I'm going for it in the morning, not much traffic when we get up.

What about me? I fit in the Grandad category too.

Keep it as a spare, then put it on when you get stuck.

Yours isn't a 1.2 though Ben. I've used budgets on "normal" cars for 22 years. Oh and they last twice as long as premium tyres IME. Each to their own.

Where did you get them from, they sound great.:drunk:

I use about ten car forums and this is the only one where people are so hung up on tyres. I really find it hilarious. OP it's a 1.2, do what millions of people in this country do. Go to your local tyre dealer and see what they recommend.

Dave can you imagine when you sell the dog kennel. Can just see the thread now. Hi, my name's ...... I've just bought a 172 from a member off here called DaveDreads, can anyone tell me anything about the car?:cry:

I'm all for using traders where possible. However being selfish, for me it's just down the road, £30 and what they offer is really good.

Wheel bearing?

Definitely idle or drove all day in 2nd gear lol. I can get 16mpg on a track day round Donny.

I love them both but a bit of friendly banter doesn't hurt. Plus I had to stick up for mine.:cheers:

Ph1? Are those the ones that people change the dash and rear lights to the better, later Ph2?:rasp:

Edit : Local. (Chip, MWM, 519, Diamond etc aren't local enough)

Fred will be doing mine this month. Wouldn't let anyone else touch it.

If your screw goes in the wheel's thread without the centre cap, then I would presume the problem is the centre cap. Does it fit flush to the wheel before you put the screw in?

Yeah add an extra 0 on the price

No, was still the standard 1.8. But with a lot of work done. Bodies, removed VVT and changed cams, serious head work etc.

Mate of mine has a BRM. Factory is 143bhp, his is dyno'd 200bhp N/A so yes great engine to tune. MLS head gasket and incar remote stat is recommended.

Proper engines

Think the old man's Mk1 BDG was gallons to the mile:cry:

Could be tempted with a roadtrip.

Totally agree if you want to do it, then it's worth it.

Fred's back now, i'd just let him look at it. Could just be one of the things above, might not be a big bill.

Other thought was number plate sticky pads. Or try mastic or similar?

I take it they're 15s, I really like the wheels and looks good on the first pic but a little bit lost on the second one. Can't really tell properly though and like you say you like it and maybe going coilies. Ultimately if you're happy that's all that counts. Glad you posted the pics as I'm...

One nearest the bar is stiffest setting as it reduces flex.

B&Q, Wickes, Homebase etc.

You've seen the light, welcome aboard.:cheers:

Fair play mate, you should be really proud of yourself.

10 Orange mirrors lol?
