    Slightly Weird Steering On Rough Roads, Slight Play In Wheel

    Hi, sorry to hijack your thread I have a 182 Trophy and have a similar issue which has been a nightmare. Since I replaced front suspension with new genuine parts steering has felt light, unstable and unassured, before it was tight and precise. I replaced both front wishbones, ball joints, track...

    OEM 182 Cup Suspension Or Cheap Coilovers

    Oe, bought a pair of new front 182 Cup shocks for the Trophy as one of the Sachs started to leak £83.00 delivered. The originals have done over 10 years which is good going over all, new genuine front wishbones are about £104.00 delivered for the pair so probably the best way to go ;-).

    182 Dilema - What to do??

    Think you've had pretty back luck lately with the F4R engines as generally they are pretty good as long as they are well maintained with regular servicing and the all important belts changed with dephaser/waterpumps. Ive had 3 F4R Clio's, 172 Cup that I sold at 115k miles in 2013 with full...

    182_steve's FF 182 progress thread!

    Looking sweet mate, nice clean example gotta have the boot badges dont know why people take them off. When you change the coolant give it a good flush out with clean water a few times to ensure the type D doesnt have a pinky tinge. ;-)

    Just been out for a blat in my 5GTT, spotted a red Clio Trophy parked outside a house on the new Grosvenor Park estate just through Attleborough in Norfolk, just 6 miles from my house. Anyone on here own it or knows of it?

    Re: B1113 towards Norwich 27/01/16 20.30

    Saw the front end of a blue 182 in the dark coming the other way at 20.30 tonight on B1113 just past Bunwell heading towards Norwich AP05 was all I saw as I was driving home in the Trophy.

    Trophy #275 has a new home......

    Clio 182 Trophy New Daily/Project...

    Got Trophy HPI'd before I bought it, came back fine. Think timing of the sale helped, have seen some go for less than mine just not original.

    Clio 182 Trophy New Daily/Project...

    Found abit of time to start checking the Trophy over, noticed the front part of the wheel arch liners were missing N/S/F and damaged O/S/F so sourced some good second hand ones to fit for now, also replacement locking wheel bolts as I only had 3 and N/S/F didnt have one. Also bought some new...

    Clio 182 Trophy New Daily/Project...

    Bit of a delayed thread this one as I bought the Trophy in December 2014. Ive have fancied one of these for years after having a 172 Cup for 5 1/2 years and a 172 Full Fat for 2 years. Initially found this one on ebay 10 days before Christmas, sent a few texts asking the usual questions and then...

    RIP another 182

    Get the spring, wheel bearing and no. plate light done as you'll need something to drive, better the devil you know ;-) Make sure it has a good run before it goes for MOT, a friendly tester might be able to get it through the emissions...
  29. Karlos172

    First 172

    Looks a sweet example, worth checking the service history for when the belts were last done and for when serviced last too ;-).

    Clio 182 Cup tyres

    Try Black Circles for a new pair of Bridgestone Potenzas as they are pretty keen on price, Continental Sport Contacts arent a bad price and Michelin Pilot Sport 3's are about £80 a corner which is what I run on my Trophy. People really shouldnt fit budget tyres to performance cars with shite...
