Hi everyone. I just wanted to close this with a massive thank you to everyone as always on the forum but an even bigger thank you and massive thumbs up for Mark Donovan at Prestige & Performance Car Service in Ebbsfleet. He went out of his way to keep me updated on the work he was doing and gave...

Brilliant thank u everyone. Mark thinks the the leaking gaskets may have leaked oil at the back onto the clutch housing area which may have contributed too. Expense out of the blue but I decided not to sell the car when new baby arrived 7 months ago as I love her so much (car, but baby too of...

Thanks so much everyone that's really helpful and reassuring. Mark comes highly recommended so I'm just waiting for final quote. Apparently have leaky gaskets too although never have oil under car in garage but might be best to get it all sorted. On the off chance does anyone know what the funny...

Hi all. My car (4200) started selecting only 2nd gear and couldn't select 1st or reverse so have it with Mark Donovan (prestige and performance cars in Gravesend) at mo who has suggested pressure plate has gone and needs new clutch. Quoting around 4k. Had new clutch fitted in 2016 by Matthew at...

I've tried all that...even attached it all to prove the point but to no avail!! She's still just as beautiful....! (My wife of course....)

Beloved and adored for many years but unfortunately needing new owner as baby on the way and no way to convince wife otherwise! Lovingly looked after with regular maintenance and full servicing. Personalised Reg P11SOR will be retained. Full service history. Rare Grigio Nuvolari / beige leather...

Thx so much. Will go back to my man and see what he says. P

Dear all, Hope everyone surviving the mini beast - and cars tucked up until warmer weather arrives. Unfortunately mine has to trudge through the cold these days. Posting as i've know the air con unit on my 2005 face lift 4200 has been iffy for a few years but told until packs in best to...

Thanks totally and utterly to everyone's advice and help, my complaints letter to keycare was responded to within 48hrs, and they will cover the cost of changing the locks and keys. Really really appreciate all the help. This forum is so awesome, and everyone so engaged and supportive. If only...

He definitely is! And albeit almost a grand for locks etc my excess is 850 quid so def not claiming!! Now everyone's gonna tell me i'm the only fool with such a high excess!!! Ho hum.... Happy sunday everyone!! The daffodils are out and spring is on it's way! The cars are getting itchy to be...

Dear all, Thanks for all advice as always. Matthew at Giallo has come through for me yet again, and for under a grand i'll have locks changed and new keys without having to fiddle with alarm. This keeps insurance company happy and gives me peace of mind. I will keep you posted as to Keycare...

Thanks so much. No key/lock cover as part of car insurance - quotemehappy have confirmed this. I could claim and get them to do it, but would lose no claims bonus and presume this would then hike up my insurance next year. Keycare have written already saying my only option is to appeal to...

Last call for help! I'm about to give go ahead to have 2 new keys programmed which will mean stolen key will activate alarm and will not start car. This is a lot cheaper than new locks and alarm (2.5k). My only concern is insurance. They are awaiting confirmation that the locks are sorted...

Please please talk me through this!! I guess I just need to know if there is an alternative cheaper way of securing the car that doesn't involve changing all locks and alarm.....

Just received quote to change locks. £2400 all in!!! Over 2/3 of that is for a new alarm. Do I have to change alarm too?? Really thinking of reprogramming spare key and keeping the original locks at this point. Keycare will only cover for 1k as it is if I do eventually get them to pay...

Dear all, Can i pick everyone's brains for more advise please! I have picked up the car from the pound. She is looking untouched. No damage inside or out. Only 6 miles on the clock since theft - distance from fulham where stolen to streatham where left in residential road. Even left documents...

Dear all, Just got call from police to say car has been found! It has been parked in a quiet residential road in Streatham since Christmas when it was stolen. So hoping it's not been used at all. Apparently there is no internal or external damage. It has to be taken to the pound for forensics...

Service booklet was with car unfortunately. And also just paid 4k for full service and new clutch/f1 pump! Hoping that will all be taken into consideration. Will be onto Nareman. Bought car from him few years back, and will most likely buy replacement there too! Thanks all. P

Thanks again to all. Hope everyone had a happy Christmas day with family and friends. Just thinking ahead. Insurance said they would pay me market value minus excess. Is this something i can barter if they come back with ridiculous offer or is it standard. Mine was a 2005 facelift 4200 with 70k...

Everyone, thank you so much for your kind responses and support. Really appreciate it. And from so many of you! So amazing and testament to what a great group of people trident owners are! No news about the car yet. Still have everything crossed they'll get bored and ditch somewhere rather than...
