cleaning

few more days like this and i may have to bring the trophy out of hiding ! :D

I just read on a recent topic that shell v power is good for reducing the carbon on piston heads. I've always used this up until recently as shell garages are becoming harder to find where I live, my nearest is about 20 miles away ! I've often wondered how much difference it makes using high...

My trophy has gone in for its major service. It went to a garage rather than Renault them selves due to it costing nearly 500 pounds more at Renault. My trophy was having everything changed that was on the Renault major service check list and genuine Renault parts however i had a small leak of...

Hi people im after technical knowledge here, im in need of a axial joint aka tie rod and tie rod end for the Trophy. Its for my n/s due to seizure and im contemplating in heating to free it off then grease it up after cleaning but i know this is not done practice. I called Renault today and...

Recently my car has not been starting properly on the first turn of the key if its turned to quickly. i read up on this and it seems alot of 182s suffer with it but today it took me maybe 15 attempts to start the car. The car was turning over strongly but just not catching before but this time...

Just viewed and bought #365. Thanks to Ben for his time today showing me and the Girlfriend the car, really has been well looked after. It's going to be girlfriends car in the week and mine at weekends I hope! ;-) Cant wait to collect next Saturday.

Hi all, Not a huge issue but i was hoping for a some feedback if possible, Couple of weeks ago i took the wheels off for and inside and out clean i noticed the driver side CV rubber boot was pulling slightly away on the small end and exposing grease (had fun cleaning that off the wheels)...

I have always enjoyed washing/detailing my car and friends by means of just a wash, clay bar and then a wax. However 'gib172' put his dual action polisher up for sale on here and i thought ill take it the car cleaning a stage further and purchased it. Anyway here's my first attempt... Looked...

Hello chaps, I was cleaning the car yesterday geting down inbetween the seats and found floating around what seems to be some kind of micro switch, im think it should go below the seat belt buckle. I think the plastic clip that holds it in has broken. Now the inportant bit is should the...

Gave the clio a clean today, looks as if the zymol wax is keeping a nice deep glossy shine Some may have seen when I had the timing done that I gave the sachs dampers a quick clean over, well I decided the full arch should be done, especially with the bad weather right around the corner, I felt...

Hello, My Trophy is all booked in for a Service & Cambelt in the next week and my pockets are literally empty. . . Mainly due to the fact that this also comes in the month when the MOT, Insurance and Tax are all due. Ouch! I was just wondering if there was anything else i should be aksing the...

After a good coat of zymol creme wax the trophy was looking very very good For those interested I've also had the timing checked and reset as it was a tooth out (Avoid Renotech in northallerton) Heres some pics of the job getting done and also a couple of the sachs and turini's...

Hi, Just after the best product/ways to remove soot build up on my exhaust. Im running a Yozzasport so its quite noticeable, it hasn't been on the car long and makes it look really old. Builds up quick too! Any good exhaust cleaners anyone know of? or is it just a load of elbow grease? Thanks.

Hello, As Cambelts are the new 'Hot Topic' for Trophy's at the Moment can we maybe Sticky this topic so it's easy to see. Can we start a list below of dealers that people have used and been happy with for getting the work done. Just need dealer name, if the service was good or not, price...

I plan on doing an arch detail on the trophy soon and plan on giving the Sach's a scrub up aswell Is there anything I should be aware of before I set out? Also is there anything I can use to protect the seals etc from failing

Hi Guys, I've used various products over the years but what do you find is best for cleaning your alloys? Like my old Cup, i find the wheels on the Trophy very fiddley to clean between the spokes but am reluctant to spray with some of the chemicals i've used on regular alloys in case it takes...

Hi guys - Not sure where to put this, but thought I would share a few of my latest jobs with you all A friend of mine has seen a bit of my work on a few cars and asked if I could give his car a going over, and was arranged for this week. Ended up carrying out the process inside a Mercedes main...

Spotted a T in the Speccie car park as I was heading out, hope you enjoyed cleaning it as much as I did :shock:

Need to vent! A couple of days ago I drove to the gym and parked in the quiet car park (only 3-4 other cars in it) as I'm paranoid about door-dingers. I come back out to see a still almost empty car park apart from some genius who decided to park their beaten up sh!tty Honda Accord within...

My car is due its tax on the 30th of June and MOT on the 7th July. It needs new exhaust mounts, front and rears. Front tyres and i have now just found a split in one of the back boxes. If i put it in for its MOT without these things done it will fail! Also its about time i had the Dampers...

....................took the back seat out and discovered lots of muck under it and also my daughters missing DS game! Cleaned seats in the back and whilst doing this I have spent the evening scrubbing the seatbelts, well worth a job IMO!

Cleaning my Dampers the other day I notice the spring are made by eibach. Does anyone know what poundage they are, front and back? Nathan
