Yep phase 2 grill is better although yours looks like its been sprayed blue should be black and i would keep the wheels they look great.

If your buying one get the other and ill pay you for it, i dont trust ebay to bid myself

I have a boxer dog that just loves footballs, for some reasone whenever kids are out on the front playing near the cars he seems to escape the premises and get the ball. We have at last count 14 full size footballs torn to shreds on the back yard. The kids are gradually getting the message. I...

Cliopower What are you on about? They will be offering me £300 for compensation. i have paid money for the car the car is on my drive and it belongs to me. How can it be the property of my insurance company they gave me the figure they wanted to buy the car back which was low because it costs...

New development, The area manager at the head office in chesterfield is now going to meet with me on monday at the mansfield branch of GK Ford and try to get this resolved he partially agrees that its their responsibilty assuming the checklist they do says that the exhaust was on the car when...

I doubt they even know what it is otherwise they would have taken the centre section. They will probably tigg weld/bodge it onto a rover/ford or some sh*t, I might check ebay though

Trouble is the police instructed Burrows of Huthwaite to remove the car as it was blocking the carrige way then it was transfered by my insurance company Liverpool and victoria to GK Ford. At everystage i warned everyone that i was buying the car back and not to remove stuff from the car. I even...

While my car was in storage at GK Ford Mansfield, one of the toe rags who works there has nicked my brand new k-tec K5 Backbox and left the centre section. The f**kers only nicked my alloy centre caps last year when the other valver was in there for damage inspection. The insurance co wrote off...

Your mising the point of the initial post surely a 1.9 diesel turbo is not the same forced air as a petrol turbo. the power delivery is completely different. The diesel will feel very torquey at low revs and punch you away from standstill but will run out of puff very quickly. petrol and...

that doesnt normally bring the abs light on though its normally SERV and the airbag symbol.

Its always worth going in gove em some sh*t they diserve it reduce them to tears if you can. At the end of the day you have paid for the privledge. They might build these french rockets on wheels a little better if we all complain together

The Valver eventually got evaluated at GK ford, they recon its gonna cost 2.5k to repair so its a right off, most probably gonna buy the car back off the insurance. Does anyone want it cheap in tact? It was near perfect prior to the crash. The only damage is front bumper, bonnet, slam panel...

Yawn, what a bunch of gayboys its a rattle and a squeek for f**k sake thrash the pants of it trust me you will forget about the rattles.

Daft question can you get the lid off the housing to get at the filter. I fitted my viper and can see the element if i disconect the pipe but cant seem to budge the lid, it spins round but wont come off, i dont want to break it.

Trust me m8 the whole front end has been pushed back alot further than yours , and the chasis is twisted it would need jiging back into position and think the suspension is fooked. No chip no cams fully standard, the oem manifold heatshield fell off and melted all my cables so i made my own...

I hope it is written off i dont want it back now after that, the airbag didnt fire which is a bit worrying my b**tard neck is killing me this morning didnt hurt at all after the accident i felt fine all be it a bit sick from the shock.:(

Valver No. 2 has met a traggic death, some bloke decided to pull out infront of me in the wet nothing i could do to avoid him - frontal impact I might be buying the car back off the insurance when they write it off so a few of the members can benefit, everything seems to work engine still...

Well even pre war fords will be as reliable ;) get a willy or a valver thats slightly fettled just as quick bomb proof reliablity

mine doesnt and never has not sure about the others, cant see as it should make a difference what phase though

Consistancy of opinions then? ;)

Where you from? youth and all rate etc are commonly used terminology where i come from, but im east midlands not north.

Ed, you dont wear a helmet? although i think i will be doing next time:confused: anyone heard about the 80mh speed limit they are ment to be imposing on germany even on public toll roads etc? [Edited by Scribbler on 04 September 2004 at 11:43am]

I had a mk2 172 in titanium silver its no way as good as the exclusive. Before anyone flames me i am in the unique position of owning both so can be unbiased and the mk1 exclusive is loads better. Lighter faster etc. It had BBS Alloys. im sure the bonnet isnt heavier as its the same part no...

thats probably something to do with the fact that they are a proper limited edition which will remain unmolested and never to have 2 more releases diluting the fact that its limited unlike the williams/cup and v6 Also runs and hides:D Seriously though i was offered 9.5k for mine the...

its a diesel shouldnt it be pulling agricultural eqipment;)

I was talking to rpm as he was pdi checking it for you at his garage, was everything there m8? i asked him the usual like the front splitter an boot net etc stuff that they all miss off. I asked him if you ha the cup pack and he said they were fitted, whats it like i might be buying on off him...

Yeah he drove mine round aswell got it airborne a few times while explaining the finer points oh heal toe and left foot braking. He must be able to do the track blind folded as he was facing me and talking to me most of the way which was very un nearving. :)

Dont have a dremel type thing so whats the easiest wayof polishing the aluminium manifold on the 172. Just want to get rid of the pits and oxydisation and then rub down with autosol. Would a small orbital sander be ok and then some wire wool? I have just sprayed the plastic plenum cover...
