Due to a bit of financial strain and the car not getting used much ive decided to let her go. You all know the score with a Trophy in regards to what spec they have so below is some finer details.
MOT due August 2017
Current Mileage approx 123,900
HPI Clear (but feel free to check this...
So, it turns out the Clio wouldn't fire up because Ive bent 8 valves due to a belt slip (or at least it looks like a belt slip)
My mechanic is on the job and starting to get things in motion. He's trying to do the job as cheap as possible for me so wanted to ask around at what the going rate...
Hey up fellas!
Ive parted with some of the queens greatest pound coins and purchased some Gtechniq C4 Permanent Trim Restorer after reading the reviews of it.
I thought it might be easier to remove the front grille and do it indoors rather than doing it on the driveway so my question is...
Im in two minds at the minute as to whether Trophy ownership is for me. I love the car and its a great weekend release after driving the slow derv all week but im not sure if I can keep up with the maintenance/general costs of owning two cars.
What id like peoples opinion on is if I sell...
It appears my Aux belt is due to be changed and Cambelt is due next year so it makes sense to do it all at one in my opinion.
Is this everything I need?
Aux Belt...
So, I decided to have something done last week for a bit of a laugh, I have all the contacts required so thought 'why not' lol
I can offer these at £12 inc P&P and they will come with your Trophys number, obviously not 113 as thats mine :)
You can also have it as a keyring at no extra charge...
After numerous changed parts (plugs, leads, coil pack, CAT) the T is still throwing up 'Destructive Misfire'.
It runs fine under load now that 2 injectors have been replaced (Number 1 & 3 as instructed by the code reader) but has a rough idle.
Any ideas?
Only had the car since September but...
As a few of you know I bought #113 just over a month ago, it appears to be well cared for and was last serviced around Feb 2016 but what I want to know is, is there anywhere in the NW area that I can take it for a good check over and service, more for peace of mind then anything else.
Thanks in...
Had the car approx 5 weeks or so but only gets used at weekends and tbh I've not really been anywhere decent in it yet due to work commitments but I had the day off yesterday and noticed something.
When I locked my car it beeped at me 3 times (ive read that this is just the alarm 'arming' BUT...
Had a search on the forum but cant seem to see any info in regards to changing door handles.
I've had a pair of door handles sprayed as mine were pink so im wondering if its an easy job to swap them over and if there's a guide to do this? Or should I just leave it to a garage to sort lol
Need...
I took ownership of 113/500 over the weekend so I thought I would start a little thread to show progress etc.
The car itself is in good condition, mechanically perfect with belts and dephaser not due for 2 years and currently Sachs are in good condition.
Car is standard apart from a Ktec...
Hi guys, got #113 on Saturday which has a few rust issues as well as paint fade issues which im going to work my way through.
First question is can this strip that runs along the roof be removed and bought new? It has rust bubbling in the corner (photo is generic Google image so dont look for...
After a couple of weeks of searching online for a Trophy im going to see my first one today, number 113. Seems a well kept car going off the description, mileage is higher than what id ideally want at 123,000 but a lot seem to be around that.
All being well there will be a deposit going down :)
Hi guys, just signed up after being pointed in this direction. Im on the look out for a Trophy but only have a small budget so not expecting a low mileage minter, only looking at approx £3500. Just trying to save up whenever possible to add to the pot.
Is £3500 reasonable or is there no chance...
