Hi Everyone, Just joined the forum and finally in a position to buy a 2nd car. Looking for a good condition Trophy (isn’t everyone!) and have a healthy budget to spend on the right car depending on condition, history etc. Ideally less then 60k miles. If anyone can be tempted to part with...

Hi all My T is approaching the 72k mile mark so will be going for a full service in a few weeks time. I know that the cambelt and acc belt should also be replaced at this mileage (or every 5 years) but the previous owner did this at the 40k mile mark around 3 years ago. Would you agree that I...

Seen this on ebay, 74,000 miles or so very similar condition and miles to my own, with the amount of ebay watchers is this a realistic price? Estimated value from low-high? £3,000-£6,500? Thanks.

Howdo, I'm hoping some of you tecnically minded people will be able to help but you will have to bear with me while I try to explain it. I have a very loud metal snapping noise coming from cenrally under the engine, this is only when turing the wheel staionory or manoeuvring slowly. The noise is...

Test drove a trophy today. On full left lock there was a grinding noise (sorry not sure how to describe it) coming from the right front suspension. Any idea what that might be possible?

Hi all, Has anyone fitted a proper track suspension setup i.e. AST etc... i'm talking 600lb+ springs at front. If yes, what do you have and how is it? Went out in a full track AST car and it was amazeballs:cool:. I want it on my car now. Ps. don't tell me not to as its a trophy, heard it all...

Hi All I've just bought number 477 and had it a couple of weeks now. I'm thinking of upgrading the head unit for something more up to date. Has anyone replaced theirs with a flip out? I'm wondering if it being positioned close to the gear lever will be a problem. I'd like something possibly...

Went out for a blat today and noticed my little display that tells you the temp/time/radio info wasn't working (blank screen) then noticed the radio remote on the steering column was dead too. Radio/CD working fine, everything else on the car working fine. Fuses checked all OK; took off the...

About 1 1/2 years ago I had my shocks reconditioned and the are fine, but recently there had been horrible noises and clunking coming from the drivers side.

Clio 182 Trophy No. 108 After 4 years of ownership I am reluctantly selling my much loved Trophy. It has received nothing but the best treatment in its life, and is a truly superb example of the car. I have had to purchase a smart fortwo to get me around the streets of London, and the Clio...

I'm very reluctantly selling my Trophy. It is in exceptional condition, with only 43,500 miles and a full service history. I bought it 2 and a half years ago with the original tyres on the rear wheels and they still haven't (quite) worn out - that's how gently the car has been driven. The front...

For sale is my 2005 Renault Sport Clio 182 Trophy, Number 441/500. After owning numerous RenaultSports in the past, I thought it was time I finally owned a “Trophy”. Due to a change in circumstances and a significant increase in my annual mileage, it is with regret, my Trophy is for sale. The...

Which tyres offer the best value & performance in 205/45/16? I only use the T for weekend fun so road noise & wet weather capabilities are of no concern, I just want great performance & value for money. Of course, they have to be road legal too! Suggestions & recommendations most appreciated.
