repair

I'm looking at getting the original wheels refurbished in the near future but I cannot find a place that will spray them in IXELL paint. I am also wary that by painting them with a water based paint they will bubble again, which I don't want. Has anybody either had theirs refurbished in paint...

Chaps, I have picked up a Trophy recently and in my ignorance, have bought from a dealer (p/x) but the car has no cat. It has a decat onto a miltek unit and is way to loud for me! It was MOTd before i collected and passed so no idea how that happened and to be honest, will be claling the dealer...

Due to a lovely white van man forcing me off into a kerb earlier i now have a need for 1 x Trophy Turini, decent condition etc, if anyones got one kicking about let me know!!

I have a small scuff on my dash. Anyone know where to get the paint to re-spray it? Or should I just get a replacement. Seen them for around £50. Any advice would be very helpful.

Likle they say. . . . . . Dont see one for ages then two come along at once. Although they were a good 80 miles apart. 1. Coming along the A14 Eastbound towards the Brampton Hut roundabout around 7.45am 2. In or near Shirley with the big Tesco on the roundabout, saw you heading along past the...

Shit I just heard a loud bang from outside, looked out the window to find todays strong winds have blown tiles clean off my roof onto my beloved trophy, landed square on the bonet denting it and smashed my wing and headlight. Spent the past 4 years doing everything I could to keep it...

Hi, I'm in the market for a trophy, but have seen a few mentioned on here that have been write off or scrapped. I don't want to end up buying one that has been write off previously so was wandering if their is a list off trophy's that have been write off anywhere? I have searched but didn't find...

Yet Again another problem with the Trophy. After going through all the oil level stuff and me buying a oil level sensor (getting fitted on tues) This light now comes up on the car when i start it in the morning. After about 3/4 mins it goes off and does not come back on untill the next again...

Unfortunately, the time has come where I can't put this off any longer, it is with great regret that I am offering my Trophy up for sale. I need a 5 door car, as running my 16 month old daughter around in the back is just not practical, and with a long term back injury, I find it painful...

Hi all. I have had a problem with my central locking since I bought the Trophy in November. The problem is that the central locking keeps locking and unlocking itself madly whilst driving and its become a lot worse as time has gone on. I have tried researching all over the internet what it could...

the standard back box (one of them) is leaking, bearing in mind only had it for 2 weeks, i looked at the MOT and its advised 'slight deterioration mid/back sections' so i went back to the place i bought it, they said 'take it to the garage', so i did. 'about 4-5 hrs we will need the car for', as...

Lol I know this is a longshot My dampers have been away for refurb for over 3 weeks now and I get a different excuse everyday. I am doing a trackday at donnington this Monday 25Th July. I need to borrow some dampers for the day :D Obviously would pay if they were damaged and happy to pay...

Seen on the autotrader website with the wrong wheels on... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p

It may just be me being worried or the road angle or something, but i seem to feel my front n/s bounces more than the o/s on flat full road width speed bumps where i can feel both rebound at the same time more or less, and there is a little knocking noise every now and then, i know the knocking...

Hi guys. Last week I had my wheels refurbished at the Wheel Repair Centre in Preston, they have done a fantastic job i'm really pleased with the results. They were shot blasted and powdercoated in Anthracite, they are not an exact match as the original paint but are very close, maybe a shade...

Good morning all. normally i enjoy the attention i get when i drive the T around however last night, my pride and joy landed me in hot water and now needing new parts. driving home last night back to my student house with friends, we were waiting at lights (those of you who know southampton...

Been offered some, only 3 months old with PE2 tires wheels have done less than 1k. £600 recon it's worth it? As I'm needing new tire soon and I am needing to drop mine off at wheel repair centre again as the lacquer has small cracks appearing. Plus I have always liked the 2118

Hi, just bought 426, and pretty sure the drivers shock needs refurbing, bit of bounce and very crashy. will get refurbed, but my question is, I need to use the car (looking for number 2 vehicle at the mo) am I ok to use the trophy in the meantime? Or will this further add to the shock damage and...

I've just had an epiphany! All this time I've been carrying round the renault jack set when I don't even have a spare tyre! Does the wheel need to be off the ground if I needed to use that tyre weld stuff?

Hi i have always said on all my cars i have owned if engine required major repair i.e. piston bent valve etc.. I would put uprated internals in and bolt a turbo on (if only it was that easy:-)) Just woundered wat peoples views are on turbo trophy? (Just to add there is nothing wrong with the...

Hi, Well it that time where I have to get the belts (timimg etc)done... what belts get done and how much does it normally cost.. Renault are quoting £658. Does that sound resonable or should i look around. regards, jsthomson

Finally managed to get myself a 182 after years of wanting one. Never thought i'd be lucky enough to get a Trophy. Found it on a salvage site that my dad was using for work and pursuaded him to get it. Its no. 400/500 and needs a bit of work lol. When i first got it home

My rear pads need replacing very soon i've used the search facility and found lots of posts regarding brakes etc. Now i know the brakes at the rear only take about 20%, so i was going to go for either the standard renault OEM pads or the Ferodo DS2500's which i think quite a few people are...

I noticed my exhaust was blowing so went under the car to check it out and felt alot of air blowing from where the mid section of the exhaust joins the Cat, I thought it was blowing from the clamp at first and after renewing it and fitting it several times I eventually found out it wasn't the...
