Hi guys, my car has picked up a fault. I have the ABS sensor and traction control light on. The issue is that it revs itself when sat at juntions. I sound like a right knob! the throttle just keeps picking up revving between 1500 and 2000 rpm.
anyone had this before?
I would like to change out my clocks because the previous owner put yellow dials in. I am assuming that the mileage on my car is stored in the ECU and not the clock itself. Does anyone know if that is true? or do I need to find clocks with mileage as close to mine as possible?
Check out my new T-Shirt from Artomotive. They do custom pictures of your car so asked them to have a crack at a T-Shirt.

Hi,
My Clio has just failed its MOT due to a missing CAT. not really a surprise, and not really sure how I missed it!
The car has a PMS system which has been decatted. Has anyone else got a PMS system and had similar issues? do you guys just buy the Cat they sell and fit it for MOTs?
I assume...
the reason they are hard to replicate is to do with the tapered thickness in the spring. It’s there for two reasons, firstly to so you don’t get spring bind and secondly to create a non-linear response. I had a Mark Fish spring tested today, they can be replicated, the tapered thickness makes...
Hi Guys, Still not having any luck here just wanted to flag this up to see if anyone had any?
YB Racing don't sell the springs anymore. I have spoken with Mark Fish and he has been unable to help.
If I can get the springs to copy I can get Faulkner to make genuine ones up, they will always...
Hi Guys,
I have a whiteline anti roll bar kit for sale. Freshly powder coated anti roll bar and zinc plated hangers.
I am missing one drop link.
offers welcome before I stick it on eBay
Ive owned a 205 GTI, Clio Williams and Trophy 243.
Im not sure why the Williams is as revered as it is. The 205 GTI is more immersive, the Trophy better handling and engine. That being said the Williams was great to drive.
Be careful though, I paid 1800 quid for mine and it was barely worth...
Hi Guys,
Does anyone have any old springs they aren't using? Must be genuine.
I am going to get a set made up, been chatting to a couple of firms that have done this before for me on other cars. I have the correct spring rates but not the dimension of the spring. Mine has lowering springs on...
Seen a few sets for sale in France. They talk about having 60mm spacers. Is this correct shock for the Trophy? seen a few threads on this but couldn't work out what the answer was?
Yep! its true! I sent them off to BG Motorsport for refurbishing and Hermes have kindly lost them.
In the short term I am going to put some cup dampers on the car. Longer term I need to get some New Sachs dampers on it
So the questions are:
1. How much am I going to have to pay for a pair of...
having the old springs powder coated will reduce the corrosion issue, but doesn't address the fact that springs soften over time. If they have been on the car for more than 5 years it is likely they won't be producing the same spring rate as they did out of the factory. I would replace rather...
Took the front suspension off this weekend and discovered that someone had fitted the top mounts upside down!
Car clearly has the wrong springs on it and I think a refurb is in order. So will be booking them in with BG motorsport.
Going to create a separate thread to detail the refurb, will...
Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm going to take it apart this weekend.
Definitely something wrong with the handling of this car so will be doing a full refurb of all suspension components, shocks and springs. Will be leaving the strut brace off. Would rather keep it OEM. Plus its not going on...
Hi Guys,
Recently purchased number 243. Starting to go through and remove some of the more dubious additions (flocked dash included) to bring the car back to standard.
Have just been looking at the front strut brace which I intend to remove and noticed that the front shocks don’t appear to be...
