Trophy. 23 of 500. 2005 05 reg. 2 owners (including me). 66,000 miles. Sachs dampers serviced at BG Motorsport in February 2012. Polybushes on front wishbones and anti-roll bar, KTec solid top mounts and camber bolts. Stainless steel cat-back exhaust system and K&N air filter...
Within the last 4 months I've sold my much missed Trophy and my partners EP3 Civic Type-R Premier to be replaced by a RenaultSport Megane DCi175 with Cup & Lux packs making it rare as only about 390 were sold in the UK & not all with either packs never mind both. And the Civic with a late model...
So why was this thread deleted? I'm guessing that his visits last night were to fire off some threatening PM's. Pretty lame that the forum folded so easily, disappointing.

So, I was having a sort out today and found in a box in my garage a 6 CD changer from my old 172 cup. I took it out to put in my trophy when I got it, but I never got round to it. So I have here the changer, the cable and two 'Heath Robinson' mounts to fix it to the car.
So anyone want it, for...
