Just come from a 2 now in a 1. apart from the styling (excluding front) being better on 2, i think the 1 is the better all rounder. It just seems to feel better to drive, and the interior although dated is better nailed together. Plus the Mk1 is a rarer sight and it is the original!!! Just...

chances are the dust will have pited into the lacquer and therefore be pretty difficult to remove. Apply the ww to a dry wheel and agitate with a stiffish brush and leave. Then wash off with washing up liquid is hot water - hot as you can handle. May be better doing it a few times. Once...

cheers. what do you drive?

was the reading from 1st backed up by the fuel gauge? if not then deffo seems like the calculations have been messed up somehow...i would wait and see how it goes rather than have reno mess with the electrics!!

Warm air is less dense than cool air. As warm air expends, you will get less oxygen in a given volume compared to cold. This will then produce a smaller exposion and therefore develop less power. The idea of a replacement filter is to off less restriction to air flow. As the conical filters...

hi, where does your level sit when cold? mine seems to be between the two marks - which i know is okay. does anyone top theirs up? thanks

company called chips away - they can air brush em out!! or try touching up using a cocktail stick as the applicator. problem down to 1 they colour black being a soft coloer, silver being hard., but mainliy car manufacturers are under increasing pressure to cut their voc emissions, ans as a...

Well I dunno. My last car, a MK2 172 stopped at 64 This one 70 ish (MK1) May be due to sight differenced in the rolling circumference of the wheel OR The mk1 is the best in the whole wide world MMM think its the latter!! Mmwuaahaahaa

Plus new clio is out soon, so you wont have the latest for long, and likley to lose a lot more with the new 182.

clio reach in second before the rev limiter kicks in, according to mine its about 69/70

All sounds good but there will be other considerations...can the driveshafts cope, is there enogh room in the bay...not much at the moment. is the shell able to cope with increase in torque and power, or will it rip it apart, seen this on a gte turbo. Brakes good enough? etc etc Another...

Just got my mk1 172 and just wondering if anyone can tell me about the their engine temp dislpay. I ve noticed that when cruising it sits on the notch below middle. When idling it may creep to middle. Also when driving hard, if operatetes from just below the middle to the middle. Where does...

cheaper for a rebuild of your own - you could even go 2 litre

they look w**k

the mk1 i have is more responsive than the 2 i had, but then its got slightly more miles. Im not just saying it but i think the mk1 interior is better put together, I see Rhys had a bit of trouble bit this is great, think you better just look around for a mintbox - there are some out there...

hiya mate, just done that myself. I came from an 02 mk2 with 16k on the clock, sold it for 9 grand and bought an absolute mintbox 1 owner xreg 2001 with 21k for 7250!! £1750 smokes in the bank!! I honestly prefer the mk1 ...seriously..the interior is more dated but less rattly. the car feels...

peugot poo

Hi all, I own a 22k mk 1 172 on an x reg - 2001 I want a few subtle mods so i have a couple of questions if someone can help me out? I would like an induction kit - what is the best and how much? Also can anyone recommend an exhaust - nice twin pipe fitting clos to bumper - not too big...

£150 - wtf, you gotta be kiddin!! without wanting to sound smug, mines done 22K - the first owner put rubber mats over the fronts so syill like new. was gonna take em of, but at 150 smokes a set i will leave em in!! - they are sh*t quality anyway 150 - i cant beleive it!!

I have had many cars and IMHO I have summarised my opinions of the brands ive had, they are all performance models ive had and obviousley generalised comments. Audi: Cant fault em BMW - heavy, slow ( unless larger engine ) uneconomical - but provide relaxed driving with that bit of prestige...
