Hi, my Trophy has broken its clip which controls the rear slide position 'memory'. I've phoned Renault and they tell me the recaro is Trophy specific and I have to replace the whole metal base. The price for this is £900 + VAT ! I know these trendlines were optional on the 182 as well. Does...

Thanks - that's a pain but somewhat expected :( I've had a look under there and it looks like the gearbox sits directly over the cat. The cat needs to come out along with the heat shielding. I might tackle it tomorrow or may leave it until the exhaust needs replacing.

Hi, I have a spare weekend away from the wife and son so I'm trying to fit the yanoo 'normal' kit that I bought from a member recently. I've managed to remove all the trim from the gear stick I'm not really sure where to go next. I can remove the knob and gearbox skirt pretty easily but I'm...

Thanks for the advice everyone. Can I confirm the shims that need removing are BOTH of the ones highlighted? The reason I ask is the bottom ones which look like 'pad spacers' were not present on my setup so were obviously not fitted. The smaller ones that go on the ends of the pads are on...

Hi guys, first time poster here :) I've recently bought a Clio Trophy which I'm treating to a new set of disk and pads. The OE ones were very worn and the disk has not worn evenly on the inside disk face. I have to admit it's been a long time since I've done my own disk and pad work but...

Thanks Don. I appreciate it's pretty straightforward but I don't really have time. My driveway is on a hill with gravel and after doing a oil change on the family car I just would rather pay someone to do the job. I also don't have spring compressors or suitable jacks etc.. Can I confirm other...

Hi guys, I recently bought a Clio Trophy which had failed it's MOT on a leaking Sachs damper. The previous owner had renault replace the dampers with Cup dampers and removed both front Sachs dampers for refurb. The car is therefore driving (very nicely I must say) on Trophy springs with Cup...
