Thats probably the Andre martain knows isn't @Mr Burns

Too much love going out for these cars, they look awful and they are scary as fook! Every island has to be taken flatout, every car is a race and constantly needs to show me how good they handle. This is just going to work

I would at least speak to trading standards, I did and if in the advert it stats anything about it being mechanically sound ect and a mechanic can prove otherwise, you have a case. So any sign of a temporary fix ect

Haha that's lucky as I was going to compare part numbers lol

Thank you mate, I going to be ordering a few things from rpd so may as well order them then. If I don't I will order from you

Thanks mate

Dammit! I was hoping for "yes cheap ones are fine" so are the genuine Renault ones from Renault parts direct are the ngk ones? Thanks gaz

Same happened as in my 172 broke down on the way home. Wasn't happen but sold as seen and all that jazz. It sucks but its just one of them things, at least once you fix it, it's fixed

OK so just been looking at spark plugs and found myself looking at expensive ngk ones, which goes against everything I've ever said. Surely in a 160bhp car a spark plug is a spark plug???? I know in higher power forced induction cars a good spark plug us essential. Any body using cheap Bosch...

That's s**t luck mate, same happened to me. I'm guessing it was bought private?

If you just using it as a toy on the road then I'd go trophy, if it was a full on track toy I'd be going 182 with lots of mods. Now I know the trophy is a track car from factory, but to get the most out of a car on track you have to push them. This can result in a crash, spin or just major wear...

As long as its got a strong side wall and @smith647 said you'll have no problems. I had a mr2 with 205 50 16 nankangs side wall was super thin and moved all over the road at high speeds and just didn't give great confidence in corners. Toyos should be ok

I run 205 45 16 so I can't see 5% making much difference

Really enjoyed reading this thread, good to see you keep tackling the issues and not getting carried away with shiney bits. Keep up the good work and we'll done for saving a bodged 182

Was just typing the same thing, refreshed the page to see if someone had beaten me to it, and you had lol. Belt needs to go under the water pump????

Cheers mate, I must admit I was thinking earlier that I need to just get it on the road. At least then I can make my mind up

Piss off

Cheers mate, good advice much appreciated

Not a bad idea

She puts all her money into the bills she just doesn't have an expensive hobby like me lol

Can't afford to run a 172 lol!!! Would love an m3 though

Only got point for over taken 2 cop cars, 1 I was doing about 140mph and the other was over taking him by going the wrong side of a mini roundabout, so no biggy really lol. Lucky to have my licence.

See as a daily to work not many chavs would want a race. Be a bit gutting if it happened though

Thanks mate lol, think I need a firmer foot, she is all about family which I can't really knock, but she has no idea when it comes to money. Still can't make up my mind

She has but still not big Enough to make up for the head ache she causes lol

You don't know my wife, I got in from work the other day and she was happy that she had managed to get our 9 year old daughter the iphone she wants on a £30 a month contract. I went mad, she doesn't care. Had a new TV arrive today, it was her idea we got a 4 bed house, she has a car on tick...

This is the main problem, my wife makes us live beyond our means, I mean we live beyond our means lol. So don't have loads of spare cash. The original idea was to get it as a mint daily, do track days ect, when in the real world I'm just not able to afford it. I could get a DCI sport rep still...

Always use to have mint tidy cars, last one was nice when new drove it in to the ground, enjoyed not giving a s**t about it, parking it any where ect. Where as a tidy car is nice but as a daily worry about it

As a daily what would you prefer, a mint flame red DCI rep or a mint flame red 172? I think I would enjoy the rep for the eco cost but find it boring. Flip side again is that I have 9 points so I should slow down anyway. Value wise a mint DCI rep seems to be worth similar money to 172. I know...

Spot on, only thing I would say is you could keep Clio on trailer to save on space. If it was me and doing it on a budget, I would buy a cheap tow car with tow bar for about £1000, a semi decent trailer for about £500 then towing licence. So still £2k worth of investment but that's it then for...
