Currently stood at Sainsburys waiting for the wife to arrive with the spare key [emoji2359]
I’ll be paying for that later!
Any way to stop them auto locking?

About 2 years ago I got my hands on a set of unused original rear shocks and put them straight on the car. Over the weekend one has started to leak quite a lot of fluid.
I don’t fancy my chances of finding one at a reasonable price so was thinking of either putting the Koni adjustables or the...
Has anyone experienced a creaky feeling in the gear lever when changing from 1st to 2nd and back? Seems to have appeared in the warmer weather.
Maybe some sort of bushes have perished?

Here’s the link if anyone is interested in driving around Silverstone with the kids:

Llandow have added another Saturday in August (8th) if anyone is interested?
I’m booked in on the 22nd August if anyone else is going?

I think this is a seat position sensor but I’m not 100% sure. It was loose having come away from the screw holding it, didn’t seem to flag any warning lights. I’ve glued the pieces back together but if It doesn’t work will I need to replace it? Looks like a new one would have to be spliced today...
Just before the lockdown the battery and “stop” light came on. There are no error codes recorded. On the journey home the lights appeared to go off under harder acceleration. They’re now on when I start the car. With both illuminated the manual says that the battery is either over or under...
Quick question... #444 has just failed its MOT because the nuts on the top of the front struts are not “a locking type”. It’s been to the same place since I had it and they’ve never picked up on this before. No idea if I’m being jerked around.
I’m guessing that the Trophy nuts are a larger...
Interesting comparison with the Racing Puma is issue 262. Trophy just about pips it. I wouldn’t mind a go in a Racing Puma though!

Having had all the belts etc done last year the power steering pump looks like it’s on it’s way out. The pulley looks like it has a slight wobble.
Are there any jobs I should have done “while they’re in there”? Water pump was done with the belts last year.

I’ve been having problems using a Tapatalk to access the forum. I find it useful as they host images that I post. They have got back to me with the following:
“The forum you are trying to reach does not have a working Tapatalk plugin running, hence causing the issue. We’ll contact the forum...
Is anyone else having problems logging into this forum using a Tapatalk? I keep getting a message saying that the password is wrong but it the same bloody password I’m using to log on here!
Anyone else bought this? Incredible quality and real in depth articles. Great pieces on Lewis Hamilton and Colin Chapman.
High quality quarterly magazines like this may save the industry in my opinion.

Don’t know the number but it’s reasonably priced by the looks of it.

Just thought I’d mention that a local charity is organising a car show at Mamhilad Business Park on the 29th July. It’s in between Newport and Abergavenny (link below to Facebook page). I’ll be there but it’d be nice to have a couple other Trophies representing...
Has anyone used a company to repair an open crack in the leather? I have a 10cm open crack on the driver side lower bolster nearest to the door. I’m struggling to find anyone around South Wales to do a mobile repair.
I’m undecided whether to get a repair or have the bolster reupholstered. It...
Done my first track day in the Trophy today. Can’t fault the car save for one thing... the way the steering wheel is tilted away from you. Is there anything available to change the angle?

I'm looking at getting a steel wheel to run as a spare in the boot. Can anyone tell me if this is the correct size as a direct replacement?

Wheel size: 5,50Jx16
PCD: 4x100
Offset: 45.00
Central Bore: 56.1
I’ve booked a place at Llandow on Friday 15th June (£100 for the day). There’s still some availability if any other trophy owners are interested.

How to you get this fuel rail guard off? I purchased some longer length sockets but they still won’t get to the nut! Is there a special tool for the job? I can’t see any reason why the sockets shouldn’t reach or fit around the nut.

Has anyone come across this company in France selling new Sachs dampers for the Clio Trophy?

They told me that they are an "original product" but I'm no expert. The images seem to be of the real thing...
Has anyone attempted to change the belts, pulleys etc themselves? Looks like a pain in the backside to me. I don’t mind a little DIY but am a little apprehensive. Anyone tried it?
I’ve had some quotes between £650 and £850 (with parts) so there’s money to be saved but is it worth doing it...
I’m pretty sure I spotted a Trophy heading down from Croesyrceiliog down to Cwmbran on the A4042 at 14:40. Didn’t have chance to get the reg.

Hi all! The kids are finally starting school so no more nursery bills. Now i need to spend my spare cash on a Trophy!
It would be a third car so I'm not as concerned about mileage as someone who would use it every day. What I need is a well cared for example that won't need much work...
