MPG figure is an average not real time., you need to do a few miles before it can work it out. if you reset it and drive slowly it will read stupidly high same goes for thrashing it ive had mine down to 10 mpg. i try not to reset mine and it averages about 28 - 29 mpg.

mosts speedos are 10% out, ive got sat nav with GPS. at 110 on speedo its 100 MPH on GPS. been ALOT faster tho ;)

there where only 250 v6 mk1s sold in the uk if thats any help ?? :)

I heard Optimax is refined to 95 RON then has Octane Booster mixed with it to bump it up to 98 RON, downside is it loses its RON rating if sat in the tanks for a while. Esso BP e.t.c Super Unleaded is refined to 97 RON with no octane booster added. Thats what i heard from a bloke works in...

72.000 miles or 5 yrs what ever comes first..

i would sell my kidney for one of them :D

ive got 170 atws ;) not in my 172 tho, my 172 has 135 atws :D

im impressed thats fairly accurate :) its spot on with my GTT times..

17 seconds sound right to me :)

100 mph on the speedo or on eletronic timing gear?? ;)

i always park in 2 spots in car parks i get funny looks but i dont care anymore, when ever i did park in single spots my mirrors where always clipped and people just open there doors on you.

You have PM :D yer thats fully comp

insurance isnt a problem £1300 @ 21 cant complain. ;) what should i pay for a mk 1 Vee then?

is that the best way to go then?? i think i will strugle to get a good price for mine it has high miliage. ill have to get a settlement figure :)

just need some advise really. ive got a mk 1 172, i paid £6000 for it on finance ive had the car 6 months now just wondering if i could trade it in for a v6 ?? not to sure how finance companies work e.t.c any help would be great :D

mine dont rattle, still going strong with 77k on the clock. :D mk 1 172 all the way !!!

so at the moment i have the highest milage :D 77178 miles to be precise.

northampton is a very big place :) ive seen two 182s in daventry one blue and the other the light blue with strips. dont see many mk1 172s apart from mine. ;)

im 21, got my R5GTT at 18 was paying £1800. still have the 5. got my 172, 6 months ago. i paid for the lot. gonna be buying a house this year, need to get on the property ladder.

my mk 1 172 has got 77k drives like new, infact the only annoying rattle ive got is my rear headrest. i must have a good one. looking though the folder i got its only had 2 new wheel bearings and thats it. :) touch wood.

i use 97 RON, if youve ever owned a R5GTT you will know why. i put 95 RON in once ( there was no petrol stations that sold it and i was low ) the car pinked its tits of on standard boost :cry: . I know a 172 isnt the same but if renault are recommending high octane fuel then there is a reason...

yep they do ;)

its not all about perfromance, your car wasnt designed for 17" you will be putting extra strain on your balljoints, wheel bearings, wishbone bushes e.t.c and lets not forget your speedo will be out, if your car is lowered you may get wheel scrubbage . :)

14s !! been there done that lol ;) its getting there adey, nice one see you at National day :)

there is a easy way to settle it, just go to santa pod :) you will see the clio do it in 14.xx and the saxo do it in 16.xx ;) this is fact.
