My village petrol station is being converted to Texaco, and next nearest one is the same, hence my email to Texaco UK

Hi all,
Got told about this wonderful stuff - think I will have to treat the old girl to a few litres of this 'bad boy' stuff. Anyone fancy meeting down Maidstone for a group buy? lol.

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...
Just curious, My car is going back to Renault tomorrow to fnally get the creaking noise fixed... Only its 4th Trip to dealers!
Was under the bonnet this evening and noticed when the ignition is on there is a loud buzzing sound coming from the engine (Somewhere under the inlet manifold) Call...
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...

Has anyone successfully changed the steering wheel yet on there Trophy or 182?
I'm having problems with the airbag warning light.

From what I've read over on cliosport this should be all I need but when switching on...
I was just browsing for a pic of a Trophy and came across your site. Then I saw you had a Mk1 section, so decided to sign up.

Being too lazy to find the owmers manual, sometimes when I lock the car it beeps three times. Can anyone tell me what this signifies?
Also, anyone noticed how bright the full beam indicator is in the dash?
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I've always sworn by Optimax (superceded by V-Power as we know) so have used that primarilly with...
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...

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...
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...
Seems i'm always banging on with probs anyone any ideas with this?
From cold can pull off but there is a total lack of power tiil it warms a little, plenty of revs but wiill just not move. Has only just started, admittedly have still only done 2k (i know shame on me)

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...
(Decat + std exhaust)
Has anyone done this?
Thoughts? as this may be my next mod on the cheap...cant afford the sports cat (lol)
Ive read it frees up the exhaust flow, increases noise etc etc
Does anyone know what the fine would be if stopped at the road..(not very likely tho?)
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...

The recent posts about the types of chips/ecu that you can get for the Trophy has got me very interested in the subject. Trying to work out what is the best of the options available.
The chips/ecu's I know about so far are as follows:

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. As always, after getting used to a car we start craving more power, however, with this car I don't think I'd go as far as increasing engine capacity or...
:shock: :shock: left a roundabout at full gas in second going up a small twisting hill road in my town when i went to let off approaching a bend the throttle stayed stuck to the floor as i pushed the clutch the car was revving to the limiter like a mother fucker had to quickly turn the engine...
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...
If you press electric widow button for drivers door briefly the window opens automatically. This does not work for passengers window. You have to hold button down to open. Is this a fault?
Advise please. Thank you :)
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...
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...
