Hi all I yesterday bought 7MAT's 182 Trophy yesterday. My other half wants the standard wheel bag on for safety (airbag). should I disconnect the battery and reconnect and bolt on the original wheel and then reconnect the battery. I am worried about connecting it incorrectly and then the...

Hi everyone. I recently purchased #151 from a very friendly Robert Evans from this forum. It need a few service issues addressed but I'm happy and it drives extremely well. I have been using the search function but I still have a few questions. 1) Brakes pads are 85% worn acording to the MOT...

can anyone help me. when sitting still and I slightly move the steering side to side I can feel and hear a knock at my foot? This wheel doesn't feel right when I am driving either sounds funny but like feels like the wheel is doing its own thing.... Any ssuggestions? X

Finally found a reasonably priced steering wheel to replace my melted one... i wonder how many people got theirs changed by Renault? i heard of one being changed as late as october 2011. this one is dated 2008 so they must have continued production for a while after the 182 ceased production.

Last weekend was my two year anniversary of owning the little French S1tbox, so thought id celebrate the event by giving it a well deserved clean over the weekend!! Method for the geeks: Pressure wash, AG shampoo & wash mit, bucket with grit guards, followed by half a bottle of of Iron-X. I...

Had the Trophy for a few weeks now, but haven't shown it off yet so I thought I may as well start a thread! I had a 106 Rallye that was one of the best condition S2s around, so getting rid of it was quite emotional! I'd grown really attached to its no-nonsense approach to delivering its drive...

Can somebody please report back on the following: Driving straight ahead at 60+ MPH using small movements of the wheel around the centre is there much "feel/feedback"? I have had lots of work done on curing a wandering/tramlining problem which is now sorted and the handling/steering feel is now...

I need to know if part number 77 11 134 966 is specific for the trophy. Its a steering rack that comes with tie rods and ends. I need to know if this is the correct rack for the Trophy. Thanks

I want to have my Trophy wax oiled/ under sealed. Has anyone got any reccomendations for someone to do it, in the midlands area? I know i could do it myself but i havent got any ramps and i dont fancy crawling around getting filthy and wax oil every where. Would also like a proper job with it...

just dug out a couple of the old williams es wheels/tyres. tyres are pe2s, and shot tbh. but the ride is sooo much nicer over the bumpy b roads round here. only put the fronts on at the mo just for a trial run. but i think rather than getting new tyres for the original rims, il be getting...

Well, after fitting them last week, setting the front camber to -2 degrees negative on Friday and doing the Llandow trackday with CS yesterday, i can safely say that the H&R's are very worthy replacement to the Sachs. Handling is nigh on exactly the same as the Sachs/Sportline combo that i had...

Sadly I present Trophy 219 for sale. The car has been faultless in the almost 5 years I've had it, never tracked or abused, always run on Optimax and has wanted for nothing during my ownership, the mileage reflects mainly motorway miles and my daily commute. Bodywork and interior are in...

Hey guys, Had a good read around and most of my questions have already been answered but I was off to potentially look at this Trophy (No. 320) in exchange for my FN2 CTR but couldn't see any previous info on here about it. Link below...

Can anyone tell me how I can adjust the interval between wipes when the wipers are on their intermittent setting? At the moment they wipe about every 3 seconds.

Guys, General thoughts on tyres. I noticed the other day my rear tyres are seriously cracked, I think they look like the orginal PE2. They still have plenty of tread on them, but doubt very much they will pass the MOT in June ? I know there is a sticky on tyre choice on here. Getting hold of...
