Hello All
I have a 182 Trophy that has a faulty alternator. It’s a Valeo 110A unit. I’m told by my local dealership that this is not available as an exchange unit and quoted £394 plus Vat for a new one which will have to come from France. Can anyone recommend another unit that will work reliably?
I’ve had problems with my alarm over the past month or so following the fitting of a new tracker. Consiquently resulting in the battery running flat. After fitting a new battery - suspect the alarm problem may have been voltage drop on old battery - the car won’t start. When the key is turned...
I wonder if anybody can help me? The engine in my Trophy sounds rough on tickover and when cold occasionally the engine warning light flickers or appears on the dash for a few moments. I've had the engine checked on a diagnostic - specifically the injectors - and it appears to be running fine...

I took the trophy out for a hoon on Saturday around the snotty/greasy lanes of Suffolk. The speed that the car carried through corners and the poise/body control really surprised me. Each time I drive one of these little cars I it delivers a level of engagement and reward that only the very best...
I've just fitted the speedline corse wheels and Toyo R888 tyres. The sticky compound combined with the higher sidewall provides more grip combined with more feel and progression as you reach 10/10ths. This makes things easier on the track also. For me, it makes a very good car even better...
Picked the car up from CTR Motorsport yesterday and dropped it off at the paint shop. It is still running on it's old tyres but even so, the chassis had a decent balance and the brakes were very adiquate for occasional track use - we are using the same fluid that we run in the 997 Cup car. Set...
A brief update. The car is in build currently and will go to the paint shop for tidying shortly. Dampers have been rebuilt by BG motorsport and un pinned. New rear dampers are fitted with new but standard rear discs and pads. Pure motorsport stainless racing exhaust system with cat back and de...
Hi eveybody.
I am currently having my front dampers refurbed at BG and aparently there is a nylon/rubber top seal missing on one of them. They tell me that they are no longer a part that is offered by Spax.
Does anybody know of a source for replacement?
