It is with great regret I am putting up for sale my Renault Sport Clio 182 Trophy #248, due to a change in work circumstances and an increase in my commuting mileage. The car has served me faultlessly, it has been looked after and maintained with no expense spared, washed and waxed weekly...

Hi Guys, My Trophy is not well. Had it since new with all required servicing and I was just arranging its 72k service when I noticed a new clicking sound coming from the engine. It is most obvious at more than 2500rpm, but can also be heard at idle. It changes (speeds up) based upon engine...

Hi all, Had new discs and pads fitted all round today after an mot failure for heavily corroded brakes. Only problem is a warning light has now come on. It was the end of the day so the garage couldn't find the fault. The new brakes have the abs ring etc so I am hoping it's a simple fix. Any...

Well I've been lurking around this forum for a while now so I guess its time to say hello properly. I've owned a string of French hot hatches over the past few years (2 205s, a 306, and a Xsara VTS) and had fancied a Trophy since they first came out but I don't tend to buy until cars are a few...
