noise

There is two new GT-R's kicking about near me, one white and one red. Ive one seen the red one once but see the white one a few times, and today i ended up behind it just about to go onto a 70mph road, i thought to myself, he is going to boot it here and my god he did, i was in 2nd gear doing...

Hi all I'm hoping to make my Trophy a bit more track focused for next year. How far have people taken the stripping of there cars and what sort of results have they got? Oh and any ideas and advice with track mods would be appreciated. Thanks in advance , Matt. :D

Just the other day i was driving down a 70mph road and the car infront of me was doing 40mph, i decided to overtake in 3rd gear, as i overtook a approached 70mph and there was a strange noise, it sounded like the front arch liner had peeled away and was rubbing on my wheel. I stopped the car and...

i have this problem with my gearbox every morning when i finish work, its just impossible to change gears at times. 5th gear is the worst and everytime i change up to 5th it gets that grinding noise, but when im 5 mins from home its all ok , gearbox feels goods so i think it must be the cold...

Hi guys. Having a nightmare with the car lately. When im travelling 60+ MPH the car feels like its not planted and changing lanes on the M-way or dualcarrage way is becoming very scary. When traveling at speed and steering lightly (ie changing lanes) everything feels loose and the car seems to...

Hi, Just bought a Trophy and I have my 1st question. I've noticed that I get a funny tinkling/whistling noise coming from what sounds like the passenger footwell or under the gear stick when I rev the car from about 300rpm all the way to the red line, this happens in any gear! I'm not sure if...

I get a knocking noise now and again under braking, mainly when im driving slow. Braking performance isnt affected, Im just unsure whats causing it ! Any ideas .....? Thanks

Time has come to insure, tax and test my trophy. The car has passed its MOT but I've been advised that the front disks and pads could do with replacing. The car has only done 10k miles but the disks have corroded, due possibly to sticking pads. Naturally, the dealers said the warranty would...

Guys can you give me your opinions on the above, been thinking of getting something but just not sure what's a good move, dont want to blow a load of cash for nothin really. Thanks

hi folks, been looking though the discussions on what oil to put in the trophy, silkoline 5-40 seems to be favored. can enybody recommed a good alternative. the car wont be doing eny trackdays over the winter. i need to do the the change saterday as im working solidly for the next 6 weeks and...

Noticed an annoying clattering type noise the other day.. Further invesigation showed that it was the heatshield above the exhaust back box. Seems that the one of the points that it's mounted behind a washer has worn and broken away.. The washer is still there but obviously no longer large...

finally some proper pics of the new v6 i bought a few weeks ago. Ive got the p/plate switched over but the v5's havent come through so the trophy is on the driveway waiting to be put up for sale. Any1 looking to get into trophy ownership pm me or ring 07917 222362 for details, shouldnt be long...

Hi was just wondering whats so good about these (ITG Maxogens) and are they wortrh that money (£300)

I don't know if i am alone on this, but it strikes me after a week into the ownership of my Trophy that it has a ridiculous amount of squeaks, rattles and squeaky rattles! The problem is probably emphasized by the fact that i am driving around in "silence" whilst i wait for a stereo code, but...

ive had my trophy for nearly 3 months now and i wanna know what it might be worth.im not planning on selling it ever. the only places ive found is parkers and whatcar?, but i paid £3.50 from glasses and think its well off so i dont know whos accurate or not. anybody found any other sites?

Guys Who has one fitted??? what are the noise implications??? any differences in power?? may be looking to get one fitted in the near future cheers

Car seems to not want to start in the morning. Turn it once and it does'nt start. (just makes the noise, you know what i mean) However, when I turn it again it starts no problem?

Hi Guys My Trophy appears to have just started making a "clicking" noise when you pull away. Its still under warranty but just wanted to know if this was a common thing so i could perhaps relay some feedback to renault. Thanks

Right as an owner of a Trophy for the last few months we have all seen the horror stories surrounding the front dampers & the costs from the stealers involved in replacing them. Whilst looking into the dampers, you soon realise why they are 'so' good. Not your usual bolt on upgrade, but top...

acoustic valve wat is this?? and should i remove or not??

I'm in the position to replace the Clio next year sometime next year, but nothing on the market was grabbing me. R26 was fancied, but from what I've read not better than the Trophy enough to justify the change. Then went crazy and started fantasising about a 996 Carrera 4, until my old man...

Done a search and I think I may be the first one to report on this! My Trophy has developed a loud creaking from the rear of the car over the past couple of months, I thought it could have been the interior trim in the boot, or the boot lock and rubber stops, but i've tried replicating the...

Just had the 24,000 mile service carried out at Mark Fish, but with only 22k on the clock and he's found that the n/s lower ball joint is shot! Mark thinks it should be covered by the warranty but the by the reaction i received when booking the car in at Renault i'm not so sure they share his...

ive just brought my trophy last saturday and it was quite warm so i thought il try out the air con and to be honest i wasent impressed, my old 172 was the same but my old 1.5 dci clio was ice cold, i went down to dealer and they said it didnt need regassing. has anybody had the same problem?

i now have a viper cold air induction kit on my trophy , i was told around 5-7 bhp increase but it dosent feel any faster, in the mid range theres a difference, feels very torqey but i think ive lost abit of top end grunt. just brought an exhaust and sports cat so hopefully that'll make it...

hi, been driving around today in the trophy and can hear a whistling sound when i start to accelerate enybody have this sound. otherwise it sounds like a induction leak to me? thanks

What is a good price for a renault clio trophy....I have been looking at one with32k on the clock, body work is good engine as far as I can tell is fine. Owner is asking £8500 A second question if i may what is the strange noise coming from when you floor the peddle on the trophy. I have...

Just order a Milltek exhaust, De Cat and KnN (Hi Gen II) induction kit for No 142!! :lol: Anyone else had any experience of these products? Cheers Guys Chris
