That’s good as it looks as though the Capital website is down, have the company gone?

I think Capital seating are the guys to speak to, they import them.

Looks better than the “other” one despite that having less than half the miles under its belt.

I was beginning to wonder if they were looking at the same car as me.

There seem to be a few options that will give similar performance to the Sachs, refurbishment is not a cost effective option. Cheapest, just go for the Clio Cup dampers from RPD, very close to the Sachs. Next best would be the Koni, these are adjustable to a certain extent or if you need a...

Indeed, the Trophy should really have been a Clio 182.R

A snip and you get 11326 reward points :)

Well we should all be pretty pleased. With the buyer premium it is a +£11k car with days left to go, top top price for condition.

Spoke too soon, he just knocked it up to £10k

:) I can’t speak for him but I suspect that is price is a little rich, it’s going to need some money spent on it and you can bet your life that having stood that long the first enthusiastic drive will end with the Sachs giving up the ghost!

Wow, just jumped to £9500!

Forbes the early front runner on this one.

Wow a thread from before even my time :) I think the information above is a little misleading as it was my impression there was not an exact match in powder coat???? Has This changed anyone?

Yep the plastic is quite flexible and they just use buttons that are located into holes on the part it is attached to, push the button through the hole and it can be released. I just can’t remember how that tube is attached to the valve.

I’m fairly certain they cannot be refurbished and they are no longer available from Renault so unfortunately you are going to have to fork out a few quid (they were never cheap) It is a well known problem and there are threads on here that mention it if you search. I’ll see if I can find one.

It’s a long time since I did it but your best bet is to go in through the the wheel arch, remove the liners and then you should be able to get at the lower pipe and acoustic valve assembly.

Just visited all the examples listed for sale recently and most don‘t seem to have been moved on as yet. That includes the one on Collecting Cars which has not even moved on from “Pending”! Lots of people on the FB page wanting them but unwilling to lay down the cash?

Well that’s one way to avoid the faff of sending out of the UK!

Probably asking in the wrong place because all of us are going to reply that they are an absolute hoot. Whether they are worth in financially is a different matter. £9k should get you a nice one and it will probably pay for itself but only if you don’t plan on putting too miles on it and will it...

The presentation for sale compares really badly to the example Tom is selling. Obviously much lower mileage than 53, similar prices(ish) but the attention to detail is light years apart.

Forbes, it’s clearly as good as it looks. Do you have any pictures of the work?

I still have two mint PE2s on a couple of my spare rims that look absolutely fine, not sure I’d want to really push them though.

Oooops. Well there’s one of the reasons for my posts in the other thread! At least I said nice things about this one apart from saying it was too expensive.

You and me both.

Well it’s comforting to see that even the baked beans suffer from pink(?) door handles. Those Evo Corse are very nice.

Yep, that’s what I said. £6k too much ;)

Yep, it’s got to have had some paint somewhere I guess, but it’s the little things like new wheel nuts that point to the big stuff also being looked after. Although those things can also flatter to deceive!

Debated whether or not to row into this one but what the hell. I actually think it’s a really nicely turned out example. All the door shuts spotless, cabin all original and in very good condition (bar the ciggie lighter) all plastics good and black, wheels look good and it’s looking really...
