Useful feature isn't it, do you trust the sensor though? ;)

Unfortunately I'm now in Chelmsford during the week and Norwich weekends, might consider driving back for a curry and pint at 5.95 though ;) (is the curry any good, and more importantly will I get a naan bread in the price?)

Get out of drivers seat, close door. Walk around to passenger door, open door lean in and press central locking button on centre console. Close passenger door and lock with key. This is what I have to do with my 172 as for the last 6 months or so the alarm goes off randomly when I arm it :(

Had a prob with my 172 last night, it was for a period but then started misfiring and hesitating. It was prettyh obvious the car was running on 3 cylinders with the 4th firing but by no means properly, this resulted in some quite nasty backfiring and serious hesitation under load. I drove...

If he was indeed Asian then I think you are safe.

The answer to this is to park in a disabled space if there are plenty free, or failing that in the middle of two free spaces in one corner of the car park. Makes you look like a bit of a tosser but thats preferable to door dings imho.

Is that the case though? You see a lot of them going cheap because they have engine problems iirc.

He's ready to live his life a 1/4 mile at a time. :cool:

That picture of the Renault/Sport tailgate badge with the ph1 reflected is very nice. Who is the dude on the bike? If you don't know him he might not take too kindly to having his mug posted on an internet forum :)

I average around 40mpg in my 172 Cup, but to be fair I do about a 70/30 mix of out of town/town driving.

Pretty common on RS Clios I think, I had to have a new NSF spring at the last MOT.

Just thinking out loud here, but is the exhaust port spacing/bolt pattern the same between the F4R and F7P engines?

That sounds very steep, springs for that car are around £30 a side so what they are charging you for labour I really couldn't say!

Saw a silver 172 with dark grey/black wheels on Earlham road at around 12:00 today.

I think I've seen this around, don't think the drive is a club member.

Do you live around there or something? I've seen your car a few times now. Ben

Clio Coby heading away from Norwich on the B1332 at around 5pm this evening, pretty sure it was your car.

I bet he sat down and rubbed one out to his Vin Diesel poster after making that.

Overfuelling would show itself as fairly dense black smoke, white smoke with a blue tinge is most likely to be oil. Ben

They are blatantly talking rubbish, I've bought sump plugs from the Holden parts desk in Norwich before. Tp be honest I've never liked the vibe at that place though and wouldn't dream of letting them near my car for a service, have driven from Norwich to GDI for aux belt/oil service a couple of...

I primarily use vpower and average around 40mpg, which is a mix of about 60/40 countryside/city driving - I don't take it easy either, don't drive like a loon but tend to open it up when the conditions allow.

Polished the glass today and took advantage of the good lighting conditions to take a couple of pics with a Nikon D40 D-SLR:

Just spotted a 51 registered Silver 172 in Poringland Budgens, think I have seen it around a few times locally as well.

Near Kwik Fit? That really narrows it down :D

Saw a Cup 172 **53 last night through the traffic lights on the A140 by Harford Bridges Tesco. You overtook a couple of cars through the lights (one of which was an Audi A4 Avant which I was in) and then stayed on the A140 over the roundabout/junction of the A47. Car had a non-standard...

Sod the fact it looks w**k, Orbisoud exhausts sound superb.

Sounds like a 197 Cup?

Whats the suspension setup on that Cup? Looks good.

Just clocked up 55555 in my Cup. Did a 300 mile round trip in the pissing rain over the weekend, didn't skip a beat and returned 44mpg average. I really love this car, it is what it is - crap build quality, crap ride quality, crap residuals but such an involved and direct driving experience...

Sounds like this jord guy needs to lay off the roids for a bit!
