I have been trying to get to the bottom of a creaking noise that has arisen that only occurs after a drive and happens only at low speeds. The noise to me sounds very much like a creaking. The sound does not seem to occur when the car is turning or when it goes over any bumps in the road, more...

Is the most cost effective solution to just replace the lower arms or can the bushes be purchased easily enough? I am aware the ball joints can be replaced as I have had Lemforder ones before and recall them being M12 size over M10. If I can buy the bushes can anyone confirm which ones I need...

Hi, Does anyone have the suitable tool in the SW area ideally Torbay, Exeter or Newton Abbot areas? Can collect and will give a few beers to borrow for the weekend. Want something to make the job as easy as possible! Thanks Daniel

Managed to source a second hand unit new inner tie rod and TRE's but wondering if there is anything else to consider before having it fitted? Aware of the Powerflex mount bushes bit might as well cover all bases before it goes in. Final question, do the racks go in complete with everything...

Is anyone running any form of bluetooth adapter into their standard head unit that works well for calls and music streaming? I currently have the adapter which provides a 3.5mm jack at present. Not looking to replace the OEM head unit in the Trophy and don't want a cheap useless device that...

Hi all, I have recently developed a loud rattling noise from what I assume is under the car during higher revs and at deceleration, again at various speeds. Had my MOT yesterday and had a look under the car and no apparent problems with the heatshields or exhaust (Janspeed full system), the...

Not quite a Clio but exciting all the same to see such an epic car from my office window!!

Second aux belt fail since I've owned the Trophy and seemed to have survived the dreaded cam belt failure. Cause seems to be some damage to the crankshaft pulley, any idea where I can source one? Ideally new?

Stumbled across these as need to replace my discs front and rear, and shocked at how quickly they arrived. Ordered Thursday afternoon and here by Friday. Seem a bit too cheap and hoping they are nearly as good as my Brembo HC's (lasted over 75k miles)...

Drove home tonight and the Trophy started to rev itself to around 3 - 3.5k on its own accord and the revs would only drop when changing gear. The problem went away and then came back, only to then display the orange dash light and enter limp mode. Car starts, seems to run fairly smoothly, just...

Been looking around for the best price on oils and filters and stumbled across a standard Crossland panel filter from Halfords for £4.56 - 10% = £4.11. Equivalent around £12-£15 at ECP! (sorry I love a bargain).

Had a very low pitched 'whistle' between 2 and 3k revs for the last 24 hours and filled the car with oil this afternoon. On driving back to work (fairly low revs) the car decided to make a noise, continue driving (just) and now sounds rough as nails. The car still starts and idles for a...

If you noticed me staring at you it's because I haven't seen another T for sometime! Mine was in the Countess Wear car park!

Haven't seen one for a while, very nice!

Have had no engine issues with the T and have it serviced regularly. Of late, my engine management light came on once and went away after I turned the car off and on. Have since had a feeling that car is 'holding back' and does not feel quite right. Plugs checked and seem ok, coil pack less...

Spotted you in a private car park in Brixham, not been over this way for a while!

Looking to help a colleague and friend at work whose Clio is over-revving when changing gear (she thinks it's the clutch but her other half disagrees!). Anyone got any ideas? Thanks

Parked the car up ready to remove the dampers for a refurb and thought I may as well replace the rear pads whilst the car was off the ground. Have a feeling that I did not release the handbrake when I replaced them but cannot be sure! Have I done much damage? Pads fitted and car brakes as...

Car going in to a friends garage on Saturday to have majority of front suspension components replaced but seem to have overlooked a likely problem with the front ABS sensors. Are these likely to be damaged if the hubs are removed for new bearings to be pressed in? Thanks in advance!

Went to Renault today and bought 2 outer ARB bushes numbered 7700799404. Any idea if these are correct as found conflicting information. Thanks

..............after the Christmas and New Year break I decided to give the car a much needed clean. Since this the car alarm keeps going off, during the day and night randomly. Have had a thought and blasted the wiper area with the hose, is there anything in this area, possibly under the...

.............just come across this, never seen one in white so imagine this is a non-standard colour? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-2-0-16v-Renaultsport-182-/220882802951?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item336da41907

Have decided to attempt to 'tighten' everything up on the Trophy and first move will be poly bushes on the dogbone mount. Seem to have a lot of engine movement since I have been utilising the higher rev range following RS Tuner remap. Wondering whether to just replace the dogbone mount bushes...
