Thanks for the feedback / discussion folks.

This is quite a common problem and is usually down to a battery on the way out. The fact the car is still doing it despite having a new battery is interesting... Next time you're out and about try turning on the ignition but NOT turning it over. Let the electrical systems come up and wait 10...

Hi folks, A little moment of your time if you please. :smile: As many of us here know, this forum has a really useful Owners' Register section. Each 182 Trophy is listed by number and owners and enthusiasts alike are able to update each car's 'history' by adding appropriate content to the...

Congrats on the purchase :smile: I would do what @dablk suggested and look to go for a complete suspension refresh - wishbones, bushes, top mounts, the lot. I recently had this done on my missus' Type-R and it's like a new car again. As hypocritical as I might risk sounding, I would avoid...

Yep, totally agree mate. I also considered buying 10 sets to ensure the stock was snapped up but it soon became apparent they would all sell due to interest. I wasn't planning to make a profit had I bought the 10 sets; just to basically hold them for Trophy owners and sell on at the price I...

Let's be honest - that was always going to happen though. Truth is not all of us are deep-rooted Trophy enthusiasts and some are only here to make a quick buck.

I didn't think it would hang around for too long!

...you had to go and open your mouth... :P Not a bad run at all, though! :)

I believe there's a 6.5k miles Trophy somewhere in the south east area... or there used to be.

Hi mate - the 'mismatched' set are being returned for a full refund (if they haven't already been returned). As things stand, BenG is currently out of pocket until the refund has been issued.

If I weren't currently in the middle of a house purchase I would snap it up myself. Lovely example. Good luck with the sale and I hope it goes to a deserving home!

Yep - agree with the above. I think it's fair that Tim (@Claude ) has the pick of the bunch and chooses a 'matching' set for himself. Everyone else into the lottery. :)

Absolutely this. Different colours / shade is not a big problem in my opinion. We really landed on our feet with this group buy at the end of the day. :smile:

Hi Tim, thanks for the update and holding on to the items. I will be around the Salisbury area the 6th,7th and 8th of April and I think you're only about an hour or so drive away? I may well be able to pop over and collect them. If not there will be plenty of other opportunities as you say...

Nice one, @Claude - thanks!

£3,070 for the pair! :fearscream: :tonguewink:

He only posted a few hours ago so there's a good chance it's available... @Bobbychewit ???

What's your Trophy number mate? :) Thanks.

Ok - hopefully the link works now. It should contain the latest information (although it doesn't allow sorting at present and it doesn't show Trophy numbers). https://andyeder.uk/trophytracker/location.php

Pfft, it doesn't work properly in Internet Explorer... now there's a surprise. I'll try and fix it later tonight.

This might work... no guarantees as it's been hacked together quickly! It probably won't work so well on mobile devices I'm afraid. https://andyeder.uk/trophytracker/location.php

Let's have a little update. The figures are based only on the replies I've received in this thread. Latest stats: # of respondees: 33 (England - 25; Scotland - 5; Wales - 3; Northern Ireland - 0) Bristol - 3 (418, 368, 358) Berkshire - 2 (455, 277) Cheshire - 2 (403, 016) Cumbria - 2 (266...

They have all been sold now and my understanding is that all stock is exhausted.

Luke's car was/is a nicely used example. I saw it up at Mick's place (Diamond Motors) a while back; ready to be enjoyed!

Many thanks, Ben! :smile: I can finish wrapping and labelling them up now. I will have to wait a few days before sorting a courier though due to the local roads being largely impassable at the moment. Pfft! :worried:

Just had a rather crazy thought... I'm not sure what the last known RRP was from RenaultSport for the Sachs but, the last time I enquired, I was quoted £3,070. That's one heck of a saving (even if RRP is significantly less than I was quoted!) I'm not sure we all could have raised over £70,000 in...

@BenG - I like your carpet and rugs :) Thanks to you and @Claude for making this happen.

I think Bristol might take the lead shortly...

Thank you, sir - much appreciated. :)
