Mines up in October, and i'll be slamming 12 months on mine for the same reasons. We've all got to pay the higher prices eventually, but delaying it has to be a bonus!
Rev Limiter is variable dependant on oil temp/pressure. If you had been cruising on the M3 its likely your oil would be cooler, if you gave it a bit a few times, you'd soon see 7250rpm as usual.
I had my 172 three weeks when the Xenon Ballast gave up - £260.
Other than that, had it 9 months now, and normal wear and tear only. Exhaust Brackets, Brakes and washer jets, and thats it!
I got Brembo HC Discs and EBC Greens for £110 from Yozza and fitted them myself, easy way to save £100+ and better braking performance compared to standard.
(knows now the brake debate may begin)
I regularly see 330/340 miles from a full tank in my 172, thats from brimming it until the red light comes on, usually fill up within 5/10 miles once the red light is on....
Claim for whiplash, i have but be advised its a very long process, my crash was a year ago yesterday and i've still not recieved my compo. The 3rd party keep making poor offers so my case goes to court on Sept 17th, it can be a very long process, i've had to fill in a lot of forms and spent a...
Mine looks "melted" on the top, the thumb grips are in perfect condition, its almost like the top half of the wheel bcos its seen more of the sun than any other part, has reacted badly to it and almost blistered! Looks shite, and feels terrible. Mines a 53 Plate 172. I never thought of...
Sainsburys Super is only 97 Ron, but i've always run my 172 on it. Idling nots great on any 172, I had a tank of Tesco Super (which i think is 99) and it wasnt much better! Sainsburys is by the far the cheapest Super round here at 120.9p

I'll upgrade Vista to XP1 then, see if it works. The update is avaialble to download, just not done it yet.
Its a known issue with Vista only running at 3.6Gb.
The 400Mb are allocated to Graphics and other resource, but when you have seperate Graphics memory what really is the point ?!
I've got a Dell XPS M1530 too.
Had the 4Gb Ram, not much point tbh as Vista can only run at 3.6Gb!
Its a lovely bit of kit and love the biometric finger print reader.
Insurance baffles me! Whilst browsing around the other day i pulled out the following quotes for me, 26, 5 years + NCB, but 1 pending claim that wasnt my fault (liability has been accepted, ive been paid out, but my insurance havent recovered the costs yet)
172 - £462
Trophy - £581
Nissan 350z...
Are you sure ? You said you were TPFT earlier, Most insurance companies now wont insure you 3rd party only on other cars unless your 25 and fully comp, be careful there mate
I raced a V6 4 Motion over the weekend, their 204bhp IIRC, and I had the edge, they were on the power quicker, but i still managed to pull alongside and edge past, was a good race though, I could have carried so much more speed out of the roundabout and made a fool of the V6 but the Mrs was with me!
