Not sure of the accuracy....... http://howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/renaul ... _trophy182

Hi guys Just wondered if anyone had experienced this before. If you imagine a multi-storey car park, and the 'spirals' you have to drive up in order to go up levels; I have noticed that I experience quite a loud and profound grinding noise when driving up these. The steering wheel also tends to...

I'm based in Berkshire and I want to upgrade from 2 to 3 stars so I'm after some guidance on buying a used Trophy. When you bought your used Trophy did you get a professional independent inspection carried out? If so, who did you use & would you rate their service? If not, what did you check...

Hi, I'm selling my trophy due having a little baby girl to look after (mine). The Trophy is just parked up and I need a larger car for prams, dogs and everything else that goes with a family. The car has done 56,072miles and is in superb condition Rear quarters and back window were tinted by...

I've managed to get the ball joint from the hub despite the thread spinning with the nut, grr! But now i can't shift the rod from the bar. I'm using a 21mm spanner on the rod and 13mm spanner on the bar...i could do with more leverage and will try and think of something. I'm spraying wd40 but in...

Currently umming & ahhing about buying an e46 M3 in the next 6 months, so may sell the Trophy at some point ... i have absolutely no idea whats its worth though due to the laughable mileage. FYI, i know whats its worth in bits, but not as a whole, so im just thinking in case someone wanted one...

As promised i have a few photos of before and after of the dampers once shot blasted and sprayed. If anyone else is thinking of doing this then from my own experiences i would suggest you look into building up the lost material once the rust and corrosion has been removed, the guy who done mine...

FOR SALE - Connects2 Ipod adapter. This kit fits into the the rear of your standard clio radio with a lead that goes into your glove box. Then simply connect your ipod. You can now flick through your tracks via the radio or on your steering wheel controller. Unfortunately it doesn't show on the...

Just had the front dampers back from BG motorsports, and replaced the rear dampers and top mounts at the same time. Imagine my surprise to hear creaking still coming from the front suspension somewhere [-X I've done some digging around on here and people suggest replacing the ball joints at...

Hi, I am after a good condition steering wheel, thumb grips must be good. Sean

Very reluctant sale. However need a cheap run around to commute to new job and park in the street and not mind getting parking dents etc. The Car.. absolutely no expense spared. Full Service history with Renault and Renault Specialists, only recently serviced by FRED in Birmingham. - 45k Miles...

Essentially, on Saturday, somebody parked their rather clean looking Trophy in our car park next to mine, the gf noticed & said, 'that red clio's really nice'. After then explaining to her that it was a Trophy, just like mine, & that under all the dirt, they were both exactly the same colour ...

Over the last 3/4 weeks I've been having a handling problem with the Trophy. Everything felt fine until I entered a left hand bend and I would turn the wheel but instead of turning in sharply the car would take a very wide path no matter how much I turned the wheel. I checked the tyre pressures...

As I was moving cars about & an opportunity to take a quick pic presented itself. The Trophy next to my Lancia integrale EVO & our recently purchased EP3 Civic Type-R Premier Edition.

can anyone tell me where about the horn is in the engine bay? i wanted to try and clean the connectors, my horn works when the car is still but only when pressed on one side of steering wheel, but when moving, it never works. its quite annoying especially if someone is rolling back towards you...

Firstly, thanks to James & Tom at JMS, despite having to be on the Eurotunnel at 6am this morning, James was bleeding my brakes at midnight last night - mostly thanks to another of our friends bringing in a last minute brake related emergency/c0ck up i might add ... IR tired. So, the work done...

Hi folks, I know there have been several threads on this topic and I have also looked on cliosport. I had been thinking I would get new ball joints without the wishbone and fit them to my trophy and at the same time fit uprated poly bushes to the wishbone. After reading on cliosport the...

So I only just bought my 182 on saturday, it has just passed its MOT earlier this month and the problem that I am encountering is when im going round a corner at around 25 to 30 mph and I turn the wheel quite sharply it seems that the ABS turns on and slows the car right down untill I turn out...

Does anyone know of a place that actually knows what they are doing re wheel alignment around Birmingham? It's not for the Trophy but my other half's Nissan Micra. I've tried a couple of places but it always pulls left a bit and at each attempt the steering wheel is ever so slightly off-centre...

I've recently had my dampers re-furbished with BG Motorsport and had them fitted earlier this week. I know the ride is firm, but I certainly don't remember it being this harsh; I can feel even the tiniest of bumps in the road and it's bone shaking to say the least. Another thing I've noticed...

Im in need of 2 new tyres Firstly - wheres the best place (cheapest) to get michelin pe2's or ps3's from (or other recommendations?) Secondly, does it matter that much if i use say ps3's on the front and pe2's on the back, probably doesnt just i will have my OCD glasses and will be thinking...

OK, so last night i got the Geo done by a mates garage. Yes, they are a bodyshop, but when you are the authorised repairer for Lotus, Aston, Ferrari, Lamborghini & Pagani, you probably know how to set up a clio lol ... So, effectively, since we fitted the front suspension, the Toe has been out...

Hi, I test drove a Megane 250 Cup and Clio Sport 200 back to back today and I can't decide which is better. The car will mainly be a daily driver with occasional trackday use. The handling of both is great but the Megane might be a better car to live with day to day (if only it looked better)...

There's a knocking sound when turning the steering wheel from side to side. I can feel it slightly in the steering wheel and under my foot in the drivers footwell. Any thought of what it might be please? Thanks

Nice Trophy with some nice brakes, Brembo by the looks of it whos is this ???

I've just been out and had a test drive in my first Trophy today. Unfortunately, I didn't note what number it is. Quick questions. 1-we have 3 auto cars at the moment and haven't driven a manual for a while. The clutch engaged/disengaged cleanly but did seem a bit heavy. 2-the steering wheel had...
