Hi all, When driving my clio 182 recently iv noticed that the clutch has become very rough to push down. Not smoove at all. I thought nothing of it at first but its been going on for a little while so i thought id check out what the problem was. I had someone sit in the car and push the clutch...

Hi all, Can't quite believe i am doing this, but 007 and i will very very sadly have to part company. Reason being that the Mrs and i are saving for a new house, she has sold her Mini and is saving like mad and truth be told me keeping a 2.0 hot hatch isn't going down all that well. I also have...

Hi Guys No 142 is 5 years old in August, as you will all be aware, it is due the cam belt service :( Few questions - I had the aux belt changed in October 2008 (car was on just under 36k) The car is now on 48700 ish so will not reach 72k before the 5 year cam belt change. When does the aux...

Hi All, Have just registered on the site and thought i'd introduce myself. I don't have a Trophy just yet but I'm looking to get one in the next few months. I'm currently driving a JDM FD2 Honda Civic Type R which I imported approx 18 months ago. The car's an absolute cracker but unfortunately...

Alright folks, I intend on replacing the coolant in the next month and just asking the best way to do it. On my old fiesta i just made a big mess by pulling off the hose at the bottom of the rad, and refilled slowly on flat ground. Without a haynes for this car i don't know if there are any...

Yo I've just booked my car in for its 36k at Angelworks in St Neots. It's being done next month. I've also ordered some bits and bobs to be fitted at the same time - the standard brake upgrade package of Brembo HCs, DS2500s and braided lines. Got that lot for £250 delivered from K-Tec...

Hi guys, 1st post so go easy. Im currently in the middle of stripping my supercharged fiesta st to fund a trophy and to pay my loan off. If i can ask for some advise from you guys that would be great. Mainly in terms of what i should be looking for, i.e, comman problems etc etc. Many thanks...

after spending £100 last year on better gear, moving to meguirs, i've now discovered the internet's detailing world and spent another £100 on more clobber that you can't buy in Halfords! Bad on my finances but the T will benefit tremendously! Meguiars Lambswool Wash Mitt Eurow - Shag Pile...

Worth £10.99?? If you like them just a word of warning, they do not leave much room at all to get the tool in to remove them and in atempting to remove 3 as a test I broke one. So my advice would be if you swap wheels alot you'll probably ruin quite a few and need to buy more quite soon...

What is the latest thinking on this for the T? I'm currently looking for a set of wheels and tyres to use on the track (not for the road at all), my starter for 10 is: 16" rims and R888's but is that the best option?? Also, related to the track, what tyre pressures do people think work best...

Am wanting to spend a day on 007 in the next few weeks, a kind of 'spring clean' that i put all of my car through in Feb/March, especially now the roads seem a bit tidier after all the kacky weather. I valeted professionally for 6 years, but that was about 5 years ago now so i am a bit out of...

Am looking to clean 007s rocker cover a bit as sometimes, especially with this weather it looks a bit grimy. Engine degreasers only degrease, not clean so wondered if anyone had any hints this side of taking a dremel to it... Cheers

Ok, there's good news and bad news. I'll start with the good, so I can delay the inevitable lol. I LOVE these tyres. I fitted them at the beginning of December. I've used them through snow, ice, rain, you name it. They start well from cold for a track tyre. A bit of wheel spin in snow and ice...

Just wondered who could point me in the right direction for the best insurance deals on a Trophy at the moment. 35-year old, no track use, 12 years no claims so should get a half decent deal. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Specialist insurance brokers? :D
