Got woken up this morning to my Clios alarm going on off ever 5sec or so. Only the sounder and no indicator flashing. Open and closed on key then was ok. Anyone else had this happen or know what's been set off on alarm circuit to do this?

Guys, your thoughts on the below please.. My T was serviced a number of months ago and has since covered approximately 1100 miles. Today it went for its MOT and failed on a ball joint. So my questions are... - Would you have expected a significant failure to occur within the space of a number...

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...

Spotted a fellow Trophy owner at Mallory on Sat, unfortunatley it was while I was trying to repair a snapped coolant hose so I didn't get a chance to pop over for a chat. Anyone? Steve

Hello All, I have just ordered a Clio 200 with the following spec: •Storm Grey •Cup Suspension •Black Speedlines •Bluetooth Due for delivery in October. I cannot wait! Anyone want a Trophy? It will be going up for sale v.soon. Rex

Going to book in the T at RS Murray some time later this month / early next month for her belts. Is there anything else i should get done while I'm there? The car is on 24000m Only possiblities i can think of are water pump and dephaser pulley? Thanks, Wayne

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?525921-Whitby-Run-1st-August-2010.-Pictures-and-Videos Ok - With a lot of persuasion with the misses - Ive now got her to like the T's however she doesnt like the clio's because of the 'Chavy' look and feel that people proceive them to have...

I am getting a background noise only when moving. Sounds a bit boomy. This happens even when moving with the clutch in. I don't think its the exhaust. Seems to be getting worse. I think its something to do with the drive. Gear box seems ok. I know I'm being a bit vague but any bright ideas. Thanks.

In my quest to create a 100% as-new Trophy, I would like to replace the silver-grey insert on the gear knob, as it's slightly scratched from a ring. My question is can you just replace the insert or do you have to replace the whole knob? I'm assuming the Trophy gear knob and insert is the same...

I appreciate that this is a Trophy board and most of you guys got that funky Sachs stuff going on. Just bought a 172 last week and loving it, apart from the mech gremlins. Gearbox 2nd gear synchro issue, t/belts etc Anyway..... Under hard acceleration, say from 2nd to 3rd, i hear something...

Sorry guys, but I've just got a Trophy and it seems to want to cut out all the time. Also takes a tad long to start up in the morning, turns over a couple of seconds longer than I'd think normal. Even once warmed up after a long drive, put it in reverse and start to move back and it'll just...

A new software from fastchip 'launch control' I dont think il be uploading this calibration onto my ecu, however it only costs 10euro.. http://www.fastchip.nl/vmchk/Clio-2/Vie ... ducts.html ed

I believe you can get a (?) mechanical Quaiffe diff fitted to a 182...? Around £1000 fitted. Meant to be a very useful mod. Has anyone got any experience/knowledge?

Well have to say I'm truely blown away by how good it is compared to my old 197. The steering is sharper, the handling is fantastic, gear box is the best renault gearbox I've experienced so far and the performance is superb. Don't have a bad word to say about it tbh and its deffinately in line...

Interesting article in the June magazine comparing the 200 cup and the 172 cup; 200 was 1.5 secs a lap quicker due to its "trick front suspension system and brakes" but the 172 was "more fun" ( I paraphrase). I believe Mr Metcalfe, who has some standing within said mag, owns a Trophy; I wonder...

Hey. Im in the process of building a substantial workshop and thought I would post a progress thread on here now I have actually got to a stage where the buildings is nearly ready to be built. I’ll give you all a bit of background as to how it all came about… Around 15 years ago my parents...

Hi im unable to put my hand on my service book at the moment and im unsure of when my cambelt needs replacing. 70,000 rings a bell, is this correct? Is there an age limit as well?

From the 1st May 2010, what was formerly known as the Fuchs Silkolene Powersport Range (which included products such as Silkolene Pro S, Silkolene Pro R, Silkolene SYN 5 and Silkolene Boa 90LS) will be renamed Fuchs Titan Race. The Silkolene name will remain exclusively on the Motorcycle...

My exhaust has been blowing abit since i had it replaced and when i lift off in 2nd gear i can hear a thud, i had i look at my top engine mount and i can move the engine/mount back and forth abit. Is this normal?

My auntie and uncle came down yesterday for some easter dinner and my uncle was saying how nice the trophy looked how shiny it was :lol: My cousin has a focus ST 07/57 totally standard. Bought it brand new - ......... well my uncle was going on about that he is wanting to sell it to buy a...

Hi, just when you think they are rare 2 turn up! Common as muck in these parts :D Extra points if you can guess where these were taken (none for the owners :lol: )

Hi, Would anyone be interested in part exchanging a Trophy for a 2006 Forester Sti? The Trophy must have low mileage, FSH and be in mint condition. The Forester has done 22k miles, FSH, has just had the 3 year service in December (all fluids, spark plugs replaced etc) and needs nothing doing. It...

I wonder if it's unavoidable?? - I seem to always get it at full bore acceleration, 2nd and 3rd gear, after 5 or 6k; I've got new PE2's and the geometry is all standard (today) - admittedly the roads are a bit cold but dry.... I'm doing the top mounts and camber bolts this weekend after which...
