well done mate looks good !

 

[Trophy400]

Trophy has been on the road for a few days now but something still doesn't seem quite right with it. Booked in to the garage for saturday

 

[PP200t]

Why what seems wrong?

 

[Trophy400]

It's making a loud rumbley type noise, and it gets louder the faster you go. My dad thought that it might possibily be the wheel bearings?

 

[PP200t]

Yeah sounds like it. Front or back? Could be tyres out of shape tho?
I'm getting the same that has just come on, and I think mine is bearings (rear)

 

[Trophy400]

I think it's coming from the back. The engine management light is on now too

 

[Keith185]

Could be bringing up an ABS sensor fault possible if the rear bearings are worn. Bearings/sensor rings are all pressed onto the rear discs.

(someone correct me if I'm wrong)

 

[Trophy400]

Would it be more likely to bring on the abs light if there was a sensor fault, and not the engine management light. Two different lights surely?

Possibly, sorry didn't read it properly diagnostics machine is only real way

 

[Trophy400]

Trophy is all sorted and has been back on the road a couple of weeks engine management light went off on it's own and front drivers side wheel bearing replaced.

List of other things to do

Sort out aerial
Put another stereo in as the standard one doesn't work
Change wipers
Get better front tyres
Silvertec bulbs
Rear leather seats / upgraded door cards
Put trophy sticker on side skirt
Put on carbon washer blanks

 

[Jon.G]

Good to hear its back on the road!

 

[Trophy400]

Good to hear its back on the road!

Thanks

 

[Trophy400]

Engine management light is back on

 

[daveski]

Know anyone with CLIP who can plug it in and find out whats wrong?

If not contact Mick at www.diamondmotors.co.uk (also a trader on here) he's in Long Eaton and will be able to diagnose it for you

 

[Trophy400]

My dad is a mechanic and own a garage so I can go plug it in there. It did it a few weeks ago and as soon as my dad took it there the light went off lol. He plugged it in anyway but no faults came up. Yesterday I had the service light, traction control and abs light come on. But then they went off after a few hours. Gonna plug it in again on Saturday. I think somehow it keeps confusing itself?

 

[daveski]

Could be that there's a wiring issue maybe? Or something is getting caught / trapped somewhere.

Dont know to be honest, I'm no mechanic!

 

[Trophy400]

Yeah maybe. Think I'll have to let the garage have it for a while again. The mileage trip switch doesn't work either. So probably got some funny wiring I'm thinking.

 

[Trophy400]

Engine management light has gone off again now lol

 

[Trophy400]

Not been on here for a while but made a bit of progress with the Trophy.

Fitted: stereo, sub, upgraded front speakers, changed front and rear wipers, silvertec bulbs front and rear, carbon fibre washer blanks, and leather rear bench.

Waiting to fit: 182 door cards front and rear, pressed plates, trophy sticker for side skirt.

Just ordered: green panel air filter, and a trs tow strap.

I also need to sort out the aerial, splitter, front tyres, and intermittent engine management light fault. It is also covered in tar spots which I am struggling to get off. But the car feels like its coming together nicely now

 

[Duffman_172]

Sounds good, need to see some updated pictures soon by the sounds of it!

 

[Trophy400]

Finally managed to get a few bits done: pressed plates, smoked side repeaters, green panel air filter fitted.

And just having some michelin PE3's fitted on the front and tracking done so glad to be rid of the Nankangs!
