    Creaking suspension noise from drivers side sachs damper

    My trophy's recently started making a creaking noise which looks to be coming from the drivers side suspension. You can hear it when driving over any slight bumps in the road and especially over speed bump. Also today noticed what must be a slow puncture as the pressure on this tyre was down to...

    Car acting very strange of late

    Left work at usual time yesterday and the Trophy just did not seem 'right' to drive. Have checked dampers and all seem ok - rear replaced within the last 3 months. MOT also passed early part of July with no advisories so imagine they would have spotted any major 'wear'. Car seems very light...

    Trophy was handling like a bag of crap, noticed a bouncy damper so had it rebuilt at BG a few weeks ago. Also the exalto's on the front had come to their usable end so replaced them with the Pilot Sport 3's. Anyway, Trophy's feeling a bit weird in some corners, i cant really describe it, its...

    Delivering A Pair of Tyres

    I may need to deliver a pair of tyres within the UK. Just wondering whether anyone had done this and whether they used the Post Office or a courier and what the cost of either might be. In the case of a courier, do they come to collect the item from you or do you need to take it to a depot? Thanks.

    Tyre Foam

    Just a quickie. I do not seem to have any of these lovely aerosols in the Trophy. Do I have to get special Renault ones or is there a better option? Preferably not "Get a spare :lol: "

    The answer to my handling problem...

    Over the last 3/4 weeks I've been having a handling problem with the Trophy. Everything felt fine until I entered a left hand bend and I would turn the wheel but instead of turning in sharply the car would take a very wide path no matter how much I turned the wheel. I checked the tyre pressures...

    Trackday tyre dilemma

    Bit of help needed deciding on what tyres to buy. They'll be for track use only, pretty much exclusively Anglesey and Oulton Park, and shod on R15 5.5" steelies - don't know if that would need any consideration with sidewall stiffness? Car won't be caged and will be driven to and from the...

    Been offered some, only 3 months old with PE2 tires wheels have done less than 1k. £600 recon it's worth it? As I'm needing new tire soon and I am needing to drop mine off at wheel repair centre again as the lacquer has small cracks appearing. Plus I have always liked the 2118

    Ride Quality

    I've recently had my dampers re-furbished with BG Motorsport and had them fitted earlier this week. I know the ride is firm, but I certainly don't remember it being this harsh; I can feel even the tiniest of bumps in the road and it's bone shaking to say the least. Another thing I've noticed...

    Trackday Tyres

    Anyone tried Federal 595 RS-R's : semi slicks like R888's - they are significantly cheaper than Toyo's and seem to get good write up's elsewhere. I'm need a new set of track only rubber (was on 888's) and might try them ????
