After all the bad episodes people have suffered i thought i would mention the visit I had to Dutton James St Helens. Over the weekend it became apparent that what I had thought was a dash rattle was actually an exhaust rattle. I rang the dealership this morining who said they would look at the...

Well the cars managed 13700 miles and the 4k rattle/vibration has started becoming noticeable. Ive now realised the rattle in the dash (so i thought) was actually the beginning of the problem. The car is just over a yr old so I know i will have to make a contribution. Howmuch???? If I get a...

Why does the 172 have coloured brush marks all over various parts of the engine/ car. I think this is on all of them as i looked at a few before buying as i was paranoid that the first car i saw was a collection of spares from a scrapyard!! lol. Does anyones not have this????

Is it possible to replace just the backbox?? I noticed in the demontweeks catalogue thet have magnex backboxes for £179 or £329 cat back. Seeing as this saves £150 and im not that fussed about improved performance this could be worthwhile. Cheers Adam

Went to my local alloy wheel dealer. Hell give me £200 notes for my 172 rims. I thought this was a good deal considering they are slightly kerbed. Its gonna cost £300 notes for me to put Speedline Turinis on (16 inch.). Was gonna go for this but am having doubts. Isnt very original. Anyone...

Looking through my service handbook, I cant find a stamp for the pre delivary service. Also I dont seem to be able to find a place for one to go. Were should it be ??? This really important as the car is a uk originated car and I cant see anyway of proving this without the stamp????
