steering

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...

This kit connects to the standard head unit and allows retainability of some of the stereo's steering wheel controls when using it in conjection with an ipod. The scroll wheel on the back of the steering wheel controls can be used to skip through and roll back songs and scroll through the cover...

Over the last few weeks I've noticed a noise coming from the front right of the car when I'm turning in to the left. I wouldn't describe it as a 'knock', it's more of a 'whump-whump-whump' if that makes any sense (it does in my head at least). My first instinct was a wheel bearing on it's way...

Morning . Just wondering as anyone got slight tints alround and does it cut out the heat were getting atm. Coz I dunno about you guys but our non UV protective windows are causing the cars to hot box really badly. also I don't want my steering wheel to suffer much more. Thanks for any help.

Hi everyone, I have a question on the whole suspension setup that I'm hoping that someone can help me with; What parts are there that wear out?! It is kind of hard to explain how my car does not feel as it once did, perhaps the best explanation is that i feel a little bit of a shudder through...

Hey guys, What do you think of the new Megane RS 250? I quite fancy one myself! and I've been looking for a 2ltr turbo for a while and this could be the one ;o).

I'm sure this is probably on here guys but does anyone know if the AST top mounts fit the Sachs struts? If so do they need drilling?

An interesting tyre review in this month's EVO (as well as a 20th birthday special on the Clio sports, with the Williams preferred). The tyre review caught my eye because it featured (an evolution of) a tyre which a few years ago highlighted to me the importance of tyres and the effect they can...

Can anyone help me? I have now found a third bearing ball in the footwell...I'm worried it has something to do with the steering which is not rough or stiff when i steer but i have heard a click now & again (prob as the little balls pop themselves out). Just been over to my ever helpfull...

Has any one had to replace the thumb grips on the steering wheel in the trophy? if so can you suggest and point me in the right direction to where I can buy the them from? I have spotted a link to a site on here before but can't seem to find it now. Also does anyone know the recommended tyre...

Spoke to Mark yesterday as i'm keen to purchase some of his stuff in the next couple of months. Whilst i was on the phone i thought it would be best to ask about a group buy - he seemed to think that 10% off would be ok for 10 confirmed orders. But im sure we could get something for 5 as well...

.........for the T, my thumb grip has split and looks a right mess! Cash waiting, both thumb grips must be in good order. Thanks

What is there that should be replaced on the front suspension assembly same time when getting the dampers refurbished? Rubber mounts etc. Anyone got renault part numbers?

Just looked at the register and not much info........ http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2005-Renault-Clio ... 2a076ac0d5

Hi everyone, i have recently been getting a squeeking sound from what i think is the passenger top mount / all the way down to the wheel ( i cannot pin point where the noise is). It happens when its dry as when its raining the noise goes away so all i can presume is that something needs...

Hi everyone, as stated I've had an intermittent problem since i've owned the car. Got it checked out once before but nothing was found so I kinda just ignored it but when going along the M27 this morning it seemed to go mad. A dull drone started up from the nearside front and got louder and...

I havent posted any pics of the Trophy since i got it a year ago so thought now is a good time, as its just come back from the paint shop. Heres my old clio, And the trophy, Like i said ive just got it back from the paint shop/ had it detailed by Swissvax. Its got Two coats of best of Show...

is it a straight swap?

So this is my latest baby... a Liquid Yellow 182 with a mere 27k on the clock when I picked it up. I love the colour so couldn't resist another one and decided as my use of car is less for commuting and more for fun to make it the perfect spec (in my eyes)... Started with a visit to Charlie @...

Selling my beautiful red tomato.... 48,000k miles 2 owner car. FRSH MOT & Tax until september Limited edition - no. 113 of 500 sold. Totally standard spec Abs, multi airbags, traction control, recaro sports seats, a/c, e/windows, e/mirrors, power steering, remote central locking...

This has been coming on then going off recently??? Sometimes it won't come on at all if you go out for a drive and other times it will stay on or light up randomly?? I have changed the steering wheel, but had the resistors fitted etc.... Any other ideas Rich

Here we go.. My original plan was to buy a 182 and upgrade the seats, suspension and wheels. But when I worked it out it was slightly cheaper to go all out and buy a Trophy. Number 214/500 42k Miles, FSH, MOT, Tax, VERY good bodywork for the milage, Ran smoothley, and a decent price. Yesss...

Got a couple of issues regarding the handling on my Trophy, i need to have a poke about on the ramp just haven't had a chance yet. Basically the steering feels a little sticky just either side of straight ahead, also seems to have very little self centering action, as in if you're on full lock...

Just picked it up yestersday, it involved a lift to the airport from my dad at an unholy hour, a flight from newcastle to gatwick, my mate picked me up from the airport and gave me a lift to brighton then i drove the 376 miles home in it! If you'd seen it up for sale you'll have seen it had...

So i thought i'd finally sign up here, some of you may remember this car: was the one there was a thread on here advising people not to buy it. However i did work for A/C at the and decided to take the risk to get it brought into my garage to have a good look at it and decide whether i wanted...

Anyone have them on their Trophies? I'm tempted to get some rear ARB's. Hopefully going to go with the Mark Fish sus set up at the end of the summer also. If anyone has that total combination would be good to hear your thoughts.

Well have to say I'm truely blown away by how good it is compared to my old 197. The steering is sharper, the handling is fantastic, gear box is the best renault gearbox I've experienced so far and the performance is superb. Don't have a bad word to say about it tbh and its deffinately in line...

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...
