Happy? Nope, it was a shut up and take my money moment. I want them but realise someone else's need will be greater. so you're welcome.

Rear dampers if they become available please. edit, actually that's really greedy, I have several pairs and if someone else has a genuine need feel free to pipe up.

Did Eibach not manufacture them? If so they would surely have the Specs..... Good to see you are on this, whilst I have spare sets of front springs I do not even have a spare old set of the rears, if I had some new ones you would be welcome to borrow.

So that seems to be the fronts sorted, who originally manufactured the rears?

I thought it was a pretty useless site to be honest aimed at the mainstream current ranges, or is that a bit harsh? Still I think I will stick with those that have sorted out for the last few years.

Dawn has both, she would know. But as mentioned could easily be from basic Clio.

Maybe but I said 172 cup, different beastie. Though that my not be their origin anyway.

I always assumed that it used the 172 cup interior?? Though rear bench was stolen from one of the poverty spec clios.

£2, 000 pounds, 49k, dependant on condition even without garage service history you still have an £8k ish car there, once mot is sorted.

Recognised the details straight away, so much for the sellers 100% positive feedback!

Sorry, I'll modify that. As it stands I would be unlikely to take the risk.

It is a piece of cake to set up a PayPal account, a bank transfer overseas gives you almost zero protection and if he was a serious seller he would offer PayPal as an option. It could be that he is perfectly legitimate but he won't be getting my money.

Sorry I should read properly, you do say a set. Shit near vision. RPD are now O/S of the nearside.

Nearside or offside? Renault Parts Direct still have OE but one is now in short supply if not NLA.

**Chassis** Stupid autocorrect

I spoke to Jeremy Townsend (then RS marketing manager)when he was mooching around my 5 at a show years ago and he confirmed that there was never any record kept of Trophy number against chases number, they simply didn't know.

i was going to ask if anyone else had seen this, and their thoughts?

Check your rear light clusters, there is possibly a short there caused by water ingress.

As per Chris above there is a small rubber egg shaped gasket between the upper inlet and the top of the engine, just a clean should be enough and there is a gasket between the upper and lower gasket, I should have the part number at home but it is readily available from Renault parts direct.

I always said that my 5GTT handled roads in much the same manner as the Trophy, a statement that was generally met with quizzical looks and "yeah right"

The price for the original Reno units was always a hard ask, the same kind of money for some of dubious spec, pretty sure that's going to work for me.

That's a shame mate, for a few reasons but I do also like a good project thread.

Not really sure either, but there was once a silver trim Trophy it's possible he meant that one?? Nope, just found the pictures of that one. Different plate.

The Brexit vote has f*$ked up pretty much everything, some would argue temporarily I think something akin to turkeys voting for Christmas but at some point things will stabilise. It's a talking point. but it only really effects those wishing to buy - good news and those wishing to sell - bad news.

The drop in the value for these also means less of the absolute shite ones finding their way back onto market at ridiculous prices and thus finding their way to where most should now be heading!?

Who knew, we have a seamstress in our midst :)

And I believe neither are currently available, which is a bit of a shag as I would like some new rears.

No surprise, you do not reply to my PM.

He's pretty good, his other track car is a GT3 but yeah harsh. He keeps promising me a go but suspect it would be a quid pro quo and i can't afford not to worry about bent bits on the T.

Just hitting the kerbs!!!
