hey disco a know that road am from stirling area aswel. one of ma mates just about lost control there in a corsa a few years back due to the same thing
you would think to be patient especially on a blind corner
what do you drive colour
hey a was driving home last night and noticed the rear wiper was only going 3/4 of the way on the window,
so a pulled over and looked at it noticed the small cap thing was out a bit
so a gave it a little hit to push it back in then my full wiper fell off in my hand which a was annoyed...
hey man sorry to hear about your bad news
same thing happend to ma mate in a mk2 golf gti a priest pulled out on him on a dual carrigeway accepted responsibility, his car was in mint condition.
anyway insurance offered him £1000 for his he knocked it back and found cars the same age for...
go with velcro a have and put a screw and a holding bracket on the black metal bit behind the seats

well ma mate has had 3 seprate 1.6s and before a had the 172 it felt fast. virtually no body roll on standard suspension really impressive only thing that slowed him down was tires.
he has now got an mi-16 conversion and it blows away everything just about and still handles good with all that...
a must be lucky aswell the only noise that drives me crazy is the sort of thumping noise when it wheel spins so tend not to do it so often. but its hard when its -2 degrees in stirling.

where did you get your insurance fom really intersted
19 when got a 172 and was £1400 after spreading payments over 10 month
ma gearbox gaiter came out of position the other day. just wondering if its happened to anyone else and how much it would cost to fix?
just pushed it in so it doesnt move about but its not a long term solution
same at forth road bridge, about 8 cars at one time race to get to the first two lanes of the bridge, awesome fun sort of demolition derby esk
tried that once it was good fun with ma 172 and ma pal in his crx vtec was wall good clean fun
a have got continental sports on (came with the car) and was not to confident while coming off corners it just wanted to understeer. a just want a tire that will have the grip when a feel in the mood for some fun
just wondering what tires yous have all got, reason is my 172 is needing a new set and not sure what to buy.
my mates uses eagle f1s and swears by them but was thinking about the michellins that come on the 182 seen as they were developed for that car.
but would they be good on mine?
am think they are god but mine dont come on very often the key is after you wash your car put rain-ex or window wizard or stuff like that and the water turns into wee beads and cause they are to wee it does not activate the sensors.
the rear smart wiper is still highly irritating
start off with taking it to a few dealers and ask what sort of price you would get for a trade in, then look up parkers handbook from most petrol stations and that will give you a rough idea of money you will be able to spend on a new car.
well a went to a renault dealer and they were trying to push for £8500
for one with similar miles, but this was needing some tlc as the back passengers wing had a dent and above the back passengers window was touch up paint. if its a clean car a reckon you would be able to get somewhere near...
