Absolutely gutted! After 7.5 years and 80k miles, I've had a coming together with a very solid old stone wall, and come off second best. Stuffed the NSF into the wall, no metal panel damage, airbags didn't go off, but the assessor stopped counting the damage at £3.5k without getting stuck into...

Couple of weeks ago someone decided that using the rear end of my trophy would be a better way to stop than using their brakes :mad: I am in the process of paying the salvage costs and will have a CAT C write-off trophy for either sale as a whole or to be broken up. The only damage is to the...

Has anyone fitted winter tyres to their Turinis? I've got 2 full sets of wheels now so am hoping to do so soon. I recall reading somewhere that it's worth fitting slightly narrower tyres (more choice and saves money too!). I was thinking 195/45/R16 instead of the standard 205's? Will these...

Heres the write up of the detailing session my good friend Olly (Snow Shine) carried out for me. After having him work on my EK9 before and seeing the results along with his various other clients I knew the car was in safe hands. I really can't recommend him enough and if you're on the South...

Good evening all Well, after a considerable time away from the site, I'm back online.. Hope all the old faces are well :D and the new faces are enjoying their tomatoes! Why is it that the day I get back on here after not having used the site since it was overhauled, my car decides to go on...

Found it like this on Sunday morning (also posted on PH): Had #110 in Edinburgh less than two weeks parked in what I thought was a decent enough area. Have learned my lesson and moved it back to a secure garage in the countryside. Really upsets me that someone has felt the need to do this :(

I have just taken my rear brakes apart and fitted new seals. They work now (they were jammed solid before) but the first time I apply the brakes the pedal goes down too far. If I pump it, the travels shortens and the brakes work normally. The pedal is solid when it gets to the end of its travel...

Have been saving up for a while and buying parts on the cheap when they became available. Today is the day the car has gone into the garage for a front end 'refresh'. Have opted for Lemforder ball joints (last ones were cheaper alternatives), new genuine front bearings, complete top mount kits...

The trophy is in need of new brake very soon. Going to need disc and pads all round. Got standard on the rear and brembo drilled and grooved discs on the front at the mo. Whats the best to put on? Dont what to be spending a fortune but want something thats going to work well.

Hello all, Does anyone know where I can get hold of the genuine Renault/Sachs stickers that are found at the bottom of every Sachs damper on a Trophy? Rhys

It's approaching insurance renewal time so I thought I'd start an honesty thread. If I was being up front about modifications to the T I'd declare: - Filter upgrade (ITG panel) - Suspension upgrade without lowering (Koni rear dampers) - Brake upgrade (Ferodo/Brembo) - Exhaust upgrade...

It's a Renault Sport branded Valeting bag containing selection of products for all your Valeting needs. If your like myself you may just want one to keep for show or even to use on you Renaultsport. Pack contains: • RS Dry clean • RS Birdlime Remover • RS Glass clean • RS Fabric Clean •...

IT'S VERY LONG I KNOW BUT PLEASE READ COULD BE VERY HELPFUL Eventually gave up with the fault finding for the slight lack of response and power from the trophy myself so I handed it over to a Renault sport specialist who plugged it into the laptop. The first piece of software did not show up...

Due to change of circumstances with work im now needing a van, i have been to a few garages and been thinking about p/x the clio. as the max theyll give me is about 3500 ive decided to put it on here for 4000 for a quick sale 2nd owner FSH 77k excellent condition, just been serviced and timing...

My trophy's recently started making a creaking noise which looks to be coming from the drivers side suspension. You can hear it when driving over any slight bumps in the road and especially over speed bump. Also today noticed what must be a slow puncture as the pressure on this tyre was down to...

the standard back box (one of them) is leaking, bearing in mind only had it for 2 weeks, i looked at the MOT and its advised 'slight deterioration mid/back sections' so i went back to the place i bought it, they said 'take it to the garage', so i did. 'about 4-5 hrs we will need the car for', as...

I know Renault seem to get bad reviews amongst people regarding the reliability but during my ownership I have found the Trophy really reliable. I've owned it 3 years and 4 months and had the following issues... Failed Coolant Termperature Sensor Failed Damper Seal Failed CV Boot Clip Thats...

The standard air box seems to have two inlets for air. One with a cold air feed pipe that disappears somewhere underneath the nearside headlamp and another inlet without any cold air feed. Is this right ? Still having trouble with my T :(

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

I have loved my Trophy for many years but now it is time to sell. Number 370/500. I had a clio expert take a look today and they said it was great to see a totally standard vehicle, an honest car. Serviced annually, recently cared for my M&N motors (renault specialists) full service in...

Sadly I'm in the position where I have to sell a car I never wished to sell: my Trophy is for sale. :( Details via PistonHeads below: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2872867.htm

Hi guys. Last week I had my wheels refurbished at the Wheel Repair Centre in Preston, they have done a fantastic job i'm really pleased with the results. They were shot blasted and powdercoated in Anthracite, they are not an exact match as the original paint but are very close, maybe a shade...

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...

Saw you while i was filling my car up at tescos in church langley, Harlow, on Friday Morning. I think you are on here and that you used to own a trophy?

Hellooo i've got a bit of a problem with my clio, it doesn't start - all the electrics are working but the engine doesn't even tick over... Any ideas why? :cry:

Good day chaps! My recent MOT revealed a leaking driver's side damper. So it's my intention to whip the shocks off, send them to BG for refurb, off which i have just emailed. Just a note, I emailed Mark Fish first, who basically said use BG as they have the market covered for this job. While...
