Looks like i'm buying another 172, problem is this one's steering wheel has seen better days. How much for a new one or a decent second hand one?
If you've got one let me know...
Cheers

4K maybe a little less
He's a good bloke, doesnt rag his cars just doesnt take as much care as i do.
He had a large service last year (independant garage) and had gaiters, window regs, exhaust, shocks, cambelt done etc
As my other thread i'm looking at getting another 172, but is it worth paying an extra few K for a 182? Do they drive better? obviously faster?
Cheers

Sold my last 172FF 18months ago but wouldnt mind another...
Have been looking at a 52 172 with 70k on the clock, do these engines last or will i be looking at a new engine in 10k? its had an ok life but not pampered.
I will be taking it to the Ring and will also be doing a few track days...
My 172 has developed a very bazar un-sure feeling when braking.
Steering wheel pulls left, whilst cars pulls to the right when braking. It does it at above 15mph. There is also a creaking coming from the left side.(which may not be related) It does not appear to be a brake calliper...

Need discs and pads for my 02 172, going to fit myself, who sells them? price? etc
Just want the standard stuff
Cheers people
Mine is second but you can get them from Motorsportworld.
Fitting wise i got it done at mr exhuast(work came with a warrenty!), £30 but i couldnt be assd to put it on the stands etc (bolts had also been rounded off)
Not gonna tell my insurance...
Off to mr exhaust then...
Just had a janspeed de-cat fitted to my car mk2 172, under hard acceleration its now touching/banging/hitting something?
Anyone had this? No how to fix?
Cheers
could this happen on a mk2 172? mine ideas a tad rough and the mpg computer does not read after 40/30 miles left?
Is it expensive, does it affect performance?
Cheers
im having my done this week (not by fred as the distance was a problem)
Having them done in a colour matched to ford dark metallic grey... thought the anthracite and black was to dark. Will post some pics friday whwn i pick them up. Mines a silver mk2.

Having my wheels done tomo, cant decide what colour to have them done..
Anyone got pics of silver mk2 172 with standard wheels in a darker colour, dont wanna screw up so may stick with silver!!
Cheers
Just taken it all apart!! its the fan itself that makes the noise only to worsen when in contact with the plastic casing, just poor quality.
is that fan important? can the aircon/heater live without it?
Going to get my mk2 172 wheels refurbed, want them finished in a Grey/anthracite, anyone got a paint code?
I dont want them to dark, any ideas? pics? examples?
James
This is my sensible car!! How much will the noise increase with just the decat? can you still talk in the car? would rather the de-cat as its a ton cheaper just dont want to ruin the car like i ve with every other one,
Jessie!! my 205 has a group N....NOW THATS LOUD
