Cool, good to hear of someone that knows what they're about for various bits. We're Swinton way, so not a million miles by the sound of it.

Fraid not, wouldn't quote for me despite other vehicles in household. Capped at 5000 miles and no commuting.

Yeah, issues with space and lack of current mot to get to places I fear. Temp cup dampers going on shortly, can then see how shot the Sachs are and see if they need shot and powder...

18th Nov for me if anyone's remotely bothered...

Bawlzfresh brand "Growler-B-Gone"

Yup, cup shocks being ordered today, just got to sort somewhere local to switch them out. Seem to live in a desert for Clio specialists.

Portland - 265, registered November (I think) 2005, no V5 to hand!

Annoyingly no callback, so no idea if I've passed or failed. Upside, one of the blokes there is into his 172s and gave Rik a big thumbs up ; ) Will be on the lookout for interim cup shocks in all probability!

You're not wrong!

Was just wondering how many original owners are left these days - would suspect V5s with no previous owners are in a minority...

Thanks folks, was just popping back on to see if getting a set of cup or similars on as an iterim was a possibility. Sounds like it is! Just keeping things crossed for tomorrow and see what the trauma is - rear discs and pads are very thin and will need an ABS sensor regardless, so train and...

265 95k give or take

MOT tomorrow, looking like poss fail - the time has come, which is not great timing £ wise.

Think you spotted me too - nice to see Trophys in random places and give them a toot or a wave :up:

May have been the missus borrowing mine. She's not a particular Trophy fan, still misses her previous cars of MkII 16v GTi and S2000.

Just a quick check - didn't get my PM notification, so haven't been on for a bit. Am I still good for mine? Cheers

Give me a prod if you're struggling to make up numbers...

To elaborate, the section behind the firewall was OK, was the length going into engine block that went...

OK, here's an odd one, should there be any heat shielding round the servo hose, or at least between it and the bulk of the engine? Managed to melt mine last MOT when they were doing emissions. Am now wondering if a bit of shielding I never noticed before has disappeared... How did I know it...

Toddler and new little one arriving end of Feb. Boot takes the Hauck pram (which takes two) or the smart trike with no probs. Currently got 2 car seats in the back (as have just changed.) Might be a VRS Octavia estate in a few years, but Trophy is fine for now. Alternative is not so practical...

Got mine from the stealers when it was showing a little under oomph at 8 year service. Can't complain at 8+ years in a French car ; )

If they fancy chucking some spare hangers in though, I won't object, think one of mine is a bit dodgy. Nice sound btw, not over the top and much lighter than OEM (before you even get to better flow)

I've already got one... ... it's verrr nice.

Barely run in. Had 265 from new, pushing 80k now. When the offspring get a bit bigger, may have to look to a VRS or similar, but fine for now...

265 for me from new too. Pushing 80k now, 2nd offspring on the way in Feb - see, practical!

I live in South Yorkshire, but have been going to Harrats in Pontefract for several years. They've been great in the past, but the trouble is, they seem to be going downhill - more expensive, not returning calls, and I'm losing a bit of trust. Any recommendations for dealers/specialists oop...

I'm also up for a keyring fob (265 if we're getting numbered) and a tax disc holder. Original one has now shrivelled off and the only one we've got knocking about is for an S2000 :p

Heading towards the M1 on A637 yesterday. Looked tidy.

Just down the road in Swinton - not a Trophy specific plate or anything, but there's not a lot of us around anyway :D
