Good buy that. Some money to me made. Same colour as the one being broke on here? Although saying that, his bonnet might be screwed.

As said above, really. Cosmetics are the only massive difference. That, and the Ph2 has traction control etc. Interior is much, much nicer in the Ph2. Other options for that money? GTi-6? 106 GTi? VTS? Drive one.

P.s, the brakes will work just as well without the engine running, you just have to push harder!

Just keep the rope tight and it's a doddle. Make sure the car behind is doing all the braking. You'll be sticking your foot through the floor, but it'll be fine. Use a diseasel to tow, if possible. Much more torque lower down.

Nice one. Did it sort itself when you topped it up?

Your valuation is £495* pH1 172. 105k. Non runner. Lol.

Everytime I move the steering wheel anymore than 6" on the Almera I'm using, I get a horrible groaning/rubbing noise. It's not rubbing on the arches anywhere- I've checked. It only really happens when the engine is idling, like if i'm parking or 3point turning, but if i keep the revs up a...

They will get to around 140 eventually. Saying they hit a brick wall is indicating they lose all pull at over 120mph.

Does the noise happen when the car is just idling? Like if you sit on the driveway and rev to 3k? A way to check for exhaust blowing, is to have the car running, get a big lump of rag and cover the exhaust pipes. The pressure should build up if the exhaust is fine and well sealed. If not...

Mine made it to 105k. Benp's gearbox/clutch guide was top notch with taking mine out.

Happened to me too. one of the bearings in the gearbox disintegrated... Get the box off asap..

Such an improvement. Top work.

Anyone?

Travesty to take that engine out!

Awesome. Love it.

I'd be tempted to drive another Gti-6. The one I've driven felt awesome around corners. Better than my 172, really. All down to personal preference though!

106 has the same rear suspension setup as the 306. As for the Williams being 'ragged', bullshit. They'll be driven as hard as any other hot hatch, it's just they're slightly older.

If it is a write-off. Pm me a price for your gearbox! ;)

Unlucky, and fair f**king play to the fella who left his details. Accidents happen, and it would've been all to easy for him to leave your car like that and he would've probably never been seen again. Top man, imo.

I'm not sure on a 172, but on my old car, i just whacked loads of old rag around it, to soak up any leaking petrol, and undid. Worked fine.

Phreebones. Looked good.

Re: My 182, six months of ownership in words and pics Awesome. Love it.

Nice one.

Where do I find my chassis number? Stamped somewhere under the bonnet?

Silver for me.

Both parked in Leapale road carpark, last night. '03 plate 172, looking good, if not a little dirty! RB 182 with stripes, looking immaculate. Monkey on the dash- win. Anyone?

I've only just seen this thread. Jeeeeeeeesus!

Depends on which ones are on the way out!

More than possible. That'd rule the gearbox out (which is good news). Possible wheel bearing? Or driveshaft? I'd have it jacked up and check all the wheels for play. Any movement that shouldn't be there would point the finger at the wheel bearings.

Awesome!
