There's been some 'previous' on this subject. http://cliotrophy.co.uk/forum/viewtopic ... ight=#7716. opinions were divide then.... I'm a strong believer in the condensation theory although I also cannot quite square it off with my experiences of repeated 'drop out' on the rear window. Even...

Sold Gone Finito It was great while it lasted but time to move onl. Adios SILKMAN

It's great to hear you are OK. Sounds a tough call to write it off. Did the floor pan end up being bucked as well? Cold tyres and diesel are an unforgiving combination. SILKMAN

All, We need a bigger car for the kids so it's gotta go.....but with regrets as it's the best fwd I've ever had. I'm looking for £9400 This car is 100% standard, always garaged overnight and has never been anywhere near a track. The car has full Renault service history and was...

That would be me. I remember seeing the Clio Willy. SILKMAN

#220 for sale. Interested? Steve, I 'm not sure if you are looking to pick up clean trophys but mine in now going to be for sale. Your indicated a price range a couple of months a go against a R27. Now I just want to sell to fund a bigger car for my wife to drive and the kids to fit in...

OR it could have been me on my way to work. Spooky. I'll look out for both of you SILKMAN

Am I the only one who finds "More Than" the cheapest? Perhaps 'cos I'm 39 helps but I have a £3k claim against me in the last couple of years but I'm in for £360 with a £200 xs. Feels good to me. SILKMAN

Cars intruiged to own, hey? 1) That Lancia 4 door with the Ferrari engine ; Thema 8.32 wasn't it 2) Audi S8 3) Alfasud ti 4) Mk 2 Escort RS1800 (and a bag of "Blue Circle" cement in the boot) 5) Citroen Traction Avant (in Black) not sure what it says about me, though. SILKMAN

Only owner of #220 here. September 2005 from Crewe and 14.5k under the wheels since. No intention of selling to anyone, ever, for any money (well, maybe not exactly true but there's nothing out there that wets my whistle). An Alfa 159 for the big distances/ family matters helps the love...

Touche.. Been there and done that in a VX220 NA. ouch. and it too over 3 months off the road for all the parts to come through and get repaired. in the high of summer. Bugger. Awesome car in the dry when driver loaded with caffine/ Red Bull. Not so good in the winter (no effective internal...

A fine car and an long-overdue nod of respect to a greatly under-rated driver (that's RB, not your work mate) SILKMAN

Kids in the back? No problem. My two (11 and 9) love it for the excitement and the difference. They would like to see a bit more of the road in front though than two holes. SILKMAN

I asked for one and was sent two SILKMAN

Metro 1.0L Five door Red fading into pink on horizontal surfaces. Not a f&nny magnet by anyone's standard. Couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. Leaking Hydrolastic suspension created some fun, though, on the corners. SILKMAN

La Plagne in March - seems an age away but it gives more time for decent snow fall SILKMAN

Lancia Delta Integrale

It's just VAG parts sharing - the Touran has the same bumper as the Polo!!

I'm glad to hear it!

Was it up the Winnats? A good test of grunt - it is. SILKMAN

VX. Character in bucket loads. Agreed The sort of character that I failed to appreciate when I took all 4 wheels off it on a tight 90 right in light drizzle. I didn't even get the chance to shape my mouth into the first letter of an "oh-my-god" exclamation before the rear number-plate...

From the after-market rub strip on the front near side and the silver metallic colour (with clearly a Permaguard treament), it's a 1998 VW Polo 1.2. Surely I cannot be the only one to spot it? SILKMAN

Great driveway photo. My Vx had to go to fund the Trophy so I couldn't manage the double act. Which do you prefer? SILKMAN

Thanks nickb L**kers are the shower that took 3 months to specify, source and fit suspension parts to my Vx and then managed to scratch the body and flood the inside while they were at it. However that's a bit like saying all Wetherspoons are pants just because one gives you the wrong change...

cheers (serial avatar swapping) stevegunnis. Reno Chester must have the same service personnel selection policy as V**xall who could, at a push, just about recognise the front from the rear of my old Vx Anyone recommend a dealer in the Cheshire/ S. Manc area? SILKMAN

GUYS Advice please - I've just been told by a Reno main dealer that the interval for my Trophy is 2 years or 18k miles. I'm @ 12 months and @ 8k miles so was looking to get it done in the next couple of months anyway but was just checking it was not due immediately. Are they talking...

I get your sentiment! A great car and so involving. I got fed up when it was off the road for over 3 months awaiting suspension parts following an "oh my god - here comes the rear" off. My fault but coping with the consequences as an only car proved too much. SILKMAN

Moving the other way Am I the only only who moved from a VX to a Trophy? It was a cracking car but a bit difficult to cope except as a second car! SILKMAN

Matt, as the originator of the first thread I agree entirely with your summary. Warm it through, then give it the beans a couple of times and the vapour trail disappears. Job done. SILKMAN
