    Trophy Broken into.

    I went for a 360 Health Test today at Nuffield in Manchester. When I left I walked up to my car and saw this ..... As you can see they went for the glove box. I'm sure they were looking for my Sat-Nav, there was nothing of any value in my glovebox and nothing was taken from the car...

    Standard air box query??

    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 :(

    Grinding/shuddering when going uphill

    Hi guys Just wondered if anyone had experienced this before. If you imagine a multi-storey car park, and the 'spirals' you have to drive up in order to go up levels; I have noticed that I experience quite a loud and profound grinding noise when driving up these. The steering wheel also tends to...

    Good Wheel Alignment place near Sheffield

    I'm looking for a good wheel alignment place near Sheffield, I wouldn't mind driving as far as Leeds / Nottingham and anywhere in between. I need them to fit the camber bolts as well since the last place I went to didn't have a clue. Hunter equipment would be best so I'm told. Many thanks Rick

    Scorpion RS192

    For Sale. Scorpion RS192 Exhaust System (Cat Back). The system has been fitted to my Trophy from new for 2 years (approx. 10,000 miles). The centre section is 6 months old as it was replaced under warranty. Very good fitment, however, the centre section/back box join is a tight fit as this is...

    HT Leads / Ignition Leads

    Hi After having some trouble with a misfire, I took my car to a garage and had the whole ignition system changed. It turns out they didn't replace the HT leads like for like and the ones I have now, though working fine, are quite a loose fit. My question is, should I replace these with the...

    Rattly top end

    My trophy has done 76000 miles and has a full history. It has a tappety/rattly top end which is more noticeable now the weathers warm and i have the windows down, the noise is more noticeable on the over run when driving along narrow streets because the sound bounces off the walls. The de-phaser...

    My Trophy's exhaust back boxes are finally on their last legs and so the selection of an aftermarket cat back system begins... So the initial search led me to the KTR Ultra performance system, which has a 2.5 inch bore from cat back. A bit more research led me to the understanding that the...

    Wow - a week on the German Autobahns.

    Well even after nearly 6 years of ownership this little pocket rocket still surprises me. I know how quick it is on a B road, but in a straight line i always thought it slightly underpowered to take on the great and good of Germany's finest but boy was I wrong. 100 octane racing fuel on board...
