repair

Dear All, Travelling down the A40 towards Monmouth today a pipe was in the left hand lane which I couldn't avoid due to traffic on my right. I thought to myself, "that doesn't look too big, I'll drive straight over it." Oh how I was wrong. The pipe scored the underneath of my car (i don't...

Classic Qualcast Suffolk Punch cylinder mower. Had it for a couple of years and has always performed faultlessly. Anyone who has had a Qualcast will know they are the Rolls Royce of mowers. I'm selling for spares or repair as last time I used it she coughed, spluttered and cut out. I'm...

I've been told by a Renault dealer that the 2litre in these, presumably all 182s, is supposed to whistle when running...??? And no i don't mean a little rendition of 'my 'ol man's a dustman'!

=D> ....i think people are finally starting to realise trophy's are amazing cars and people can't keep selling them for peanuts!!...mine was £9k last september there is no way on earth i would let it go for under £7k especially as it took me over 8 months to source such a minter (093)

So while having my Trophy serviced the below was discovered on the passenger side drive shaft, unfortunately it seems Renault in there infinite wisdom no longer produce the repair kit so the only option if to replace the whole driveshaft! Any help/ideas or better still anyone with one of the...

There seems to be a worryingly high number of Trophy's that have had their gearbox replaced. I know most people drive them enthusiastically but the number still 'appears' high considering the relatively low mileage and age of these cars. Am interested to get an idea: 1. How many T's have had...

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...

Bit of a weird one, but thought it might be interesting to find out what everyone on here does for a living! I work for a Pharmaceutical Company....... (No its not another name for a drug dealer :lol: )

Hello all, I am posting on here due to a serious problem I am having at the moment with Renault regarding the suspension on my Trophy. The front right damper has cracked causing it to leak and it therefore needs replacing. Unfortunately, both my dealership and Renault Customer Services have...

Hi Anyone know what this is ? when looking at the front of the car on the right side between the edge of the lower grill and fog light if you look under the car you can just see a cylindricle shaped thing that looks like a coil. Well on mine it looks like there is some fluid leaking from it...

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...

A few weeks ago when driving home I managed to do the impossible and spin the Trophy!! I was on a road with little grip and was unfortunate that it was very cold, damp and signs of somekind of oil type fluid on the road. As I spun the car I hit the kerb which forced the rear wheel under the car...

Has anyone got any info on how the warrenty works with regard to parts? Just want to know what to say if they say, they cant give me a new driveshaft because it has a non standard air freshener or something lol

Hi guys hope you are all enjoying slippery roads in the Trophy, I am and as you can see I am clocking miles up. Bought Trophy in March with11500miles and now on 22000 (plus now as just drove to Edinburgh). However, as much as I am enjoying the drive and car the wee red devil has started to...

Had my 2nd year service done here and they do not use silkolene pros 5w40 they said they found it broke down ?

My drivers door on the Trophy is catching the bodywork and causing the paint to chip off on the door and body. I took it to my local franchised bodyshop and they said it would be covered under warranty but I would have to take it to Renault garage to get approved then past back to them. Three...

A while back I clipped my wing mirror reversing into a garage. Split a big chunk out of the black plastic moulding part of the mirror – the red housing, mirror and works are all fine. Like a fool I didn’t retrieve the missing pieces otherwise I’d glue them back in. Is...
