Nonsence. I can average 50+ on a 25 mile commute to Glasgow on 18 miles of hilly A roads and 7 miles of congested town driving. Even got 55mpg once on the way to a cliosport meet at the otherside of Glasgow ;)

Its his car, his money... if he wants a car that looks like a sport then why not? If its done properly then it will look the nuts! And anyone who says a good rep looks s**t then you'd better sell your car becasue it also looks s**t!! If you dont drive it fast, then noone will know the...

Wasnt this what MATTBLACK had in his car?

Makes me miss my ph1 :(

These are rather nice I think. My sister's boyfriend wants to get one when he replaces his car next year.

Probably better then a Clio ;) However its not the most ergonomically sound design that I've seen. The heater controls are awkwardly low down on the centre console and my sat nav connection sticks out and up infront of the heater selection knob which further reduces ease of use. I might get a...

Sporthatch is too cramped inside and reversing is like looking out a letter box, does handle a bit better though. And 18s are a must! Should be getting 200bhp and 320lbs/ft. Fancy getting it lowered on Eibach springs and a Simota IK too. Probably leave it at that.

Yeah this is what MOFO should have got. And yes, its a 150 model, soon to be 200 ;)

Possibley need oil and air filter change? Common issue with a smokey diesel. I have to Agree with Ally on most points here I think. Diesel has its place. Get it re-mapped to 200bhp/320lbs ft it would probably lose a 1*2 I think. Atleast it would be "interesting". My Astra pulls pretty...

Spent a bit of time detailing the Astra and since it was a nice day took it for a drive and got some pics. Hope you likey.

Looks good Ally, love the front of your car... looks mean.

Looks mint, nice shine off the paint work.

Everytime I was my car I take it to the end of the road and back just to get the rust off lol hate that rust, looks awful

Was gonna say, still a bit steep I think.

If your doing motorway miles you shoulda got the 1.9 CDTi 150. Get it Green Boxed to 200 brake/320lbsft torque. Plus 55mpg. Mine shifts and it hasnt been boxed yet.

Not a bad wee quote that. I was paying £550 a ywear on my 1.2 clio, got the astra and my insuracne company said that I would be charged an extra £240 over the last 5 months of my policy, great i thought, only an extra 50 bucks a month, I can live with that.... paid my usual amount for anther...

Seen a few... Black 172 with a big Cliosport sticker on the rear windscreen. Arctic blue 182 and I think a silver 172 aswell.

If I'd known we could get a discount I would have waited and put my order in another time lol.

Reno are ghey, it took me 4 trips to a garage and myself to point to a leak in the power steering pump which the mechanic couldnt see yet I could put my hand on it whithout looking. Lesson learnt, dont go to Reno.

agere both are ghey. which is why i had one for 2 years.

I can block 10 numbers on my phone.

If someone blocked your number on theyre phone so its stops you calling them... does it say "call ended" or something similar on your phone before it rings?

Think I saw you on Springkerse road the other night around 5ish, earlier this week, can't mind exactly what day probably monday or wednesday. It was certainly a Silver 172.

Obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.

I thought it was nearer 11 gallons too but the tank in my Astra is 52litres/11.4gallons and costs me 50 bucks to fill compared to 35 in the clio.

I'm currently with Liverpool Victoria who are good (even with sorting out my claim very quickly and gave me a handsome payout too... £500 more than i paid for the car) but wont insure your modded car.

Mine was on 87k when I traded it in last week which was in sound condition. Only had power steering pump at 45k, rear brake cylinders and cv gaitor replaced at one of its services, cant remember mileage and cambelt done at 65k(ish). Car was 2001 mk2 ph1 1.2 16v Sport. I think Martin89 had an...

60mpg no bother ;)

Need some help folks. Trying to log into another forum I use for my Astra but I get a window saying "In order to accept POST request originating from this domain, the admin must add this domain to the whitelist". Anyone know what this is? Get this at home and at work so I guess its website...

Astra was £12888, managed to squeeze £1500 for the clio out of the salesman and a set of £45 Vauxhall mats. Will stick some pics up of the Astra when I pick it up.
