sachs

Bought this brilliant car earlier in the year with the intention of doing a few hill climbs sprints (see my posts on here in spring about damper rates etc) - but apart from a couple of outings it hasn't been used much so unfortunately it must go. Getting valet done at the weekend so will have...

Apologies for bringing this up again but the recent spate of comments on suspension has prompted me to post. As I see it there are three options for replacing Trophy rear dampers: a) 182 Cup dampers (£65ish) b) Renault/Sachs Trophy-specific dampers (£115ish) c) Koni adjustable dampers...

Hi Guys, My front right shock is abit bouncy so think I might need a refurb soon, so planning on taking both the front sachs off and selling them. The other two are amazing, however my brother got the back left SACHs replaced with a standard shock. So I have 3 of the sachs left. Was planning on...

clio trophy 355, hi guys testing the water to see what interest i get in the trophy. Really don't know where to start the car has had an absolute fortune spent on it in the last 6 months. Me and richard of pyro motorsport( we know these cars inside out) have gave the car a complete overhaul to...

My trophy's recently started making a creaking noise which looks to be coming from the drivers side suspension. You can hear it when driving over any slight bumps in the road and especially over speed bump. Also today noticed what must be a slow puncture as the pressure on this tyre was down to...

here is my pride and joy. only owned the car for 18 months, need something bigger due to family getting bigger. always run on vpower. ktec ultra performance 182 exhaust system without silcencer, but car isn't as loud as you would think. the car is great to drive and so much fun. you really do...

Hi, I have owned a Cup packed 182 for over 4 years now, determined to keep it as long as possible. Always kind of wished for the Trophy set up so I have just invested in a full set of Trophy dampers. I was wondering what you guys could recommend to get the set up correct. Lots of advice already...

I know Renault seem to get bad reviews amongst people regarding the reliability but during my ownership I have found the Trophy really reliable. I've owned it 3 years and 4 months and had the following issues... Failed Coolant Termperature Sensor Failed Damper Seal Failed CV Boot Clip Thats...

Hi chaps, wonder if anyone can help with my issue. I've been doing quite some work to my T the last month: Front sachs refurb, fitted Ktec solid top mounts, Poly bushes fitted to lower wishbones and anti roll bar, new track rod ends, lower balljoints, koni adjustable rear dampers, mark fish...

I'm based in Berkshire and I want to upgrade from 2 to 3 stars so I'm after some guidance on buying a used Trophy. When you bought your used Trophy did you get a professional independent inspection carried out? If so, who did you use & would you rate their service? If not, what did you check...

Hi, I'm selling my trophy due having a little baby girl to look after (mine). The Trophy is just parked up and I need a larger car for prams, dogs and everything else that goes with a family. The car has done 56,072miles and is in superb condition Rear quarters and back window were tinted by...

Anyone fancy one, very limited? http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default ... ryId=23747

I've been trauling through suspension threads for the last hour and can't find an answer. Where does everyone buy them from? And, What is 'revalving'? Is it just matching the damping settings to OE spec or is it something specialist that the likes of MF would do? Thanks

Had the speedlines sorted out so it was time to get them on the car and take the 182 wheels off. Had them done at "The Wheel Specialist" in edinburgh and i must say the price was cheap and the job is spot on with almost an excact match.

Righto, my front sachs started leaking so i've removed them from the car, sent them off to BG to be stripped, they've sent them back to me to be blasted and coated then i'm sending them back for refitting. While that's being done i'm working on the rest of the susp. Removed the arch liners and...

Can anyone tell me the weight of two sachs dampers regarding postage to BG?? I'm taking mine off on sunday and think it'll be too late to book a parcel force collection for Monday to get them to arrive Tuesday. So if someone can be kind enough, if they remember! the weight of their parcel, i can...

Very reluctant sale. However need a cheap run around to commute to new job and park in the street and not mind getting parking dents etc. The Car.. absolutely no expense spared. Full Service history with Renault and Renault Specialists, only recently serviced by FRED in Birmingham. - 45k Miles...

Good day chaps! My recent MOT revealed a leaking driver's side damper. So it's my intention to whip the shocks off, send them to BG for refurb, off which i have just emailed. Just a note, I emailed Mark Fish first, who basically said use BG as they have the market covered for this job. While...

Hi folks, I know there have been several threads on this topic and I have also looked on cliosport. I had been thinking I would get new ball joints without the wishbone and fit them to my trophy and at the same time fit uprated poly bushes to the wishbone. After reading on cliosport the...

Tonight I was looking at my Trophy and something wasn't right with the stance, jacked it up to find the driver side front spring broken. Somehow it had managed to break and go under the upper half??? So the car sits higher on that side now :? Before I phone Renault tomorrow I was considering...

Used rear Sachs damper/s. Mines leaking, if anyone has one spare they could send until I get a pair of new ones it'd greatly apprechiated. Obiously would pay for it and postage :) dm me

Fitted whilst the Sachs were off being refurbished; have done approx 4k miles with no problems. Ideal if you're sending the dampers off and still need the car. Looking for £40 collected or £50 posted via Courier. Cheers, Rhod

WANTED NEARSIDE FRONT DAMPER/SHOCK. Now i know some of you guys have some spares hidden away in a dusty box under the stairs [-X , how about some cash in your wallet in exchange. Just the near side (passenger)front shock only any condition fit for a refurb will do. Cash waiting. PM me

I feel the shame already Just a little comparison, I love them both though Basically I got offered these cheap, they'd done relatively no miles and as I dont intend to drive the trophy hard this year at all then I thought why not enjoy the added looks low cars give....atleast to...

Hi, I test drove a Megane 250 Cup and Clio Sport 200 back to back today and I can't decide which is better. The car will mainly be a daily driver with occasional trackday use. The handling of both is great but the Megane might be a better car to live with day to day (if only it looked better)...

Hello All! Got the opportunity to clean the new Trophy or Rory as my 3 yr old daughter calls him, now been in my ownership for a week and loving it, completely standard, need some new exhaust brackets (wonky tail pipes) and the sachs rebuilding ASAP, apart from that its mint 1 owner, and been...

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...

hi, It is with much regret that I am putting #322 Up for Sale. :( I want to pay off my student loan and get a cheap run about - I'm just not doing the Trophy justice driving it back and forward to work! Uploaded with ImageShack.us 2005/55 Renaultsport Clio Trophy - current milage is...

Handling been shot lately and checked the tyres, 1 was on 7mm and the other on 2mm! Long story but had a puncture on the other 7mm and have been running a spare for a few months. Just got back from a local garage who fitted a new PS3 and did the allignment and filled the tyres with Nitrogen...
