    Hissing / ticking

    Just had the dephaser and cam belt done. Got the car back and have like a hissing / ticking but only when throttle is applied while driving. Sounds like insanely loud injectors. Any one have any input?

    Dephaser in Norfolk / East Anglia

    After a previous message about a rough bearing sounding noise I left it to get worse after no reply. A guy who has a megged 197 straight away said it'll be the dephaser..... so to that end is there any where in Norfolk or close that people would recommend using to get this changed?

The cars a daily and there is a fair amount of movement so they do need replacing and figured I may...

    B-post / inner door stickers.

    I did a quick seach but cant find any thing. The sticker that sits below the b-post on the inner drivers door sill on my T has totally worn out / washed away some how. Its just totally white now. Is this a common issue and can new stickers be had and if so they cost the earth like some Renault...

    Daily?

    so after reading through the average age thread and seeing there wasn't so many youngsters.... got me thinking who has their Trophy as a daily and who has it as a garage/weekend queen? Mines a daily. With 100k on the clock I guess it's the rare occasion where high miles mean I'm lucky and can...

    Roof scoops

    I just don't get them, even on the proper Clio Cup race cars. There's a 1*2 for sale on csoc that track prepped and it just looks wrong. so wrong. I don't see the point unless its feeding the air into a rear engined car like on the P1 or veyron etc. that is all

    Brembo conversion

    I saw a 182 this weekend with a Brembo conversion and I loved it. I had money set aside to buy a new print (another expensive hobby) but I cant stop looking at these brembo conversions. They were one of my favourite things about the 197 cup I had. I've got about £600 from some wheels I've sold...

    Chugging

    Recently I've had issues with misfires. First was pre cat lamda. Second was a knackered injector. My car now "chugs" briefly when I start it. She starts normally, but when I sit there with her idling she starts to almost misfire and the best way to describe it is she starts to chug!? Anyone...

    Two cruise questions....

    Firstly, does any one elses cruise not match what the speedo says? for example, if I want the speedo to sit at 70mph I have to set the cruise to about 68mph?? Also, the minus button on the steering wheel controls, it never drops the speed. it just cuts out the cruise control all together, like...

    The rattles!!! Bass related

    So, I've gone from a 1 series coupe to a 182 trophy and can't have the volume over 20-22 as the rattles from the bass just boil my piss! I'm not one of these guys who has the bass turned up to ten, but in the 1er I never got any rattle or vibrations from having music loud. I've just...

    misfire?

    So, I was happily heading off to see some lass when the trophy lost a bit of power, felt very lumpy and sounded like a scooby. It was like someone deployed a parachute behind me. misfire? it never threw up any lights on the dash, but it did have one when first got it. turned out to be o2 sensor...

    Air

    Huge on the VW/Audi/BMW scene. Curious if anyone's ever aired out a Trophy or failing that a 182? Im not contemplating it. Just curious. Although one day I will have a big land barge that's aired out ha

    Speakers.......

    people who've upgraded.... talk to me. I'm thinking Focal speakers. I love music and after only two days of ownership the speakers in the Trophy are killing me (I thought the wipers going the wrong way would be the thing that annoyed me !). I want some nice sounding equipment and the best way to...

    No 413....... Known here?

    Looking to buy a Trophy as I'm trying to save for a house so my current car is going to release some funds. Always had a soft spot for the Trophy. Had a 197cup previously and it was so much fun, and I'm figuring a trophy is pretty depreciation proof. Any one had any dealing with this car or...
