Hi Harry, good luck with the search, you'll need to be as slippery as James Bolivar diGriz to snag a good one at a low price. I've been monitoring the prices for years and I'm sure these cars have done all their depreciating. I think I was a little late to the party getting my car this year as...

#478 85465 and feels fresh as a daisy.

Mizen knows what he's talking about. The Yokos are great in the dry, you just need to treat them in the wet with the sort of respect I've become used to in a heavy, high powered RWD car. BTW I drove hundreds of miles on B roads in the lake district while it rained the entire time. The issue was...

Also in the unlikely event anyone can't work it out. Just for searches sake Changing the rear shocks:- Pre-requisites- 16mm and 18mm socket/spanner and some means of holding the 16mm bolt when you remove it. I used a pair of pliers. No need to jack up the car to start. Work on one side at...

Thanks Rik, went for the purple ones, as you say BLK are track items.

Yep, they are useless though, possibly the worst parts department I've ever used. Totally clueless and disinterested, lucky for you lot you won't ever have to use them as they are in the Netherlands. Powerflex bushes it is then. I really hope they don't make the car's ride worse as it's...

So changed the rear dampers this morning, it couldn't be easier, I could probably do it in 10 mins per side now I know what to do. However for some reason the Sachs rears are provided without the bushings/mounts you'd normally expect to see. Mine are looking second best so I need to replace...

Lots of trips to Eifel and Alps, the Clio is less noisy than my old SL on the motorway because unless it was raining I always had the roof off. Nice and comfy seats too as they're perfectly moulded to my love handles.

I have AD08rs which were put on by the previous owner, the grip in the dry is fantastic but you have to tread carefully in the wet and drive smoothly to maintain swift progress. They break off early but progressively, I can't help feeling they aren't ideal in a daily driver or even as a GT which...

I'm based between the UK and Netherlands but not due back in UK for a few months. I just seem to end up in Germany quite a bit so I've been looking at ebay stuff there.

It will cost 25 euro a wheel to have tyres removed, replaced and rebalanced! I can fit a spare set myself in 20 mins and save the cash. Plus I'll have an emergency spare I can lob in the boot for those long, remote road trips where you don't want to wait for ADAC to turn up. The search...

For example would something like these fit I wonder- don't care about the looks they'll only be going on for a trip to the Alps. As usual there is no information as to exact fitment on the advert. Thus why I wondered if any standard Renault wheel 15" would do the job...

That's a good idea but they seem very thin on the ground in Europe compared to the UK. Thanks for the wheel data guess I'll need to start reading through all the adverts in their entirety and hope they included it.

As I drive into Germany quite a bit I need to put winter tyres on the Trophy to be fully compliant with the law. I've done some reading/searching here but haven't seen a definitive answer to my question thus the new thread. Obviously I'll want to go down a size to 15" wheels with a narrower...

Just fitted the SGS struts. They are not strong enough as standard. They supply them at 340nm. As luck would have it I was driving past them after I went through the Snake Pass (which for some reason was inexplicably empty:) ) and had them regassed to 400nm. They now work perfectly. I would...

I'll swap you back for my old SL in a few years! Thanks for looking after 478 so well. Spent 4 hrs this morning testing it's capabilities on some very nice Cumbrian roads.

Lurker extreme it took me 11 years from joining to posting and owning a Trophy

Good news mate, my search continues! 2 posts in the same week, next thing you know I'll be a main contributor.

Is this still available? btw wonder if I'm the record lurker it's taken me 11 years to post :D
