    Easy calculation: 88p per litre is £4.00 per gallon 20K @ 35mpg = £2285 20K @ 70mpg = £1140 OVER A GRAND SAVED IN JUST 20 000 MILES!

    ** a new Clio record **

    I missed Top Gear... ... but have done Advanced Driver Training (less gear changes etc.) and do a lot of bike time-trialling - max. speed without stopping at roundabouts!!

    ** a new Clio record **

    am I a sad sad b**tard? I got 795 miles from one tank of diesel! (computer said 74.5mpg, 10.7 gallons and bout 100 miles on orange light) this was a genuine 2 weeks of commuting (50mph single carriageway cross country) with a bit of motorway, bit of heavy traffic, passenger sometimes...

    182 the slowest

    traction control makes it quicker to 60 than Cup, but only fractionally slower to 100 (a length or so) + sharper handling than all previous cars!

    What a refreshing change!

    ditto - a good local garage is far better I had a 19 Turbo D that needed a cambelt! Reno Main Dealer - £490 "call it £500 the receptionist said!" Local French specialist - £255! (and a stamped book) main dealers are sh*te - as long as youve got a stamped book and receipt to show what...

    Serious dilemma

    and be able to put the Willy on limited mileage (4K?) garaged overnight insurance (add your Mum on insurance to bring it down again) it will cost next to nothing like that! WORK OUT ALL YOUR COSTS OVER 3 YEARS - 60K IN A 172 IS A TRUCK LOAD OF DEPRECIATION AND FUEL - 60K in a second hand dCi...

    Serious dilemma

    KEEP IT! and buy a dCi (start at 4K on e-bay) as an everyday car - they really arent that bad! @ 20K p.a., youll save a £1000 p.a on fuel + prolly £500 on insurance, tax etc. over a 172 and still have a mint Willys.

    you need to bed the engine hard

    defo agree: 2-5 miles v. easy (depending on how hot). increase revs gently (half max for min. 500 miles) vary revs - drive at 50 all day in 5th and youll f**k it up! having said that, Ive bought 2 ex-hire cars in the past (v.cheap) and they were sweet as a nut - prolly trashed from day...

    1.4 16v or Dci 80

    in the real world (mid range and overtaking) a dCi 80 is quicker than 1.4 16V and not far off a 1.6 I wouldnt swap for a 1.4 or 1.6 EVEN with a FREE fuel card for the Petrol!

    ** Motorshow £5 guide for FREE **

    at Motorshow Live yesterday! EXCELLENT: my tips: 1) buy a £5.00 guide (first PM for a FREE one!) cos the show is very spread out (indoors and out) and we must have walked 5 miles+. Outdoor stuff is not sign posted and accessed via Fire Doors between stands. The Security staff are...

    what car

    might be Clio-biased, but buy a 182 - even an 02 CTR will cost more than a new 182!
