    Jethro Bovingdon _ Collecting Cars Podcast

    Listened to the new Chris Harris 'Collecting Cars' Podcast with Jethro Bovingdon and he mentioned he now has a Trophy... I wonder which number ? If you haven't listened to these podcasts they are well worth a listen

    172 cup only 17,000 miles !

    It's a shame that such a great driver's car doesn't get driven.

    Help!

    Try and check the starter motor connector. It's a bit fiddly to get to, but if the manifold is cold you should be able to put your hand down the back of the manifold. Mine was loose a while ago and that solved it.

    Tyre conundrum

    In the Summer I replaced all 4 tyres with Federal 595 RS-R. Very pleased with them so far, giving plenty of grip,although probably not the best for Winter.

    Sachs for sale

    I have a set of front Sachs, not sure of the history as they came with the car. They look in good condition and any rust looks to be surface. I would probably rebuild before fitting them, £400 collected from Shrewsbury would post at cost. Viewing is available if necessary.

    Trophy doesn't drive as good as I though it would!

    The Trophy has had many plaudits since it's launch. If it not to your liking perhaps it might be a good idea to have a qualified mechanic inspect it.

    Sachs

    I have an incomplete sets of Sachs i.e. no gaitors, bump rubbers or springs & was wondering what they are worth? I don't know when they were last refurbished but look in okay condition.

    Tyrres !!

    I will need a couple of new front tyres soon and with the PS3's not being readily available now I wonder if anyone else is running 'mixed' tyres and what works best, another option would be to replace all 4 and perhaps sell/keep the rears.

    Washer Blanks

    Thanks I will give them a ring.

    Car numbers 285 and 422 for sale.

    It's not very often that someone can view 2 Trophy's at once. They both look good cars and I'm sure they won't be for sale very long.

    Washer Blanks

    I was wondering if anyone has a washer blank (offside) or where I can get one from which isn't a too expensive. I know Renault do them but they are ridiculously expensive.... Thanks.
