Might be me. I live in Trowell and I've got the only Trophy ( that I know of ) in the area.

Yup, fixed mine the same way.

Formula One Autocentres do a price match on all tyres. I'm ordering a pair of Rainsport 2's at £77 each fitted. Camskill couldn't match this price.

Nice find. I have trophy 124 and can confirm the boot struts are useless in the current cold weather but fine in the warmer weather.

All fixed now thanks to Mick at Diamond. It turned out to be a problem with the alternator ( faulty voltage regulator )

Thanks for the update. I was pretty much convinced it's a UCH issue. Getting it replaced this week.

What was the problem with your headlamp and washers ? I think my HCU has gone faulty too so it's going to be an expensive month.

Sounds like I have a similar issue. Would this also affect the wipers and indicators. Sounds weird but when the service, abs, airbag and traction lights come on the indicators and wipers also stop working. I haven't driven the car in 6 weeks as I've been on holiday and this has just started...

Hi, I've just returned from a 6 week holiday and fired up my Clio Trophy. All seemed fine initially but as soon as as I applied any revs the battery, abs, serv, stop and traction control lights get lit up. Also the indicators then stop working and the wipers don't work either. I found that the...

PS3's now £115.78 each fitted at Formula one Autocentres (No - i don't work for them ) order through Topcashback.co.uk to get another 2.52% off ( via cashback. That makes them £112.78 each. My trophy is going to them for it's MOT in 10 days so I'll see if I can haggle any more off them - loyal...

Reassuring stuff. Cam belt and Aux belt were done last year so ( fingers crossed ) it should just be standard servicing for a few years.

Hi, I've got a Clio Tophy and I've had it from new. I absolutely love it and it's been fully serviced according to manufacturer specifications. It's had the Sachs damper rebuild too. It's got 49,000 miles on it. Does any have any experience of how long in age or miles a 182 or Trophy will last...

Hankook Evo or Uniroyal Rainsport appear to be the favourite non Michelin alternatives. They're about £86 a piece fully fitted. If anybody can find a better price for PS3 then I'd be interested.

The best price I found for Pilot Sport 3 is £120.58 each fully fitted at Formula One Autocentres

Hi, I need to replace the exhaust on my Trophy and was looking at a Milltek. Do you find it ok on your Trophy. I'm not after anything loud.
