Just picked up my Chloe 172 and love it!!! It's only done 36k and pulls really hard, it's awesome. In the corners it doesn't seem to feel as planted as my Saxo but it certainly grips very very well. One question is, driving home the service light came on (amber) and then went off. The airbag...

I'm in Telford, Shropshire. As it is on 36k, it needs a service too? *Cheers for the PM davo, i'll give them a bell :approve:

I thought if you gave the engine a hard time it was more likely to snap? I'm awaiting a response from Birchdown. I could do with it being done ASAP and in the Midlands as I don't want it snapping miles away from home.

Yeah I agree. I have another car so i'd leave it in the garage until cambelt change day and hope it didnt snap on the way there. I'll make sure it doesn't go over 3,000 revs driving it home lol

Does it say in the service book when the cambelt needs doing? I haven't actually collected the car yet and have only put a deposit down. The guy seemed adamant it was 72,000 when it needed doing.

Birchdown's website says £436 for both belts. Just sent them an email asking if they offer discount for CS paid members.

Do any places in the Midlands do discount for paid CS members?

What's a good price for having it done? I paid £3600 for it and most with the belts done are going for around £3900. It is a minter so I don't mind paying but don't really want to pay over £350 in all honesty.

Are four ashes any good? They are just down the road from me!

Hi there, I've got myself a black 2002 Clio 172 on 37,000 miles. It hasn't had a belt change yet. Is it easy to check the belt to see if it needs doing? I'm in the West Mids so if it does need doing, do any recommended garages do discount for CS members? Cheers.

I've scrapped the 182 idea, now looking for a late 172. How much is too much for a late 172. I have seen a few 03-53 with 40k on the clock for around £4500, overpriced? Cheers.

I want one now, my Saxo is falling apart lol

Why? What is happening then?

Hi Luke, i'm suffering the same dilema as you!! I'm umming and arrrring about if I should get a late 172 and pocket the change or get a 182. I'm willing to spend upto £5,000 but in all honesty I haven't found one that has had it's belt changed for this money. I'm after one in cup blue or...

The 182 is too much and the 172 has too many miles on it. I want under 50,000 if possible. :)

It's in very good condition, one owner from new. I'll try and get the link up in a bit. Are the service intervals every 12,000 for 172's?

I'm not going to go above £4500 so i'm probably best off looking for a last off the line 172. Is this one over priced? 2003/53 172, fsh, new belts, 50k miles, silver - £4195

Seen a 53 172, fsh, new belts, 50k miles, silver - £4195 Is this overpriced? Will it have cruise and traction control being a 53?

How much would it cost for an AUX belt change?

Hmm it's got a tiny MOT on it though. Risky?

There are a couple on autotrader around this price range but I doubt the belts have been done. I like the dual exhausts though :(

I'm hunting for an early 182 (2004) for around £4500, not too fussed about the cup packs, it'll handle well in FF form anyway won't it? Do you advise this or do you think or should I just look for a late 172?

Is it likely to be steep?

Hi there, I'm going to buy a 172 this week and i'm getting quotes of £900 from bell. I'm 20, 3 years license and 3 years ncb. Flux quoted me £1600. Will I be ok to go with bell, paying monthly and then when i'm 21 cancel it? Will I be charged etc it's just it drops to £550 with...

Great thanks. How much do the belts cost to do and when should they be done by? Cheers

Hi there guys, Looking at buying a 182 FF with both cup packs. I'm seeing mass variations in price. I've been looking at 2004/54 plate ones with arount 40-50k miles and seen them range from £4500 to £6000. Whats a good price for one of these? Also, how can you distinguish the cup packs...

I'm in St Georges mate. Quick question, is the suspension on the 182 FF + cup packs the same as the 172 cup? Cheers.

Whats everyones oppinion on the Simota induction kits?

I'm on the outskirts of Telford mate.

Why is the ITG filter so highly priced? Good gains?
