    Trophy - Bedgebury, Just off A21, Kent

    I was there mountain biking Ajr, I usually hire one though as can't be bothered to dismantle etc and put it in the boot... and these lovely spoilers make a cycle rack a bit of a challenge too! You're pretty damn lucky living so near to that place, its realy nice countryside all around that way...

    Trophy - Bedgebury, Just off A21, Kent

    Hello, yes that was me, good to know you are already on here, day was great, really nice weather and good to be outdoors. Yeah I haven't seen another one for ages either, I looked at yours a couple of times when you came in, I couldn't really believe another one just parked up there 2 mins...

    Glass & Insurance

    Re: Please help urgent - Re Glass & Insurance Cheers guys, insurance says it won't effect my no claims, but thought they might do the old back dor "your premium has gone up... vandalism..." thing... Bit of a problem though Highway insurance don't seem to operate on the weekend, so I can't...

    Glass & Insurance

    Guys, does anyone know if you make a glass claim under your insurance if the policy cost will go up - I am fully comp with Green light and some little scrot has broken my back window - no other damage, but not sure whether to make a claim for it under the excess for £60 or to pay for it to...

Saxo VTS - still miss it and a E46 M3... miss that one more... but love the trophy and don't feel like checking the street every 2 mins to see...

    3 year service

    Cue, Thanks for the link - that's really helpful... mine's due later in the year. Quick question though, if we use people like Mark Fish etc, will Renault still honour any warranty problems - i.e. if in my last service Mark says that a damper is fooked, then Will Renault just say... well you...

    whistling sound

    Yup, cue has it on the money It's pretty annoying to start off with, but can be got rid off by a bit of tape etc... I've just grown used to it tbh appreciate it as one of the quirks of the car!

    trophy vs 197 cup and R26-R ...this months Evo

    It's right at the back before the car rating bit, but I think after fast fleet - only a couple of para's on them though... Bedford is quite poor btw, did it in my old car, and totally flat, and un-inspiring though a safe bet for people wanting to do their first track day.

    Swapping wheels...

    Agree Dave, wouldn't try it if I only had a bit of tread left, have plenty at the mo, so was thinking I would give it a go Anyone else tried this?

    Swapping wheels...

    I've been told that it's reasonable to swap the front set of wheels for the back set of wheels in the interest of 'cough' preserving consistent tyre wear. While I appreciate this is potentially a pikey way to go on tyres, it may make some sense as it means you can manage to have 4 newtyres...

    Dent removal!

    Permaguard is every 12 months quicksilver, (or just after) I just had my first renewal with Avie (dunnno if that's how you spell it) over by CIty airport - looking very clean now, only want to take it out when its not raining!! I phones about a month before it was due and they said I should...

    duplicate build number

    Good suggestion Hoolio, but, I've still got mine (at least it was there when I left for work... :? ) Am very confused about all this - had mine checked by Renault before I bought it, (someone on here's old man actually, so he obviously knows what he is looking for...) As long as we both...

    Mileage

    12,500 on No 177, London Transport is my other car :-( I only use mine at the weekend, done 5k since I bought it last year at 7k. Really hate that I can't use it more, but try to drive it as much as possible!

    No. 435

    Mate, you will love it, especially when it powers into overdrive beyond ~4k rpm... and then holds it into corners and out... What's your car history to this point?
