    197 folding mirrors....can these be retro fitted?

    wondering if the folding mirror option on the 197 can be retro fitted... renault list it as a £80 option so there cant be much to do...the wiring will be there and no doubt it uses the electric motor already fitted in the mirror to pull them in... i know the mirror switch needs to be...

    Where to service? Dealers or Specialist?

    I have owned a few clio's in the past and have always taken it to the same Renault Specialist near where I live. He has been a Renault specialist for nearly 15 years and he is very clued up on anything French to be honest. Anyway, I've had an oil change from him on the Trophy a few thousand...

    RS Owners Take The Biscuit

    I must be a masochist in advertising Wanted Ads for Focus RS. The owners are only after MENTAL money for them, and I'd say I was prepared to be as bullish as I am with CT. Just told by someone they will wait and readvertise in the Summer as cars fetch more then...??? Obviously forgotten that...

    Anyone know any decent detailers in Kent/Essex area?

    My car is Capsicum BLACK at the moment and i'm feeling a little guilty about it after seeing all the sparkling trophies on the site. Can anybody recommend any decent detailers in and around south east London/Kent/Essex areas? Think i might get it sorted in the next few weeks!!! Cheers...

    Blooming Recaros...

    I've had the car 3 days now, and done about 400 miles...It really is fantastic and I see why someone has termed the car 'Super Mario Kart'. However, at the risk of sounding like a whinging so and so, my back and legs haven't stopped aching. After about 20 mins in the Clio I begin to get...

    Test Driving A Megane R26 Tomorrow

    I can see me getting one of these in the next few months, so I'm going to give one a go tomorrow at the local Renault dealer. I'm hoping it'll be the perfect car for me - I love the way the Trophy handles, but I don't like the relative lack of power and torque. I loved the way my Focus RS...

    WANTED: Cared For Low Miles Trophy

    Please contact me if you wish to sell a low mileage Trophy in VGC. While not private sale money I will pay better than 'other dealer' prices - I know because I underwrite them and they always come! Ditto, any late Clio V6 255 you may become aware of. Thanks, Steve.

    How is this possible?

    Hello, I'm new here having just bought number 464. I have to say I'm loving the car but something is worrying me. I thought I'd register the car on the owners register, however on there it shows two people claiming to have owned 464. I've just had the V5 through it clearly shows only 1...

    ESP off!

    Had a bit of spare time on my hands yesterday so took the Clio out for a blat last night. After a while turned the ESP off. Wow! Transforms the car! Acceleration has more bite as does the handling. The car is brilliant without the Esp on. Just shows how well sorted the chassis set up...
