    Really? What science? And why in God's name did you decide to train in Statistics?

    will the trophy hold its value?

    I think given the rarity and the following the car has it will eventually regain some value. Of course at the moment its just a 182 to most people I am sure. Possibly if Renault had done something with the engine too it would have helped, but I am sure somewhere down the line it will be more...

    NEW PROBLEM: STOP & Battery light

    Everything has checked out as normal. The warning lights are no longer coming on. I did tell the dealer it maybe the alternator, but they said they could find nothing wrong...

    NEW PROBLEM: STOP & Battery light

    Well guess what, as I drove to the dealers it stopped doing it. Has not done it since either. Very strange. The dealer couldn't reproduce the fault and so couldn't fix anything.

    Top Gear - 8pm

    Oh and as mentioned in another thread, rest in peace Richard Burns. That piece on Top Gear was superb. I am in awe of his driving. How someone can drive like that is beyond me.

    Great show as always. That mountain biker has some skills! Oh and the Zonda F! Oh my word, that sounded great. Should this topic not be in General Chat though Nik ;) ???

    NEW PROBLEM: STOP & Battery light

    Just thought, can someone do me a quick favour? Turn on the ignition, but only to the 1st set notch, if you see what I mean, so the electrics come on but the engine doesn't start. All the status lights go off? On my car, the STOP and battery light stays on. Is this normal? Then when I...

    NEW PROBLEM: STOP & Battery light

    Ok, so when they phone and say they can't find any probs (whcih I am 90% sure will happen), are they going to be able to check that this is the prob? I guess it doesn't help that the engine mgm light is on too because of my sports cat. After I mentioned the exhaust, they said, oh yeah we've...

    NEW PROBLEM: STOP & Battery light

    Can anyone help with this? While driving (ie. doesn't happen when stationary) when I go above 3000rpm the red STOP and battery lights flash on and off seemingly randomly. Sometimes they stay on for a little bit, but usually go out again when the revs drop. I feel no other probs, the car feels...

    What? You'd have to pay? What crap! If they can't put a steering wheel on straight who's fault is that??? You buy a new car, you want it made right... right?

    The king is dead long live the king

    Don't get me started on 5th gear. I think the show last week reached an all time low... As far as looks, I prefer modern cars. I much prefer the new Golf to the original, and the way the Trophy looks compared to the Williams. As for the ST. I am not sure. Wasn't it still slower than the...

    Its not the brakes/wheels seizing due to damp and cold is it? It wasn't due to tiny movements of the wheels? Just a guess...

    4Car Trophy Review

    For f**k sake guys. Can we stop this. There is just no need. This forum a few weeks ago was grown up and informative, now look. I am not pointing any fingers, but can we drop the juvenile comments and insinuations? Just for expressing an opinion about cars no matter how wrong someone else may...

    4Car Trophy Review

    Fair enough, and I agree with you on most of those points. I totally agree about the racing. I was reading and thinking wtf?! From an article that starts all about his feelings about the car and progresses to an almost actual car review, I am sure its not the guy's best article... Right...
