160miles!! Jeez, that musta been a hell of a ragging session Tom! :D

On my 2nd. 03 plate 172 04 plate 182

I get about 320ish I think. Thats 30/40/60/motorway driving. If I took it easier on the motorway Im sure I d get a few more miles, but I tend to stick the cruise control on at 88mph.

Hey, welcome to our home. What colour did you go for? Did you get the spoiler pack as well as the suspension? Ive had my 182 for about 10days and covered 1500miles near enough.

Has to be said. but why not consider a 350z? ie if he has the 25k needed for a V6, why not stay with the japenese and pick up a nice v6, rwd, 4 seater?

Theres no extra power from pressing it past the "kickdown" point as you describe it. I cant believe no one uses the search :( Its been discussed SOOOO many times!

250/month over 5yrs (unsecured bank loan) 650/yr None, Company pays ALL fuel ;) (about 150/week, 1200miles)

there is no current mpg on 172/182. oh, and ENJOY :D

Think about it another way. The light is ON as a warning, therefore when it flashes and esp is working, then its warning you that you are slipping. Therefore the light on is warning you that you are (in theory) more likely to slide.

no disrespect JPW, but youve not been around as long as others, yet you seem adament that youre right. How about accepting that others no better.

Yes, that last 1cm makes no difference in "petrol power". So it doesnt change the acceleration etc, it is simply a switch to disengage the cruise control. Hence its always there, its not "activated" as such by having the cruise control on. Its on all of the 172/182/cup becuase they use the...

best bet, is get down to a breakers yard for the airbox. Prolly only cost ya a fiver at most.

AndyG, In normal "speed holding" cruise control you can use the "normal accelerator" travel to increase speed. But in speed limiting mode (light is red) then you have to go past the hesitant point to override the speed limiter etc. Ive now covered 1000miles in my 6day old car and loving...

Luckily the company pays for my fuel ;) Hence I no longer wince with pain when I fill to the brim with Optimax.

I hit 1000miles today. Not bad for a car that I only got on saturday. I worked out that 1000/144hrs (time Ive owned car) = 6.9mph average! http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1090568364__46M70012.jpg

Exactly, so I was right.

Its blue one side, yellow the other (at least it is on mine) But Im sure the blue/yellow bits are the handbrake cables.

£8000 for a mk1?!? You can get mk2s for that, I think there were a few in the For Sale forum.

TDO = Track Day Organiser

Yup, both the same, just different badging.

There isnt one. Although some people do request an oil change.

lol, at all this guessing. Someone with Dialogys needs to check and it may have a description?

lol, itll be 750 by end of day. 1150 by end of Friday, plus whatever I do on the weekend.

lol, sounds like me last friday!!! Ive had mine since 9am Saturday and love it. 550miles so far.

Mine seems ok, and I love it!! Its sooo cool for motorway cruising, or even setting it at 30 for speed camera avoiding. :) Im sure it helps fuel consumption too if you use it to speed up/slow down by watching the road ahead etc.

"Shouldnt" be any problems. As long as its an EU car, it will still have 3yr warranty and normal servicing.

No, it is ON unless you turn it OFF in which case the light on the dash illuminates.

Im sure youll let us know as soon as its out Tom :D

Hey, welcome to the mad house. Enjoy your stay!
