Well I thought I'd post an update on my Trophy and why it was running on three cylinders. Its been a while because of Christmas and New Year but I managed to get the car to Mick at Diamond Motors. Thanks Dan@SJM and Steve for recommending Mick. Not met the man yet but what a bloke. He sure...

Thanks guys for your advice. I take it back about Clios. Just worried about shelling out money for it to still be broke. I'll have to get it to Renault at Wolverhampton as Fred has gone now. Don't think my mechanic has got a noid light but he might have access to one. I'll keep you posted as...

If you buy the spark plugs from Renault Wolverhampton then they are the correct NGK ones. I know this because I bought new spark plugs from them the other week

For all that have replied to me, I thank you very much. My mechanic has checked the loom and its all in good condition. He has checked and there is no short circuit to earth. So it must be the ECU then, but how can an ECU just fail like this? I'm worried that if I spend the money to buy a...

Sorry I should I forgot to say that we replaced the faulty fuel injector with a brand new one has this hasn't solved the problem

Can anyone help me out and save my Christmas. I have already searched the forums and no one has had this problem of a stuck fuel injector that I can find. I own a Clio Trophy 182 with 42k on the clock which has been well maintained by Fred (but now Fred has shut up shop) and its now running on...

Like I say I don't know if I am right but I've found this if you find this stuff interesting, which explains what I'm trying to say better. http://blog.design-point.com/blog/2013/march/the-importance-of-frequency-analysis.aspx#.VAI7_fldWSo and like I said before, if Sharky cannot see out his...

I know the engine will still vibrate but by have stiffer engine mounts, you have a stiffer system. This will change the natural frequencies of the engine and change where they occur during the rev range. Engines normally have a frequency very low down in the rev range; when you start the car...

Having all that vibration can't be good for the engine in the long run. It may cause components to fail due to fatigue with all that cycles of vibration or shift the load to the next weakest link. I'm not saying solid engines mounts are rubbish. For sprinting, track days etc. Yes ok, but for...

I live in the Capital of the Black Country by Dudley. My cars reg is LY05 RDU and its number 45. Sorry this is in response to davo172

Its got to be all those solid mounts you have. I read in an earlier post that your rear view mirror vibrates so much its a blur. Go back to the normal engine mounts like Freds says. I own a Trophy with 36k on the clock and will eventually need the SACHs refurbished. When I was getting my cam...

Anybody?

So which dampers the Bilsteins or SACHs? I wouldn't run it low due to the UK's roads being rubbish and full of potholes/

I already own a Trophy which I'm keeping bog standard (except for a Yozzasport exhaust which I'm saving up for to replace the rusting standard one) I was thinking about building a Road/Rally car that will handle the bollox and was wondering which set up would be best. I would keep the engine...

Andy, I was over Fred's today. He has repaired the damage from the milk float incident but is now using the Trophy to grow cannabis inside. It looks like its gonna be a good crop too. I must say, anybody who wears a Ushanka and sandal's in this weather must a character.... and Fred is a...
