Hi guys , I had thought that I would go for the Nitron Damper setup that K-Tec are developing for the Trophy but have read great things about AST. And I just wondered if anyone on here has them fitted and what they think ? Cheers Neil

I bought these with the intention of fitting track day tyres or winter tyres, but instead they've sat in the garage for 3 years! They are chipped, scuffed, with plenty of marks and will need refurbishing to look any good, but structurally sound. The tyres are all different and need replacing...

Haven't been on here for some time, had a mooch about but no signs of any new dampers around so thought i'd come right out with it. My passenger side has lost its gas for the second time after a rebuild and I remember there was someone on here selling new ones from a Renault dealer for real good...

Couple of weeks ago someone decided that using the rear end of my trophy would be a better way to stop than using their brakes :mad: I am in the process of paying the salvage costs and will have a CAT C write-off trophy for either sale as a whole or to be broken up. The only damage is to the...

I was very surprised to spot another Trophy knocking about! :D Saw you driving into Sainsburys at Badger Farm (DS05 I think)

Well thanks to steve i got myself a really nice set of headlights and he even fitted them to the trophy for me. People might not thing the are the brightest of lights but they make such a difference.

Hi. I have been having a few problems while driving like country type of Roads not been impressed by the handling of my car :-( I began to realise something ain't right coz ma old 182 handled better than this. Which isn't right. Anyway cut a long story short. I pushed down on the front...

I have a humming noise coming from my car, sounding like a shot wheel bearing - humming more when turning right, indicating a left bearing. I changed both of my fronts and after picking it up from the garage this evening, it's still there, not so loud though. I jacked the car up before it went...

I set the newly refurbed dampers to (what I thought was) 22 clicks. It was as stiff as anything, handled well but felt extremely unstable on the motorway and there was literally no body roll. I've turned them down a few times and there's a slight bit of body roll now and it feels better...

Hey guys I'm after sachs dampers front and rear preferably in working order can even collect this weekend - cash waiting thanks stef

Hi all, Where can I buy the standard trophy front springs from? If they aren't available what is the next best cheapest solution? Regards, Eliot

Finally found a reasonably priced steering wheel to replace my melted one... i wonder how many people got theirs changed by Renault? i heard of one being changed as late as october 2011. this one is dated 2008 so they must have continued production for a while after the 182 ceased production.

Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone knows anything about the problems I'm having with my T atm Filled up full yesterday and drove 110 miles motorway no stopping and a constant 56mph the whole way and some how managed to get through half a tank ! Also it feels to be lacking power and engine...

Hi guys i have found 387 at a local garage, she has 70k on the the clock and is advertised at £4850, i have asked about the dampers and the garage owner has said he has no paperwork on them! disks and pads look very tired. There is a small rust spot on the bonnet but other than that she looks...

Following on from some other topics and comments regarding Sachs and rebuilds, has anyone changed the Sachs for something else, if so what are the options? I know the Sachs are the selling point of the Trophy, but as there is a lack of new stock and the refurbs do not seem to last I am...

hi, its a 51 plate clio 1.4 privilege. When ideling it seems to 'judder' and has very low revs. The gear stick also seems to vibrate abnormally. The car seems slower than normal ( if possible )lol, and now the engine shaped light is on full time. Its been fine an developed this after not being...

Had a phone call from a customer earlier to ask how much a drivers Recaro treadline was as there had been stolen. They had un-done the seat from underneath and window smashed and removed from out of the door. Obviously Recaro seats are not complete from Renault and have to be brought in seperate...

When accelerating hard above 5k revs in third or fourth there's a really bad vibration from the whole front end of the car.:( The vibration is not present when out of gear. Anyone had this before? I'm guessing the driveshaft are kaput? feck.

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone can recommend a good garage/specialist in the staffordshire/midlands area i can trust to work on my trophy. Im goin to need some new rear discs and pads soon but dont want just anyone working on it!!:) Thanks

Hi Everyone, Im currently looking to buy a trophy and over the past few weeks I've noticed more and more coming up for sale but rarely selling. Then last night 3 came up for sale within the space of 2 hours on Pistonheads. Is this a coincidence or am I missing something here? Is there an...

I want to have my Trophy wax oiled/ under sealed. Has anyone got any reccomendations for someone to do it, in the midlands area? I know i could do it myself but i havent got any ramps and i dont fancy crawling around getting filthy and wax oil every where. Would also like a proper job with it...

Hi Guys, I was cleaning my inside of my wheels and noticed that the drivers side wheel was covered in grease, when i checked the CV Boot i noticed that the clip holding the rubber boot had broken, so i have temporarily put a cable tie around it for now. But i was wondering what people...

Hi Peeps, I'm wanting to do a full freshen up of the trophy's suspension and wanted to get some new rubber top mounts for the rear. Went to the renault garage they said they aren't listed as a seperate part and I also spoke with K-tec who said the same. They apparently come with a standard rear...
