Thanks tom.

How much are these to replace???? The previous owner lost the one of my new car.

Picked up my new car last night - Mk 1 172 in Silver, never before have I been so excited about driving to work. This car is rapid.

Im going to tell the dealer to swivel tomorrow morning and then Im going to complain to trading standards, but only after Ive told the dealer what a dodgy F*cker (in the nicest possible way) he is!!! Ive found a private sale instead, I spent a hour checking the car over and of course Ive...

Thanks for the support and info guys!!! Also thanks MikeHerts, I rang that ABS line yesterday and they did a check on my VTR which came back all clear. I rang the salesman to let him know this but he then contacted the ABS line, he then rang me back and said that he had spoken to the same...

Thanks for the support guys its much appreciated, Ive already done a HPI check on my car and the 172 and they are both clear. I was going name and shame but Im waiting to see what he offers me tomorrow. The dodgyness has put me off a lot and even though the car only has a 3 month warranty I...

I was due to pick up my new car tomorrow at 10am, an X reg Mk1 172, anyway the garage Im buying it off ring me last night with a "concern" over the mileage on my trade in (S reg VTR). After carrying out an NMR check the guy at the garage claims theres a mileage discrepancy on my car that has...

Just got mine for my new 172 that Im picking up on Saturday - £1040 from Tesco thats with 4Years NCD, no points and a reasonable postcode with my girlfriend (23) with 2years NCD as a named driver. Not to bad until I compare it to the £400 I paid for my VTR last year - still you only live once ;)

Hi guys, about to pick up my new X reg 172 but the AA survey I had donewas all clear apart from picking up on the airbag warning light being constantly on. When I test drove the car (last wkend) this wasnt the case, does anyone know of any faults with the airbag system in a Mk1 172? Im part...

Thanks for the help Scott, sounds like the lever on the seat might be dodgy I think it may have been rounded off cause when I tried to turn the lever it spun around the bolt that unlocks the seats postion and allows it to move forward - I may have to get a new lever from the scrap yard or...

What about the drivers seat, the CD changer is under that.

Im picking up a Mk1 172 a week on Sat. with the factory install CD changer under the drivers seat - am I right in thinking that the drivers seat doesnt move forward to allow passengers into the rear of the car when the CD changer is in place??? The reason I ask is because the seat didnt move at...

Whoops my fingers are to excited to type.
