As above please folks, have around 5K or so to buy a Trophy, looking for one that has had belts done as well as dpehaser where possible and dampners in good condition, if not refurbished yet. Ideally something 65K or less, I know this criteria is fairly specific but if you're thinking of...
From memory it's only 6 screws holding the spoiler to the bootlid, light is only held in with a couple of clips. Best to be done with two people though, one to hold the spoiler and one to close the boot.
If they were done at BG motorsport they did have a known issue of seals or something similar failing on them. You could ring them and ask where you stand, someone on here had theres redone after parts BG fitted had failed.
I shall have a look, guy took them off and replaced them with coilovers for ze lows apparently. Though obviously I'm keen to putthe sachs back on if they're in good order.
Is there anyway I can check the effectiveness of the dampners once they are off the car? Obviously I know to check for misting on the units, though should they be pretty solid if I try to move them by hand?
Won't be the first car to have it done to. Mate went an looked at a 182 that had more non-sport parts on it than sports parts. Alloys, seats, bumper, spoiler all replaced with non-sport equivalent.
Well lets not forget that a standard 72K service will include cam belt and auxillary belt kits, so that sounds about a standard price. One of the Renault specialist should be able to quote you a price that is half that of Renault.
