will be an arctic come next week, just think it may look nasty. might go oem

not sure, young lad driving though. Might see you about though sometimes see a monaco cup at sainsburys hereford

spotted on 12.03.12 at about 14.00, nice and the first time Ive seen one in the flesh

whats your thoughts on body coloured stitching on a 182 steering wheel? not sure myself, anybody got photos

think so I have got some spacing washers now to stop the struts catching on the suspension turrets as a starting point. we will see!

my brother drove his Fiat X19 less than 1/2 a mile in a small town to get work done on it for the mot, no tax no mot so therefore no insurance. He stalled and couldnt get it started on a roundabout 200 yards from the garage and a policewoman came to his aid - 6 points and a £300 fine!

nearly 33, got my Naples 16v as my first car at 25- slow starter! hopefully 182ff soon, 172 ph1 currently - offers?

yep last week, mine has stopped for the most part for some reason but I think it may be the top mounts catching on the turrets but not yet had daylight to look and confirm. easy fix if it is though. There is a guide on here somewhere.

couldnt agree more, some mornings in winter if I got in with a wet glove from de-icing it would freeze to the gear stick!

very weird this as it has all but stopped today, has saved me some fuel though coz Ive been driving cautiously like its going to help

Hmm I might be wrong but it sounds like its coming from lower down. I will have to have a look tomorrow. If I sit engine running and steer (to the right mostly) it grumbles as the power steering cuts in and I thought it sounded metallic. Thanks for the strut idea though,I think I will just do...

no its a bit more of a crunch/creak noise (almost like dry steering on gravel or ice) and a few times it sounded like a slight belt squeak, just weird that it disappeared so I went around the car park at work going lock to lock and it was fine but the later on it was back but not as severe. My...

My 172 has what I first thought was a knackered ps pump as it was grinding/crunching and sometimes a belt squeal near full lock or at car park speeds when turning. Today it seemed to have disappeared or nearly except the odd grinding noise near to full lock. One other theory was a loose aux...

I have some for a ph1 172, will they fit a 182ff and will they lower it much?

as in title, I sold it to someone called Andy from on here

thats what I thought- wheels filling the arches better but then they are surely the same overall circumference due to being a lower profile

having smugly looked at this yesterday thinking nothing! today my steering rack is making a crunch/squeal on full lock and feels like it is skidding from the drivers side :(

Im thinking 3k, depends what I can get for my 172 ph1 really

I have a 172 ph1 on eibach sportlines, will a 182FF be lower or appear loweron standard setup? I suppose the 16" wheels may have a say in it

very well put CaptainSlow, almost a Top Gear script that!

£600 off, not bad. I think if my 172 hadnt been so low mileage I wouldnt be in two minds...but arctic blue...

Ah thanks

does anyone else think Im mad swapping a ph1 172 for a 182FF? seems a fairly sensible move to me, might be wrong though

how do I contact him, where is he based?

I see what your saying about it being the same car but I will be dropping 3-4 years in age and I really fancy a change of colour/interior etc. get away from mt skinny massive steering wheel too

Living in the country makes owning a black car a pain in the arse, im sure my hunt will pay off eventually. Where else except ebay, pistonheads, autotrader can i look?

do you mind me asking what you paid/mileage etc? You see some for silly prices then others at too cheap to be true prices

Ive convinced myself i 'need' to swap my 172 ph 1 for a 182FF. Will I find that more become available as spring/summer starts as I dont seem to be finding the tidy example Im looking for. I wont accept a compromise and want an arctic blue or racing blue non cup but in standard form, no silly...

My logic was sell my ph1 on 65k for say 1500 put another 1500-2000 to it and get a newer lower mileage car in a colour i prefer....I think

I was hoping for 'Do it' you lot make bad salesmen, good for my pocket though:approve:
