Revival here as my Trophy's driver side fog light has been cracked since I bought the car in 2014 😬 and it'll be getting a front bumper respray this year so need to finally force myself into sorting it out.
@Brigsy did these Valeo ones fit no issues? OEM items are now taking the piss at £135 a...
Yeah I know as I contacted Jon directly through pistonheads referencing the tests he did but he did also say the feel can vary through different sizes.
I've been reluctant to try it as the PS3's come in an 87 load but most others including the PC6 come in 83.
I don't doubt they'd objectively...
Do you have experience of how the Contintental's feel?
I've asked this a couple of times but yet to come across someone who's made the swap-

Think I'll go ahead with them cheers.
It's definitely this part as my mechanic mentioned it's the part that bolts directly to the boot floor and between it and the rubber mount.
Looks like the originals are NLA from Renault, has anyone gone with these from BRR?

One of mine has had its day...
For what it's worth, I do not recommend these Kam Racing ones. Only had them on the car a few months and the nice shiny finish has dulled and gone tatty already.
Have you fitted this yet?
I've been delaying replacing mine but looks like I've sprung a mega leak as topping up the screenwash resulted in it pishing out from the left hand wheel arch liner. Made noticeably worse when using the washers which at least looks to confirm it was indeed playing up...
Have their been any reported issues running these on E10?
E5 super can sometimes be a pain to get locally so I'd hope there's been some folk using E10 without issue...
Best sticking with Renault for the pump or are any aftermarket options worth a look?

It ain't cheap for what it is.
The washers work ok overall but for a while now I've noticed that maximum spray isn't coming out of every nozzle. Any time I function them there is at least one of the four nozzles spraying noticeably less/weaker than the others but it's not consistent, it can vary from one skoosh to the next...
6 years hence and we're in the same boat here! Has been this way for a while to be honest, car squirms quite a bit to the left and the steering wheel pulls to the right.
Annoyingly 2/3 years ago, the front right caliper (one of the two that I'd refurbished) was replaced due to a sheared nipple...
Thought I updated this.
Not sure there was an obvious answer in the end but I ended up replacing the spark plugs, ignition leads and coil pack and it was (eventually) sorted.
I say eventually as a new misfire immediately appeared after this which, after many hours of fault finding to no avail...
Does make me wonder what the cars would be like if the latest and great UHP tyres were available in 16". Can you imagine Pilot Sport 4S or Sport Contact 7's on one of these?
Yes I'm in the same camp. No issues but tyres do move on.
I emailed Jon at tyrereviews (who's also on pistonheads) and he hasn't actually driven on the PS3. He thinks the PC6 should still feel better but did say in the smaller sizes the structure of the tyre often changes from the sizes in...
Anyone have more feedback on these tyres?
I only came across that Tyre Reviews video yesterday and it would suggest they'd be a good option given the PS3 was never that highly rated and the Continental is being compared favourably with tyres newer than the PS3.
New performance options aren't...
Might be a bit late but you can get centre caps from France for a ton cheaper. I just got 4 for my Trophy-

Will be getting the wheels of my Trophy refurbished when it's going in to see @Gally at Protek in the near future so wanting to get brand new wheel bolts to match.
Has anyone bought the Kamracing ones?- https://www.kamracing.co.uk/eibach-wheel-bolts-renault-clio-mk2-rs.html
Is there anywhere...
My code reader has identified a misfire on cylinder 3 but curious if the symptoms here can point towards anything in particular before I take it to a garage-
Revs with no issue when in neutral only (no load)
Obviously misfires when trying to accelerate in any gear at low revs- happens from...
I've always had trouble with the rear discs getting grotty. Got a sticky caliper now too myself.
To actually keep them as clean as the fronts you'd have to be doing a lot of hard braking every single week. I always find before long they inevitably look crap.
Any idea where to get these at the minute?
I've got a sticky rear one so just in case it can't be freed-off I'm looking to get ahead of the curve but a lot of the usual places (ECP, carparts4less, brakeparts) list them but they're out of stock.
