driving home today the exhaust monitor warning light comes on when I get stuck in traffic. This goes of when moving. The handbook says go to renault soon as. Anyone else had this, if so does the t need a new exhaust. simon.

Sadly, due to personal circumstance No 435 is now for sale. It has done 38 200 miles and is in lovely condition, with 5 months MOT and 6 months road tax. Good bits: full service history, with auxiliary belt done at 32 000 front dampers refurbed and professionally unpinned 2000 miles ago...

Hi, My and my mate were talking about the clio 182 trophy and he said that he thought the front splitter was just for show. Does anyone have a spec sheet or any details saying how much downforce is generated from the front splitter and rear spoiler over a standard renault sport clio without...

Right I have a had a few pm's asking about these, and I have only got blue left. But due to the guy making a huge batch for a customer through the business, he said I might have a few left over in other colours and styles. I have got silver/gray to replace the old ones which faded away. They...

I've had my Trophy for over 3 years now and I love it, it's the longest I've kept a car out of choice (I once had a 106 diesel for a lot longer when I was a poor student). When I'm being sensible I plan on keeping it forever as I truely think it will be a special motor in years to come, I...

hi, ive recently bought a clio 182 with both cup packs. im looking to get a few modifications for it to make it a bit more powerful. has anyone any idea the power increase that a milltek exhaust system with de-cat and a group 'n' spec re-map would give?

Ive put together some theory questions, see how well you do... :) Ill be honest, when I was reading through the book there was one or two of the following questions I didnt know. (1) A pelican crossing that crosses the road in a STRAIGHT line and has a central island MUST be treated as…...

First post on here, but was sad to see a Clio Trophy on the back of a recovery vehicle this afternoon, looked like it could very well be a write-off.. Was in Fair Oak, Eastleigh.

Just bought 415, which had its aux belt changed in August of last year with 18,081 on the clock. Wondering when the cam belt will need doing now. Is the latter due for replacement at three years after manufacture or when the vehicle reaches 36,000 miles (currently done 19,800)? What price have...

A bit of advice please, One of my headlight bulbs has gone, how easy are these to fit? If i have very little patience or dexterity but also money (!) should i do this myself, or go to a garage to get it done? (To give you an idea of my skills, I fitted the wiper stalk myself, but it took me...
