handle

Has anyone on here fitted a rear strut brace? If so whats the thoughts on it - e.g is it worth it and has it made any difference to the handling? Just thinking that it may or may not be a worthwhile option on a Trophy. Probably something Renault would have fitted originally though if it did...

Saw these on Ebay and thought i'd post the link (have a look at the sellers other items too), if people still want keyrings it might be worth contacting the guy - a little piece of carbon fibre with the Trophy logo would be pretty cool.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-renault-CLIO- ... dZViewItem

I found a laguna wiper stalk on ebay. had a look at the photos and it looks like the clio one with the intermittant function. but do u think that the electronics/connectors would be the same as the clio?

Was browsing and came across this, looks awesome!

Reading some of the posts lately by people casually dropping things about the car like being able to disable the RAID by holding the switch down, checking the oil level electronically (a gem) and pulling the seat base forward, I thought there may be some other useful nuggets that all owners may...

Just a quick one, when I start driving in the V6 the doors lock once its doing about 10 mph, in the Trophy they don't. Is there any easy way to make the doors lock like the V6 does? or do I need the software, laptop and cable/plug arrangement? :? Thanks Lee

Do they fit in sideways in the boot? Or do you need to put the seats down or take the woods out first?

I'm sure this has been discussed at length before, but how do these two compare? Obviously I could search old posts, but... I know some people here have owned both, and I'd be interested to know their thoughts. I'm not going to buy one - I specifically looked for four seat car when I...

What do you guys think as a good front/rear balance for standard every day driving?! Any idea of an optimum balance?

Many thanks to Olis for recommending Aurok for my geometry check. Although using the ‘old fashioned’ method of string and gauges, they confirmed my suspicions of incorrect tracking and mismatched camber angles. The camber was obviously slightly out from the factory but the tracking...

Just getting out of the car earlier i noticed that the handle on the left hand side of the seat was hanging out further than it should be. Upon trying to fix it i was left with the whole rod mechanism in one hand, and the bit of plastic you turn to adjust the seatback position in the other. I...

Anybody else fed up with the media coverage this guy's death keeps getting? I know he was a great football player and all that but as a self confessed alcoholic and wife beater I wish his life were not glorified as much as it seems to be. I do hope he rests in peace however.
