Listened to the new Chris Harris 'Collecting Cars' Podcast with Jethro Bovingdon and he mentioned he now has a Trophy... I wonder which number ? If you haven't listened to these podcasts they are well worth a listen

The chaps at Birchdown, Peacock Farmyard, Oldcastle, Malpas,, Malpas SY14 7AE, come very highly recommended and I have used them for a good while and been very please with the service, knowledge and prices..

It's a shame that such a great driver's car doesn't get driven.

Try and check the starter motor connector. It's a bit fiddly to get to, but if the manifold is cold you should be able to put your hand down the back of the manifold. Mine was loose a while ago and that solved it.

In the Summer I replaced all 4 tyres with Federal 595 RS-R. Very pleased with them so far, giving plenty of grip,although probably not the best for Winter.

Love the TVR's & looking forward to the new Gordon Murray designed TVR later this year...

I have a set of front Sachs, not sure of the history as they came with the car. They look in good condition and any rust looks to be surface. I would probably rebuild before fitting them, £400 collected from Shrewsbury would post at cost. Viewing is available if necessary.

Hi Pete, Tried to PM you but your inbox is full. If you contact me that would be great.

Birchdown near Maplas have an excellent reputation with Clio's. Very good service and prices, well worth the trip there. http://www.birchdown.com/

The Trophy has had many plaudits since it's launch. If it not to your liking perhaps it might be a good idea to have a qualified mechanic inspect it.

Thanks Chaps... i will Possible sell them at some point.Thanks for the info.

I have an incomplete sets of Sachs i.e. no gaitors, bump rubbers or springs & was wondering what they are worth? I don't know when they were last refurbished but look in okay condition.

I will need a couple of new front tyres soon and with the PS3's not being readily available now I wonder if anyone else is running 'mixed' tyres and what works best, another option would be to replace all 4 and perhaps sell/keep the rears.

Birchdown have a very good reputation within Renault's circles. They are based in Maplas. http://www.birchdown.com/

Birchdown offer a great service and price. Never been let down and wouldn't use anyone else now.
