2 large washers on the thead usually sort this out (see photo) this even happened on my MK1 172.

yes light on means its off. interestingly the R27 esp kicks in a lot sooner than the trophys ever did, maybe it just lets go sooner?

oh yeah I remember you getting the Williams speedlines for the winter a couple years ago. merry Christmas old chap

tractor has a nice one for sale. dampers & belts done and has about those miles on.

cheers Scott

Yes i've got "Trophy sellers remorse" right now, i let the wife put the money into the mortgage with the promise of a new M3 when its paid off in 3 years :D - i just felt it was the right time to sell and i'm sure Elliot is a worthy next owner, the effort this guy went to assured me of this...

yeah i'd agree with all that...i think anyone seroiusly looking for a trophy knows that to look for.

well theres still that tosser with YY55 in Gosforth, and i heard there were a couple in westerhope, theres another guy i know with one out in Ponteland but hes only on RS - dont worry you're not the "only Trophy in the village" :D

Yes the dampers had just been done, and with only 22.5k on the clock it was still a very fine example. I still have the R27 though. Sad to see the Trophy go.... but as George Harrison once said "all things must pass". you can now remove my 3rd star :(

no it's not on the stickers inside the door... and yes he has been told

yes it was being asked about last weekend, thats why i went for a look.

Just had a look at a Trophy for sale at the Arnold Clarke Ford main dealer on Scotswood Rd - Newcastle Upon Tyne. its up for £7500 with 40k on the clock - Reg SM55 FUV - aparently came from a scottish dealer Described as "mint" by the clueless salesman when i went in... however it was'nt. Badly...

fame at last...

This post really Pi55ed me off ! firstly i dont see how your comments can possibly contribute anything to a post from a guy selling his car. And secondly i would argue that your comments are completley out of date, some Trophys may have dipped to this level at the height of the recession but not...

good... i was going to post a video on YT when my shocks went so you could see how much movement there was at the front end but i never got round to it...

sent you a PM

a place in Newcastle does custom jobs , they did me a custom stainless zorst for my mk1 172 back in the day

check dampers mate...warranty won't cover these, last owner could have traded it in - rather than get them rebuilt. if you get the number you could check in the register to see if the last owner is on here...that's kinda what it's for.

pros - light weight cons - expensive

sounds like it...usuall clueless dealer advertising it with "Climate Control" #-o check for damper rebuild.

is this reg on a trophy..?? im from newcastle and dont know of this reg on any trophys, Scott might know the car. isnt "SM" a Carsile prefix?

and the "bonnet catch" manual "incert" page that Renault sent out to customers a few years ago after they finally acepted the issue. wonder how many other people got one of these in the post?

theres a small clio sport manual in there too

no not me...was in Bermuda last week and much prefered it there...

yeah that's pretty sweet and thicker too...i wish the standard trophy steering wheel was a little thicker, after driving the R27 for a while now it feels very thin.

i baged a set from the FF 182, they match the carpet perfectly...the back is just 1 big piece that lies over the exhaust "tunnel" .

HPI check will show up any finance on the car ( unless you just got a basic loan yourself and then bought the trophy with the money )...you will need to pay that off 1st...maybe you could find a buyer willing to pay whats owing direct to the loan company ?..difficult i would imagine You should...

Hey Tijmen wow i cant belive they sold so few 182s in holland...maybe you should be the first to bring a trophy over there. a few people on the site also have GTTs so i'm sure you'll fit right in.

you'll never get it in that garage... :D buy hey...nice

my MK1 172 rusted from water obivously lying inside the tailgate after only a couple years. also worth checking behind the number plate, quite ofter dealers put their own plates on a car but never seem to use the existing holes and drill 2 more, they never bother to seal the original holes and...
