Maybe the poor guy was born with 4 arms? :p

Mines a 2000 172 and I have a shift light :o

22, 2000 mk1 172

Ive got a 2000 172, 43k miles. Seats are fine, so is the gear knob and so is the rest of the interior. Only thing thats worn is the steering wheel. In need of some leather conditioner me thinks :cry:

Most important thing to check is to see if its had a new exhaust. They like to drop off at the 40k mile mark. Was warned about this and then at 40,200 miles, mine fell off. At 43k it should have been changed already.

Where do you buy your petrol from? NASA?? ;) As has been said, 95 RON is fine, always use Optimax in mine though. I feel bad if I have to use 95 RON :oops:

I dont notice any difference in performance whatsoever when I turn the air con on. Starts guzzling the petrol though

Ive had 52 mpg from a 70 mile journey before. Driving like my grandmother. Got 45 mpg the other week from a 220 miles journey with the air con on all the time. Again, driving a bit like grandma

S reg Ford fiesta 1.4

EVO subscribtion And very occasionally any other mag I see with an interesting feature/group test etc in it.

Driven 220 miles over the last couple of days, with the air con on virtually all the time (damn this weather, turns the car into an oven). And got 45mpg :) Which isnt too bad!

2000 X reg. Just coming up to 43k. Running very sweet :D

What?? I think its too big. Wish it was a bit smaller

2000 X reg - 40,000 miles

Had a guy in a brand new golf GTi wave at me the other day, which confused me a little :confused: I dont actively wave at other Renaultsport owners, but if they wave at me, Ill wave back :cool:

The photo is real, but obviously thats not from everyday driving, I cheated. Reseted it, put car into 5th and rolled down a hill - 99.9mpg :oops:

Agreed, the cars performance will hardly change at all, unless something is seriously wrong with it. Its how you feel ;)

An Iceburg Silver mk1 172, now thats a rare car

Check it out http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v51/Steve2004/Clio/99.jpg :p

Apparently so.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v51/Steve2004/Clio/clio.jpg

There will be no fiesta RS. Ford lost too much money (about £4k a car) on the focus RS and the same will happen with the fiesta RS if made. Not enough interest in the European market. Shame really. As for the ST, just seems like a slower, slightly cheaper to own 182 to me. Looks nice, the...

S reg 1.4 fiesta zetec. Sold it to me bro and then bought my current 172 :D

So the car turns over but doesnt start? I had this problem, might be your immobiliser!

A very small number of them do, like mine :@

They dont do these anymore do they? About your rev limiter, its because its cold, I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. Engine just needs time to warm up properly, then the limiter gets raised automatically to 7.2k :D

I quite enjoy being the passenger for some reason, letting someone else drive it. Would like to see it driven around with me out of the car, so I can see how sweet it looks :cool: Only let people drive it if they are insured though (and if I trust them ;))

If its this, how do I go about fixing it?
