    Harry Metcalfe driving the ultimate road going Zonda

    HM driving the road going version of the Zonda R, the 760RS. At £1.6 mil they aren't cheap. One customer bought two of them. It's amazing what Pagani have achieved in the Supercar World with their first car. Epic engine. Epic noise. Epic car. Epic video...

    Fix it, engine refurb or give up....?

    Hi Guys, My Trophy is not well. Had it since new with all required servicing and I was just arranging its 72k service when I noticed a new clicking sound coming from the engine. It is most obvious at more than 2500rpm, but can also be heard at idle. It changes (speeds up) based upon engine...

    Taking the plunge

    Hi all, I'm a long time lurker on here, but have never posted anything. Having read the first Trophy reviews years and years ago, I knew I had to have one. A combination of uni, city living, finances and getting married have all slowed down the process. Until now. Money went down on a new T...

    Funny Noise

    Guys, When accelerating, there is a rattle, alomost like a heat sheild rattling when putting the foot down. However when checking under the car, all heat shields are all ok, (I think) but I dont know where else to look? I have a Milltek Cat-back on it, and not sure if its the joinings? It...

    Normal or not normal????????

    I can hear a "tap tap tap" coming from the engine bay of my Trophy when at idle. Also the idle is quite lumpy and uneven. The tapping is actually louder from inside the car than the outside even with the bonnet open. The taps increase with the revs up to say 1500/2000 but then I cant hear...

    Ktec top mount saga continues...

    Well, after getting loud donging noises when maneuvering, and people on here saying the top mounts would cause it, the garage I use also confirmed this. Ktec said to use engine oil to lubricate the top mounts last week, which i did, from within the engine bay, but it made no difference. I was...

    a productive sunday afternoon...

    So, some of you may or may not know that i decided to decat my Trophy, and also remove the rear seats and fit harnesses! Sounded amazing but was honestly far far to loud for general use and especially on the motorways! And seeing as it’s a daily car I thought I’d do some soundproofing! So I...

    Strange noise

    Hi guys Just wondering if any of you have experienced this with your T. This video is taken whilst stationary and the noise seems to be coming from the left hand side of the car. It usually starts to happen once the car has warmed up and can be heard most noticeably when parking, travelling at...

    Issue with Lower Balljoint bolts

    They keep coming undone! I tightened them coz i was getting a knocking noise, which solved it, now the noise is slowly returning. The joints are new, as are the nuts and bolts, but the nyloc-ing bit isn't doing it's job. Does anyone know the torque required to tighten these? I'm going to buy new...

    Creaking suspension noise from drivers side sachs damper

    My trophy's recently started making a creaking noise which looks to be coming from the drivers side suspension. You can hear it when driving over any slight bumps in the road and especially over speed bump. Also today noticed what must be a slow puncture as the pressure on this tyre was down to...
