Before i bought my Ph1 172 a month ago it got MOt and it failed on the offside coil spring,i was really impressed as its 7 years old with 45k on
Did you not get the advisory sheet with the car?
This is an old wives tale mate, people seem to think because this is the first car Vauxhall have designed thats small and just under 200bhp its going to be a disaster, it may not be "as good" but i wouldnt say its rubbish!
The only thing i could fault is the fact it has quite a high centre of...
Screw the planet,damage is too far done to do anything about it!
Doesnt matter if car tax is £210 or £2100, London will end up underwater and the chinese will invade Africa
I think the obvious thing would be to check insurance on both the Corsa and Clio.
All down to personal choice really think theres a few boys on here that have VXR's.
If it was the 197 or VXR i personally would probaly get the VXR, fuel consumption would be the saving grace (although it would...
look no further than Euro car parts.
Window regulator failed so needed a new one...
Renault - £203.78
Euro - £83.67 (thats including VAT)
Moral is renault are w*****s!
The VTS may only be a 1600cc but remember it weighs 935kg. There seriously quick, Citroen stated that it does 0-60 in 7.4, not a car to be sniffed at to be perfectly honest mate!
Soon s it revvs to 4k it goes like a scalded cat! Given my 172 is faster its not a million miles away!
I owned a VTS before i got my ph1 172 and fuel consumption isnt far away mate, I find i get between 33-39 mpg thats a whole mixture of driving, for what it is its really not that bad atall!
I loved the saxo but it was just too unreliable, the 172 isnt any Honda but it feels like a vts with a...
It seems apparent that Cooper S drivers seem to think that when i shoe the loud pedal nothing will happen that is until im 4 car lenghts in front.
Clio- 3
Cooper S- 0
When you say cut running costs what do yu mean exactly?
Unless you can justify paying so much for DIEsel and doing the mileage that would pay for itself kind of thing, i think you would have to be doing between 18-28k miles a year to say thats moneys well spent!
People seem to think DIEsels...
Remember mate a car privatley is only worth what the owner thinks its worth some sell for 6k other are really optimistic and sell for 8.5k
Hang off for now but you should be in good stead come the time
Dont think it matters mate im sure if theres anything pertruding the wiper (thats deemed to limit the drivers view) then its a fail.
I might be wrong, best asking them first i spose!
Good thread here, Im quite enthusiastic about my car (having been driving for only 4 years, and owned 2 renaults, 1 Honda, 1 Citroen) I really take care of my cars.
If im honest i love it, a car that weighs little over a ton shouldnt go as fast as it does but it does, and it does it well, sure...
I would say this much, having owned a VTEC civic i can bout for it being a b**ch, you have to have a Lead weighted shoe on your right foot to get the most out of it, espesh with the Civic Type R, unless you keep it screaming up past 5600rpm then you can forget it performance wise, great cars and...
