Sorry I should read properly, you do say a set. Shit near vision. RPD are now O/S of the nearside.

Nearside or offside? Renault Parts Direct still have OE but one is now in short supply if not NLA.

**Chassis** Stupid autocorrect

I spoke to Jeremy Townsend (then RS marketing manager)when he was mooching around my 5 at a show years ago and he confirmed that there was never any record kept of Trophy number against chases number, they simply didn't know.

i was going to ask if anyone else had seen this, and their thoughts?

Check your rear light clusters, there is possibly a short there caused by water ingress.

As per Chris above there is a small rubber egg shaped gasket between the upper inlet and the top of the engine, just a clean should be enough and there is a gasket between the upper and lower gasket, I should have the part number at home but it is readily available from Renault parts direct.

I always said that my 5GTT handled roads in much the same manner as the Trophy, a statement that was generally met with quizzical looks and "yeah right"

The price for the original Reno units was always a hard ask, the same kind of money for some of dubious spec, pretty sure that's going to work for me.

That's a shame mate, for a few reasons but I do also like a good project thread.

Not really sure either, but there was once a silver trim Trophy it's possible he meant that one?? Nope, just found the pictures of that one. Different plate.

The Brexit vote has f*$ked up pretty much everything, some would argue temporarily I think something akin to turkeys voting for Christmas but at some point things will stabilise. It's a talking point. but it only really effects those wishing to buy - good news and those wishing to sell - bad news.

The drop in the value for these also means less of the absolute shite ones finding their way back onto market at ridiculous prices and thus finding their way to where most should now be heading!?

Who knew, we have a seamstress in our midst :)

And I believe neither are currently available, which is a bit of a shag as I would like some new rears.

No surprise, you do not reply to my PM.

He's pretty good, his other track car is a GT3 but yeah harsh. He keeps promising me a go but suspect it would be a quid pro quo and i can't afford not to worry about bent bits on the T.

Just hitting the kerbs!!!

Cryptic as always.

A friend of mines at Donnington Park the other evening giving it some, he now has three buckled wheels though.

Like the wheels from Speedline, I thought the rear and front dampers for that matter were a Renault commissioned item and as such those manufacturers would not be able to supply even if they wanted to. But heres hoping.

Ah sorry, so you know the ABS has a problem. TBH I just went on the one of the on line OBDII fault code finders, none of the Renault codes are a match or even similar, sorry.

Without stating the obvious, you say your ABS is not working? Having said that I'm not sure that is a valid fault code.

Just to add. At £750 it is very strong money, but as it is not original (welded decat) it's not for everyone and overpriced.

Just seen for sale on the Facebook group clio sport.net owners club if anyone is interested.

Yes, I always meant to buy another spare set especially as I should have learnt the lesson from part availability for the 5GTT. General consensus seems to think that they are simply a version of the 172/182 but make by Sachs but i don't think anyone has ever measured them. I think maybe fit the...

RPD site is showing out of stock and the other bunch in Wolverhampton have none on the bay at the moment which doesn't bode too well.....

Yes, Acid Yellow and one of just eight brought to the UK in that colour.

Either way, with the best will in the world it's never going to be an enjoyable experience. But back on message they do look very nice and the Trophy wheel was always pretty shit.

I just don't really see it as an issue (although I'm sure some insurance companies do) we didn't worry about it when we didn't have them in the same way that I don't worry about the fact that the car does not have some of the safely features now considered standard in some cars.
