Did this make reserve? Sold quite low!

To clarify point #1 - the solid light NEVER extinguishes

Hi all I've just gone through the pain of swapping the gearbox on my Trophy. The thing now won't start. It cranks for a few seconds on most tries of the key (sometimes you get nothing, but most times you get a few seconds) but never fires. It ran fine before the work started. The work has...

Anyone got reasoning as to why such a massive jump from Sept to Oct and Oct to Nov? I'm happy about it as an owner, but suspicious of it too... bubble? Flash in the pan?

I run the Koni's and love them. They feel OWM+ and work well with my de-pinned fronts on trackdays.

Whereabouts are you? In need of one but £13 seems a bit steep for postage!

Yep standard. Maybe it had a larger owner at one point...

Hi all I made a bit of a nasty discovery on the Trophy this weekend and was wondering if anyone else seen similar. The monocoque where the outer rear seat mount for the driver's seat locates has fatigued and failed. (confusing sentence that one!) I noticed that the driver's seat was slightly on...

I'll take them please :)

Done

I've just replaced the fronts on mine and have a spare set for sale now. They came off the car at 120k, but they have definitely been refurbed in the past. They are de-pinned and the rods look brand new. Definitely need another refurb before being fitted, but they'll be up for sale on this site...

I have one too, but couldn't get it to work! It drained my battery if I left it connected. Would be interested to know what wires you cut on the adaptor Also depends on the headunit.

Or drill it out? It seems some of the old dust covers (I have total of 4) go as far as the circlip; others dont get past the threaded section

It doesn't seem like the shaft actually fits through the rubber bump stop on the top of the dust cover... Do I just need to push harder?!

In!

This is getting silly now... So I have the correct circlip. I have all the correct bushes and spacers. I have retrieved the bump stops and dust covers from the originals. I try to assemble as per the instruction sheet... The dust cover simply will not go over the circlip as the sheet...

Are these the ET for a standard 182 or for the trophy?

Ah ok. Think that is missing then! I'll add one and see what happens! Thanks!

So massive thanks to Mark for supplying the missing bush! Fitted them, but something is definitely askew! Drivers side seated, tightened and all looks good. Passenger side... well... see attached. Been scratching my head trying to figure out what on earth went wrong. Remove, refitted, checked...

I can confirm they are not

Thanks for the tip @BenG !

Thanks both! I'll give it a go!

Hi all I was wondering if anyone had any tips on de-pinning the sachs dampers DIY style? From what I can see there is a grub screw holding the adjuster knob in place, and a pin drilled in to the top. So... remove the grub screw, remove the adjuster, remove the pin, put it back together again...

PM sent!

Thanks both, set ordered. Due tomorrow. I worry about this car's maintenance history sometimes!

Hi all I've come to swapping out some rear discs and pads, and can't get the new disc to seat enough to bolt the carrier back on. The pads are hard up against the OUTSIDE of the disc with space between the inside pad and piston (wound all the way back). The issue seems to be a split...

Awesome! Thanks for the reply! Exactly what I needed!

Hi all My Trophy came with a spare pair of Koni rear dampers which are obviously used, but seem in fair enough condition. I want to go about fitting them in the next week or so, but have realised that they are slightly different to eachother and wanted to get the group's thoughts on how to move...

Are these not standard? Mine has these and just assumed they were OEM fitment!
