I'd guesstimate that the Mk4 will be 2012 with the Mk4 RS coming in early 2013 :)

Personally, I'd run it in. Even if it is on PCP, you still want your warranty to be honoured. The import centre may well have 'ragged it from cold', but for what...2 miles...maybe 5 max? Running in is 625 miles or 1000 kilometers. I ran mine in properly but then I've bought it so didn't...

Actually, just thinking about it...there are two further screws up underneath the controls I think...

The bottom two screws in your photos do nothing, as you say. If you've removed the two from the headunit aperture then the heater controls should be free to pull away. It is quite awkward and from what I remember (several years ago now) you need to push it down and then forward. There isn't a...

Selling it and buying a 200... :p

Are you selling it or buying it...? :S

Some good pics guys 'n' gals! Top marks to Ash and everyone involved in organising the meet! :D

The difference in the two will be spec level, electric mirrors, auto headlights etc etc. Out of the two, the Dynamique will be the better equipped model :)

God this thread is hard work... In my opinion, if you've got your heart set on it and can afford it, then go for it - you only live once! :) Ignore the "we got ours for 2p and a mars bar" brigade, so long as you're happy with the price then who cares! I'm with Gally <3

I am no more (or less) likely to crash than a female driver of the same age, driving record and no claims bonus though, that's the point I'm making Mike. They should base it on YOUR driving history, not generalise because you're a man/woman etc. How can they say I'm more likely to crash...

Get some 172 ph1 dials (they're white standard) and convert them to suit your ph2. I did it on my 182, have a search in media :)

Oh I know, statistics, that's all insurance companies ever band about. I'm male, 30 years old, never had a point or a crash, and yet I should pay more than a 30 year old woman with no points or crashes? I know what you're saying Mike, I really do, but when it's in context, it isn't fair...

Long overdue in my eyes. I mean, they wouldn't charge a different premium based on your name, so why should they on your sex? :S Risk factor is one thing, but women instantly paying 30-40% less than men purely because they're a woman? Can't believe they've got away with it for so long to...

Few DeWalt 24v SDS and Hitachi 18v hammer drill parts now listed on eBay. Drills, batteries, chargers and torches available. Will combine postage and/or meet within reason for buyers on here :)

It was organised over on 197/200.net so was always mainly going to be the Mk3's. It was never planned that way though, all are welcome at meets :)

Cheers fella, much appreciated :approve:

Have a look here mate. :)

Lol, safe to say we 'chavs' shall never return to that particular eating establishment! :eek:

A few more late comers :p Gaz - it said Chester on the Fat Nav. Maybe Cheshire would have been more accurate? ;)

Re: Today's NorthWest meet and drive at Demon Tweeks, North Wales! Some more pics for you to feast over... All the above pics are courtesy of Giles :D

Re: Today's NorthWest meet and drive at Demon Tweeks, North Wales! I blame Maz for the parking, she started it ;) More pics to follow, of a more organised shoot, just awaiting Giles to finish uploading then I will post them over. Can't say I saw any of those possible cars Mike, I did...

A few pics from today's 197/200.net meet down at Demon Tweeks. We then headed out for a bit of a drive and called at The Egerton Arms, Chester, for a late lunch :) Was a good meet and great to meet some new faces! All pics courtesy of Matt, AKA Gromb200...

Good point Mike, hadn't thought of that!

I'm adding it to the money he has (or will have) paid towards the car after three years. And you're right Mike, I ordered mine waaaay before all the PCP deals and discounts came in. Still I got it for a good price and am a happy Northerner ;)

£314 x 36 = £11304 £11304 + £2400 (dep & part ex) = £13704 If you add to that the optional purchase after three years £7635 + £13704 = £21339 Something doesn't quite work out, that's nearly £2000 more than the price you quote above. :S

You're paying £314 a month over three years on a PCP deal, with a GFV of £7635, is that right?

Just looking into this now, IBIS have some cheap deals at Wellingborough starting at £32 per double/twin room which is a good price! It's about 30/40 mins from Rockingham so not too far either. I've booked there :)

All the deals have changed, prices have gone up too so it's not fair to say that Rich has/hasn't been ripped off. Are you happy with the price you've paid Rich? That's the question you have to ask yourself. Price mine up and it comes to £19860...

Egertons Arms was good, strangely quiet really. But there were nine of us in total and it came to just over £150 so not too bad! It's nice there, just not too sure about some of the staff! :S Shame you couldn't make it Ash!
