You won't regret it if you buy a decent 172. Especially the Ph1.
Pretty much better in every way that a GTi, but not by much. A tiny bit quicker, but feel so much more solid, and in a way, more grown up.
If you buy a dodgy one, it'll bite you in the arse, mate. So make sure someone goes...
LOL. Yep, and sold them on RR for twice the price three months later. ;):cool:
Stump up your £10 for a full club membership if you're serious about getting a 1*2. The guides section is worth it alone. There's pretty much nothing that's not been covered. Plus, for sale sections and local meets...
Ph1 and Ph2 are largely interchangable, yes.
Interiors is a fair job, but do-able.
There's always people on here asking about 106's, mate, so might be worth putting a thread up for a PX.
Saying that, the Ph1 is the best 1*2 to drive. (I've never driven a Trophy).
Leave the pads in.
Get an easy bleed kit if you're on your own. Brilliant bit of kit.
Start with the wheel furthest away from the resevoir, and just bleed it through until the fluid looks clean!
Easy peasy.
