So took the trophy out for a short spin this evening, all was fine until I got home. On locking the car I was greeted with a constant beep, as though a door was open. Have checked the bonnet, boot and both doors and all seem fine. Was too dark to get a good look at the connectors, but has any...

So, I have a little play in both the steering rack and my drivers side rear caliper carrier. Neither part is available new from Reno now and RPD are saying they can't hold of any. Any ideas?

Without warning the trophy's decided to throw a wobbly... I've electric power, but when starting there's no reaction to the engine - ticking, turning, nothing.... Battery seems fine, once bump started it won't maintain drive either - I'm thinking its likely to be solenoid related, any thoughts?

I've a friend who's about to put his unused Renault Spider on the market - it's only done 700 miles and is literally box fresh, totally mint show room condition... While these are now fetching sizable sums, he's only looking for around £35k if anyone is interested...?

What's everyone running now a days? I've been on Brembo Max front disks since '09 and looking into the near future will be needing some more - but i hear that Brembo are discontinuing them, although have launched Brembo Xtra range which seem identical but are drilled instead of grooved. Any...

As I am in need of a new turini, due to a particularly aggressive pot hole, akin to a swimming pool, I will be hunting down one. I'm told by contact at Speedline UK that Renault hold the license for our spec of the wheel - ET45 and centre bore specific. So even for a large order (where they...

I originally posted some of this in my trophy owners section, but thought it may be a good general Trophy cost of ownership discussion for newby's and long termers alike. This information has been compiled since I bought the car, way back in 2005. It's important to note that I had poly mounts...

Does anyone know a powder colour colour for the Turini's? The one/s I have are all wet paint codes :/

Anyone else experienced handbrake issues? Possibly not the best description, but the only one I can come up with.. Mine has just become loose - doesn't grasp the rear brakes now - can be pulled up with no tension at all... Is this likely to just a brake cable issue or could the lever be...

Anyone know the gear ratios of the 172 v 182? Are they different?

It's about that time.... The gearbox in mine is on the way out, or at least the syncro's are... I was wondering if anyone would recommend a straight oem replacement or another one - i do the occasional track work with the car and it's my weekend toy so does get used.... Any suggestions?

I've two front springs 'gathering dust'. Done around 5k, been sitting in the garage for 18 months and I need to clear some space. Open to decent offers above the £100 mark, will be going on ebay in the next day or two so you've got a heads up. Brand new, each one will set you back over £100...

I'm going to be selling the 540Ci and getting a small - swb landy or rav4 size 4wd car for the winter. looking at around £4k outlay Just wondering what everyone's opinions are as to which one to get. I've scoured the markets and shortened the selection to; Scubby outback Rav4 Merc ML any...

Well even after nearly 6 years of ownership this little pocket rocket still surprises me. I know how quick it is on a B road, but in a straight line i always thought it slightly underpowered to take on the great and good of Germany's finest but boy was I wrong. 100 octane racing fuel on board...

Any ideas on how to switch the trip computer over to kph?

A friend of mine is selling one of his motors - a spotless Cup packed RS Clio 200 with graphite options (wheels, dash etc), Recaro's also - every conceivable option... as I say it's spotless. It's done 8k so barely run in. He's looking for around £14k (just below book price) so is a bargain for...
