I'm debating between a late 182 or a Seat Ibiza Cupra TDi - I do 66 miles a day round trip (all motorway), but given the higher initial purchase price of the Ibiza, do you think it's worth me getting one? Can I really see 40 MPG from a 182 on the motorway?

Thanks - I will :)

Very nice indeed! Mine is due an upgrade - how much do you charge for your services Griff?

Rich, have you ever tried just Lime Prime then Supernatural V2 on one of your cars? You don't seem impressed by DodoJ, but I swear by SNv2, even over BoS.

You can use water with any clay as lube, but you are much better off using a QD, or just some diluted shampoo to prevent the clay from marking the paint. I thought the Dodo Juice clay came 2nd, and Zymol was about 7th?

Get the ST :) BTW, the tax is slightly more expensive in an ST than a 172/182, but t'is only £30 per year difference. Also, MPG is about 28-30 with some enthusiastic driving - it's about the same as a 182. It will do 40MPG easily if you take it easy on the motorway. Costs me £34 to 'fill' at...

I got them to hack my price upon Renewal - 20MB BB went from £37 to £22 IIRC

That's a Rotary - dangerous in the hands of a novice. Technically 'better' at correction, but you should go for a DA if it's your first machine, ideally.

You also get 7.5% off :) It's going to be great value for the money - will probably be as good as a G220. I think a few on DW have them and approve.

Still not very tight - are you using too much shampoo? Which shampoo are you using?

Problem is the new Kestral DA which is about £90 new - killing prices of used G220's and PC's. I suspect Megs will reduce the G220 price soon. I'd try eBay.

Get some Supernatural - decent step up from the £30 range Make sure you get some Lime Prime too :)

Looks sweet Are the Turini's 16's?

Bit of sample pack action here: http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=507

Oh, you will also need a vlookup too. Wanna email it to me and I'll do it for you?

That brush is okay but a little coarse. I'd also recommend an EZ Detail brush for cleaning the inner rim with the wheels still on, and a Swissvax Wheel face brush for the... faces of the wheels! :) The brush you have is also ideal for tyres.

Very easy - Data > Validation Then, change 'Source' to 'List' and type you entries into there, with a comma to separate them (Clio, Fiesta, Corsa) and it will only allow you/the user to enter something from the drop down. Also, remember to copy down the cell for your column range.

Just saw this on DW - excellent work! Jeff's stuff works really well on lighter colours!

SN doing its stuff there - you ordered it especially didn't you? What do you think of it? Be interesting to see what Dodo's QD is like, Dom is gunning for Z8, so should be good!! Lovely car!!

Megs G220 and some Dodo stuff - sort the paintwork out :)

I have tried most of them, and the Eurow ones are my favourites - as are their drying towels :)

How much do the Alcantara rear benches sell for?

A1 Wheel Renovations in Wolverhampton are the best: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=a1+wheel+wolverhampton&fb=1&view=text&latlng=4916695048621259736 Some may say Laptabs, but I have heard a fair few horror stories..

Some guy who lives near me has a 172 with anthracite Turini's and it looks superb - great colour comboage.

I recognise I should have bought a 1.6 Clio..........

If you have AG Fast Glass, this is the best way of removing SRP. APC - you can use any, Tesco sells a product called 'Daisy' which costs 65p for 1.5L, and can be diluted 10:1... ideal for wheels, arches, sills etc

180BHP I assume?

LOL at the cornering comments too - someone needs to show them a Trophy!

LOL at the ST owners on that forum - tis why I never go on them. Deluded fools!! Can't wait to get rid of my ST tbh...

Lots of factors though, like the fact that lots of ST's are being written off as they are driven by idiots, which would cause a rise on their premiums.
