Spotted a fellow Trophy owner at Mallory on Sat, unfortunatley it was while I was trying to repair a snapped coolant hose so I didn't get a chance to pop over for a chat. Anyone? Steve

I am getting a background noise only when moving. Sounds a bit boomy. This happens even when moving with the clutch in. I don't think its the exhaust. Seems to be getting worse. I think its something to do with the drive. Gear box seems ok. I know I'm being a bit vague but any bright ideas. Thanks.

Hi All Unfortunately somebody hit my Trophy a couple of weeks ago and as a result the car is a right off. To summarise the damage amounts to a new rear left quarter panel possible new passenger door. On the right side I was pushed into the curb which has bent the stub axle and knackered the...

Here we go.. My original plan was to buy a 182 and upgrade the seats, suspension and wheels. But when I worked it out it was slightly cheaper to go all out and buy a Trophy. Number 214/500 42k Miles, FSH, MOT, Tax, VERY good bodywork for the milage, Ran smoothley, and a decent price. Yesss...

The best laid plans etc ...... This almost happened last year when I expected to return to live in Switzerland, but it didn’t work out then. Now with the situation here at work not going in the right direction I have to face facts and sell. 316/500 55 Reg September 2005 37888 miles (as at...

My XBOX suffered from this at the weekend! :( sod' s law its around 4 years old so out of warranty! I'm looking to repair it myself... anyone know if i NEED the repair kit? Or can I just get a tube of thermal paste, remove the X clamp, put the paste on and screw back down?

Read a few topics on how moving the wires about under passenger seat makes this fault go away. tried that a few times and it does work. But not a permanant remedy... After having a look at it today the reason for this fault is that the wiring is getting caught in the seat runners and mine were...

2005 (55) Renaultsport Clio 182 Trophy. I am the second owner of the car, which I purchased at 19,500 miles. Currently just gone past 40,000 Miles. The car has been very reliable throughout its life and has been a pleasure to own. I drive the Trophy most days and always make sure the engine...

Any suggestions lol?

Copied this off of cliosport; Some of you may remember my original thread asking if I should buy a certain high mileage trophy that was used as a company car, long story short I did and got it at a good price . Finally got her up and running so I thought I would post some pictures. It's been...

2 of my element lines appear to have packed up, it's not a major worry as they're out of my line of sight but still annoying! They were working last week and haven't been touched etc. Does anyone know if they're repairable or will I need a new window? Or are they just part of that whole french...

I have received my steering wheel back from getting re-trimmed. As i said in a previous post when looking for a rough 2nd hand steering wheel I had this done at http://www.gibsontrimming.com/ which is miles away from me so everything was done by email and phone, but I'm sure that if you're...

Hi, Went to look at a clio trophy yesterday at a dealer in leeds. does the drivers recaro seat have catchers both side to move the seat back and forward. like the passangers? As there was no catch on the right hand side, just one on the left . i thought it may have snapped off? are they cheap...

I'm playing with a few ideas for the winter rebuild, and one of which maybe the Sachs dampers making way for some coilovers. What kind of price have used dampers been going for? Also these have been refurb'd 1000 miles ago so please bear this in mind :wink: Any thought welcome. Chris

Anybody used either company?? Both prices are around the same, with the fitting of new tires. Wheel repair center is in Preston which isn't too far away. Many thank Richard

Hey all! I have refitted the standard head unit and some cheap speakers to my trophy. Therefore i have my focal component setup for sale! These speakers are designed for high sound quality and in a different league to the usual crap you see in the shops. Here are a few details: 2-way 13cm...

I thought i'd give this a whirl on here rather than Cliosport, seeing as i know i'll be bombardered by answers like "Its your Tdc sensor" Now i'm not saying it isn't that, but i'm looking for someone to answer who has been through the exact same problem :wink: Turn on ign, everything lights...

Clio 172 & 3 or 4 R26R's at Donington. Sorry had to dash but wifey was getting a kitchen designer out & didn't want any huge shocks :lol:

I have a trade account with speedline UK which hasn't been used for AGES as i just don't have time to sell car parts any more on top of my main job & building various peoples track cars. Anyway i rang up earlier to order a new chrono for my track 106 as one of mine bit the dust in a high speed...
