I am slowly restoring mine bit by bit and trying to get it back to as original as I can. Quite enjoy the car with some tasteful mods, but it's really coming to life restoring everything to how it was designed and built. Recently had a full respray and the car looks like one of the best, albeit...

Sorry to resurrect but have a white black sticker and would like it replaced if anyone can?

Great to see another proud owner, very decent miles and if you keep it that low can only see it going up in value!

I think I used one of those flexible jointed bars and the deep socket from memory, got to get a bolster repaired so one of mine will be out ASAP!

Definately not since my ownership from 2009. The rear shocks were replaced a few years back as I had a spare set, but the springs have only ever been removed, tidied and refitted.

Just noticed a full set of 182 Cup shocks and springs have been listed on ebay which might be worth keeping an eye on. Seriously want to get my rear beam done this year, but surprised how well my original springs (148k miles) have done and little signs of rust!

I don't think there was much to it once the front seats are out, was a bit of a pain on the ground but I managed to do the 2 inner rail bolts without removing the exhaust from memory. The other side trims, rear side trims and front centre surrounds were all a doddle ?

Merry Christmas to one and all!

Another vote from me to the forum ones, absolutely spot on!

Very sad, I cannot think how I'd be feeling in your shoes. If you need any help with the claim let me know as worked with motor insurance for 15 years +. If there is an option to keep the vehicle plus a pay out that would be my choice, but depends if you have the heart to pull it apart yourself...

Completely agree, whilst I am no perfectionist I noticed the caps on the wipers were missing and no floor mats, very odd.

Ideal if you also have a spare set of springs and spring hats / top mounts. A breeze with just the strut top cap under the bonnet and the 2 bolts to the hub, providing the top cap isn't too tight!

Breakers yard your best bet, also found on some Mark 3s as per attached image.

Am quite glad I didn't bump into this sort of nonsense, completely agree with you, does not warrant it's place here or on the FB page.

Got mine from the rear seat of a Campus if you struggle to find any ??

For sale is a 90° induction hose in good condition, was fitted to the car when I purchased it in 2009 and putting it all back to stock. £25 including postage.

This is the first time I have removed the rear bumper and all looks spot on. Will give the wing areas some thought, cheers.

Amazed at how these resist the rust to be honest, I don't think I've noticed anything other than a tiny bubble on a rear arch that was a couple of mm in length, and that's living near the sea and high miles on the car. Interesting to know the hotspots for rust and areas to protect. I've seen...

There are usually several sets for sale cheap enough but the market seems to have dried up!

Denoted by the red and white square stamps, same setup as the 182 Cup by way of rear springs

I was led to believe the Trophy has 182 Cup springs from factory and they are NLA from Renault?

Not sure how these would work with the front setup but a good deal!

That would be awesome, count me in!!

Capital seating are a Recaro specialist and the quote I had was reasonable, but in the same predicament as you with my drivers seat. I'm waiting for a local company to get me booked in who quoted £80+vat for just the imitation leather section

I've never used cornering force and aware that there are a couple of other options but I paid £144 Inc vat each and the service received was the best yet ?

Is that for a service with the pistons replaced? There are far more competitive places, approximately £250 + VAT for a service of both shocks is what I would expect. Admittedly my service prices at BG years ago were much steeper than this but I did have one piston replaced which pushed it...

Funnily enough me and my brother have one of each and both great cars, sorry to hear about the incident in yours and hope you find a decent Trophy! ??

I don't think it was a rumour, lol. It also affects the seals if the car has lived by the sea!
