    I got a nice suprise today when i picked up my car from the dealer.. I booked the cup in to have it's rear brakes looked at today as the discs were well rusty & were making a grinding noise when braking. After reading on here i was convinced they wouldn't replace them under the warranty &...

    How fast is my 172 to 60?

    i got around 6.5 on my watch.. but then it's a little difficult to tell when it starts. So it's never gonna be very acurate.

    1st service 12000 or 18000???????

    I tend to change mine myself half way between service intervals. So i changed the oil in my old 1.2 after 9k or 1 year, then had it serviced at 18k or 2 years. Saying that i'd better see how many miles i've done in the cup... sure it'll be due a 6k oil change in the not to distant future...

    Another 172 cup, rear brake question

    Thats good to know MarkCup.. i was pretty sure 12k wasn't very much for rear disc & pads!!!! especially as it's never seen a track & i don't drive it particularily hard.. I'll see what they say tomorrow after giving them a ring.

    Another 172 cup, rear brake question

    I'll let you know ;-) Don't think i like my chances of winning that bet mind you! I'm banking on them being really helpful & replacing the discs & pads... whats my chances ...!? It's amazing how a car that hardly uses rear brakes (and the permanent rust on rear discs proves that!).... has...

    Another 172 cup, rear brake question

    The story goes... A week or so ago when braking i can hear a kind of grinding noise.. . The rear brake discs have been rusty for what seems like ever. Although it sounded like the grinding was coming from the front discs. I had a look at the pads (just from looking through the wheel spokes)...
