Got back into the country on Monday, log in here the day after and read the piece about forum conduct, now we all know whats behind that - now maybe im thick but dealing with the problem rather than the effect would be a better idea?

I have been washing the car every week but would like to wax it. I have Zymol Autowash and Zymol Cleaner Wax and after using the autowash today then using the Chamois. I applied the Cleaner Wax and doesn't really come out as good as I hoped there are swirl marks really small ones. I don't do...
I appreciate as much as anyone that the Trophy is a great hot hatch, but if anything, what would you liked to have seen the Trophy released with?
For me it is more power! I was really hoping that Renault were going to release a Clio with the Meggy 225 engine in it, failing that I was hoping...

Please note that if you are wearing a seat belt, the driver doesnt even touch the airbag if it goes off. As i have been saying for ages.
Proof that they are only effective in frontal impacts where the seat belt is not working or fastened.

Evo 87 dropped through the letter box this morning; this could be an interesting read I mused...
Very good read it is too; some criticism of for example interior quality and the relationship of second and third gear, which didn't strike me as overly critical, but also 'one or two' ;-) good...
Looks like the Trophy reign as 'king' of the modern hatches is going to be pretty short.
New Focus St looks like a bit of a beast.
And at 17.5k you cant really give the old arguement of it being aimed at a different market. Its only 2.5k more expensive, and the same sort of price as the...
I've just been to the local model shop to try and treat myself to a little model of a Clio mk2(pref 182 pre pref trophy). The chap there said they did none, so went to another one the same answer. Anyone bought one or have seen one forsale could you let me know the shop or maker of the model...

Went to change the the oil in the Williams this afternoon, and I could not get the old oil filter off, and I just wanted to see if anybody knew of any special tatics for removing the filter.
The best access I could get is in the three inch gap between the block and the radiator, but I could...

they are shit. i know they were made for the car but badly. on my other 172 when i stop mard it stops like its on tracks and they are f1. amazing tyres. but on this car it wabbles and shakes everywhere. just not great. shall i change?
Jack up your trophy on the front sill and whack an axle stand under the car on the chassis. Then open the door on the side where the car is jacked up. Does it close and open without propblem or is the door now out of line and the catch catches on closing the door?
Did Donny on Tuesday
Was really damp in the morning and my god is this car good in the wet!
GT2, C2, Exige, M3 all moved to the side too let me though!!!!
I've allways thought the trophy handled a bit like an Integrale and this just showed it has just as much grip in the wet, though steering...
