With a non-shagged gearbox and rev matching it isn't that impossible. Not nice but definitely doable.

Maybe they mapped it to run on 98 ron?

Now my cars pretty much had all the work done to that it that it will need for the forseeable future, circumstances have it that it needs to go :( It is a 51 plate 172 in flame red, 2 previous lady owners, 44k on the clock, belts done a year ago at 32k, 4 premium tyres that have done under 1k...

Thanks for the reply. How do I go about cleaning the sensor? as i'd rather try that first before replacing it, knowing my luck.

Tape the picture of the mileage on the windscreen, facing whoever would be driving it.

I never trust it tbh.. I put in £20 of V-power the other day after the tank was nearly completely empty. Apparently the tank is 11 gallons? well £20 filled the tank up to just under a quarter, and after i'd used 2 gallons the gauge read completely empty. So I just go by £5 = around 0.8 gallons...

No one know what this is? :dapprove:

Been on (intermittently) whilst driving for a few months now and still not got any closer to knowing what it is. Is it likely to be a faulty sensor? or just electrics? anyone with any experience with this it would be nice to get some advice :) Thanks for any suggestions

Never understood the people who manage to consistently get 40+ mpg.. on a motorway fair enough, but round town.. you might as well have bought a 1.2. I drive my 172 what I would describe as 'normally' for the kind of person who would buy the car, and average is around 24-30, generally round...

James May in a boxster on the motorway months ago. He actually waved at us as we left on the sliproad for letting him pull out about 2 miles prior :)

First one i've ever seen... anyones off here? it was parked up by the lights at the junction on widney lane in solihull on sunday. Looked very nice either way :cool:

The (illegal) tints really turn it from a marmite car which some people may love, into something that just looks tacky.

Didn't see a point in starting a new thread.. but the problem is still going lol. Nothing at all seems to be different about how the car runs, but the oil / stop light intermittently just flash on and off while im driving. Any ideas?

Yeh they agreed there had been no impact which caused the issue. Didn't take any pictures stupidly since we were assured it would all be dealt with with no problems. :dapprove:

I bought 4 new pirelli's for my 172 and 2 months and 2000 miles later one of the tyres seemed to 'develop' a rather large bulge in the sidewall. Took it back to the place where we bought the tyres and they said they can't see any impact mark on the wheel matching the problem area so it can...
