specialist

Hi guys, looking for someone around the area who knows there stuff, rather than letting my old grease monkey play with my car. It will only be for future maintenance not tuning, but I would rather let a specialist do it. Any recommendations? Be grateful if you could help. Thanks, Luke.

Guy, Most T's have aftermarket filters, exhaust systems, braided lines & a few other bits as we all know. Now as standard im getting quotes of £600 which is fine, but declaring an air filter mod alone comes out at £900!!! Wtf!? I cannot find a standard T. What to do?

Well as some of you will know I have just got my new trophy last week (no 451) and thought I would take it to Cit-Ren in Norwich for a checkover and to get some little jobs doing , door switch failed etc etc. Well I got a nasty surprise , the former keeper has replaced the front Sachs dampers...

Had an accident the other week in the Clio, everyone ok, car was driveable, not my fault, but going through as a 50-50 AFAIK. Body blow today when got a message saying it was a write-off! Damage to passenger side between the axles but am shocked as the coachworks thought it wouldn't be. The...

Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone knows anything about the problems I'm having with my T atm Filled up full yesterday and drove 110 miles motorway no stopping and a constant 56mph the whole way and some how managed to get through half a tank ! Also it feels to be lacking power and engine...

Hello all, I'm a new user and I am looking to buy a Trophy. I'd like your thoughts on number 45; http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/4167864.htm I realise it is advertised at a high price but Trophies do seem to variably priced and as this is a low mileage example, I thought this may be...

Basically can anyone recommend somewhere to take the Trophy for a service in the North East? i dont mind a bit of travel to get it to someone who actually knows what they are doing. last friday we took the wifes new Meagne in for its first service (at what is now newcastles only Renault dealer)...

Been looking at Trophy's for a while and think i've found a bargain only issue is it needs the dreaded front shoxs and a timing belt. I've done a little reading and can anyone clarify if new shocks are available? I know i'm looking at around 500-800 for rebuild and looking at say 400 for timing...

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone can recommend a good garage/specialist in the staffordshire/midlands area i can trust to work on my trophy. Im goin to need some new rear discs and pads soon but dont want just anyone working on it!!:) Thanks

Clio Trophy on 55k miles, #196 in excellent condition inside and out. When I bought it over 2 years ago I searched high and low for the best example I could find and it has been well taken care of since. I work near a fantastic Renault specialist and as the service history shows if anything...

Here I have for sale My Renaultsport Clio 182 Trophy 142/500. Reason for sale is I've purchased another car. I have owned this car since april and it has been totally faultess. I am an avid Renaultsport enthusiast owning a Ph1 172 before the Trophy and I am currently in the process of rebulding...

Hey guys, Had a good read around and most of my questions have already been answered but I was off to potentially look at this Trophy (No. 320) in exchange for my FN2 CTR but couldn't see any previous info on here about it. Link below...

Hi Guys, My Trophy is not well. Had it since new with all required servicing and I was just arranging its 72k service when I noticed a new clicking sound coming from the engine. It is most obvious at more than 2500rpm, but can also be heard at idle. It changes (speeds up) based upon engine...

Hi all, I'm a long time lurker on here, but have never posted anything. Having read the first Trophy reviews years and years ago, I knew I had to have one. A combination of uni, city living, finances and getting married have all slowed down the process. Until now. Money went down on a new T...

Guys, I need your help on where to get a new coil spring for my Trophy as it has collapsed. The MOT was last week and it failed and trying to find a coil spring is like trying to find a DoDo!! Where can I get one? A standard one will be fine just now until I look for coilovers. Any help...

I'm looking at getting the original wheels refurbished in the near future but I cannot find a place that will spray them in IXELL paint. I am also wary that by painting them with a water based paint they will bubble again, which I don't want. Has anybody either had theirs refurbished in paint...

I've looked at 2 Trophy's now and both had fairly worn seats, they had kept their shape but the base section was fairly shiny on both and had lost the suede. I know they are not hard wearing seats as I had the same one's in my Evo 6. Just wondered if this is the norm? Cheers.

Anyone know of a specialist in the North East? Need to find the right person/place to take care of my Trophy.

I can hear a "tap tap tap" coming from the engine bay of my Trophy when at idle. Also the idle is quite lumpy and uneven. The tapping is actually louder from inside the car than the outside even with the bonnet open. The taps increase with the revs up to say 1500/2000 but then I cant hear...

Just had a quote for my service. Let's say it's expensive at £1,046 ! Is this normal? Anyone recommend a garage? Car hasn't been looked at by them yet just a standard quote for a Clio sport 182.

I don't have the aptitude, tools, inclination or time to fit a set of rear Konis myself so... Do I engage the services of my local independent garage where the mechanic was VAG-trained and looked after my VW for 8 years? Or do I take #455 to the nearest RS specialist, which I guess would be...
