yea i was told by the previous owner of my car that the ESP button was also sportmode and if held for so many seconds it kicks in. !
no that line didnt sell me the car i was after another 172 and it was a nice one .
the 172 i recently bought is in need of a new aux belt, the one that the previous owner had fitted cost £17.36 ( just for the belt) i have the recipets im going off !
and now the tensioner wont handle the belt or sommat like that the mechanic said so now im paying £100 + for the proper kit from...
hi i aint sure if the tensioner was changed at the same time both belts was fitted in december and i purchased the car on jan 5th, my dad used to be a mechanic and my step dad also said the belt is loose, a garage had also said this. it could well be the tensioner im going getting it booked in...
my aux belt has come loose and is affecting my steering as well as screeching when driving. i took it back to the place who fitted both belts in december and he is not willing to fix it even tho the belt as come loose only 5 weeks after fitting it !! he says because i purchased the belt...
fink they came on a 52 onwards plate .
i have this tho tbh when is it on ? when u press it and the light comes on is that when it works? when does it flash then when the light is off and its being used? sorry lol sounds irish lol but my last 172 was a 02 and i never had ESP before.
i have a full powerflow system so i would say yes i can feel a big difference from my previous 172 which was standard tho my current car is also chipped with induction kit also.... not too sure how much bhp im gettin tho tbh

i wouldnt worry bout it mate.

I will keep looking it is a FF 182 im after in racing blue.
any dealer will do trade wise doesnt have to be a main dealership.
i totally didnt even think of the 55 plate and warrenty tho like you said there arnt many about.
thanks guys :)
would rather get from a dealer.. i know it cost a little more but i have always bought private and ended up with either a write-off or faults with car after getting it home.
Without getting robbed too much i just wanted a guide of what i shouldnt pay over from a dealer for a 182 with both cup...
Im shopping around for a 182 with cup packs, Racing blue the only colour i want.. tho i would consider black as a 2nd, i want approx 54/ 05 reg and less than 50k on clock. i want a clean example.
how much should i be looking at paying?
advice welcome,
thanks for the comments guys and girls. i hope to add a very nice clio sport sticker soon when i order it. !!
yeah i agree the silver 172 with carbon bonnet aint nice, it dont sound nice either the driver is a total loon driving like a boy racer !!
i dont know the previous owner wantd to ruin it with 182 gearboxes etc.. he didnt have a clue what he was doing thats when i got a bargain and put it right
