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...
Hi there. For sale is my Dads Jaguar XJ

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...
Left work at usual time yesterday and the Trophy just did not seem 'right' to drive.
Have checked dampers and all seem ok - rear replaced within the last 3 months. MOT also passed early part of July with no advisories so imagine they would have spotted any major 'wear'. Car seems very light...
anyone got a spare wheel for sale? 16" would be good =) i dont really like the idea of foam wrecking a repairable tyre, so i'll have a spare in the boot with the netting over it
price? cheers

Trophy was handling like a bag of crap, noticed a bouncy damper so had it rebuilt at BG a few weeks ago.
Also the exalto's on the front had come to their usable end so replaced them with the Pilot Sport 3's.
Anyway, Trophy's feeling a bit weird in some corners, i cant really describe it, its...

I may need to deliver a pair of tyres within the UK.
Just wondering whether anyone had done this and whether they used the Post Office or a courier and what the cost of either might be.
In the case of a courier, do they come to collect the item from you or do you need to take it to a depot?
Thanks.

I finally got round to swapping my alloys over so these are for sale. They're not great condition so I've priced them accordingly (I hope).
Tyres are legal but...
Just a quickie. I do not seem to have any of these lovely aerosols in the Trophy.
Do I have to get special Renault ones or is there a better option? Preferably not "Get a spare :lol: "
Over the last 3/4 weeks I've been having a handling problem with the Trophy. Everything felt fine until I entered a left hand bend and I would turn the wheel but instead of turning in sharply the car would take a very wide path no matter how much I turned the wheel.
I checked the tyre pressures...
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...
Bit of help needed deciding on what tyres to buy. They'll be for track use only, pretty much exclusively Anglesey and Oulton Park, and shod on R15 5.5" steelies - don't know if that would need any consideration with sidewall stiffness? Car won't be caged and will be driven to and from the...
Been offered some, only 3 months old with PE2 tires wheels have done less than 1k.
£600 recon it's worth it?
As I'm needing new tire soon and I am needing to drop mine off at wheel repair centre again as the lacquer has small cracks appearing.
Plus I have always liked the 2118
I've recently had my dampers re-furbished with BG Motorsport and had them fitted earlier this week. I know the ride is firm, but I certainly don't remember it being this harsh; I can feel even the tiniest of bumps in the road and it's bone shaking to say the least.
Another thing I've noticed...

Good to meet you all today, and have a good poke around some lovely cars! Now want a V6. Glad the lovely Welsh weather held out :lol: despite the conditions the camera held out and managed to a fair few snaps which can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulduddle ... 076669757/

Im in need of 2 new tyres
Firstly - wheres the best place (cheapest) to get michelin pe2's or ps3's from (or other recommendations?)
Secondly, does it matter that much if i use say ps3's on the front and pe2's on the back, probably doesnt just i will have my OCD glasses and will be thinking...
OK, so last night i got the Geo done by a mates garage. Yes, they are a bodyshop, but when you are the authorised repairer for Lotus, Aston, Ferrari, Lamborghini & Pagani, you probably know how to set up a clio lol ...
So, effectively, since we fitted the front suspension, the Toe has been out...
Hi, just bought 426, and pretty sure the drivers shock needs refurbing, bit of bounce and very crashy. will get refurbed, but my question is, I need to use the car (looking for number 2 vehicle at the mo) am I ok to use the trophy in the meantime? Or will this further add to the shock damage and...
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...
Anyone tried Federal 595 RS-R's : semi slicks like R888's - they are significantly cheaper than Toyo's and seem to get good write up's elsewhere. I'm need a new set of track only rubber (was on 888's) and might try them ????
Just got myself a Trophy which has the Mark fish springs and koni rear shocks. Have played around with the settings on the shocks and as recommended elsewhere on here have set the rears at 1 and a quarter off full soft and the fronts at 22 clicks. I do a lot of road miles and am finding the...
Handling been shot lately and checked the tyres, 1 was on 7mm and the other on 2mm! Long story but had a puncture on the other 7mm and have been running a spare for a few months.
Just got back from a local garage who fitted a new PS3 and did the allignment and filled the tyres with Nitrogen...
