warning

Ok today I bought 10£ of petrol, then on the way home all my warning lights flashed on this resulted on my petrol light staying on and no petrol being read by my trip computer !! This has happened a few times now, sometimes my engine actually cuts out when the warning lights come on ?? This is...

I had it come on this morning coming home from the gym. No symptoms whatsoever, just the light. I've booked it in for Monday. I assume it's just the Coolant Temperature Sensor. Hopefully it will be a painless easy fix.

Hi Guys and Girls, Can you please help and explain what the Exhaust Gas Monitor Warning light 'Flashing' actually means in English. The eplanation in the handbook is as helpful as usual. Can I drive the car slowly to the garaga 3 or 4 miles away? The tempature gauge has been fluctuating...

Hi all, My trophy has only been averaging between 26-28mpg recently where usually its easily 33-35mpg. Around a month ago I put a decat on it, do these affect mpg that much? Or could it be the lambda sensor? may have got damaged when putting in the decat?

I'm thinking of buying a couple of Mich PE3's as the fronts need replacing. Rears have covered at least 15,000 miles but have good tread. Do you, A) Replace the fronts with the new tyres? Or B) Switch the partially worn tyres on the rear to the front, and put the new tyres on the rear. ?

Trophy #461 No clean shots in here detailing freaks. It gets driven, & it gets driven hard. 172k miles & counting. Mud is courtesy of the field at Haynes, which was perfect for handbrake turns ;) Trophy # 433 (now owned by Luke_89) On its holidays in August...

I've finally relented and decided to fit the intemittent wiper stalk. I have a very good guide on how to fit it. However, it does not state exactly how to remove the upper steering wheel cowling/cover. There don't seem to be any screws holding it in. Does anyone know how to remove this? Thanks.

Hello chaps, I was cleaning the car yesterday geting down inbetween the seats and found floating around what seems to be some kind of micro switch, im think it should go below the seat belt buckle. I think the plastic clip that holds it in has broken. Now the inportant bit is should the...

KTR de-cat pipe to fit onto a KTR exhaust. I bought it new at the end of last year with the exhaust system, and have done something in the region of 10,000 miles since. I took it off for the MOT last month and have been very much enjoying the reduced noise on my motorway commute. It does make...

My Trophy - #433 **Warning essay content** Having now owned the Trophy for 6 weeks & 3k miles, i thought i had better put a little thread up about it ... Basically, since October last year, id been rolling around in a Golf Gti Edition 30, which really wasnt to my taste & did shoddy mpg...

A much discussed topic i know and ive tried to read through previous posts in case i have missed something, like everybody i would imagine, im looking at getting the cheapest insurance quote with the best cover. i use the T now as a second car and if irrc others like hoolio who i spoke to...

Hi Guys, just taken the 182 for a test and shes failed :-( on the emissions, the tester said it will be the lambda sensor....but wich one??? before the cat, or after?? does anyone know where i could get one as i dont fancy paying renault prices, cheers.

here's one for the techies out there... do sensors just report or do they control? maybe it depends on the sensor???? i.e. if you get a fault code. could the fault likely be caused a dodgy sensor or could a dodgy sensor have altered the EMS to trip a fault?

Hi all, I just recently bought some rear discs for my trophy only to find they don't have the ABS ring on them. I am planning on taking the old ones off and fitting them but I am afraid I might split them or something. If something does happen what are the implications of driving without them...

On another forum I was about to post an image using imageshack.us. I was redirected from the imageshack homepage to something calling itself something like VSCAN7 which popped up a message saying my 'computer was at risk, click here (or similar)'. Needless to say I closed IE immediately. My...

is it a straight swap?

So this is my latest baby... a Liquid Yellow 182 with a mere 27k on the clock when I picked it up. I love the colour so couldn't resist another one and decided as my use of car is less for commuting and more for fun to make it the perfect spec (in my eyes)... Started with a visit to Charlie @...

So i thought i'd finally sign up here, some of you may remember this car: was the one there was a thread on here advising people not to buy it. However i did work for A/C at the and decided to take the risk to get it brought into my garage to have a good look at it and decide whether i wanted...

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.

Hey guys, just want to pick your brains? I'm looking to buy a OBD reader and I just wondered if anyone could tell me which model number I should buy? I've seen the one that K-tec sells but I've noticed what looks like the same one cheaper on ebay, but I'd just like to confirm if I'm ordering the...

Ok my T is a 55 plate 35k miles. I do approx 8k per year. I use it everyday for work 13 miles each way. Last week I used it everyday, twice on Sat. Day off Sunday. Came to start it at 5am Monday morning and it woldn't start, ticking over but not starting. My bro put it on the charger while I was...

We have seen a few before but here are mine!!! Sorry its on an iPhone!!! And another new addition

Worth £10.99?? If you like them just a word of warning, they do not leave much room at all to get the tool in to remove them and in atempting to remove 3 as a test I broke one. So my advice would be if you swap wheels alot you'll probably ruin quite a few and need to buy more quite soon...

Hello, quick question from a new member, so apologies if this has been covered :oops: I've had my standard 182 cup for nearly a year (05 plate with just 37K on clock). last night on the M5 the exhaust gas warning light suddenly flicked on & stayed on... All levels are bang on & it's still...
