Is this right my local F1 garage has offered me - Mitchelin Exalto II re2 - for £64 each inc vat surely this is wrong i would have thought £90 at least per corner.
I Paid 9k for a 172 exclusive 1 year ago with just 5000miles on the clock its a 2002 reg some one offered me 9k for it the other day:D
Dont beleive the hype there are alteria motives for parkers pricing.
At the end of the day you car is only worth what some one else is willing to pay Parkers...
Get a 172 exclusive like mine all full leather BBS alloys lighter and faster than the phase 2 172 i had. I think im the only person to have both and can defo say the phase 1 is noticably quicker. It looks better at the front however the phase 2 has the better rear. Phase 1 alloys are much better...
Yes it was mine had the obligatory serv/airbag fault repaired and is coming back in on dare i say it "Friday the 13th" to have clutch & accelerator cable replaced + passenger grab handle for the third time!. I think the cables have melted from heat from the manifold, i dont know how that could...
God, make his head any bigger and it wont fit in his Clio cup!;)
Seriously though i think he needs an award for most helpful/knowledgable user with BenR up there aswell.
Trouble is its probably not the belt at fault the lower pulley that the belt runs on is sometimes a common problem mine went and caused a fair bit of damage so its worth getting that replaced if its the problem. I GOT MINE COVERED UNDER WARRENTY!
I feel bad about always fighting the opposite corner but someone has to say it.
The williams is for life not just christmas, all my friends who have digrees are on less money than me in tedious jobs some have firsts, 2.1s etc. Most of them owe huge amounts of debt and one owes nearly £10k...
Not to worry m8 there quite cheap, £75 i paid from gordon lamb then about £50-£100 to get it sprayed. at the very most your talking £200 in all. If he offered to pay then your ok. Try and look at it positively you will have a really shiny new bonnet free of stone chips;)
Picked the valver up from half way down the M1 at the motorway services insured it over the phone and got 139mph on the way home with a seat ibiza cubra sport chasing me for about 3 junctions. Highly iresponsible and gringe when i think about how dangerous it was but deep down i know id do it...

Probably not the best idea posting all your cars details on here but im desperate to find out a little about the cars identity...
So no decent cars were driven on the day then?
Surely a school run or sunday tesco shop would have been a better test for these cars. No disrespect but disused airfields and tracks should see a valver at the least 172 is king on these surfaces.
What were renault thinking? speaking of...
I smashed up my old valver and the engine was still a runner the car was written off but i bought it back from the insurance company for £75 and sold the bits for a massiv proffit. However for some reason no one wanted the engine that was perfect and still fired up. It only had 38k+ miles on the...
I had to travel from Notts to London to get mine they are more exclusive than the Williams hense the name. Hopefully they will retain the value aswell although i doubt it as they dont have the racing heritage.
