RE Big Iain:
No, but I do think people on here tend to live in a dream world when it comes to valuing their cars. I've said this before and I'll say it again now. 172's don't sell for what they should be worth. For some reason people just won't pay the proper prices and the sellers drop their...
Ph 2 sold for £3100. Still think your 2002 172 etc is worth £9k etc lol

5)fit new wheel

Yeah, I wouldn't mind an extended test drive in a meggy 225. If I was ever to buy one new, I'd need to know it's a happier ownership prospect than a 172 rather than just knowing it's great fun to drive for 15 minutes.
Possibly something like kitchen roll, or if you can get something more meaty like kimwipe (blue roll). Possibly try cleaning using this and a degreasant and then re-greasing all the mechanism once it's spotless.
Once again though, I work on aircraft and don't have specific knowledge of car...
Off the clock... that's something to aspire to. What I bet will really happen is about a year from now I'll buy a 2nd hand megane 225 for around £8k. I'm probably going to be buying my first house in the next year so spending loads of money on a car isn't really a sensible option. My last car...
