servicing

Hi All, Have just registered on the site and thought i'd introduce myself. I don't have a Trophy just yet but I'm looking to get one in the next few months. I'm currently driving a JDM FD2 Honda Civic Type R which I imported approx 18 months ago. The car's an absolute cracker but unfortunately...

I have a problem with it. When I go round a corner it feels quite light and tends to understeer and feel light at the front end. Furthermore if I push even slightly more the back end comes round. At first I thought I had it wrong but as daft as it sounds I went out to see if I did and provoke...

Yo I've just booked my car in for its 36k at Angelworks in St Neots. It's being done next month. I've also ordered some bits and bobs to be fitted at the same time - the standard brake upgrade package of Brembo HCs, DS2500s and braided lines. Got that lot for £250 delivered from K-Tec...

Hi Guys! I've looked through a previous post for the servicing intervals and I've noticed it says change fuel filter after 150k! is this true? I would have thought that it would need changing before then, as I was thinking that mine which has done 26k would be due for one by now!? any ideas if...

I've had my Trophy for over 3 years now and I love it, it's the longest I've kept a car out of choice (I once had a 106 diesel for a lot longer when I was a poor student). When I'm being sensible I plan on keeping it forever as I truely think it will be a special motor in years to come, I...

Spotted a Trophy on Montargis way in Crowborough sunday, anyone off here? Looked pretty clean considering we had 8 inches of snow on the ground!

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...

Hi there, I recently bought myself a 2002 Clio 172, and it seems to have a bit of a problem with condensation. It seems to get quite steamed up in there, and takes longer than I would expect to clear even with the fans on max. From what I have read, and a bit of common sense, I think that the...

Since I've owned my T the Air con has been totally useless 'I know should have got it serviced when it was hot!' lol. I've had the car since 15k and I've used it only a couple of times ever! I just wanted to know if anyone else's Air con is useless? or maybe it's a 'common' fault!? or if it just...

My Trophy is currently at 34k miles and i'm looking to get the 36k service done aux belt and also i'm considering getting the cam belt done at the same time as the car will getting towards 5 years old. I got a quote of RS Murray & Sons today for the service, aux belt + cam belt £778 all in...

I have Trophy Number 162 advertised pretty much everywhere, so if anyone is looking for a very clean throughout Trophy, with up-specced 182 interior please give me a call. Former keeper and enthusiast Mike from here spent plenty on servicing, brakes and early cambelt. Plus new Speedlines and...

My Sachs have now been rebuilt at a cost of £583.20 (inc VAT) by BG Motorsport. A brilliant service, very quick turnaround and smiles all round. However, I am a little frustrated with Renault. Clearly, when deciding how to see off the 182 they saw 1000 or so Sachs suspension units and...

Hi, has anyone got any pointers on what I may need to look out for since the car is now in its mid years, I've owned my 440 since Sept 2006, 44k miles, always looked after by a renault dealer, all standard apart from the footwell mats, next big thing will be the cam & aux belts to do next...

Hi all, Unfortunately the trophy is for sale - £7200 ono :( !!! Will be a great shame to see it go, its been so much fun and absolutely faultless!! The car is in standard spec and I am the 3rd owner, all off which have looked after the car very well. It has Full Renault service...

If i'm quite honest, I don't know much about how to maintain a car myself...always having to get my mates and their tools to help me out. Which isn't really a problem, but I want to start getting more involved. (bikes not a problem..but cars..i'm lost) I bought my Trophy around June time with...

Hi All apologises for my 1st post to be a request but im going to look at the following Trophy tomorrow and was wondering if any new any history on this car: Reg: 145AEO http://www2.autotrader.co.uk/classif...1054&logcode=p Thanks In Advance Stu

Hello ! 8) Thought I would start a thread for all those who are about to get their Trophy's Remapped by Paul at RS Tuning so we can all post our comments, views, results etc... Last year (8/10/08) I had my Trophy put on the RR at RS Tuning. The car was standard and made 162.3 BHP and 140...

time may be up for #356 just recently got married and possibly 356 may now be a little to small for our needs. The wife has her heart set on me getting a 330CI or 330 convertible, cos it looks "posh", and i was thinking of going for a 230 R26. BUT....... the question I want to throw out there...

Ive put together some theory questions, see how well you do... :) Ill be honest, when I was reading through the book there was one or two of the following questions I didnt know. (1) A pelican crossing that crosses the road in a STRAIGHT line and has a central island MUST be treated as…...

Short story, my clio has bankrupt me and i need to fix it before i sell it in order to sort out my finances. Damn i miss driving it though, this is the first time i've not driven it for more than 2 days since i got it 13k miles ago :( Long story: I loved trophies when they were released but was...

i get that he is a Trophy tuning specialist from the sounds of it, but is this just one guy? where is he and what can he do? what have you had done by Mark? would you recommend him?

i went down to my local tesco today and saw a lovely s2 lotus exige in black. ive never seen one up close and can say it looks amazing. how much of a gap is is to a trophy? is it best for this sort of car be in a garage as i do not have one and that it would be parked outside on a main road...

one of my rear wheel bearings is on its way out and i need to get it sorted asap as i am flat out at work and cant get a week day to go and get it sorted.. i've been onto rentech who have done all the servicing on my 182 but as we all know they are choker and its like that for the next 6 weeks...

so i organised a rolling road day a couple of months back and my car came out at 165bhp i put it down to needing a service, so i rang renault and they said it wasnt due a service so that wont be the reason its down on power. took it to my mates garage for a service instead last week today...

2003/03 Clio 172 Cup in Mondial Blue. 93000m with FSH, a folder full of invoices including servicing, discs and pads, KTEC cat back exhaust, braided lines, cam belt and aux belt change at 72000m. Just had new coil pack at a cost of £250+VAT. Only two owners. Refurbished alloys and good tyres...

thought i would just say hi, i have lovely 04 182 full fat cup and what great cars. A friend of mine has a trophy and told me about the site so thought i would sign up. I have been a big corrado enthusiast up until this point and regularly used there forum as it was a great wealth of knowledge...

1) I have calculated that, when taking the car for an MOT, the probability the brakes fail is 1/10, the headlights fail is 1/4 and the wipers fail is 1/5. But what's the probability only one of the parts fails? 2) Point P lies on the curve y = x2 - 6x - 16 where m = 0. What are the...

Hi everyone, I'm a 23yr old Belgian guy, I've always adored the Trophy since I first read about it in Evo. Some things kept me from buying though, as a student my budget is quite limited (low GBP came to the rescue), the fact that it'll be RHD (prepared to live with that) but most of all... I'm...

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...

Has anyone here fitted an LSD to their Trophy? Any idea as to what options are available in terms of LSD's for the 182/Trophy? Many thanks :D
