specialist

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and as yet, haven't even got myself an RS Clio . However, that is hopefully about to change in the next week or so and I'm looking to buy a Trophy. Other than the reading I've done on the net and the usual Clio buyers guides that I've found, I can't seem to locate...

Hello, My Trophy is all booked in for a Service & Cambelt in the next week and my pockets are literally empty. . . Mainly due to the fact that this also comes in the month when the MOT, Insurance and Tax are all due. Ouch! I was just wondering if there was anything else i should be aksing the...

Hello, As Cambelts are the new 'Hot Topic' for Trophy's at the Moment can we maybe Sticky this topic so it's easy to see. Can we start a list below of dealers that people have used and been happy with for getting the work done. Just need dealer name, if the service was good or not, price...

Hi Guys, Can anyone recommend a good specialist who could replace the belts and service my T? I'm based in the north east but would travel if I had to. Cheers

Hi everyone, new here and this is my first post... 2 days ago I had an arguement with a dear and smashed my nearside headlight..Went to the main dealer for a replacement and was quoted £430 for my troubles..I told them politely to erm..keep it until I looked around to see if I could get one any...

Finally got round to fitting my mark fish springs and koni rear dampers. I measured the top of the alloy to the arch before and after fitting and after just rolling it out the garage the fronts dropped 15mm and the rear 20mm. Heres the car with standard suspension... Heres the car with...

A much discussed topic i know and ive tried to read through previous posts in case i have missed something, like everybody i would imagine, im looking at getting the cheapest insurance quote with the best cover. i use the T now as a second car and if irrc others like hoolio who i spoke to...

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...

Nice to meet you Luke 335 at Silverstone last night.. Glad you were treating George Ks old Khumos with respect they deserve ;-) How was your vibration? Find the problem? You were going fairly slowly when I eased past you going into Vale.. sorry about that! This was 200Cs first and trial...

Morning all As some of you are already aware I have now started a company supplying performance parts for Renault's and many other cars. My premises is located in Basingstoke in Hampshire just off of the M3 and I share a unit with X Sport Racing who are a well established race prearation...

here's one for the techies out there... do sensors just report or do they control? maybe it depends on the sensor???? i.e. if you get a fault code. could the fault likely be caused a dodgy sensor or could a dodgy sensor have altered the EMS to trip a fault?

Sorry guys, but I've just got a Trophy and it seems to want to cut out all the time. Also takes a tad long to start up in the morning, turns over a couple of seconds longer than I'd think normal. Even once warmed up after a long drive, put it in reverse and start to move back and it'll just...

so recently Mr Clarksons words have started to ring true. its not the noise i dont like, i love music in the car and i love listening to the massive suck of the V6 air box on sunday mornings. its just motorway road noise thats starting to get to me. having to shout at passengers, so i might...

Has anyone read this months EVO? In the fast fleet section there is a write on how much all of Harrys cars cost him for servicing etc and apparently he has just had the cambelt done on the Trophy and it cost him £1206.55!?! Apparently more than his 550 Marrenello! He obviously doesnt come on...

Morning, I know there are a few posts on this already but then the trend is always changing too. Just wondering who youa re getting the best deals from at the moment? Im currently with e-sure and their re-newal isn't looking so good so thought i'd ask around. Thanks in advance. Wigstar1

Hi, Having just completed a 1,000 miles since buying Trophy 383 from pm_air I thought it about time I shared my initial thoughts: Having wanted a Trophy since they first came out I have to say the car is great fun and lives up to the hype. I came close to buying one new to replace my Elise...

I live in Sheffield and have a Clio Trophy and wanted to know if anyone can recommend a Renault dealer in the area? Got a funny knocking sound at the front end when the car is idle and want to get it checked out. Either main Renault dealer or specialist independent. Any help would be greatly...

Hey, Does anyone know where the cheapest place to get rear suspension for trophy part number 8200 519 954. I am finding it difficult to find someone that stocks them. jsthomson

hi folks, im currently looking for a garage who can do a cambelt change aswell as the water pump and auxillary belt, can anyone recommend a garage that is in the midlands area please i dont fancy going to a main dealer cause im expeced to have to sell a kidney to fund the repair bill already...

Hi all, Can't quite believe i am doing this, but 007 and i will very very sadly have to part company. Reason being that the Mrs and i are saving for a new house, she has sold her Mini and is saving like mad and truth be told me keeping a 2.0 hot hatch isn't going down all that well. I also have...

Am wanting to spend a day on 007 in the next few weeks, a kind of 'spring clean' that i put all of my car through in Feb/March, especially now the roads seem a bit tidier after all the kacky weather. I valeted professionally for 6 years, but that was about 5 years ago now so i am a bit out of...

hi number 093 here. i replaced my standard cd player for a JVC one from halfords. with a couple of leads to link up the stalk controls to the radio. Halfords man took my dash apart but found that the plugs from the stalk control bit (just behind the clock) were not compatable with the stereo...

Would it be an idea to flag up any Trophys spotted / for sale without Sachs Dampers? I've heard some cavalier views about the dampers and fitting coilovers instead. Maybe a register of Trophy horrors.

Just wondered who could point me in the right direction for the best insurance deals on a Trophy at the moment. 35-year old, no track use, 12 years no claims so should get a half decent deal. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Specialist insurance brokers? :D

Had a run on some Dastek rollers. Best run was 156.8bhp at the wheels and 192.6bhp at the fly. Interestingly I had just fitted a green cotton IK and have yet to fit the CAFs. The difference between bonnet up and bonnet down was 4bhp. Not an exact test but give and indication to how much CAFs...
