Looks like the originals are NLA from Renault, has anyone gone with these from BRR? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353801214382?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nbjusknlqtu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=cyMunfjgTbG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY One of mine has had its day...

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...

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...

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...

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.

How many miles would you expect OEM mounts to last? Mine were last changed at 85k miles and the car is now on 128k miles. Didn't realise it had been 43k miles since and have got the impression recently that the gear change is a bit sloppier than it was. Is 40k miles+ a good innings?

My car is needing the driver side rear replace and the garage has just been on the phone saying the ones they've ordered don't fit. They've been hearing they're no longer available but are going to phone Renault in the morning. Can anyone shed any light on this and point me in the direction of...

All 3 came on simultaneously and I did indeed confirm the ABS was no longer working. Managed to clear this once yesterday with a generic code reader (although it didn't actually show any fault codes) then they came back on when I hit a pothole. Having had a quick google I see people mentioning...

As you can see/hear in the video, there's a noticeable rattle that appears for a few seconds when first depressing the clutch pedal. This then stops while the clutch pedal is still down. Had the original clutch replaced 2 years ago at over 100k miles. If it was a release bearing would you not...

Anyone bought this one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-1-2-172-182-Sport-End-Of-Bonnet-Seal-New/233462779242?hash=item365b774d6a:g:aW4AAOSwuJFeGeHR The Renault ones seem massively overpriced for what they are.

Trophy is due its second cambelt in my ownership in the next month. What else should I get replaced that may be original that can only be done when the cambelt is coming off? The dephaser and water pump were already replaced last time at 10 years old and were fine so that's 2 things I won't be...

Any common or likely issues that could cause this? This becomes more inconsistent in the last quarter of a tank where it can vary quite a bit. Fuel light can come on way earlier than it should given the needle position. First sign of a problem was a while ago now when I'd park the car after...

Haven't driven the car for a couple of weeks due to being on holiday and tonight noticed with the recent temperature drop that the water temperature took noticeably far longer to get up to operating level (still hadn't got there after a solid 10 minutes driving). I suspect the previously milder...

Struggling to find these listed anywhere, can anyone point me in the right direction? Front ones are no issue to find but I'm told the pins in the rear of mine are worn. To the point the rear brakes can make a bit of a racket if you pulse the pedal when coming to a standstill.

Contrary to a lot of requests about upgraded brakes, I'm not needing track performance. My issue is more bite from cold. I have brembo HC discs and brembo pads, they're decent enough but I find it takes a good number of very hard braking runs before they start to properly have some bite about...

One of mine is broken and the garage and RPD are having trouble sourcing these, seems Renault no longer supply. What other options are there given it's just a cheap bracket? Assume other folk have had this issue so would hope there are alternatives?

At 14 secs, 22 secs and 31 secs. Never had a misfire at high rpm before so assuming this is the case. Only ever happens in 2nd gear (although didn't go flat out in first right enough so might need to try that tomorrow) from around 5500rpm or thereabouts. When there's no load on the engine...

Got the gearbox out and @NorthloopCup has refurbished it, going to chuck a clutch in too given it's stripped that far and over 100k miles. What are folks thoughts on brands? Sachs is always a safe bet in my eyes but a quick google had a few folk mentioning to stick with Valeo. If that is the...

This only seems to happen after the car has been driven for a bit. Quite a loud sound really and not something I've encountered before. Seems more obvious in reverse but it does it going forwards too. While driving at about 20mph- Reversing on the drive-

Recently got my cruise control working after years of it not functioning due to dodgy rear light wiring causing the fog lamp symbol to flicker on the dash when braking/indicating. However, now noticing it playing up in the past week or two. The garage found it a bit dodgy when they sorted the...

How often are you forced into changing yours due to corrosion? The Trophy is a second car but still gets used a few times a week. Regardless, I find the rear discs especially always end up corroding quite badly. Fronts at the minute are apparently a bit corroded on the inside too, plenty of...

I've had Goodyear Eagles more or less since I got it and although happy with them, lots of people say they're not the best for feel and precision due to being so soft. That's not just Trophy owners but general comments on performance cars. Never really had anything to compare them to on the car...

Only came on last week and according to the garage the diagnostics were showing a misfire(s). I'd found for quite a while now that often when starting from cold it was misfiring when initially driving away then everything is totally fine after <30s. Garage is recommending new ignition leads...

In my continuing saga of trying to rectify umpteen small faults... Slowly been losing coolant for a while but no leaks are evident (going from max to mid-way on the tank after around 1000 miles) so replaced the cap with this-...

What pressure should the cooling system be tested to? Can't find anything about the typical operating pressure of the system.

A bit of background, work situation is changing (significantly less money due to shifts stopping) so I'd rather not be using my Boxster quite so much to work (currently 50 mile round trip, usually 3 times a week vs. the same twice a week in the Trophy) due to general maintenance and repairs...

Recently changed back to a standard CD player giving me bugger all radio reception. Read about the aerial base giving problems so I just replaced that today and it hasn't made a difference. Could it be the aerial itself?

Currently fully refurbishing a used set of front calipers and carriers I bought on ebay, a full bead blast, prime and paint affair and just curious as to how much I'd likely get for them? I'll be fitting these ones to my Trophy and wondering if it'd be worth it financially to then do them too...

My initial thoughts would be a caliper (assuming front right?) although it's a bit odd. When braking as hard as possible it's more or less negligible, it's more for the moderate to fairly hard braking braking that it does it. It starts off worse if the brakes haven't been 'exercised' for a...
