noise

I've got a yozza decat fitted, and for the last few weeks its been sounding abit rough; a fizzy blowing noise underneath the gear stick area. Only really happenens when the exhaust is under load, i.e in fith gear, going slow and foot to the floor. Just had it serviced and they have adivised me...

i some times get a quite ticking sound when my trophy is idling. usually when its been running for a while. it is due its major service but my other trophy does it aswell ? so dont no weather or not this is normal ?? any one elses does it ??

Hi all i went to replace my front lower ball joints this weekend i managed to do the one that was making a noise however the other one has the locking bolt seized in the hub so im going to take it to work and heat it up see if i can get it removed that way. If worst comes to worse i will have to...

Right, The GF has a KA (I hate the thing) and the coolant system is poo. Two years ago the small pump in the bulkhead failed so we replaced that. Month or so back the stat failed, replaced that all OK and the car has been working fine, not lost any coolant. However. Today she came back and said...

anyone thinking about getting this set up? or seen it in the flesh? looks the amazing.

Just wondering how the Trophy stacks up against later Clio's? Similar pace, but what's the true quality difference and any handaling differences.

........noticed my Trophy has started doing this again like my old 172 which I read about some time ago and was led down the road of fitting the washers under the top mount rubbers. Have not fitted these yet to the Trophy (may explore solid tops if problem cannot be resolved) but have a...

Those with PS3s fitted - what tyre pressures are you using? I normally run 32 front but they seem a bit squidgy if you chuck the front around. I'm guessing a softer sidewall causes this? Gonna try 35 front later and have a tinker.

what's the best mounts to go for? i'm after gearbox, engine mounts etc - poly probably but what make?

Guys, your thoughts on the below please.. My T was serviced a number of months ago and has since covered approximately 1100 miles. Today it went for its MOT and failed on a ball joint. So my questions are... - Would you have expected a significant failure to occur within the space of a number...

Right I will get straight to the point as I have a list; I have owned my Trophy for now 2 months and when purchased I had timing belts done and an oil and filter change done. This weekend however I was doing a gearbox change and checked the oil now the dipstick read ½ litre low and when I...

Hey guys! I went along to the Rally Day in Castle Combe on the 18th. Bumped into a fellow Trophy owner and had a quick chat, don't think he was on the forum but told him sign up! Anyway was a great day out seeing loads of track day cars, 60's, 70's classic rally cars along with the Group B...

Hi everyone.. does anybody know if http://www.rs192.co.uk get back to you after you have ordered from them? Ordered the cat back exhaust system yesterday, payment has gone through, recieved a receipt of paypal but nothing from the website confirming the order at all!?!? just a bit concerned...

hi folks something strange happened whilest driving the trophy tonight, basicly was just driving normally along around 40mph when the oil light on the dash flashed up with the words STOP NOW, anyways i stopped and thought no way has the oil ran out as i had checked it a week or so ago, i checked...

Exhaust manifold heat reduction options - Exhaust insulant wrap - ceramic paint coating has anyone got one of these options? or both!? The idea is that the heat from the exhaust manifold increases performance though various pathways which i wont explain now decreases. by insuring the...

The joint at the back of my cat (towards the rear) has cracked. :( Is this an easy fix or new cat jobby? ALso there is no clamp on this joint, it looks like there should be one there? :idea:

KTR de-cat pipe to fit onto a KTR exhaust. I bought it new at the end of last year with the exhaust system, and have done something in the region of 10,000 miles since. I took it off for the MOT last month and have been very much enjoying the reduced noise on my motorway commute. It does make...

just wondering if there are any knowledgeable 182/ trophy owners in the north east/ durham area? need a second opinion on the odd noise coming from the front end, think it might be ball joint related like :roll:

I am getting a background noise only when moving. Sounds a bit boomy. This happens even when moving with the clutch in. I don't think its the exhaust. Seems to be getting worse. I think its something to do with the drive. Gear box seems ok. I know I'm being a bit vague but any bright ideas. Thanks.

I appreciate that this is a Trophy board and most of you guys got that funky Sachs stuff going on. Just bought a 172 last week and loving it, apart from the mech gremlins. Gearbox 2nd gear synchro issue, t/belts etc Anyway..... Under hard acceleration, say from 2nd to 3rd, i hear something...

hi, I have had a clio sport 182 cup for about 18 months now, and my exhaust is beggining to cause me problems so i have decided i wanted to upgrade to a better sports exhaust ( currently have the standard one) I have absolutely no idea about cars ill be honest. The exhausts system which seem...

As you guys know i've been having some problems with 224 recently, mainly with the nearside front. Found out today that that particular damper has had it. Can push the car down with ease but the drivers side is still fine. I have seen that I should look at getting some other suspension bits...

Just noticed the other day that when I am going over a rough surface the passenger seat 'wobbles' about. All the bolts are tight (which hold the seat to the subframe) it seems to be in the runners - has anybody done anything to help tighten up the movement? Rich

so recently Mr Clarksons words have started to ring true. its not the noise i dont like, i love music in the car and i love listening to the massive suck of the V6 air box on sunday mornings. its just motorway road noise thats starting to get to me. having to shout at passengers, so i might...

Over the last few weeks I've noticed a noise coming from the front right of the car when I'm turning in to the left. I wouldn't describe it as a 'knock', it's more of a 'whump-whump-whump' if that makes any sense (it does in my head at least). My first instinct was a wheel bearing on it's way...

Hi everyone, I have a question on the whole suspension setup that I'm hoping that someone can help me with; What parts are there that wear out?! It is kind of hard to explain how my car does not feel as it once did, perhaps the best explanation is that i feel a little bit of a shudder through...

An interesting tyre review in this month's EVO (as well as a 20th birthday special on the Clio sports, with the Williams preferred). The tyre review caught my eye because it featured (an evolution of) a tyre which a few years ago highlighted to me the importance of tyres and the effect they can...

I hate those poxy trumpetty things, sounds like a swarm of bees and drives me round the bend! Don't normally watch football; no wonder :-(
