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.

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...
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.

This is what I picked up on sat - drove to manchester to collect it. Been very well looked after, no dents or marks on the body work. The recaros needed a clean up with the brush and alcantara cleaner.

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...

Spring is here, time to get rid of the swirls from the harsh winter.
I’ve used a DAS-6 a few times and achieved reasonable results but now I’ve decided to upgrade to rotary in the form of a cheap and cheerful Silverline.
Due to time restrictions and it being my first time I’m only aiming for...
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...
This is for 2 weeks only or they go with the car,
Alcatana rear bench and door cards Plus your old TROPHY original ones £150
Prospeed full exhaust system plus standard in return £150
Mint Trophy dash strips with trophy logo and steering wheel facia £35 plus good condition standard ones.
As above.
In 205 Gti's it is something that needs to be done at some point as the trailing arms wear out where the bearings sit, as a result they pit and you get negative camber and the beam is not workign as it should.
I know the design between the 2 cars is different though as the 205...
182 engine on 93k. Slightly rattly de-phaser pulley when warm. Can be supplied with a 3 month old dephaser pulley if required. Cambelt and Auxbelt done 2 years ago by Sideways Danny. Can be heard running or can be taken to JMS for condition check- £355.
182 gearbox on 93k. No crunches and...
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...
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
Drove 110 this weekend for the first time since November and its like having a new car all over again! Simply a sublime motor; handling, acceleration, sound, driver involvement, phenomenal!
No real point to this post, just thought I'd share my Trophy enthusiasm! :D Now washed and tucked up...
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...
Popped to see a mate today who works in a garage. While I was there I got talking to a customer who was waiting for his car to be MoT tested. He noticed my car and commented on the twin exhausts and said that he neighbour had a Clio with exhausts like that.. he said it had been standing in...
Finally managed to get myself a 182 after years of wanting one. Never thought i'd be lucky enough to get a Trophy.
Found it on a salvage site that my dad was using for work and pursuaded him to get it.
Its no. 400/500 and needs a bit of work lol.

When we got it...
It is with much regret that I come to sell my Clio Trophy. I have run out of space and my girlfriend has run out of patience with not being able to park near the house!
Clio Trophy 333 is for sale:
- 39,400 miles
- Full Renault Service History
- Cambelt Service + New brake pads all round +...
All,
Can anyone tell me if the front wheel bearing is the same as that of a 182 sport. Mine was being down today but GSF sent two, both of which were incorrect. I've told my mechanic to order straight from Renault in the morning.
Just wondering the experience of others on here.
Thanks,
David.
Ok, so i dont normally whore, but thanks to James (JMS) and Mike (FailSport) last night, the TroFail is now finished. I'm sure a few of you will have read my project thread, & i'll update that with more info than in here, but chuffed isnt the word, it drives brilliantly & looks ruddy lovely imho...
Evening All!
Trophy 369 (one of the Northern Irish cars) is currently enjoying it's wee stint over in England while I'm working here. Being that age, a timing / auxiliary belt was soon due, and with a service looming, and a wheel bearing calling out to be retired I started ringing around to...
I've just had an epiphany!
All this time I've been carrying round the renault jack set when I don't even have a spare tyre!
Does the wheel need to be off the ground if I needed to use that tyre weld stuff?
