Decided to change the gearbox oil in #302 as there is no evidence in the service history of it ever being done. Car has covered 63k. I went to the local Renault garage and they wanted £52+VAT for 3L of Elf 75-80 (after checking i found that you can get it for about £35 off ebay). Then checked...

Hi all, I've just purchased a 182 Trophy (No.382) today, rather a nice upgrade from my Fiat Seicento Sporting! It needs some work doing to make it perfect but it's brilliant to drive all the same :D However the battery light is on, as is the STOP light. At high revs this goes out so I believe...

I am reluctantly putting up 218 up for sale. I acquired 218 as the second owner in February 2008 with 29k miles on the clock. The car is pretty much standard except for the Scorpion RS192 exhaust which was fitted in 2008. I fitted Brembo HC discs and OE Ferodo pads in 2009 and the rear...

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...

Pulling away from the lights a tidy looking example that sounded good too!

Can't argue with £10 http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchCmd?storeId=10001&catalogId=10151&langId=-1&action=discount&promotionCode=232174

I've recently acquired 321 and although I am very happy with it, I am looking for ways to make it my own.. Thoughts so far are to send some of the interior trim to Spray shack and let them do their magic and also alcantra on the A posts.. Ive seen some folk add carbon fibre or red bits inside...

Well eventually I have gotten round to fitting my new Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 tyres to go alongside the K-Tec exhaust and induction kit already fitted. So on Thursday I am paying a visit to Dan at 519 Automotive to sort suspension and brakes. On the list is a set of Spax RSX fully adjustable...

RenaultSport Clio 182 Trophy #196 For Sale Sadly, the time has come to sell my Trophy. I've been offered a company car and it's makes too much financial sense to accept and I can't justify keeping the Trophy as well. It's currently just ticked over 61,000 miles and it's probably one of the...

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.

Spotted coming up Pellon Lane in Halifax, near Halfords, on Saturday afternoon. I was in the the Mrs' 1 series, not my Trophy unfortunately - wondered if it's someone local to the area?

Hi I need a new battery and wonder if it's worth paying a little more than what Renault sell? A Bosch Silver HSB063 (£90) gets very good reviews on Halfords website the main - the main comment is it's very powerful. It also comes with a 5 yr warranty. One from Renault is £65. They are all...

Anyone know where i can get some:up:

So, with the Trophy now being the only car in our household, thus enjoying the odd long journey, I’m somewhat struggling with the drone from the Orbisoud exhaust at motorway speeds… It was never previously an issue because the car was only used at weekends, but during a recent trip to Oxford...

Changing oil this weekend What's best? 5/30 f/s?

Likle they say. . . . . . Dont see one for ages then two come along at once. Although they were a good 80 miles apart. 1. Coming along the A14 Eastbound towards the Brampton Hut roundabout around 7.45am 2. In or near Shirley with the big Tesco on the roundabout, saw you heading along past the...

The time has come to move ClioTrophy to a new platform. There have long been plans to migrate from the current phpBB software to the vBulletin platform that many of you will have used on other forums. As many of you will have seen of late, ClioTrophy has had some issues with spam, and although...

Is it just me, or is this Trophy missing Recaros, as the seats currently in it, look like the standard ones from a 182. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-55-RENAU ... 256wt_1185

Hi all, i have just copied and pasted this from a thread that is on cliosport.net, thought that some people on here might want to have a look. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?586307-****-FAO-of-Capsicum-Red-Non-sport-and-Trophy-owners!-**** It came to my attention last month and...

I've managed to get the ball joint from the hub despite the thread spinning with the nut, grr! But now i can't shift the rod from the bar. I'm using a 21mm spanner on the rod and 13mm spanner on the bar...i could do with more leverage and will try and think of something. I'm spraying wd40 but in...

I'm sure most of you attempt or have attempted to carry out work on your own car before, mechanical minded or not. I for one have very little experience working on cars but can't resist having a go with a 'how hard can it be attitude'. As of yet I haven't caused any major damage (touch wood)...

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:

Essentially, on Saturday, somebody parked their rather clean looking Trophy in our car park next to mine, the gf noticed & said, 'that red clio's really nice'. After then explaining to her that it was a Trophy, just like mine, & that under all the dirt, they were both exactly the same colour ...

Over the last 3/4 weeks I've been having a handling problem with the Trophy. Everything felt fine until I entered a left hand bend and I would turn the wheel but instead of turning in sharply the car would take a very wide path no matter how much I turned the wheel. I checked the tyre pressures...

Hi everyone , Wondered what your thoughts about engine oils ? I'm going to change the engine oil my self. What do you think is the best oil to use? Your response will be greatly appreciated Joe

Did an oil change last night using my old Pela pump that draws the oil out through the dip stick hole. Bish, bash, bosh, all done in 20 minutes without touching a jack, axle stand or getting oil anywhere. Filled the car with 5l of Halfords 5/40 fully synth and since I needed new screw drivers...

Further to a recent thread on CS, where this was created: I collected these last night, to be sprayed pink this week ... They'll be used as spare track wheels with PE2's, then R888's when they're knackered :lol: Hell, i might even go back in time to 1997 and roll on them as dailies ...

i'm buying my 3yr old a new bike - i'm thinking it needs a pedal back brake (for safety as they've never ridden before). anyone got experience in kids bikes? Pneumatic tyres for me are a must also....

Hey guys, Just wondering if you have any experience of having your paint chips removed with either a scratch/chip removal service or even a DIY kit? I've been thinking about getting a few done on my car and just wanted to know your thoughts on these companies that claim they can make it as...
