Peter, thanks for posting this, really interesting, as I am currently joining the growing queue for Mr Perry to work his magic on my dampers. One question, I notice that the original Renault part stickers look really new, did you source replacements to put on after the dampers where refurbished...

Thanks for the heads up, will have a look!

Ah handy thanks. Which number are you bringing back to the UK?

Well that's a nice surprise.

I've been in the same place, I think getting the belts done is the right thing and gives you a better negotiating position if you do decide to sell.

Wow what a fantastic thread, wish I had read this sooner. Rik incredible work you have done, really look forward to sending mine dampers to you shortly.

All thanks for you advice, with regards to Rik. I spoke to him this afternoon, what a nice guy, did not realise what he did for a living also chatting it through with him, gave far more confidence that he out of all the people I had spoken to would be the right person to go to.

LOL probably not at the moment tbh

Thanks for the advice, I have PM's Rik.

Ah yes that will be for me :-( wonder if an engine change will devalue the car? Current cost is calculated at £2,657.00 I think I'll replace the rear tyres at the same time so that will be another £200. LAso I need to speak to BG Motorsport about the dampers

Yep this is definitely going to be pricey. For Dan: Hi Ian, list is as follows; 2x front tyres below legal limit Front wipers perished Rear wiper blade perished NSR spring broken Front discs pitted Rear discs rusty over 50% of surface Big end knock on engine (as discussed) Rear exhaust...

Uh oh. Just had Dan on the phone. May have bottom end failure, could well mean a new engine. This could be expensive, ah yes disks also need replacing. .....bugger.

Ha, I did take the liberty of lifting the bonnet, but it would appear that currently there is nothing to pinch :wink:

Thanks both for the advice really useful! I'll have a chat with Dan. I've also dug out a photos I took a while back when the car was up on a ramp, and it appears it is on the right springs (as far as the rear is concerned) but on Koni dampers. I'll looking at this pictures again I think I'll...

If this is still a few months away I would like to join the order as well please.

Not Quite Bristol as I'm between Taunton & Bridgwater, but do work in Bristol quite a bit.

When I bought it off the last owner I asked him to MOT it pre sale as there was not long left and the front dampers looked like they where leaking. It wound up failing its MOT so had to be put onto Cup items to get it through, which it is still on. I've been reading up on here about how t go...

Thanks! Initial intent has been to prep it fore sale, however since getting back into reading this forum I've started thinking about investing in the car. I still have the original Sachs Dampers in my shed (along with its interior as it currently has FF) and realised that I've never driver the...

For some reason I lost my enthusiasm with cars over the last couple of years , probably a result of moving to the SW and spending all the time concentrating my time and money on renovating a house. As a result I SORN'd my Trophy while I decided what to do with it. I've now decided to get it...

Great advice Pete, I've just tried that and found stuff about mine I did not know.

The DVLA, now gives full MOT history if you have the make of car and vehicle registration number. https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history

Never really stopped to think about the age group that buys a Trophy, surprised by the results.

#346 - just turned 38.

Thanks for all the responses, car is going into SJM today, so fingers crossed.

Hi all. It looks like my alternator has died (STOP warning & Battery warning on the dash) which has been verified by the AA. Last time I go the car serviced at K-Tech racing, but that bight be a bit far to drive the car, as I live just outside Bridgwater in Somerset. Does anyone know any good...

Steve, Thanks for sorting these out, look forward to receiving min next week.

Red key ring looks really good.

Hello Joe! Just registered on here, look forward to picking the car up at the weekend. Ian.
