Hi Folks, While driving my girlfriends Trophy for the first time in ages the other night I was doing maybe 80MPH when I changed from 5th to 4th & put the throttle to the floor. Lots of smoke came out of the exhaust - after double checking it (repeated the gearchange) the same thing happened...

Time for my Trophy to go. It's got 34000 miles & is on an 05 plate. T6PHY plate included. Its in excellent condition with FSH (additional oil changes every 6K).

As the subject says, After worrying about the Clio and not wanting to leave it anywhere in fear or dents, scratches etc. im looking to buy a shitter. Anyone got some good examples? I want something with a boot (estate) so i can fit mountain bikes in also something thats reliable thats not so...

Havn't posted for a while but after searching the many posts on here and cs about brake upgrades, I plumped for the pagid blue rs 4.2 pads and new brembo high carbon disks. I had them fitted at GDI last saturday (Thanks Andy & Mark) Their service and attention to detail was excellent. I...

hallo :D I stopped today to take 4 pics with my mobile, quality is not very good. I don't know if you have this Focus ST WRC edition in UK, i don't know exactly how many exemplars exist for Switzerland and rest of Europe, in this garage is already the 3th they sell in some weeks. bye Luca

How?! :? Took the old pads out, gave everything a good clean, wound the caliper piston back in, the inboard pad fits fine. But there is no way the outside pad will fit, the gap between the outer edge of the disc and the caliper / pad retaining bracket is about 2mm too small. In writing...

So I took my trophy down to Mark fish motorsport today for its 24K service and a geometry check. he phoned me up an hour ago and reported a 3/4 of a degree difference in camber angles between each side, so im glad I asked him to check this. This is the more worrying problem with my car...

Well, at 39 weeks pregnant I can not bury my head in the sand any longer. My wife and I are having a baby and that is all there is to it. The Trophy has got to go. Check out the advert (with pics) on Piston Heads - http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/158500.htm :cry:

My trophy repeatedly flashed up warning lights on the track, through a long left-hand hairpin. I can't say exactly which lights because I couldn't look at the dash for long enough, all I know is that it only happened in the one corner and one of the lights was a stop light. Come out of the...

What’s written on your oil bottle and what does it mean. This post may seem like going back to basics but I am constantly surprised by the amount of people who do not know or understand what is written on a bottle of oil and therefore no idea of what they are buying/using. To be...

Was chattin with some1 the other day & basically it led me to have a quick check over my brakes. I was very surprised. The rear pads are just about due 4 replacement imo, after only 8500miles!!!! There is about 1-1.5mm left on the piston side pad and 2.5-3mm on the reactor side. Has anyone...

If you are "modding" your car and adding BHP or using it on track then consider your oil choice carefully as the stock manufacturers recommended oil will not give you the protection that your engine requires. A standard oil will not be thermally stable enough to cope with higher temperatures...
