gearbox

Hi all, Have had 2 services since I owned the T on 24k and 35k using 5W40 Elf oil. After having the last oil change the car has now covered 37k and is already low on oil. Not sure if it has been topped up fully but imagine it would have been. Car is used 5 days a week for 60 mile commute...

What is a trophy worth in bits? The car in question is completely standard with engine failure Dampers are fine, one wheel has a kerb mark that I can see and the mileage is 65-70k miles. I'm informed the gearbox is fine and the recaro's are in mint condition, any help is appreciated

Recently my car has not been starting properly on the first turn of the key if its turned to quickly. i read up on this and it seems alot of 182s suffer with it but today it took me maybe 15 attempts to start the car. The car was turning over strongly but just not catching before but this time...

Right I will get straight to the point as I have a list; I have owned my Trophy for now 2 months and when purchased I had timing belts done and an oil and filter change done. This weekend however I was doing a gearbox change and checked the oil now the dipstick read ½ litre low and when I...

Hey guys! I went along to the Rally Day in Castle Combe on the 18th. Bumped into a fellow Trophy owner and had a quick chat, don't think he was on the forum but told him sign up! Anyway was a great day out seeing loads of track day cars, 60's, 70's classic rally cars along with the Group B...

Anyone decided to replace the clutch yet?? 50 k on mine, no probs other than it squeaks when it's hot on the track ( never on the road) - thinking of doing it anyhow. Any thoughts, 5 years now folks: it's about time maybe????

Well until the new owner collects his new Trophy tomorrow evening, eh Dave;) Shame we can't afford to keep all 3 (my wife's is the RB), but I'm chuffed to bits with the 200 and I know the T is going to a good home.
