Re dampers. I'm sure I've seen cit-ren on eBay breaking Trophys for spares now and again. They may have some dampers, if not now, in the near future. If a T has been rear ended the front dampers may be fine.
Oh dear. The main selling point of the T is the front Sachs dampers. This is the first thing a prospective owner should check. Followed by cambelt kit changed or not. I'm surprised someone in your line of work missed the 2 most important things!
Cambelt kit & aux belt kit mustbe genuine Renault...
Since my posts about this car has passed MOT test with no advisories! So not yet. But due to cost of new dampers & life span/no guarantee of re-furb, it will happen.
Having previously owned a new 182 FF with cup packs back in 2004 putting cup dampers on mine doesn't fill me with dred. And will free me from the worry (and cost) of new dampers/refurbs. I'll let you know in a month or so what i think to them. Fortunately i still have good PE2's up front. Just...

5000mls. There's no mileage on the receipt from BG but I can tell from my MOT certificate as that it when the original leak was discovered. Not impressed.
You are in a fortunate position...Drive both back2back over the same roads... Best comparison you can make. Have fun and let us all know what you think.
My brother is Bob, the first four letters of our surname are 'else', he lives in Dorset and he's been looking at 182s! (true) I suggested he would be better off spending the money on a 205 GTi (not true).;)
