Morning all :) just a quick thread to ask a simple question, this might make for an intersting read, if the answers provided are conclusive and factual, as much as i enjoy opinions everyone has one, so facts only please. For all you who have had rolling road read outs, what do you actaully...

What does 3 short tones mean?? My T does it randomly currently once a week lol

Or is it ok or is higher octane ron best?

has anyone fitted matched manifolds? sport cams? been looking at K-Tec ones and been debating it. and de-cats?? who's got one has it made a difference and has everyone just pulled out the emissions light?

Hi guys, Had the battery off the car today for at least half an hour and now when I remove the keys from the ignition I get 5 beeps... When I return to the car from locked, I get no beeps as normal, just when I turn the ignition off. Looked through the alarm section and cant find anything for...

Evening people, had a rather concerning visit from a neighbour around an hour ago. She was looking out of her window and saw a cruddy, old darkblue A4 estate pull up a few yards down from our houses. Apparently the two blokes in it looked very shifty and kept looking down at something between...

Hi I was cleaning my car before Inc engine bay, set off to go into town and everything was fine.... Untill the emmissions light started flashing and missfiring?? Could water have got in somewhere????? It's running but everytime you put your foot down there's No power.....

hi ive just got back from chipped uk for my custom remap and here is my results

Hi All, I've fitted a new aftermarket steering wheel and while I have managed to turn the airbag light off using a couple of resistors. However, I now have the ESP and Traction Control Indicator Light / Service Light coming on. It only comes on when the car is driven and the light will only go...

Hi, Not sure if I read this somewhere on here or I'm getting confused with previous alarm systems Ive had but is there a way of turning off the ultrasonic sensors so you can leave the windows open? Was thinking there is a special key fob press or something... :?

Hi folks, Can anybody shed any light on this please because renault dont seem to be able to. 9/10 when i get on the motorway the SERV and ESP light come on at the same time. Never when on A or B roads just the motorway. Anybody had this problem and how did you get it sorted.

I thought i'd give this a whirl on here rather than Cliosport, seeing as i know i'll be bombardered by answers like "Its your Tdc sensor" Now i'm not saying it isn't that, but i'm looking for someone to answer who has been through the exact same problem :wink: Turn on ign, everything lights...

My electric windows make a worrying noise, as they reach the top of their travel. It sounds like the glass hitting the door, maybe they are out of alignment and are being pushed too far. Sometimes when I go over a bump I can here the noise again. It sounds like the window's about to break. Any...

Got into my car excited about heading to Bedford this evening and as I drove down my road, my excitement died.. The Exhaust emissions light was on and unlike before, it was static, not flashing.. Restarting the car did not clear it so I left it on the driveway and I shall be borrowing my fair...

Having bought a load of Clio 172/182/Trophy Strut Braces recently, i've decided to to offer them too forum members at a discounted rate of £25 a pair, that includes one front and one rear in red plus free postage and packaging :D These are an easy install component and can be fitted in...

Just ordered a Clip tool for the renaults, should enable me to disable the airbags completely without messing about with resistors :) It's the proper job and not one of those £30 jobs everyone's selling, according to the seller it's the full monty and works the same as the genuine renault set...

Was driving on an A road at speed and needed to slow down, however, the car did not slow down as it should and literally had to press the pedal till it would go no further. The car eventually slowed to a stop right up behind the car in front waiting at the round about. He must have thought I...

This lamp has just come on I have tried the test mode on the dash (press the end of the stalk when turning on ignition) the only thing indicated is a letter t = injection fault for more than 4 secs Do you think this will cause any damage as I have a track day booked for tomorrow and no chance of...

I tried changing the standard stalk 2 years ago but it didnt work (thought it was the new stalk) finally bought another stalk and fitted this morning, still doesnt work! i'm guessing that my trophy has slightly different wiring to all of the other Trophys. anyone else had problems with the...

Was just on my way to work the other day and the SERV and Traction control light came on?? also something esle was lite up but was more focused on the SERV lite. I wasn't driving fast, once I pulled up into work turned the car off - I turned it back on again and the light was out?! :? any...

Hi everyone, Yet another couple of questions...... The Trophy I bought last Saturday still has 2 months warranty remaining (the advance one), as it was bought by the last owner as a Renault used car only 10 months ago. I'm used to French cars having problems, but as I've still got this...

i have a mk1 ph2 valver with an annoyingly intermittent electrical fault in the charging. when i go to start in a morning my battery light doesnt come on when ignition on 2nd turn so it aint charging, but it starts workin again when i go to it later on in day. i have cleaned all my earths up an...

Discovered tonight my side light on the passsenger side is out, even with the headlight turned on the side light doesnt come on, neither does the one next to it, just the headlight comes on, checked the bulb that is clipped in and it looks fine but i couldnt get the other bulb out. Also with the...

Sometimes when i go to lock the car, it keeps bleeping........ yes i know normally it mean you havent shut the door properly but i have!! & its not the batteries!?? Another thing, sometimes when driving and i take my foot off the gas pedal it keeps going to hit limiter, and have to turn the car...

Hi 2 things what engine oil would you all recommend? Also my trophy doesn't always start first time in the mornings, its done 30k. starts perfect second time. Do you think this will just be the spark plugs need changing, if so what plugs would you recommend? Cheers

I can't seem to stop running into issues with my car this week. Right, successfully swapped the stalk without too much hassle. Then reconnected the battery and the stereo asked for a code... which it appears i dont have anyway in any of the 5 or so books, guides and manuals that renault...

Hi Folks, While driving my girlfriends Trophy for the first time in ages the other night I was doing maybe 80MPH when I changed from 5th to 4th & put the throttle to the floor. Lots of smoke came out of the exhaust - after double checking it (repeated the gearchange) the same thing happened...
