Looks like my first 5GTT died in 2003, 10 years after I sold it. The blue one I had last failed mot in 2017😢. And I can't remember the other ones reg number.
The ly Meg was outside jss when I passed on Monday so it may be worth dropping them a message.
I had DDC refurb my front calipers when one siezed and welded the pads to the disk. Had no issues since but I did think they were a tad expensive.
Kwik fit are still open aren't they?
Oh for sure. At 6 years old how much damage do we reckon it would have needed to be written off? And as its not fallen apart in 10 years since it wouldn't be much of an issue if the car was a 110k+ one. I bet he keeps it now he's been told 🤣.
The high pressure hose is the one thing that boils my piss about my karcher. It's too short and clios itself up as soon as you look away from it. I need to look into changing it sometime soon.
I was looking at buying a mk1 RS around 2008 but the road tax was way out of acceptability for a yorkshireman. Obviously that was before values shot up. Yeah some self flagellation was in order🤣.
When I passed my tese my mum had a G reg micra. Within a year I somehow talked her into a 106 xsi. That was great fun, but I got well beaten by a Renault 5 GTT so...

Buyer beware and all that. At least there's bow a service available that digs a bit deeper than the flawed hpi check. Don't forget to share across Facebook though 👍.
If there are other parts you can use too andits cheap enough then go for it. On ours the 1.2 dash trim is exactly the same colour as the 182 but without the shitty sticky soft touch coating. I don't even know if the 172 cup has the soft touch dash parts?
1.2
182
Ignore the dash strips and carbon obvs. The other parts will swap perfectly well. Dash top may not work, although the centre part can be swapped over if needed.
Yeah Dinorwig is a bunk room and we did have full breakfast included. It's well hidden in the hills and not a fun place to get to!
We were planning another trip this year and still hoping it can go ahead but I doubt B&B's and the like will be open.
