My Janspeed which was fitted by Rentech about 3 weeks ago has developed a rattle. It started yesterday and sounds like metal tapping on metal. It happens at all speeds over 10 mph or so but is intermittent. Hard cornering in both directions evokes the rattle further.
I took it in to Kwik Fit...
I've just booked the Trophy in for it's annual Permagard treatment at Canary Wharf (0207 473 0099) for the Saturday after next, I was told to bring it up any time in the morning and it will be 50% of the original price, which was £130, so £65 for another year's protection.
I'm then...
My brother and i are off to the Nurburgring in early November.
Going to be hitting the 'ring hard for 2 days straight and was just wondering how people reckon the trophy will deal with this punishment on the car and the brakes especially?
I'm lucky enough to own a CSL but really wanna take the...

I just spotted this on the Renaultsport forum "panel of experts" bit:
Eldorado asked: 182 service
Am I right in saying that my 182 clio needs servicing either every 12k miles or every 12 months? If so, why was this changed from every 24 months? Isn't a service every year a little excessive...

Well guys,
Rentech has done a brilliant job servicing my Trophy. If you live anywhere near them you have to be mad not to take your pride and joy to them. They fitted the upgraded brake kit I bought from YozzaSport.......Braided hoses, grooved Brembo discs and DS2500 pads. :twisted: They also...
Any chance of maybe getting some keyrings made, like the ones on cliosport in enamel.
Would there be enough interest to look into a getting a batch made? They are £6 on cliosport.
Any takers?
Just fitted Brembo High CArbon disks with Pagid RS42 pads braided hoses and 5.1 dot.
took a day to bed in did disks first with 3 lots of heat treat with full cool down and then 10x 90 Mph stops to do the pads till fade.
Bite is great now and the extra G you get when stopping make you...
I am just coming up to my 12k service and I have been quoted £221.47 by my dealer!! I personally think thats a bit steep!
Do you invalidate your warranty if you go elsewhere to get it serviced? If not then does anyone know of somewhere decent around the Salisbury area?
Can we compile a list of the different Renault specialists for easy reference?
I need tyres, pads, a service and whilst I'm at it I might as well get a full alignment done. Being in Kent I'm thinking of taking a day off and shooting down to RenTech in Portsmouth, stopping at MichelDever Tyres...
Ok, a hot topic which has been covered in different ways, but for those of you that have had a service or have one coming up in the not so distant future, i'm just trying to find out where you've had yours done/where you'll choose.
I'm at 11000 miles so mine isnt far away. I've heard good...

Am off to Rentech in a few days, Mike reckons half an hour to install.
Anyone got experience of this type of mod? I seem to recall someone doing this, saw mod in garage section I think, but can't for the life of me find it again :oops:
Any input...
It was £121.23 with me providing the oil. What has everyone else paid? It has only just clocked up 10,000 miles but I have decided to get it done early.
Also, how many miles have you had from the front tyres before having to replace them?

Help needed please.
Need to get the wheel balancing and alignment sorted on my Trophy. I know a few peeps have had it done to theirs with excellent results.
So i need to get it done and im looking for somone to recommend a company to me who they know are good at this type of thing. I am...
Had the 1st 12000 miles service on friday, luckily i didnt pay for the service because when i picked it up the guys in the garage had spilt petrol in the car and it stank, so as a good will gesture they picked up the cost.
Also, any ladies/gents had the problem with the spray paint rubbing...
My missus is collecting a 2000 172 tonight. Had a good poke round it yesterday and all it seemed sound, bar a few bumps and scrapes but the price is good enough. Anything specific to look out for that you know of?
Thx!
It's that time - have just passed 12k miles and it's due a service. Have booked it in with Masters of Shirley near Croydon - they reckon about 150 notes. Although I live in Brighton I'm going there because a) they're really nice people and b) I took 425 to the local Brighton dealer to get some...
I have had my car at the dealer for a while now to see if they could find out why the lamps come on after cornering as posted early last month
Turns out thay havehad to order a new steering rack as the car was unsafe to drive!!!
ANY ONE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM MUST GET IT SORTED OUT...
Woo Hoo, 10,400 miles of fun fun fun driving. Only a few small problems, (being hit up the arse and the dodgy sensor). But all in all i love the Trophy. Will be staying for a long while.
Should reach 12,000 by next week. Nice trip to France on Thursday. lol
Ooooh the time is rapidly approaching that i'm going to need to take the car in and have a service done.
Are you guys planning to take the car to Renault or another garage to have the service done.
I've heard that having the service done outside Renault will no longer invalidate the...
Have you guys noticed this?
Normally the rear windscreen is filthy which means that once you put the car into reverse gear, yes you guessed it, you get a completely obscured rear window!!!
Arggg.... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
:)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are there any trophys left - prereg or low mileage ones?
(Have part exchange so private sale is probably out of the question)
Need some work in as its all dried up at the moment :(
Anyway thats good news for the Clio Trophy forum
Offers as follows
1) 25 point inspection, oil and filter change and a wash for £60 inc. VAT
Genuine parts used, check of lights/levels/steering/suspension/brakes/wipers...
Just wondering how many of us here now have a similar plate? We're like sheep, only our wool is capsicum red...
I'll be the first red sheep to confess...
