    Permaguard?

    Want to keep the Trophy looking good. Think my car's had permagaurd recently applied to it (only had the car a couple of weeks). Anyone else had this done? How often do you need to do it? Any other tips for keeping it tip top? Thanks, Karl.

    NEW PADS?

    My car needs a new set of front pads. I've decided on buying Ferodo DS2500's but everywhere I look the prices seem so largely different. The best price I have found so far is £99.98 for the pair. Does anyone know of any company that sells them cheaper or is this the best I'm really likely...

    Trophy running sluggish

    My Trophy has developed a subtle engine fault over the last couple of months. There is a distinct missfire at 2500 RPM (in neutral) and has become a little sluggish under acceleration, especially from lower revs. It sounds rough too. I have also noticed a rumble, in tick-over, from the cambelt...
