No mention of condition, but worth an email maybe?

Thanks for the heads up - I've sent him a message.

I discovered a leaking rear passenger side damper on Sunday. Managed to get a used pair from a low milage car for £10 so not too bad.

Does anyone happen to know how much the pads drag on the discs? fitted new discs on the weekend but kept the original pads (they had been changed 3 or 4 months ago by previous owner) and I can hear them dragging ever so slightly when going along (with windows open). fronts also do it but not as much... but I haven't had them apart.

They look in good nic, well from the only pic there.

Right next to my Mum's too, email sent

Can probably sell them on for a profit if you give them a good clean.

seems we showed to much interest in the recaros so hes now putting them up on a seperate auction.

They go for around £800ish I believe, seems a tad expensive imo.

Begbie said:
They are nice, can move enough to let people in the back though?

I don't believe they do.

Damn you lot!!

Will need to have a look when I get back, won't need to pay delivery so should be a bit cheaper.

Those Trophy seats are now up on the bay

does anyone want to swap their standard exhaust for my Ktec KTR Ultra? (182)

It's too noisy.

No idea why you'd want the rear's. They are cloth.

Will keep an eye on it, but will end up flogging the rest of the interior, the back seats are nasty.

The Trophy has a cloth rear bench?! :eek:

Yes, and standard door cards from a standard clio!! It also has a standard wiper from a clio, so you only get a set intermediate wipe, not the 5 option stalk as found in the 182!!

The odd thing is, is that the wiper programming is there, it's just the physically stalk. Ive swapped mine, its a god send in rain.

LMAO

That's nearly as bas British Leyland having the reversing bulb as an optional extra

He wants £400 for the dampers, which is not cheap enough for me to consider.

I'm hoping we can strike a better deal when we throw the gearbox in to the mix.

If I can negotiate the gearbox and suspension for around £500 with myself arranging shipping (costs me nothing) - I'll be an extremely happy chappy, even if the suspension did require a refurb in the near future.

Looking as shiny as ever squirrel

s0ck · 4 Aug 2011 at 09:49

Why are the sachs dampers considered so good? Can someone provide a link with a real comparison between 'standard' hot hatch dampers?

Preferably one that does not originate from an rs owners forum

Hadn't thought about the gearbox too. Could be a good deal in it for you.
