Well……I’d made a lowball offer of £1250 and it was accepted. It’ll have to live on the drive….picking it up on Saturday. Anyone ever driven a Panda 100hp? Are they actually any good?

Was out at a customer dinner last night….really good….bad hangover…..found out I’ve made an offer on the Panda!!!! Last time this happened I ended up withLand Rover S3…..god knows what I’ll do if they accept it as it doesn’t fit with the Clio 😳😳😳

Wouldn’t care a Panda 100hp for £1250 (in need of work) would be a great daily and project car

Alas about 3cm! I’d spotted that a standard Clio 182 is reported as being shorter than the Trophy!

I’m hoping that the numbers are wrong….. My Clio is still at Micks , so can’t measure it, but does anyone know the actual length of a Clio 182 trophy? Just been offered a Panda 100hp pandamonium (best special edition name ever!) but appear to be 3cm short in garage length if the official...

I did buy #309 but by autotrader and paid £9.5k…probably a bit over the value but was smitten at first test drive 😂

Mick has been a legend…..he managed to find one at a breakers! So problem solved….but as it’s missing I might drop Nick at Pure Motorsport a line as it’s a niche that needs filling

Hi Ed, I contacted RPD via email but got the same response that it’s out of stock. Kev at Kam racing said the same, best possible outcome is to fabricate fabricate one from aluminium or gold coated sheet. Trying a few other places and breakers yards first! Otherwise will be borrowing...

Know anybody who could fabricate that…..or ….how difficult is it to make something do you reckon?

Hi Marc, How do I get beyond “UK system says no”? Is there a way to get them to order it from France or is it out of stock everywhere? Cheers, Dave

Tried Renault again today, still saying out of stock!

Both good choices….for me in that era it would be either; 1. mk1 Astra GTE 2. Alfa 75 Both bigger, but cars I absolutely adore….out of your choice I’d edge towards the Renault

Had a wonderful debate with my better half last night….if you replace the Range Rover with something reliable you can get another toy i the garage…. This on paper sounds good. Things to note; 1. Range Rover has been off the road for 4weeks since New Years….air compressor failure. Brake...

Can you get it from Renault direct? Who do you contact to get it in France? Happy to pay the money

Any idea if Engine Dynamics sell this ? Or anywhere else? As far as I know it’s an original steering rack, so which would that be? SMI or TRW?

Right spoken withMick this morning and it is the below one;

I think I’ve the carpet and fabric heat shield(minus a plastic push fit fastener(need one of those!) I will check tomorrow but I think it’s the heat shield at the bottom of the first image as that looks like it connects into the sub frame

Ok perhaps not that one! It appears to be there although missing a plastic button clip. Mick said it’s the heat shield that has 2 bolts into the sub frame, it apparently tends to bend with time and heat! I’ll try and get a photo today of the subframe where it used to connect to. The problem...

Thanks Marc will reach out to them tomorrow

I’m assuming it’s not this part...

Thankyou Marc, it is number 6….any idea what you’d describe that part as? I’ll give the breakers and eBay a try. As the gearbox is out for the rebuild it makes sense to get it fitted if possible

Hi All, does anyone have a list of heat shield part numbers? Mick tells me I’m missing one from the engine bay but we can’t locate the part ID. If there’s an exploded drawing that would be helpful. Many thanks, David

Just read the below in a weekly classics newspaper: When was the last time anyone saw a project Williams for £3-5k???

😳 she’s decided she’s wants a Range Rover as well….. an L322 4.4TDV8 question….would I be insane to run 2 of these??? I currently run a banger td6 L322….just spent nearly £1500 on it today with new air compressor, 2 suspension air bags, service and a lower control arm…..😭

Also understand indicator stalk is the same on the Dacia Sandero albeit with the horn button the end as well

SWMBO has declared she’s lost faith in the Infiniti FX so time for a change! Looking at larger estates, any views or experience on the Mercedes CLS shooting brake? if not I’ll see if I can persuade her to get another RangeRover😂

First look from Mick on the Infiniti is in, hoping it’s a crank sensor going bad….

Quick one for you all, are there any security items you’d recommend for the trophy over the stock alarm and immobiliser? disc lock?

That is rather special! The one on our old Boxster was nowhere near as nice as that. Attention to detail like that is so important, it’s the same for any contact areas for me.

I had my garage floor done with a fiber resin mix and that’s help up quite well so far.
