dent

A mate of mine here (a garage owner) just asked me to see if I could find him a cheaper price in blighty for a 2009 Honda Civic diesel particle filter........5000 (yes three zeros) euros!!! The best I could find was 4100 quid :eek: Never was an oil burner fan but this convinces me it's never...

Watching this just makes me cringe, the shot through into the mint engine bay that pans out to a smashed exterior is pretty gratuitous. http://youtu.be/wN0J0e6iZpg

Spotted this beast today, amazing to think it is almost 20years old.

I don't have the aptitude, tools, inclination or time to fit a set of rear Konis myself so... Do I engage the services of my local independent garage where the mechanic was VAG-trained and looked after my VW for 8 years? Or do I take #455 to the nearest RS specialist, which I guess would be...

Forza Motorsport 4 week has arrived. As i've played F3 SO much, the only downer for me could be the lack of new tracks. Rivals Mode looks like it's going to be huge fun. Trailer voiced by Clarkson; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvimE0aNFOg

Double points if you spot 304 between Friday morning and Monay pm between Psmouth and Oxford - I'm over, just for a long weekend :-)

So I was driving home on my lunch break, nothing out of the ordinary, came off a roundabout and went to merge in, when all of a sudden some white van man quite some distance backl decides to floor it and undertake me whilst flashing his lights beeping and gesturing quite angrily towards me! So...

Here is before and after, A big thank you to FunkyMunky,Jamie and Mark and everyone who helped and posted. As you can see the forum works!

Unfortunately, the time has come where I can't put this off any longer, it is with great regret that I am offering my Trophy up for sale. I need a 5 door car, as running my 16 month old daughter around in the back is just not practical, and with a long term back injury, I find it painful...

Can anyone recommend a RS service garage in Cornwall? Pref near St Albans. Small independent is fine. Thanks

Hi there. For sale is my Dads Jaguar XJ 1999 (T - Reg) Jaguar XJ 3.2 Sport Current mileage is 122,000 The engine was replaced 12,000 miles ago due timing chain snapping. The replacement engine is from an early 2001 model which had covered 62,000 miles, post mid-2000 engines have the better...

Firstly, a 182 Milltek exhaust. There is a dent in one of the boxes on the centre section but no blows or leaks. Will clean up like new. Please note the bad hanging is because the car was knackered, not the exhaust. £275 Collected Then a KTR 182 Sports cat. Had originally planned on fitting...

The standard air box seems to have two inlets for air. One with a cold air feed pipe that disappears somewhere underneath the nearside headlamp and another inlet without any cold air feed. Is this right ? Still having trouble with my T :(

I'm based in Berkshire and I want to upgrade from 2 to 3 stars so I'm after some guidance on buying a used Trophy. When you bought your used Trophy did you get a professional independent inspection carried out? If so, who did you use & would you rate their service? If not, what did you check...

While rumagine about underneath the car this evening i noticed a curious dent in the downpipe just above the anti roll bar...the bar appears to be able to fit perfectly into this dent.....seems too much of a coincidence to me!!!!! Has some twat of a mechanic in the car's history lifted the roll...

Spotted on Tuesday morning around 8am at Spaldwick just off the A14. Was too excited to wave or flash and my car share thought I was a bit mental. Will be doing that route myself daily when I get my Trophy. There are some cracking corners on the way down to Kimbolton and the B660 & B645.

I have recently noticed that the ps3 Michelins have gone from camskill!?! I am just seeing if anyone has any idea why and where else other than camskill are the up at a reasonble price? Does anybody know how much they come to at Costco for two fitted and balanced etc Whilst on the subject of...

I have for sale a nice white 16v on a K plate, so actually phase 1.5 but close enough. I have just done the cambelt, clutch, waterpump, thermostat, oil/filter, gearbox oil, pas fluid, sparkplugs, airfilter, coolant inc flush and new header. Mot'd last weekend so has 12 months MOT on it. No...

Hi all I had a quick search but couldn't find what I was looking for, so excuse the new thread. Is there a recommended set of milestones for services (minor and major)? My Trophy is sitting at just under 41,000 and the previous owner advised me to get her serviced next at around 45k...

Spotted today at about 12.30. Parked up on the street outside what looked like a local independent petrol station. Reg was Y1 *** Any takers?

Hello one and all, Been looking into buying a Clio Trophy. Was just wondering what you guys recommend checking outside of the obvious when looking at Trophy's. I know the dampers may need refreshing. How do you know if they do? Are there any tell tale signs? Any help would be appreciated. Does...

Hi, Well it that time where I have to get the belts (timimg etc)done... what belts get done and how much does it normally cost.. Renault are quoting £658. Does that sound resonable or should i look around. regards, jsthomson

I noticed my exhaust was blowing so went under the car to check it out and felt alot of air blowing from where the mid section of the exhaust joins the Cat, I thought it was blowing from the clamp at first and after renewing it and fitting it several times I eventually found out it wasn't the...

I have an issue with my trophy's suspension set up. I adore the sash dampers they are very well build and have a good amount of adjustability but are lacking adjustable spring seat platforms. I feel when the car is on track it needs to be lower at the front and the back but mostly the back. My...

my trophy is now due a major service due to age not millage. Renault say either 72,000 miles or 5 years wot ever comes sooner. my trophy only has 13,500 miles and Renault are saying i need a major service ! i personally think spending over £1000 for a major service for a car with only 13,500...

Hey guys, Just wondering if you have any experience of having your paint chips removed with either a scratch/chip removal service or even a DIY kit? I've been thinking about getting a few done on my car and just wanted to know your thoughts on these companies that claim they can make it as...
