New to the forum and the Trophy – just bought 415. I am having trouble sourcing two brand new Pilot Exalto PE2s locally to me here in west Kent. Any idea where I can find them for around £110 each?
ok then just to add a bit of humuor to the forum...
What is the most rediculess / stupid / unbelivable thing a dealer has ever done / said to yourself...
i'll start with this one...
when we bought my wifes R27 (ex demo) i asked the dealer to touch up a small scuff on the front wheel, in their...
Hi guys.
Having a nightmare with the car lately. When im travelling 60+ MPH the car feels like its not planted and changing lanes on the M-way or dualcarrage way is becoming very scary. When traveling at speed and steering lightly (ie changing lanes) everything feels loose and the car seems to...
Hi,
Just bought a Trophy and I have my 1st question.
I've noticed that I get a funny tinkling/whistling noise coming from what sounds like the passenger footwell or under the gear stick when I rev the car from about 300rpm all the way to the red line, this happens in any gear! I'm not sure if...
Hi all,
My first fault with number 019 and sods law its only 2 months out of warranty... D'OH! #-o
Any way, I'm almost certain its a fault with the Coolant Sensor but i wanted to check to see if anyone else has had the problem before i go and part with some cash at a dealer somewhere...
So 219 is now 3 years old and at 26k miles, the annual service is due in December but its my intention to bring it forward before a small road trip to Wales.
Now how many people have taken the precaution of having the Aux Belts changed when there car got to 3 years.
I’m in two minds to...
think im gunna get my car dyno tested next month, but wanna know what trophies out there have had it done and what bhp and torques figures you have. would be intersting to see this with some cars standard and some modded and compare them
Hello All,
Im new to your site, hope to be picking up a Trophy this weekend but quick question:
Does a full Renault Service history make much difference in terms of resale value? The car Im due to get is due a service and the garage has offered to include the service in the purchase package...
Sorry to keep bombarding with all the questions of late... :lol: I'm after some more advice and opinions again please.
Following a recent trip to the Lake District my partner and I have noticed that the Trophy isn't quite as 'spritely' as usual so I carried out the usual checks (i.e. the...
My Trophy is more than likely going to be sold unless it gets an 11th hour reprieve to help fund my wedding. At present im running upgraded brakes, maxogen and CAT back exaust. I have been looking at the resale prices on numberous websites and quite frankly the secondhand prices are shockingly...
In Gunwharf.....i actually thought someone had moved my car until i saw the numberplate lol....it was T28 *** nice plate....rentech sticker on the bonnet :)
Well it's now just over a year since the last service [-X and was pondering whether to get the belts done as it will be 3 in october, thing is it's only done 9k. :oops:
What's everyone else doing and what's your opinion?
as some of the trophys are now due there first mot i thought it would be good to see what miles everyones done in them. mines done just over 27,000 which isnt too bad for a nearly 3 year old car. bout average i think, anyone got a really high mileage one and any under 10,000 miles?
My Clio has started to flash at me :( now and then when the car is stationary and running (such as waiting at some lights) the emissions light starts to flash but the car runs perfectly. I thought it was to do with the de-cat i had but i removed that a few months back and its still doing it...
Got an exciting job offer that would involve a company car which I will have to take because they don't offer a car allowance in lieu of the car. Really annoying but it would be stupid of me to turn down the company car.
Anyway, I was wondering what anybody thought about a fair price for my...
Gave the clio a good wash the other day and thought i would post some pictures. Car is doing me well alltho its just been in for a service with rentech which cost me £300. Not bad considering Renault wanted £600 odd. As you can see it needs a new foglight/splitter/ small amount of bumper...
Just order a Milltek exhaust, De Cat and KnN (Hi Gen II) induction kit for No 142!! :lol:
Anyone else had any experience of these products?
Cheers Guys

Just thought I'd give a shout out to the guys at Rentech who carried out my 36k mile service last Saturday down in Portsmouth.
They also fitted my new Brembo front discs, braided hoses and Greenstuff pads. The car's stopping power is in a different league now with no squeaking, I am pleased...
My beloved kindly bought me a few items for my Trophy - engine cover, battery cover and a new cf front splitter. Here are a few pics...
Random-Recaro shot :oops:
Thanks salem! :D She also has a few other items for me but I have to wait until my birthday in AUGUST!!! :shock: :lol:
Time for the 24000 mile service. Saw a thread recently singing the praises of a Renault Dealer in surrey - was it Croydon? I can't find it now, can someone tell me which one it was, please?
Or shallI take the car to Rentech? Guarantee still runs until December 2008 and I have to get the seat...
As posted last week, my Trophy is now registered for sale
Briefly, the car has covered 16200 miles and I am the second owner from 2000 miles.
Never abused, raced, tracked and has been garaged and polished (professionally) regularly. No scratches, dent or marked alloys. Serviced by Rentech...
Hey folks,
I think I'm aware of every Trophy for sale in the UK at the moment (whether it be pheads, eBay, autotrader, forums) but if anyone knows of any sitting around - outside of the internet browsing world - looking for a new home, do let me know.
Afternoon all.... Newbie here!!
Currently got a FF182, but now the Trophy seems to be luring me in...
I was hoping you could help me out with a few things..
1 - The warranty - I've heard that you can extend it with Renault, is this true, is it worth it?
2 - I've yet to get a test...
Ello all,
Well I'll do a brief intro to me ..then get to the point!
1st rung on the Clio ladder was a used 51 reg 172 and I loved it!
But because I read EVO magazine, and am swayed by their road tests...
I traded the 172 for a brand new 172 cup.
I had the 172 Cup for about 2 years...
hey guys, just got my car back from the dealers as needed a sensor changing. i asked for a quote on my next service (36000) and couldnt belive they wanted just over £600, does this sound a lil bit overpriced? does anyone know of a good reno specialist in the south (Sussex) area? cheers for...

Morning
Do any of you know the typical cost for a Clio RS 182 36K service from a dealship/non dealership??
My girlfriend had to fork out £370 inc VAT for her Cupped 182. That was not including any extra over parts that needed replacing. Is this reasonable??
Your thoughts would be...
