2005/05 Renaultsport Clio Trophy 182. Regrettably I'm putting my Clio Trophy up for sale, I have owned the car for 6 years. The reason for the sale is that I'm emigrating to Canada at the end of November and as much as I'd love to take it with me I need the money and it just wouldn't be...

Hi there - after a very very long sales process, I am from last Wednesday the proud owner of Trophy #478. The register has more details, but quick summary is got the car, found a number of issues I should have spotted myself - the dealer agreed to take them on and the whole thing took 7 weeks...

Since I withdrew from sale in 2011 (previous thread here with further details), #167 has done another 10K quick and reliable miles. Still puts a smile on my face with every drive and I hope it goes to a good home. Selling because we now have 2 other cars and the Trophy is not getting used...

The trophy I'm picking up has a small burn on the drivers seat has anyone ever got this repaired

hello I have a problem with the fuel indicator, It should be at the fuel pump (gasoline) since it is filter+pump+fuel swimmer maybe is necessary to change it for fixing , but I prefere to use it more, it has 40 000 km to be changed. is there any idea how to repair it or it is not possible to...

When one of my Sachs failed recently I was in a real dilemma over what to do. To have them refurbished is the best part of £500 just for the front two shocks and there’s no real warranty on the repair. Combine that with the horror stories of people having them refurbished just for them to either...

Sorry to introuduce myself under these conditions but just copied across a thread I put up on CS, apoligies that I dont have the build no for this Trophy but reg plate is SM55 AZF I'm sure 90% of garages do not have a clue! I thought I was onto a winner here -...

Beware cat D I've just hpi'd save your money. For anyone interested he wants £3500. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-RENAULT-CLIO-RENAULT-SPORT-TROPHY-182-RED-/321219045932?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4aca25aa2c

Test drove a trophy today. On full left lock there was a grinding noise (sorry not sure how to describe it) coming from the right front suspension. Any idea what that might be possible?

Happens if don't change very gently from 1st to 2nd, also when I accelerate and lift off as well as well as when down-changing under engine load (say 5th to 2nd @ 30mph). Does this sound like worn engine/gearbox mounts? My other theory was that it is the exhaust knocking as currently I have...

I’m selling my Clio Trophy, number 320. This must be the best value Trophy you can get ! You'll notice I've a previous advert in the forum but have now set the price to sell at £3,500 ...

I’m selling number 320. Edinburgh, near the airport and happy to pick you up. Excellent condition, paintwork excellent and interior spotless. I planned to keep it and looked for a very good one without worrying about mileage. Over the last few months I have started the process of refreshing...

Hi everyone. I sadly have to sell 224 to free up a bit more money towards a house deposit. I’m the 3rd owner and I will miss this car hugely. I’ve owned it since October 2009, have done quite a lot of mileage in it and it’s never let me down once. HPI clear. The car has a full service...

Need some quick expert advice please I have a 182 cup pack. Been offered front trophy suspension with hub only thing is the one damper needs repairing. My question is it worth getting just front and how much to repair generally Cheers

Easy?? I have acquired a scratch on mine and it's bugging me to the point that i've tried various sticker designs to try and cover it up but with not much success:mad: Cheers

Has a similar problem as someone else did on here, going down a hill, nothing i could do :(

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...

Do I spend the extra on Supercharging my T or buying a V6? decisions ...

Hi. I have been having a few problems while driving like country type of Roads not been impressed by the handling of my car :-( I began to realise something ain't right coz ma old 182 handled better than this. Which isn't right. Anyway cut a long story short. I pushed down on the front...

My passanger side Recaro seat isn't sliding. It will eventually go when you pull up hard on the lever and seems to slide freer in forward but not well at all backwards. Mean just sliding not tilting, tilts fine Anyone had same problem? Am I right in saying that the sliding mechanism is a...

Hi All I used to be an owner of a trophy and am looking to now buy another one as I need something a little more practical. Whilst looking at a trophy for sale I noticed when trying the latch of the recaro that the seat didn't disengage the runner and pull forward. I have heard about the...

Hi Guys, I have a single Michelin Pilot Exalto which I need to shift. It has about 5-6mm of tread left but it has a puncture (still has a small screw in it). The puncture is right in the middle of the tread so could be repaired successfully. Is this any good to anyone? Thanks, MaKS

Following on from some other topics and comments regarding Sachs and rebuilds, has anyone changed the Sachs for something else, if so what are the options? I know the Sachs are the selling point of the Trophy, but as there is a lack of new stock and the refurbs do not seem to last I am...

Had the Trophy on track last night and there is a knocking noise from the rear under hard braking, worse when trail braking and lifting a inside wheel. Is it the exhaust hitting, engine mount? Cheers

The exhaust manifold on my T seems to have a large dent. Where the manifold comes down past the anti-roll bar there is a large dent however this seems to be in the perfect position for it to fit around the anti-roll bar. Not sure whether or not this is supposed to be there. If the engine has...
