My boot lid keeps dropping when open so I ordered some replacement gas struts.
I ordered using my reg number but seem to have received just standard 182 struts as they are too long.
The supplier says they are correct for the car but if I give him a part number he will look at it. Can anyone...
Looking to freshen the rear end up so rear "Renault Sport" badge came off.
Now with having the New "RS 200" badge im in two minds on what side to have it.

Absolutely gutted! After 7.5 years and 80k miles, I've had a coming together with a very solid old stone wall, and come off second best. Stuffed the NSF into the wall, no metal panel damage, airbags didn't go off, but the assessor stopped counting the damage at £3.5k without getting stuck into...
Hi guys.
my n/s/r shocker has failed and lost all its fluid.
would you recommend a refurb or replacement??
i recently called Renault to get one but they don't seem to be able to price me up the correct Sachs damper.
the car is really bad to drive at the moment.
thanks for looking
I'm due to be changing my rear discs. I have bought standard ones with the abs ring and bearing already attached. Are these still just a simple swap like the front ones would be, or is there a little more to it when the bearing and abs ring is involved?
Thanks.
Knowing your appreciation for rare RS cars I thought I would draw your attention to a worthy replacement to the little Tomato.
I know because it replaced my Trophy almost 4 years ago.

Hi, I recently purchased my trophy and it came with a scorpion 192 exhaust on it, however it seemed a bit squint so I had a play around under the car and the centre section mount has gone and there is only one on the rear. I bought new ones the same as these...
The silver plate on my gear knob is badly worn. Are any of the plates on ebay any good?
Or Renault want £68 for a replacement knob. (which they claim is now leather)....anyone had one?
Ktec carbon bonnet for mk2 clios. Cost over £400 but has seen better days. The lacquer/gel coat has gone really patchy - i have tried to polish it out but it probably needs stripping and re lacquering or just painting. Based in Tamworth.

Hi, I collected my new trophy yesterday (437) and the rear dampers have been changed by one of the previous owners to the normal 182's. I am wanted to go back to the original Sachs ones. Can you still buy new rear Sachs dampers from renault or will I have to hunt else where? Thanks.

My new Turini's arrived today and seem to have some new factory markings on the rims has anyone seen this on new wheels over the last couple of years? plus to any owners from new how light was the speedline logo?
No 147 is for sale on ebay with furry steering wheel and missing fog lights, exhaust looks misaligned, and the engine has been replaced?? dented roof panel, other wise perfect.
My Brembo's and DS2500's were old and tired and I my driving means i don't need uprated items, so i went for Mintex front discs and pads, Genuine renault rear discs and Mintex pads. When i fitted the pads into the front caliper i noticed the pads were a mil too small to fit snug in the gap. Sure...

Hi guys, looking for someone around the area who knows there stuff, rather than letting my old grease monkey play with my car. It will only be for future maintenance not tuning, but I would rather let a specialist do it. Any recommendations? Be grateful if you could help.
Thanks, Luke.

So after having the Sach's refurbed, new MF springs and camber bolts being done ( not on the T yet ) I'm considering fitting new Solid top mounts. Now from various sources I've been told it's too harsh with the Sach dampers. Has anyone got any experiences with STM fitted on there T or should I...
Haven't been on here for some time, had a mooch about but no signs of any new dampers around so thought i'd come right out with it. My passenger side has lost its gas for the second time after a rebuild and I remember there was someone on here selling new ones from a Renault dealer for real good...
