Cheers. I'd had forgotten how well they drive and handle and those Recaro seats are just so good.

Chears Rich, Hopefully it will get used rather than being stuck in the garage gathering dust...anyway just off to get some milk ha ha.

So number 049 is now finally back on the road.. New alternator, all the belts, dephaser pulley, water pump. New mot, failed on wiper blades and an indiactor bulb, not bad after all that time in a garage. Full service and new ps3 all round. Yes the bill was horrendous, but worth it......

My daughter has just passed her test and wanted you use Tommy. I said 'like to see you get that insured' £1800 as a named driver or out right with a black box £4800, how I laughed.

A bit late, but another old codger here #049 48 yrs old.

This was Andy's (Son of Solo) car. The twin of mine 049. http://www.cliotrophy.co.uk/threads/ch-49-50.42035/ Looks in nice condition.

049 (the real one ;0) ) 36124

Did you have to wait for them to be in stock?

Well I had to wait for about 5 weeks, but now have my ps3's. Next stage new alternator, reprogrammed imoboliser, service, mot and tax..may even get it on the road this year...yikes. (only been nearly 2 years sorn). Kreps the milage down I guess..

Cheers Guys, MMmm shame, will have look into these V12.

Hi All, Its been a while since being on here.... I would like to get my Trophy (049) out of the garage (its only been nearly 2 years SORN). Last MOT I had an advisory for the front PE2 tyres being cracked. I had changed the rears to PS3 83v, and so I thought I got some new PS3 83v from Demon...

Still have 049. I've had this for just over 5 yrs now. Now its just covered 36k. Now garaged an d doesn't get used that much now. Last year it only covered 500 miles. Can't see myself ever getting rid of it. Certainly puts a smile on my face now when it does get used.

Thanks for the replies.... Looks like the PS3 are £117 fitted from Black circle, so not too bad......

Guys, General thoughts on tyres. I noticed the other day my rear tyres are seriously cracked, I think they look like the orginal PE2. They still have plenty of tread on them, but doubt very much they will pass the MOT in June ? I know there is a sticky on tyre choice on here. Getting hold of...

Dare I say this but, Its better than a track day with the clio..... #-o did I just say that...... :lol: Loads cheaper too

The build quality on the freelanders are ok, like I said get the later model ones, as all the niggles are sorted out. Plus you get traction control and hill decent etc. as standard Reliability issues are only on the K series 1.8 petrol engines, head gaskets tend to go. The TD4 (bmw engine) is...

Cue, Go for a post 52 plate Freelander TD4 auto ES (top spec with heated leather seats etc). Brought mine back in March this year. Have upgraded the crankcase breather to a BMW one (has no filter so can't get blocked). A EGR bypass valve and some yoko geolander g012 ATS tyres. I've been to...

Hoolio, I love the comments you make, everyone thinks it...... Yes the T very is special indeed, only 500 made just for the uk market and 50 left hand drive( I think) for the Swiss.... Rare as rocking horse...... Though Hoolio is yours standard ???? with your very cheap exhaust system :lol:

Has it been registered on here ???

Oops.. http://www.hbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/zyview/D=v ... /R=4279535 Try this...

Guys, Just been cruising on clio sport (the dark side) and spotted this...... Haven't been on here for ages, so this might of been talked about already ??? http://www.hbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/zyview/...5#ITEM%20IMAGE Chris

The idle on the T or any 182 can be rough at times.............Mmmmmm best leave alone then ???

If your going to fit a new clutch etc, is it worth replacing the fly wheel with a lightened version ??? Ktec supply these. Is it worth the hassle ??? Chris

Hi, Mine cracked at the same point ages ago, got Renault to 'bodge it' as a new one was around £1400 mark !!!!!!! :o Go get yourself a ktec sport kat, only takes 1/2hr or so to change, get some new clamps and gasket from them too. Not worth fixing really imo. Plus its loads lighter too =D>...

Good call......... I got my cambelt down back in June, the next day the car started mis-firing.... Got the garage to check it out, No. 3 had some hair line cracks in it !!!! though my bill was £140 at the end of day (£17 per plug) Worth doing, even though Renault says 72,000 miles MMMMmm me...

Guys, Seeing as everyone is coming up to cambelt changes I thought I'd share this info... I got quoted from Renault £730 for the cambelt change, which I thought holy Sh........t. Anyway once I questioned the cost this does include the aux belt kit (3 yrs instead of 5), I got mine done in...

Hi, Sounds like you've done the same research as me.... Gone for the same one on Ktec, but using Ebay though, quite a bit cheaper, it works too. =D> Chris

Doh, should of guessed you'd pick up on that..... #-o Not only does Mr chrish27 miss the 7.30am boat ......... (Gaydon T meet) Late on his payments too.......double doh... Ok I 've done a little research on location of these said decals, Sharkyuk ??? had some pics on here with his new...

So not being too nosy :) have you retired there or started a holiday place up ??? Keep thinking about starting life down that way, haven't the balls to do it though...... Yep found the city itself (old one) very commercial, though we stayed about 15km away in some remote place with a pool...
