A question for those of you who have had a car written off or just those who happen to know – how do you go about agreeing the settlement? – Do you have much sway with the value that they give you for the car or is it basically in the hands of the thieves, oops, I mean...

Want to keep the Trophy looking good.
Think my car's had permagaurd recently applied to it (only had the car a couple of weeks).
Anyone else had this done? How often do you need to do it?
Any other tips for keeping it tip top?
Thanks,
Karl.
Well, it hasn't been long in my hands and already I've decided that it's time to be a bit braver! I got married a couple a months ago as many of you know, and bought the R26 to replace my beloved Trophy #185. Having realised that I've probably only got a couple of years left to be utterly...
Hi everyone!
As some may remember, I was in the market originally for a 993/996. Unfortunately in the interim I've bought another flat which means that my budget has been reduced a bit :(
I'm actually having a HUGE problem trying to decide what to buy...
- Has to be unique
- Should be...
My car needs a new set of front pads. I've decided on buying Ferodo DS2500's but everywhere I look the prices seem so largely different.
The best price I have found so far is £99.98 for the pair. Does anyone know of any company that sells them cheaper or is this the best I'm really likely...
My village petrol station is being converted to Texaco, and next nearest one is the same, hence my email to Texaco UK

I will be tentatively selling the trophy due to needing a bigger car :(
I've only had this beauty for 5 months but I need something with a bigger boot and 5 doors (looking at a Megane 225 Cup). I have personally done 5500 miles and the owner before did 10000. She's currently got 15,500 on the...
A few questions on these as I don't really know much about them!
can you just buy a set of camber bolts i.e. h&r and get them fitted?
any need for lowering springs or anything?
how much are they and how much are they fitted/set-up?
do they drastically improve handling on their own...
I have been back and too to Renault with a rumble noise from the engine of my Trophy since I bought it. Each time they say they can't hear it, or that its a normal characteristic. So I took hime to Carlton Garage, Exmouth (Ren Specialist) for his 24k service and they traced the fault to the...
Hello all, sorry it's been a while but all i've been doing is driving, I've put 2000 on the clock in 3 weeks. I had to before anyone starts, I blame tha VW add about "have you ever just gone for a night drive".
Anyway putting a new stereo in the car and was wondering if there was anything that...
I'm not happy with my Ren dealer (City Motors Bristol), they are a bunch of moorons! I have been given Carlton Garage in Exmouth as being a very good service. Has anyone used them? Also, this is quite a drive from Thornbury, near Bristol, can anyone point me to a good Ren Specialist around...
...after a year or so of faffing about (well I did have to save up :lol: ) ive finally bought myself Trophy No. 131 (tup)
Bought from my local dealer at ware garages, who did me a fantastic deal both on the trophy and on my trade-in, its a one (female) owner, 4,600 mile, 55reg which has...
Hi all,
Firstly let me start by saying hello to you all and congratulations on an excellent informative and interesting website.
We are in the proccess of searching for a 182 Trophy in or reasonably close to Hertfordshire hoping to pay less than £10k. I was firstly after a little bit of...
Coming up for my 24K service and just wanted to know where people near me went. I live near stansted.
All I seem to hear is ren-tech, ren-tech, but there is no way im going to portsmoth to service my car! well maybe lol
Cheers
My Trophy has developed a subtle engine fault over the last couple of months. There is a distinct missfire at 2500 RPM (in neutral) and has become a little sluggish under acceleration, especially from lower revs. It sounds rough too. I have also noticed a rumble, in tick-over, from the cambelt...

Just got the replacement for the Trophy yesterday. 20k miles on the clock and paid £14,750 from a trader completely factory standard. I feel guilty for saying it but it's better than the Trophy in every aspect in my opinion:
The clutch pedal is harder, the brake pedal is harder and has...
Firstly I'd like to point out I've had permission from the moderators for this post as it could be viewed as an 'advert'
Some background: at some stage, and 'when' will depend on many factors, the dampers will need replacing/rebuilding. The replace cost is prohibative and there's...

Clio trophy number 341 of 500 in the world! I have another child on the way and just had to pay for conservatory so it has to go. It has had a service/oil change at GDI (Renault specialist) as well as braided brake lines, semi carbon discs with ferrodo racing pads at 4k miles and its yearly...
Now that the red beast has died (see R.I.P. #230 post in clio discussion) I've got my eye on a Ford Focus RS.
On looking through tuning mags such as Performance Ford I noticed that a number of people have tuned their RS's to 400bhp and beyond, however, their 0-60 times haven't improved in...
... probably more direct at Nik this as he's the brake specialist but any idea if these are any good?
