im actually thinking about selling :?
You'll lose a chunk of money if you do. You gotta 3 year warrany with it, might as well use it. Take it back ,get it all sorted, not gonna cost you anything but your time. Might enjoy the car after its all sorted

I agree about the rear seats, but other than the seats in back ive got no problems at all. Makes a change my 106 Gti was in the dealers more than it was on the road. no end of problems with my peugeot. Love my Clio.
You must of got a Friday car.

LOL, you think your Trophy rattles, you should have a drive in my Williams.
IMO the more rattles the better. And if you can hear the passenger or radio when driving fast, it isnt a proper car. :wink:

Yeah my g'friends Williams is well rattly (as was my old 5 Turbo), but in a 12 year old Renault you expect it and it is part of the ownership, on a brand new Trophy it is just really disheartening, especially when you have just shelled out the best part of £15k!
The rattles had driven me so mad by 50 miles of driving from the dealership that I resorted the punching the various panels! :evil:
Still now I have accepted that it is just another Renault, and the drive more than makes up for the build quality

Ive never been bothered by rattles. My exhaust rattles on the heat shield, but i dont really get effected by it. If you pay 12k for a car expect rattles.
I have to agree rattles dont bother me, recently scrapped a H reg pug I had from new and that use to rattle like mad, just get used to it.
babies dont mind rattles either..........
Mine has got 2 really annoying rattles! One from behind the Instrument panel which is a clicking sound and the other is a buzzing noise from the Glove box! It's off to the dealer to have them sorted next Thursday. Said it was a dash off job! :? Bit concerned that taking the dash off will only cause more rattles!
Any thoughts???

Thats good to hear mate!
I think nearly every Renaultsport owner has moments like this at some point.
Maybe you havent been able to get out in the car much or have spent most of the time stuck in traffic, and driving round busy urban streets. Your clutch foot starts to ache, the steering feels heavy, you begin to notice a new rattle that wasn't there before....... You start to wonder what's so special about this cheap french shopping trolley you are sat in.
Then you find a nice open road where you get the chance to strech its legs and suddenly you are reminded exactly why you bought the car. Woohoo! The grin factor is quickly restored! :mrgreen:
Its a Clio adventure :lol:

We have to remeber that Renault put all of the development into the engineering underneath (having neglected the driving position) - I personally don't care that the rest of it is made out of paper mache and masking tape, because driving it is such a hoot!! If it is seriously annoying you though, the dealer will have to put it right.
