60K .... who needs a house :)

After a traumatic year i have sold the house. What am i going to spend it on ..... What about that Trophy with 24K miles on it ?

i fitted it. was a bit fiddly but got there in the end. it worked really well. took a few days to settle in. must add that i did mine with the gearbox out. as far as a guide is concerned there is a website. cant remember the url but i think it is on the packaging. the page is in frenglish but...

the nose problem is only short term mate. looking to get sorted in the next few weeks. i have had the car nearly five years now and on its second engine. i know it inside out so its a keeper. its a cheap little car to keep running. has its problems but then it is 12 years old. yeah i could do a...

I did mine. Took the engine out to change the clutch and release bearing and did the belts at the same time

that was me mate. nose isnt broken but is good but in titanium silver at the moment. going to get it to fit perfectly then off to get some paint on it. sorry i didnt acknowledge you in time. only spotted you at the last second...

Is it on the sunflower register ???

The rear strut brace is much more effective.. You can hang your bags of shopping on it ....... they are chavtastic..... :)

Exactly what i did. Bin the broken one and sling a new motor in. Changing the belts on the bench is the work of a few minutes...

Took me 2 weeks to do mine :)

they always use relined clutches. i cant believe in this day and age that anyone would even consider it. a relined clutch might work in a mini metro, definitely not in a 170bhp hot hatch ! they quoted me 250 to do mine. sounded way too cheap to me so ran a mile.

years ago took my seven replica kitcar for an mot and left it. later found out they had been hooning around an industrial estate in it. had words with the manager but nothing came of it. doesnt even need a road test for an MOT. was a very quick car as well and needed careful handling...

due to personal reasons its a keeper... :)

I havent but that probably explains why a few are missing !!! :)

Ordered some sportlines today for the sunflower. Got them from prima at a competitive price. Loads of fun fitting them..

i think what happened to mine was just bad luck. just advise you to check it out..

on my phase 1 when i turned the steering the belt slipped and i was getting a loud squeaking. i concluded it was the PAS 2 weeks later the car just stopped. turns out the aux belt jumped and moved the timing. result was many damaged valves. when i pulled the motor out i cut the aux belt off...

check your crank pulley is still in one piece !

I am trying to improve the fit of my phase 1 bumper. Any tips ? I am finding that the gaps between the bumper and the lights as viewed from above is not equal. Also on one side the tab that fits into the front wing pops out. At the moment i am missing the front arch linings. Could this be...

Strut braces should be welded in or next best thing PM kit. The clue is in the name 'strut brace' - 3 self tappers dont brace - they flex. Save weight and chuck it in the bin. The rear is even worse. The aftermarket struts all bolt on the struts which are rubber mounted. Enough said... Bin...

Mine came from Renault. It isnt cheap for wht it is. About £30 ! BUt it works. I fitted mine while the box was out, thought it was a good investment. No leak. Instructions are in french but if you find the manuf website i think there are some frenglish translations....

Its a bit more sparkly now...

That was me mate. Was just picking up some body panels to replace the front bumper... Black wheel going silver this week !

When i said swap i didnt mean directly. I meant selling on the phase 1 and getting a trophy. Are the trophy as engaging as a phase 1 ? I like the rawness of my sunflower.

think i may keep it as lot of sentimental value. buy a matching trophy :)

whats that about the crank pulley ??????????????? my phase 1 was making a noise when turning the steering. a sort of low rumbling noise on full lock. thought it was the pas. 2 weeks later the motor went bang...cambelt still in place .. i pulled the motor out and cut the cambelt off and the...

Thinking of swapping out my phase 1 sunflower for a 182 Trophy . Are they that much better ?

mine did this when it popped out. fortunately i had the bumper off at the time. sprung it open with a screwdriver

mine has been like that for 3 years !!
