Update- just got PS3's in XL guise fitted today, will see how different they feel. Just pressing the sidewall by hand it's obvious how little flex they have in comparison to the Goodyears.
Liked the idea of the AD08R's but on a recent drive over the Cairn O'Mount in cold, greasy conditions, the...
Any joy in the end?
I'm unsure what to go for next, it's between the XL PS3 or the AD08R.
I've had Goodyear Eagles more or less since I got it and although happy with them, lots of people say they're not the best for feel and precision due to being so soft. That's not just Trophy owners but...

Change in work circumstances forces sale.
Car had a Hartech engine rebuild (~£7000) at 54k miles with the previous owner in 2013. Improved IMS bearing was fitted at this time so...
Prying the cover off is easy. The fiddly bit with that is getting the replacement cover back on while keeping the springs and plastic gubbins for the AC and recirculation switches in place. Took me a couple of attempts but it is manageable.
Just remember and check the two buttons work there and...
I bought mine from mossy.
If you're only doing this to replace a badly peeled original then it's far, far easier to pop off the cover of the assembly and just swap them round. Still a bit of a scutter but replacing the whole thing with the fan connection cables etc. at the back looks like an...
I've had similar for a while and am no further forward as all mounts are fine.
Only happens when coming off the accelerator, never when accelerating. I did find a post on the Clio forum when it turned out to be the carbon cannister for someone after going through similar with the mounts.
Yet...
I've owned 2 cars at a time for a while now and I've found the more eclectic the pairing the better. (Trophy and an M5, now the Trophy and a Boxster)
With that many cars I'd be looking for more variation personally, don't see the point in having so many of the same thing. It's nice to be able...
Back to this as the fronts don't have loads left in them.
If I were to replace these with the XL PS3's, would having the other 2 as non-XL tyres (until they wore out) have a detrimental effect?
To go full circle, I've just today refitted the refurbished Sachs dampers. Given I've been driving on the cup dampers and springs for a while now I feel like I can give my input, albeit I've only had a short drive on the fresh Sachs I know the roads well and was pushing on.
A 20 minute blast...
Very slow, from max to min on the expansion tank in around 1600 miles. Recently replaced the cap with an original Renault one to no avail.

Pressure tested the system with no drop or signs of leaks but the...
Just refitted my springs to the shocks today. Around 75-80cm is the length you want to cut the tubing, this gives you the coverage as in the picture of mine.
You'll want a tub of very hot water to soak it in and a penetrating oil of some description. Don't worry if it gets stuck a couple of...
I've just recently bought the tubing mentioned and should be fitting it imminently, you'll need 2 metres-

If you spent that on a regular 182 to make it into a Trophy you'd still never get close to the same back when selling.
I think you'd have to be mental personally.
How much did you get for it?
Mine is on a similar mileage and I'm curious as if it's anywhere near the asking price then it's good evidence these really have gone up noticeably in value. It's one thing seeing higher asking prices and another thing what they're actually selling for.
