Hi,
I've got a couple of questions about the clutch/gearbox on my Trophy and I wanted to see if anybody else had experienced the same things.
1. Being able to beat the synchro in 5th gear sometimes? This has only happened really occasionally, but there have been times where I've changed from...
Hi. Iv had my clio 182 for about 4 weeks now. It has around 22000 miles on the clock on a 55 plate. As iv been driving around iv noticed a whirring noise from the gearbox when driving along in any gear which gets loader when i accelerate. its quite annoying and i just wanted to know if this is...
Having finally done a few miles in the Trophy it stikes me how poor the gear change is, there's a complete lack of feel and the throw is too long, it also seems to have a longer throw rearwards then forward, i also noticed this on a 172 too.
What have people done to improve this? is there a kit...

Hey guys, ive just recently swapped my TDI mk4 Golf for a 1.8 16v mk1 clio turbo'd
i have no idea about clios as i am normally a german car lover, but i drove it home from wales and i must say wow, what speed.
The car i have used to be in max power years ago has had loads spent on it, running...
obviously other gearboxes from 182's will fit and the late 172 boxes i believe? but you get the idea :wink: its needed within the next few days, so if anyone knows of one for sale preferably nearby would be greatly appreciated, i live near nottingham thanks. [also posted on cliosport]
The additional power from a nitrous system can be very addictive and because its such a simple job to increase the power (quickly changing a couple of jets), most users decide to take quick steps up the power ladder. It must however be remembered, that each step places increased demands on the...
Hi all,
The idea of this post is to keep you all up to date with what has been going on at www.opieoils.co.uk
Firstly, we have changed our filter supplier. As some of you will know we previously stocked Purolator Filters and we have now switched over to UFI filters; oil filters, fuel, cabin...
There seems to be a worryingly high number of Trophy's that have had their gearbox replaced. I know most people drive them enthusiastically but the number still 'appears' high considering the relatively low mileage and age of these cars.
Am interested to get an idea:
1. How many T's have had...
Hi guys, this should probably go in the Trophy Faults section but I thought that since it could cost a lot to fix people should know. My beloved Trophy has been in the garage for a week because a number of seals around the engine and gear box were perishing. It's taken so long cause the garage...
i have this problem with my gearbox every morning when i finish work, its just impossible to change gears at times. 5th gear is the worst and everytime i change up to 5th it gets that grinding noise, but when im 5 mins from home its all ok , gearbox feels goods so i think it must be the cold...
i have a chance of a real cheap clio 1.8 16valve but it has a problem-
The garage said the circlip has came off the driveshaft pin?
does this mean a new shaft? new gearbox? or can you just get the part needed?
Thanks
I get a knocking noise now and again under braking, mainly when im driving slow.
Braking performance isnt affected, Im just unsure whats causing it !
Any ideas .....?
Thanks

Hi All
Am currently looking at buying a clio Sport. Money isn't so much an issue but was after some owner feedback on what model you would choose and why? The car will be mainly a weekend driver and I want some fun with some comfort. I will be tracking the car occasionally also. I know ppl...
