Reading some of the posts lately by people casually dropping things about the car like being able to disable the RAID by holding the switch down, checking the oil level electronically (a gem) and pulling the seat base forward, I thought there may be some other useful nuggets that all owners may...

Bought Aug 06, now the second owner.
Got used to the 'tomato' now, handling is out of this world on my way to work down wet, greasy b roads.
Treated it too, ITG, boot net & shelf (bloody great) spare turini, silvervisions, soon to have wiper arm mod & lube & filter change.
and it has the intermittent wiper stalk!!!
although the oxygen sensor has packed up and requires a new one. having one fitted under warranty on the 8th nov.
first impressions very good.....i know some of you are interested in a comparison with the VX220.....when i get some time i'll post...
A quick question - a colleague of mine with a 172 exclusive has shown me how to check the oil level by pressing the wiper stalk when first putting on the ignition.This shows a few blocks in the display to indicate the levels.
Since I've changed my wiper stalk I cant get the display to show the...

I am right on the verge of buying a Trophy, and have been reading this forum furiously to get myself up to speed.
Anything particular I need to look out for on a secondhand Trophy?
I will announce the number of the car once purchased, and apply to get another star!
Then it's...
you waved to me this morning, you were heading towards Hockley Heath at around 8am

Spotted outside the Natwest bank this morning in the high street. Not sure if you're the same one i spotted a few weeks ago out the back of the solicitors.
If it's no-one on here then i'll get out my notepad and leave a note under your wiper pointing you in this direction!

Ok, a hot topic which has been covered in different ways, but for those of you that have had a service or have one coming up in the not so distant future, i'm just trying to find out where you've had yours done/where you'll choose.
I'm at 11000 miles so mine isnt far away. I've heard good...

Anyone got experience of this type of mod? I seem to recall someone doing this, saw mod in garage section I think, but can't for the life of me find it again :oops:
Any input...
not including the wiper stalk conversion, which most of us would agree is the best pound for pound mod on a Trophy, what's the best, most cost effective mod you have made to your beloved?
Couldn't see this link posted anywhere so thought I'd share with you:

Scroll down and you'll see all the offical Trophy press photos (high res too), includes nice one with Alonso and Fisi.

I thought it might be an idea to see what little gadgets etc people have added to their Trophy's. The kinda things that are slightly less expensive than new exhaust systems ( :wink: ) but are nonetheless fun and could be useful to some people!
I've added a Dension Ice Kit to mine so now I...
how about making available to all members, a download area where you can download a cliotrophy.co.uk business style card. whenever a renaultsport clio (or maybe just a 172/a82/cup/trophy) is spotted by anyone, a card can be given to the driver, or stuck under the wiper or something.
this will...
Hi guys, Maybe a bit of a silly question, but when I have my wipers on the first speed, everytime they wipe there's a click from the front passenger dash. Driving me mad :x
Is this normal or is the intermitant wiper switch faulty?
Have you guys noticed this?
Normally the rear windscreen is filthy which means that once you put the car into reverse gear, yes you guessed it, you get a completely obscured rear window!!!
Arggg.... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

A quick question I wonder if anyone could help me with. I have a small problem with 104 :(
Symptoms:
- Under hard acceleration in 1st and 2nd I get a noise from under the car, seems to be below and between footwells, once past maybe 4,500 rpm.
- But doesn't happen if I accelerate slowly...
Just interested as its a "special" anyhow...
I doubt you want to change the suspension....(shocks)?
