Pistonheads, auto trader & ebay are the main places tbh.
Also check over on cliotrophy.

Even if there is none on the web site give Steve a bell, he will probably find u one, he did for me.

Loads for sale on p-heads atm.

 

[Ian_182]

Theres one for sale on auto trader for less than £6000,46k though.

Dont pay over the odds there all dropping like stones

Pheads or autotrader. On cliotrophy the prices are a bit inflated.

Usually has mint examples, and could probably source you a good one!

I (personally) wouldn't bother with a dealer. The Trophy's tend to have been well looked after, so do your research and buy private, saving yourself a decent amount of cash.

 

[Ian_182]

I'd sooner buy one off here than a dealer

cheers for the info, is there anything in particular i should be looking out for (problems) and how much should i pay for a good example?

cheers

There have been a few mentioned for sale on cliotrophy.co.uk, one of which is a cat D, so beware. Again there is a section on Trophy problems, the only one I think I had was a squeaky passenger seat (very common) but is resolved with some grease.

I bought my Trophy in Jan'08 with 37k on the clock and all been ok so far. Even better since it had a new exhaust and remap by K-tec. Great motor and love it to bits.

whats the crack with the suspension. my 182 cup packed had noticeably deteriorated suspension at 52k miles before it was written off. ie diving under braking etc that wasnt there from new.

do these sachs just get regassed?

 

[Jay_A]

There is some info on cliotrophy.co.uk of a company that will service the sachs suspension for £140 each. Seems rare though that anyone gets it done.

If i bought one, i'd make sure the pins hadnt been tampered with....

I really wouldn't worry too much. Not many seem to do that either.

I'd be more concerned with checking they were pinned correctly from the factory. Guy on cliotrophy found the dampers set differently right to left from the factory. Nothing wrong with unpinning the dampers, they were designed to be adjustable, so whats the problem?

 

[Ian_182]

I would love a trophy tbh
