car looks fabulous... wheels make it imo.....

if you havent got much money so spend i say keep it... also keep some money aside for things breaking.... no point in spunking your money on cars you can't afford. Keep it another year and try and save some money by keeping it standard and only doing things that need to be done on it. Come next...

flog it and get a vtr. im running round in one at the moment. for the money immensely entertaining to drive and theyre not as badly put together as people make out.

a stock ph2 172 with factory sat nav... i wouldn't be caught dead in that rainbow wreck

am i missing something :?

if they replaced the lower arm they should have replaced the ball joint.. becuase its a dealer only part on a 172 and comes only with a new ball joint.

check for the lug that goes through the quarter panel on the stock ones..

definitely fitted incorrectly if russ's fit like stock ones.. probs why its cracked.

no insurance companies don't know unless you say, even then you can claim you bought it without knowing it was cat d/c.

id have failed it.... made you pay for a retest... much better way of spending cash than sticking cr*p all over that clio....

my 1.4 was pants as well... the 1.6's seem much better. even though its the same engine essentially.

repair it.. get the rack 2nd hand and get a remanufactured drive shaft from gsf... and the rest new from gsf. Piece of pee pee to fit all done, no claim and a maximum of a couple of hundred quid down.

what happened then buddy?

the 316/318 in the e36 and e46 were a 4 cylinder as well and the 318tds. e36... and im assuming the 318 e90 is the same... (think current shape is called e90? or is that 5 series?)

definitely confront them, say i saw one of your staff driving the car and smoking in it, the car doesn't need to leave the premises for an mot. ask them to explain themselves.
