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

I am hoping you guys will be able to help. I am looking at buying a Trophy. I am considering buying the car unseen - the owner seem genuine.
I appreciate this varies but could you give me some idea on life expectancy of the tyres and brake pads please.
My local dealer seems pretty poor...
Does anyone know of a problem where the car seems to lack power. My car seems to lack power intermittently. At its worst it drives as if it has around 80 / 90 hp. It has no low down torque meaning it's most noticeable when pulling away or trying to overtake other traffic. It also runs a bit...
Got Trophy number 64 just over 2 weeks ago. All I've done until today is go to work in the rain, come home in the rain and go shopping in the rain.
Todays fine, nothing on the telly and the wife ironing. So I put some petrol in her and went for a proper "thrash" - purely to make sure...
Some advice needed...
As you will see from photos somehow, don't ask me how I have no idea, there are some splats of white gloss paint on one of my wheels. Noticed it this morning as I was about to leave for work and was not happy.
I instinctively tried to wipe it off, only to find it is...
Hi
I dont know if you can remember my post a while back asking for your suggestions in getting a trophy given my age and insurance issues. I would like to thank eveyone fore their suggestions and thought i would update you on what i have done.
Well, after alot of consideration, i have gone...
Yes i know you're lurking on this site somewhere....
Just thought i'd say hope you enjoyed kicking my tyres, using my petrol to go on a test drive when you had no real intention of buying....
Word of advice, if you are going to make an offer on someone's car, you need to be able to find...
Well after convincing myself not to take a gamble and get a set of Yoko Parada's, I'm now on the hunt for 4 new Michelin PE2's...only problem is Mytres want £322 and Blackcircles £320.92, so roughly £80 a tyre before fitting!
Anyone got any suggestions for where I can get my PE2's...
I thought it would be interesting to see just what can be had if you were to sell up, had no idea it would bag this little lot!

Hi all,
I pick up my trophy on Tuesday, just thought i'd drop in and say hi :D
I'm usually over on Cliosport.net aka Dannyboy172, i used to own a 172 (obivously lol) so i'm fully aware of Renault ownership. lol
I've p/x'd my impreza in for no.165/500 as i need something a bit more...
I spotted aodonovan this morning and was 1 car behind GP05 NLJ turning into Surrenden Road off Ditchling Road, Brighton at 18:10 on my way home.
Edit - It was the mystery Brighton Trophy, dammit, should have followed him.
Is it just me or does anyone else get treated like a total tw*t whilst driving their trophy?
On numerous occasions i have been driving the trophy well within the speed limit and have been abused by pedestrians, to whom it must appear i'm travelling much faster than i actually am.
It happened...
Interested to find out how members rate the customer service/experience provided by your local Renault Dealer/Franchise?
If Renault UK want to use the data please feel free ;)
Got the car on Saturday - filled her on empty to full on Optimax (£44!!)
Ive done nearly 200 miles and its nearly on empty :'(
£44 in my old golf diesel woulda got me just over 400 miles!!!
Well, at 39 weeks pregnant I can not bury my head in the sand any longer. My wife and I are having a baby and that is all there is to it. The Trophy has got to go.

:cry:
It was found out that some genius at Renault decided to make 182 exhausts all one-piece rather than 3 which it should be. Seeing as the exhaust goes over the rear beam this meant that the cat and centre section were taken down, but the whole exhaust being connected did not come out because we...
(finally) Picked up No250 today and drove it home the long way from Essex to Surrey, avoided the M25 as much as possible, and then spent the whole night grinning, much to the wifes concern. Keep looking out the window wandering when I can next go for a long drive......to think I nearly bought a...
So are we being stiffed for another £10 or £15 a year to drive on shit roads?
I'm reading and getting conflicting information!
That's in addition to the increase in petrol taxes. :evil: :evil: :evil:
Picked it up after work on Monday. About 500 miles in so far and while its no Trophy, 205 or CRX...its a cracking motor and I can't wait to get it to an Airfield :D The petrol cap holder thingy comes as standard too :wink:
As with most cars, its a 'better in person' thing and being BC this...
arrghhh so annoyed it's listed on ebay - never though that when I sold it last month it would end up there. :evil:
Also they could have took out my number plate
Ebay item number 270095389194

Has anybody been infected with the petrol problem? Just been listhening to the news, said i no. :lol:
Should think most people will be using V-Power from shell and wont have been affected. Thousands of people have had problems mainly using Morrisons and Tescos petrol. Now we all know why it...
Spotted a Trophy in the Esso petrol station on Friday night/Saturday morning at 1:30. Was in the girlfriends Williams on a late night munchies mission!
Was going to ask about number etc, and say that I have 351 at home, but I am never sure what the reaction will be so I wimped out! :lol:
do the 182 rear seats split 60/40, as it drives me mad that the Trophy one's don't when I occasionally need to put them down.
Does anyone know if the leather 182 rear seats are a straight swap, I suspect they are.
How much might I pay for a set and what about door cards I've heard those...
I have just been reminded that in 2011/2012 the 'fleet average' emissions come donwnot 120 gms/km. It is about 160 plus at present - and the 197 as an example is 209.
Goodness knows how it will be achieved; I would guess that low volume exotics will stay for the high price halo effect, but...
It's a feature of the Trophy that's often forgotten, correct me if I'm wrong but it is unique to the Trophy right? Or was it an optional extra on the late FF 182's?
Anyway, does anyone still use theirs? I used to use it a lot when I first got the car to keep my license but I don't think I've...
