Yes mate, you're aswell paying the £12 for membership, i'd imagine you'll find what you're looking for tonight.
Every phase 2 172, Phase 2 Cup and all 182's share the same front end.
Yep, 18mm bolt holding them in at the bottom and 13mm (its a smaller nut anyway) at the top! Doesn't take long!
Really easy to change, you don't need to jack the car up or anything.
I'm 25 miles to work aswell mate, i work at Gourock so about the same as yourself, always used the Clios for the commute, not the best motorway cruiser's but they do the job!
Running cost's aren't that bad mate, not atleast for what they offer in terms of performance.
Tax and insurance is probably the biggest outlay outwith the dreaded cambelt change which from a specialist is circa £450-£550. (There is a place in Hillington estate that do this btw, Kenny Brown...
I never mate no, i've had four RS Clio's and never bought any of them from here! One from Piston Heads one from Arnold Clark and the other two from gumtree!
I tend to keep adverts to myself, you don't know who else is looking for the same thing you are ;)
I'm Penilee mate, just along the road...
Welcome along mate, sub 2k 172's come up all the time, i wouldn't limit yourself to just Scotland mate - i went to leeds for my cup, totally worth it!
Where are you in glasgow pal?
Yeah no you're right!
My old man had a bench mounted vice then he retired, now we have a floor vice. Not bolted to anything.
The sooner i get a house with a garage the better :(
In all honesty Simon, that ebay one seems better. The advert is good the car looks well looked after.
The fact he has decent rubber on it would suggest it's been looked after and cherished!
