warranty

Hi, I have an annoying low droning sound that seems to be coming from the rear of the car. It is linked to roadspeed not engine speed, and raises in pitch with speed, but then beyond 40mph seems to stay at the same level. Everything you read about suggests rear wheel bearings, but there is...

Hi there - after a very very long sales process, I am from last Wednesday the proud owner of Trophy #478. The register has more details, but quick summary is got the car, found a number of issues I should have spotted myself - the dealer agreed to take them on and the whole thing took 7 weeks...

Hi, Can anybody tell me, Are the koni adj rear shocks that people fit, better than the standard Sachs.? Im not after a harder ride, just a bit more compliant , Do the konis adjust to a softer setting than the Sachs.? Ta Dave W.

Hi guys looking for a trophy or 172/182 as my last one was written off as someone went into the back of me. Pm me anything you have to offer

Hi, Does anyone know the correct part number, or even better, where I can get the exact same original spec battery from? Would like to keep my car original. Current battery has no power, going to attempt to charge it, but would like to get a new one anyway :eek: I dont want an aftermarket one...

When one of my Sachs failed recently I was in a real dilemma over what to do. To have them refurbished is the best part of £500 just for the front two shocks and there’s no real warranty on the repair. Combine that with the horror stories of people having them refurbished just for them to either...

Hi, Just got back from the garage the exhaust was blowing a little and i was shocked to find out the RS192 has cracked at the box coming out of the Cat. Chaps in the garage advised would need a new one. I don't fancy another Scorpion, anyone got any suggestions? Thanks

Has anyone found a way of perhaps trying to prolong the life of the Sachs? We know that they can suffer with road salt/dirt so just wonder if anyone else has come up with a solution to protect them. I'm not sure where the failure occurs, whether it leaks at the top of the body of the main tube...

Is it worth taking it to be done at a dealership or are they likely to be over fussy?

Put the Trophy in for its annual service/MOT and it turns out BOTH front springs are broken and a rear damper is leaking. Car had basically sat for 6 months straight beforehand so I am surprised. Front dampers are fine with no leaks (they were refurbed last August). My questions to you good...

I appreciate this may be a long shot, but should anyone need family friendly wheels and be looking to let go of their Trophy, I'd be interested in doing a deal. I was commuting 65 motorway miles a day for work, and the S-Max was ideal for comfort and cruising and covering family duties and...

Hi All I am trying to become a proper member by getting hold of a Trophy and Ive got a few options. There is one with 68k for £3800 timing belt done at 48k and another with less miles 40k for £5500.. Which would you go for if condition is not much different.. Not seen either but looking for...

As above, I've purchased a set of Koni Yellow adjustable rear dampers and was wondering what is the best setting for road use whilst still maintaining decent handling.

Hi. I have been having a few problems while driving like country type of Roads not been impressed by the handling of my car :-( I began to realise something ain't right coz ma old 182 handled better than this. Which isn't right. Anyway cut a long story short. I pushed down on the front...

If a head-to-head test was conducted to assess Cup, Sachs and say H&R Coilover dampers, I wonder if we are able to say what the results would be on the road and track? I like the idea of the Cup dampers because they are so cheap (circa £100/pair) and must be pretty good. I like the Sachs...

Since we now know that Renault UK are now supplying Sachs Twingo R1 dampers (p/n: 77 111 67 414 and 77 111 67 413) as a replacement for the Trophy and are now charging £1400 each, I thought I would contact the official RenaultSport UK rally parts supplier to see how much they would supply these...

Following on from some other topics and comments regarding Sachs and rebuilds, has anyone changed the Sachs for something else, if so what are the options? I know the Sachs are the selling point of the Trophy, but as there is a lack of new stock and the refurbs do not seem to last I am...

Been looking at Trophy's for a while and think i've found a bargain only issue is it needs the dreaded front shoxs and a timing belt. I've done a little reading and can anyone clarify if new shocks are available? I know i'm looking at around 500-800 for rebuild and looking at say 400 for timing...

Hi I need a new battery and wonder if it's worth paying a little more than what Renault sell? A Bosch Silver HSB063 (£90) gets very good reviews on Halfords website the main - the main comment is it's very powerful. It also comes with a 5 yr warranty. One from Renault is £65. They are all...

Can anyone give me some advise on exhausts? I need a new rear section soon and was wondering should i go Yozza sport? Just want a 'sporty' sound than the original. If anyone can give me any alternatives and ideas of price? how does the price differ against original? I have heard a Yozzasport...

How much should they bounce exactly? Has anyone done a video at all ... Mine seem to move fairly easily - although they were only refurbed 13k ago lol (not by BG)

Having been looking for another trophy for around a month now and there seems to be quite a few that still havent had the dampers re furbed yet. Just wondering how many on here are still running their cars without problems?

Selling on behalf of the mrs - (ad taken from Clio Sport) Reluctantly selling my 200 after much deliberation, due to needing some extra cash. Got the car from my local Renault dealer Dec 2010, purchased brand new to my specification. The car has been well looked after, It has been washed at...

anyone had any problems with these?? mine seems to have ripped the hanger off the rear box on the o/s. is this a common fault??? only had a quick shufty but n/s seems to be braced, o/s not. bit of a shite design imho.

Well after being up at my local renault today i was speaking to the warrenty advisor and i asked about my melted steering wheel, He says he has only ever changed one and that was last week on a 197 and funnily enough that was my brothers car. He said my best bet was to call Renault UK and i did...
