sachs

Shock absorber wear is usually very gradual and occurs without the driver's knowledge. Worn shock absorbers cause damage to other components such as tyres, the steering system, track rods or wheel bearings - not changing the shock absorbers can lead to additional expenditure on other components...

I recently saw a few people on here saying that, now the weather is warmer, they have adjusted their dampers to a stiffer setting. I was puzzled by this. Well, maybe sceptical is the word. I could see that it would improve the T's handling, but I thought that it would feel harsh and be a...

I am looking to buy a Trophy and wonder does anyone have knowledge of car No. 232/500? I went to see this car yesterday at a local used car dealer and have a few concerns. The dealer is fitting new rear discs and shockers due to wear and tear (fairly common at this milage I understand) however...

I bought a used Trophy recently that had been fitted with KW V2 coilovers for track use. I'm thinking of switching back to the OE sachs dampers. The sachs were taken off at around 40k miles - should I get them serviced before I re-fit them? Is there any way to tell if they need doing while...

Hi All, I'm looking for some OE sachs rear dampers for my Clio Trophy. Cash waiting. Jake

Hi All, Well today I decided to check the rear disc pads, which I did, but ended up cleaning the inside wheels, arches and shocks. (sad muppet) :) Decided to do the fronts and noticed the adjustable shocks still had the locking pins in !!!! Well they don't now, couldn't help myself from...

Morning all! Picked up my Trophy beginning of Feb, and ive just started noticing oil spots on my drive ( my mother wasnt impressed ) im no mechanic but it looks like its from the rear suspension on the passenger side, its dripping from the bottom, not sure if theres a seal broken somewhere or...

Hi everyone, Yet another couple of questions...... The Trophy I bought last Saturday still has 2 months warranty remaining (the advance one), as it was bought by the last owner as a Renault used car only 10 months ago. I'm used to French cars having problems, but as I've still got this...

Well Im now an old bastard. 21 today! Everyone in the family knows how much I actually love my Trophy so I got this..... :mrgreen:

Having been snowed in two years running, I'm thinking my trophy has a profound disslike to snow. Ok, I know it is not designed for it. I love my Trophy, but this gets me down every year. My dad has a VW Passat oil burner (No I say!) and has no problems what so ever. So people, what cars are good...

Arrived Today. Cant wait to fit them and test them out. Ill fit them before the weekend. Here are some pics.

Just to make other members aware that a clio on ebay is infact a CAT D repair, it is not advertised on ebay but the garage that look after me HPI'd it to find out that It had been involved in a collision, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2005-RENAULT-CLIO ... 240%3A1318

About to take 319 for a test-drive/kickabout. Very excited - if she's decent I'll whack down a deposit and pick her up next weekend. Time to find out if these cars are as fun as you lot say they are! Anyone know anything about 319? Cheers!

Going to have the alignment/tracking, camber settings ajusted. So many threads on here with varying opinion. I use the trophy as my daily drive and trackday toy when Im in the mood which usually involves driving to the ring lol! I need to know the factory settings if possible and please the...

:oops: Fed up of my broken trophy suspension, i'll need to get some temporary suspension to use while the sachs are up being refurbed at the front, and i'll have to shell out £200-300 for some koni or sachs rear dampers. Then i think, why not just chuck some bilstein or H&R coilovers on...

Well ive been daydreaming of owning a trophy since 2005 when they came out and ive finally got round to it! :D :D Hopefully its as good as i recon: 1 actual owner 24,000 miles Full service history very straight and clean good exaltos all round couple of honest stonechips but to be expected...

To all those who are looking for a Trophy or have recently purchased one (there seem to be many at present!). What's led you to your purchase?.. Wondering if something specific has sparked interest, like a magazine article or suchlike?

I'm going to look at an '05 with 22k on the clock in a couple of hours at a local garage, they reckon it's 24/500. I don't see it registered here so maybe not a forum user but just thought it was worth a quick check. Also, being new to this model is there anything I should be looking for? I...

What should i be paying for 2nd hand trophy shocks??

unfortunatly due to health and therefore financial reasons im having to sell the trophy. #70/500 very reluctant sale but i have been quite ill for the last 6 months and simply cant afford to keep her. some of you may remember the car as it was owned by a member on here and is on the owners...

I don't think it's a repost on here. http://www.auto-journals.com/content/cliot1.html

Advice Please!! Just had my car MOT'd today and the guy at the garage mentioned that he felt the front end a bit bouncy on the roads he took the car for a quick drive on. I said that I had noticed this recently too and asked him if he thought that there was a fault with the dampers, to which he...

Dudes, I am fuming. My Trophy went in for its third (i.e. north of £500) service a month ago at AKS Renault in Yeovil. Today it went for its first MOT at my trusted independent garage, local to work, who service my van fleet. It failed, as the rear pads are worn down to almost nothing, and...

my car needs its first mot next week so gunna ask the chap to remove the damper pins so i can start adjusting. i wont be going on any trackdays....yet but wanna know what sort of settings is best for the car like can you make them even harder and will i notice it alot or not?

Does anyone know whether 182 Cup dampers will fit a Trophy? Reason I ask is that my nearside front damper has a loose remote reservoir and has leaked oil and is therefore shot. My car has done only 31000 miles. I've only a few days left of my warranty (end of Aug, great timing!!) and will try...

:D

Went for a back road blast last night and a lovely badger seem to take a liking to the front of no 190 :( Not too much damage considering it like hitting a small brick wall, new from splitter (again) seems to have bronen the front part of the passenger side wheel arch liner and there is some...
