I asked the same question almost a year ago and took the advice of the specialist I use (SWR) and opted to change it at the 3 years. It'll come as a kit with the tensioner from renault.

Anyone refusing paypal over a transaction as big as this is an awkward shit at best. I wouldn't be touching that personally.

What a fantastic mix. Just need a barge to complete!

Why on earth would they stop producing these?

I think looking at pretty much any car in terms of a real investment is the wrong way to go about things. In general, I'd say it's the sort of people who won't truly appreciate the cars for what they are that think like that though. Like seeing an F40 that's only done 2k miles and such like.

Take comfort in knowing that with a limited number in the first place they can only go up again as the years roll on.

Ah ok. 9 years NCB, no points and a good post code should hopefully fair better!

How much was it if you don't mind? My renewal with Aviva is only £280 but I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for an agreed value policy.

These days? You make it sound like they're at the bottom of their depreciation! As a percentage I'd say they're worth significantly more than a regular 182, all else being equal. Mine was £5k on over 70k miles 4 years ago. It's now on over 100k miles and I'd suspect I'd get £5k again for it...

What's the latest on Greenlight with the Trophy? Renewal is due in a a few weeks and I've wondered about an agreed value policy this time.

Mine is bubbling here but I didn't realise it was common to a specific side. What causes it?

I'll take a PM if you're offering a copy and paste summary?

Got the gearbox out just now and a chap on cliosport has refurbished it and the diff, going to chuck a clutch in too given it's stripped that far and over 100k miles. What are folks thoughts on brands? Sachs is always a safe bet in my eyes but a quick google had a few folk mentioning to stick...

Pretty cheap, wouldn't expect it to hang around.

Looks a cracker. May I ask how much you got for it? Given the asking price and selling so quickly I'd assume it's a good indication of values still being on a nice upwards trend.

To put it politely, that's absolute bollocks. If it's an original water pump it's a no brainer to do, think the part is only around the £30 mark.

How often are you forced into changing yours due to corrosion? The Trophy is a second car but still gets used a few times a week. Regardless, I find the rear discs especially always end up corroding quite badly. Fronts at the minute are apparently a bit corroded on the inside too, plenty of...

Mmm sounds odd. I did my M5 headlights then put a wax on them afterwards and in the 2 years I still had the car from then they were totally fine.

Why are you wanting new ones? If it's because the lenses are cloudy just used a 3M headlight restoration kit.

The MM ones I linked to show as in stock now.

Bit of a follow up here. Not sure how much the injector issue actually had to do with the cruise control now as the EML came on again the other day (not a misfire code but relating to the cat) and it being on does not affect the cruise control at all. The only other issue I suggested to them at...

Make that 2 for Angus.

I've just chucked £750 at mine and have a misbehaving 7 series to boot so it's highly unlikely for me.

If you only use BG maybe.

Bartering with the French, good luck. ;)

Just had the aux. belt kit done at SWR and a few other bits and pieces. Replacing the injectors now leaves me with working cruise control for the first time in 3.5 years. Interestingly enough it seems that an issue with them while not triggering the EML was enough to stop the cruise from working.

Sounds good in theory but you guys must be doing all right if you can drop £600 for a 'just in case'. I'll have a bill for about a grand this weekend and that's not the dampers or cambelt!

I was lucky with CF as it was timed conveniently when the powder coater appeared so had them back within a week. Think they said they'd typically be 2-3 weeks though.
