Nice motor. I like that colour.

Just got some Wheel Cleaner, Interior Shampoo & some Bumper Care at lunch. Wanted soem alloy wheel seal, but like normal they didn't have any.

Sainsbury's superleaded for me in Megane. V-Power in the bike. The cheapest stuff I can find for the Mondeo, (normally Sainsbury's again). Used normal leaded in both the 172 and Megane, did notice it in the 172.

It ain't ever going to pass a MOT like it, so I'd just raise it. It just seem so silly to have a car you can't actually use safely. I wouldn't drive that on the motorway like that.

Won't do it no harm getting a bit more protection. Some paste waxes can be layered nicely. I normally wax the car once 4 or 6 weeks, but always use a good quick detailer after washing the car anyway.

If it's a broker they always seem to send the renewal in there own insurnance policy. Had the same with my bike with Motorcycle Direct, they wanted £450TPFT this year up from £290 last year. Managed to get it for £300 fully comp in the end.

I had an ITG panel in my 172 and also have in the Megane. Don't like induction kits, plus they just stuck in hot air if not enclosed. Pipercross are very good filters too.

I normally wait untill I wash it the week after, then add some wax. Plus I've had enough by the time the EGP comes out.

I think the tax is around £210 at the moment going up to £260 next year. Aux belt due at 36k and cambelt is 5 years or 72k. 182's are pretty much the same over than the manifold & exhausts, so abit more power. I'd stretch to a 182 if you can, as you get cruise as standard and better...

Servicing is the same, so I'd go for which one you prefer. I'd personally liked the Ph2 due to toys and looks, I had a 53 plate 172 for nearly 3 years and would of had a 182 if I had the money.

Ph1 cheaper to buy and very slightly to run, but I still couldn't live with that interior and front-end. Plus I'd still rather have a 53 reg car other an X-reg car. All down to your bugdet and which you prefer at the end of the day.

Remap would be a good start. IIRC, Paul at RS Tuning said they remap very well and had one at 205bhp

Nothing on the Megane other than getting rid of those dam swirls in the paintwork. Mondeo, slight juddering clutch and abit high, new tyres all-round, new osf bush, new front brakes and a oil & filter change. I'll do them when the car stops and I have to.

A few have had this trouble, not use if it was something to do with the ABS unit having air trapped. I'm sure someone on here will tell you

If you want sell £6-6.5k, would get it gone in the current market.

I remember seeing Justin in his first 172 on the ring rd a few years ago, while driving 'The probert's' car. He didn't hang about then. lol

Look like a nice example. Splitter looks good too, looks standard.

Low 40's is pretty easy going on the motorway for 172's. Even crusing at 90, will still return 35mpg and thats more than the Megane at 70.

What a bargain. Was that with the subframes also? I'd stick them in your car, then take them out and sell them seperately when you sell the car. They'll be worth good money for a good while yet.

The black wheels and vents ruin it.

Looking good that!

Seems a great deal if straight. If he wants to sell the car quickly, it's not too far underprice of most others are normally up for around £6k.

Welcome. Where did you buy your 182 from?

I think that may of been a 1.6 resprayed

lol Cars that look like that never have power, so it does match the looks and sounds.

I've had the same thing with PH's. Had to do a new advert.

A very nice example that. Don't see many about and ones I do see haven't been looked after.

Worst colour out there imo. Seen a 225 in that colour before I bought mine, it just looks like a flat black really.

Spotted out Brislington today. One of the nicest R27's i've seen, with the RenaultSport kit on it.

I loved my 172 and they are still excellent cars, but times have moved on. Plus i'd rather have warranty
