    Angelworks & Pagid

    My car is now back from Ben, who fitted cams, modifed inlet and a re-map. His only concern was that as the car has only done 4,000 miles, all on the ex-factory full synhthetic oil, that the rings may still not be fully bedded in - wants me to use ordinary mineral for a while - and so installed a...

    V6 255 Seats

    I was looking through some really quite excellent pictures that I found somewhere on the internet of some Clios that went to the South of France (there was a Trophy there, by the way). Amongst the cars was a Liquid Yellow V6 255, but it had what appeared to be the very same Recaro seats as the...

    Tesco 99 RON works best! (Disclaimer : for MY Trophy)

    We have discussed before about what fuels work best with the Trophy and I mentioned in another thread that I was going to do my own mini survey! So here it is - in all its succinct glory! :lol: I've always sworn by Optimax (superceded by V-Power as we know) so have used that primarilly with...

    Flat Battery - Head Unit Issue?

    Not on my Trophy fortunately, but the head unit is the same so I thought I'd test the collective wisdom here! Been looking after my mates 03 plate 1.2 (mk2, ph2) while she's been away on holiday but the battery has gone flat... We've jumped started the car and got a bit of charge back into...

    Trophy Secrets

    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...

    Oil level indicator on dash?

    A quick question - a colleague of mine with a 172 exclusive has shown me how to check the oil level by pressing the wiper stalk when first putting on the ignition.This shows a few blocks in the display to indicate the levels. Since I've changed my wiper stalk I cant get the display to show the...

    What's your 5K kick like?

    Over on cliosport.net I have read many threads that describe the 182’s 5K kick. I had often thought that these threads over hyped the kick as I can only just feel an increase at 5200 revs in my Trophy, but recently I drove Steve’s (sm wrc) 182 and his car really does kick...

    Cruise control

    I always have my cruise control switched to the "on" position (after all, you don't really want to be fiddling round under the dash while driving...) but find it really irritating that the dash display then defaults to the "set speed" mode. Is there any way round this or am I just going to...

    Hi all. I'm seriously thinking about buying a Trophy in the next couple of months or so when the cash comes through and have a few questions.

    NEW PROBLEM: STOP & Battery light

    Can anyone help with this? While driving (ie. doesn't happen when stationary) when I go above 3000rpm the red STOP and battery lights flash on and off seemingly randomly. Sometimes they stay on for a little bit, but usually go out again when the revs drop. I feel no other probs, the car feels...

    Teething problems ?

    A few problems with my Trophy, picked up from the dealer last Saturday: 1. Alarm is oversensitive and almost always goes off 30 seconds or so after setting with one press of the key. In the manual I've discovered that if you turn on the ignition and turn it off again immediately, this...

    Oil level reading...

    I know that the only way to accurately check your oil level is to use the dipstick, but on my 172, if I pressed the trip computer button once with just the ignition on, I would get an oil level reading on the dash. Can't get this to work in my Trophy, even though my owners manual tells me how to...
