I leave mine connected 24/7 in the ST. No battery problems at all after almost two years and 33k miles. As far as I can tell when the car's off all it does it illuminate a tiny LED to signify it's plugged in.
Nope, not me, mine's largely rattle and squeak free.
As for the brakes, the pads are a very aggressive compound, they make grinding noises at low speeds, especially after standing overnight with the lightest coating of rust on the discs. That's a small price to pay for pads that perform like...
I've always used Android and my experience is identical to yours. What does that say?
I do chuckle when there are so many viable alternatives out there that people still cling to the almost desperate sense of superiority when it comes to Apple products. You're cool and Apple truly love (own?)...
Why can't Renault get any meaningful torque out of this engine?
Even with the 'overboost' function (available in 4th and 5th gear only) the 280nm is shy of what the ST produces as standard - and after Mountune MP215 the ST has over 320nm.
Compared to the non-overboost 240nm this new more...
+ the all important 'Trophy' embroidered head rests. For me, so long as the 'box is a bit more responsive, I think they've done enough. For the community en masse though I think they've failed.
It is according to Jeremy Townsend on the RS forum. Just after the Clio EDC was released he chipped into a conversation to say that the Trophy brand is reserved for the more dedicated, track focused, versions of their cars.
As for the Megane -R being the track brand... that's a Trophy -R is it not?
No Brembos! Shock horror!
Has to be power and 'box (and diff hopefully) if its to warrant the hardcore 'track focused' Trophy name.
If it's just the name and some sticky tyres it would appear that RS have given up on the UK market.
12 hrs and we'll know for sure :smiley:
Sadly the R.S. in the centre of that wheel will most probably be a dealer chargeable extra and then still come in the wrong colour for the wheels.
I hope they have done something proper with the Trophy, all it needs is a small increase in power, a big increase in torque, a manual 'box, and...
...I was quite surprised by this given the pitlane at Goodwood had just had a fresh sprinkling of drizzle.
A couple of quicker gear changes and with solid traction all the way through 2nd I should better Lord 'arris' figure of 15.4.
Look at what they've recently done with Megane and the Trophy/R versions. Jeremy separately has confirmed that the 'Trophy' moniker was to be reserved for the hardcore models only.
They've done it with the Megane, it's the Clio's turn next...so given what they did to the Megane it should be...
The diff accounting for that margin makes sense to me. If it's the West circuit there's loads of places an LSD equipped car would just rip away from the ST.
Impressive for the 208 GTi though!
Exactly this.
I repositioned my front and rear stuck on mounts yesterday and changed over to 'No More Nails' double sided tape. Stuck directly to the glass there's no chance they're ever coming off unless I want them to.
I can vouch for these too. Had one for six years now, bought from eBay for £45, for trackday use and occasional wheel removal/swapping at the weekend it's been faultless. I actually used it to swap my wheels around yesterday and was thinking what a great but of kit it was.
Also consider the G1WH, my review of it...

I have two, front and rear, they're now £41 delivered including a suction and a clamp mount along with a 16gb SD card. I've been running mine now for 9 months and, left permanently...
I've always heeded running in advice, my 172 Cup was very strong compared to others, the ST is the same as all the rest.
It doesn't do any harm...and I enjoy building it up, getting miles on it, anticipating being able to absolutely wring it's neck.
