Just spent 2 days cleaning the Beast, so why not, glad I only have to do it once a year...

Unfortunately, the time has come where I can't put this off any longer, it is with great regret that I am offering my Trophy up for sale. I need a 5 door car, as running my 16 month old daughter around in the back is just not practical, and with a long term back injury, I find it painful...

Having just returned from the 'ring with another faultless performance from the Trophy I'm still convinced this is the best all-round car I've owned. The 2 degrees negative camber I had on the last geo-setup worked well but was less noticeable than I was expecting. It did seem to have better...

I'm new to the forum - please don't let that put you off at all. I've previously owned Vauxhalls and have thousands of posts on Vauxhall forums! I'm selling a Scorpion cat-back stainless steel exhaust that I've just removed from my 172 Cup. It's in perfect condition, only removed as I've gone to...

Hi all. I have had a problem with my central locking since I bought the Trophy in November. The problem is that the central locking keeps locking and unlocking itself madly whilst driving and its become a lot worse as time has gone on. I have tried researching all over the internet what it could...

Hi there. For sale is my Dads Jaguar XJ 1999 (T - Reg) Jaguar XJ 3.2 Sport Current mileage is 122,000 The engine was replaced 12,000 miles ago due timing chain snapping. The replacement engine is from an early 2001 model which had covered 62,000 miles, post mid-2000 engines have the better...

Hi, I have owned a Cup packed 182 for over 4 years now, determined to keep it as long as possible. Always kind of wished for the Trophy set up so I have just invested in a full set of Trophy dampers. I was wondering what you guys could recommend to get the set up correct. Lots of advice already...

Took my car into a local garage today to try and get my brakes working properly and he hooked it up to the diag. machine that come up with a steering angle sensor fault. Which explains why i have an ABS, Traction and SERV light on the dash. This has occured because i disconnected the steering...

Reluctantly, I'm having to sell my 182 Trophy to cater for two little ones and the baggage train that goes with them! Few basics: Just over 58k miles, the car is off the road so this won't change. 2 Previous Owners Full documented Service History with Receipts MOT til December 31st HPI...

I know Renault seem to get bad reviews amongst people regarding the reliability but during my ownership I have found the Trophy really reliable. I've owned it 3 years and 4 months and had the following issues... Failed Coolant Termperature Sensor Failed Damper Seal Failed CV Boot Clip Thats...

I have loved my Trophy for many years but now it is time to sell. Number 370/500. I had a clio expert take a look today and they said it was great to see a totally standard vehicle, an honest car. Serviced annually, recently cared for my M&N motors (renault specialists) full service in...

Just needing to get my brother with his red 197 to get involved and we will be all good.

Sadly I'm in the position where I have to sell a car I never wished to sell: my Trophy is for sale. :( Details via PistonHeads below: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2872867.htm

as above, its tempting.

Essentially, on Saturday, somebody parked their rather clean looking Trophy in our car park next to mine, the gf noticed & said, 'that red clio's really nice'. After then explaining to her that it was a Trophy, just like mine, & that under all the dirt, they were both exactly the same colour ...

My Trophy's exhaust back boxes are finally on their last legs and so the selection of an aftermarket cat back system begins... So the initial search led me to the KTR Ultra performance system, which has a 2.5 inch bore from cat back. A bit more research led me to the understanding that the...

Well even after nearly 6 years of ownership this little pocket rocket still surprises me. I know how quick it is on a B road, but in a straight line i always thought it slightly underpowered to take on the great and good of Germany's finest but boy was I wrong. 100 octane racing fuel on board...

Did an oil change last night using my old Pela pump that draws the oil out through the dip stick hole. Bish, bash, bosh, all done in 20 minutes without touching a jack, axle stand or getting oil anywhere. Filled the car with 5l of Halfords 5/40 fully synth and since I needed new screw drivers...

I'm thinking of starting to machine polish the trophy as i can see some general swirling which would be nice to get rid of. Has anyone been doing this on there T? Does anyone know is our paint clear coat or two part and does the paint seem to be quite soft? I should find this by experimenting...

Hi, I test drove a Megane 250 Cup and Clio Sport 200 back to back today and I can't decide which is better. The car will mainly be a daily driver with occasional trackday use. The handling of both is great but the Megane might be a better car to live with day to day (if only it looked better)...

Hello All! Got the opportunity to clean the new Trophy or Rory as my 3 yr old daughter calls him, now been in my ownership for a week and loving it, completely standard, need some new exhaust brackets (wonky tail pipes) and the sachs rebuilding ASAP, apart from that its mint 1 owner, and been...

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have noticed a serious number of Trophys up for sale of late. And they are murdering values! I know they won't all be A1 but there are 35-50K-mile Trophys up for around £5K. Some of them with the cambelt service already done and a fair number "owned by...

Hi guys The names Scott and the lads on Cliosport have suggested I pop on here for some wanted advice. Basically I'm the owner of a 172 cup and a Trophy has come up for sale near by. Its for sale at £3995 and has done 70k miles. Just had cambelt done by renault etc etc and I want to part ex the...

My trophy has gone in for its major service. It went to a garage rather than Renault them selves due to it costing nearly 500 pounds more at Renault. My trophy was having everything changed that was on the Renault major service check list and genuine Renault parts however i had a small leak of...

I've just been out and had a test drive in my first Trophy today. Unfortunately, I didn't note what number it is. Quick questions. 1-we have 3 auto cars at the moment and haven't driven a manual for a while. The clutch engaged/disengaged cleanly but did seem a bit heavy. 2-the steering wheel had...

Hi Guys and Girls, I'm in the market for a Trophy to replace my Octavia vRS. I've got a couple of questions so feel free to give me some pointers. I will only be driving my car at weekends as I have a works van during the week, my Skoda's brakes suffer by not been used and so I was wondering if...
