I have got a halfords touch up kit, specifically made for the Trophy's "capsicum" red paint. I have used this once to touch up a microscopic mark on my car, but now that i have sold it i still have this left over. Cost a tenner from Halfords, only after a fiver for it now! Anyone need it...

Typically, just as my car goes out of warranty, the alternator packs up! I have looked at euro car parts and they want a criminal £223 quid for a new one. Does anyone know a good place to get a reconditioned one, or has anyone got a spare they would like to sell? Also, is the alternator from...

I have just received this month's copy of Performance Car magazine and there is a little review of the Trophy vs the a 197 cup! :D check it out (it should hit the shelves of WH Smiths in the next few days i guess). I would scan a copy but i don't have a scanner or the know how to put it on...

At 194mph! (not on the road of course - at bruntingthorpe) You know a car is fast when it gets the traction control light flashing when you change into 4th gear at 130mph... With my job i have experienced extremely fast cars all the time, but have never had a real chance at a high speed run...

Right, had a bit of an accident involving a 5 litre bottle of Comma's finest 5w/40 motorsport oil emptying itself into the boot of my car. Bugger. After trying to soak it up with rags and driving around for a few weeks with a permanent headache i have spent several hours using every detergent...

So i took my trophy to the ring this weekend to give it a bit of a shoeing! It was really good all round, i go over to the ring quite often and am getting to the point where i know my way about now so i could really stretch it's legs and embarrass some more powerful and exotic machinery -...

I don't know if i am alone on this, but it strikes me after a week into the ownership of my Trophy that it has a ridiculous amount of squeaks, rattles and squeaky rattles! The problem is probably emphasized by the fact that i am driving around in "silence" whilst i wait for a stereo code, but...

I can't seem to stop running into issues with my car this week. Right, successfully swapped the stalk without too much hassle. Then reconnected the battery and the stereo asked for a code... which it appears i dont have anyway in any of the 5 or so books, guides and manuals that renault...

Why do i always do these things at such bad times! Decided to "quickly" do the wiper stalk conversion to my trophy as it is raining and the stalk arrived this morning. I have searched the forum, printed off the guide but despite half an hour of wrestling i just can't get the cowling from under...

I am buying some new PE2's for the front of my car and have found some decently priced ones on black circles. Now, they have both "v" rated and "w" rated tyres on there - and there is only a quid difference in price. Which should i go for? Thanks for your help! James

I have had a quick search and can't find any details about how i can get one of these window stickers for number 264! Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Hello! Just a quick hello, i have just bought Trophy number 264. No doubt i will be picking your brains and asking all kinds of questions in the coming weeks as i get to know the car. my first challenge is to replace the dog sh1t, misery spec front tyres that the previous owner decided in his...
