I feel sorry for you as this would get me fuming I would take a trip down the scrappy and try and find one. Dont remove it though, will look like a chaved up saxo with flush tailgate in it!

ring up k tec- simple

I have proxes 4's and I think they are a great tyre. Some people slate them but I can't see any reason why. I chose these over the Hankooks and am more than happy

no such thing as goodyear F1's anymore....

too right ! :p

LED are the way forward here, never let me down

well said !

I see your post count is 0 even though you have posted lol 172's are lovely cars and coming from a saxo it will feel like a Bentley !

they are not group 16 insurance any more buddy, that all changed in 2012 . also belt changed at 70k is very late !

I think this is a good price ! I would buy it !

thanks for all the info guys its a great help after having a look at my car inside the bonnet and outside under it I still cant see what caused this. I have a little oil above the manifold by the rocker cover but it looks old and not likely to spill. The mystery goes on ......

Hasnt told us anything useful ? sorry Chip :rasp: Its a 172 bod standard and it DID catch fire- fact ! Its not a lie I wanted to find this out and I will check all these things out and will update. I have heard of one 172 set on fire on here but was way more serious than mine !

I will get under there when I have time and take a look. No leaks at all. I park in a private space everyday so that would show me if I had any.

ideal cheers for that info really helps now when I take a look at it again. Yeah come to think of it sure the bloke at the garage thought if anything it could of been that. Thats what I was saying just now this would not of happened on the road with air coming in. Thank god I always carry a...

Ha ha brilliant my Mate used Dr Pepper on his R5GTT once on fire is the bulkhead near the manifold ?

no I meant with your foot down sitting on high revs. An emissions test isnt just on idle.

I wasnt sitting there I was at home but anyway, yeah I am but how often does your car run for ages on idle while you are not driving it through air ? Thats why i put this thread up see if its common and see what may have cause it. Will look into it more then. The garage didnt seem concerned...

yeah tell me about it ! Was so happy that it passed like that. Proves that if you look after your car it will look after you ! :approve: The fire thing is strange though. It passed emissions somehow lol

I didnt see it they told me after...... err guess it was smoking def was flames I was told :dapprove: On a different not it passed with no advisory's :approve:

Thanks for that Maybe that caught I just don't know now ! If anyone else has come across this it would help cheers !

My car caught fire during its emissions test. Ap it was around the manifold area but they wernt too sure. I am on really good terms with the garage so they found it quite funny. It took ages to go through this test so it was being run a lot with not much air and the exhaust got very hot. Is...

we need a pic or no one will believe you....

As above, about 11.50, was nice very low on black standard wheels, 51 plate.

they are the reason all of us pay so much on our 1*2's :dapprove: Greenlight told me they wouldnt insure me as a 1*2 claims too much on their insurance. Try sky they helped me.

as above, nice to see one in the south west in black only seen 3.

Up date, just had a quote from Sky Insurance £742 which is more like it. Found out what it was, been in temp work and voluntary work so I thought it would be easier to say unemployed. That's been the reason. Thanks again Sky Insurance, :approve:

sorry to be a nag, but if your car has failed you can't drive it on the road again till you do a re test.

Ideal mate I will give these things a try ! :approve:

yeah sure yeah.....

FF172 ? really ?
