Lol you seem right, although i've never driven an R27 so could not comment!

Further update, took the car to my friends garage yesterday and fault seems to be related to the MAP sensor. Easy enough to replace but would a tiny sensor really cause a major problem? Would there be a reason why the EML light came on once only and cleared itself? (before the trip to his garage)

Have had no engine issues with the T and have it serviced regularly. Of late, my engine management light came on once and went away after I turned the car off and on. Have since had a feeling that car is 'holding back' and does not feel quite right. Plugs checked and seem ok, coil pack less...

Spotted you in a private car park in Brixham, not been over this way for a while!

That has to be the shiniest Trophy ive ever seen!

Mine now doing this, which mount is best to replace first? Or worth doing all three?

Ouch! Have seen worse at work (deal with total loss claims for a hire company). Hope the driver / passengers came out ok. Engine cover looks salvageable.....

Cracking part of the country Cornwall by the way, being in the neighbouring county it's a shame you didn't pop by and show me the 'shed' :rasp:

Awesome, was hoping you'd get a pic when hit that marker!

Put all mine back together on Thursday and had alignment setup but still did not feel right. Found out the front wheels needed balancing after I thought the tyre place would have done this when the new tyres were fitted! Place up the road from me said the wheels had no weights on either...

Yes only one in Torbaydos lol! Car is off the road following a major suspension overhaul, should be back on the road by the weekend when my front alloy is refurbed and new tyre arrives! Did you pm me? Just deleted my inbox so please resend ;-)

Saw this one yesterday - think the guy / girl must work in there!

Agree! Also noticed with my worn front tyres that the PS3 wears quicker. The front PE2 had over 3mm tread and the PS3 around 2.5mm.

I rock and bounce my suspension all the time and no sign of any problem. Would strongly take dampers off for a thorough physical inspection. Going forwards will be taking mine off every 3 months to clean / check. How often do you adjust the dials? I got into the habit of adjusting mine all...

Had the front end of mine 'refreshed' with new ball joints, bearings, ARB bushes and top mounts only to get a call from my mechanic 'did you know you have oil leaking from one of your shock absorbers'? Was stunned as had mine refurbed in May 2010 and never expected them to fail so quick. I...

No, fit a cambelt and be confident it will not fail!

Go and pay Fred a visit!

Completely agree with this. Put the cheaper gear oil in mine and have same problems. Next time it is drained shall be putting the expensive oil in!

Wish I had done this! Cost me near on £1k, 2 aux belts kits, a replacement alternator beaaring and then alternator mount got damaged (luckily aux belt did not take out cam belt). You always learn the hard way!

Would try Greenlight or Admiral as first point of call, imagine most high street insurers wouldn't even quote

Agree! Just take a look at the LY thread on here, no harm in a second opinion!

Driving a Saxo Vtr, 1998 model as a runaround and when I get back in mine everything feels immensely tight, steering precise and brakes absolutely outstanding!

Do you mean Sat 25th??

Unbelievable. Remember my old Ax GT cabriolet got advisory for 'chassis flex', hardly surprising considering they were made of paper. Have had some major MOT failures in the past, anyone got any classics?

If I sold the Clio and replaced it with something new / boring I don't think the other half would speak to me again!

Bugger, car on axle stands waiting for dampers to be done! Quite like Tavistock so shame to miss this one.

Made me laugh, good spot!!
