I don't think £10k is out of the realms of possibility as long as it's not on 160k. Find another 550i Sport Touring for sale in the same colour combi - unlikely. Price can be what you want to an extent.

Absolutely amazing, the perfect familt wagon. Mate of mine was in the market for one for about 6 months, but couldn't find one for sale (in the right condition). Bought a XF SV8 instead. How much is it going up for out of interest?

@Christopher. What do you want for it mate? Save able you reckon?

Yep, i wouldn't worry unless it's slipping etc. Captive nuts spinning isn't a big deal - you can get to them easily enough. In terms of additional jobs to do while you're at it, steering rack bushes, arb bushes and tie rods i'd do if they've never been done. Oh, valeo clutch only, and stick...

Oil change won't stop the crunch. Mechanical sympathy will stop it getting worse, but that's all.

Nope, me neither. ): My guesswork runs out at 182 end of production. lol I would bet on it not being the same though.

They used to be all the rage. Then boost took over - similar(ish) money, but 30bhp more.

Couple of bags of cement in the boot - perfect.

Meh, gearbox isn't pressurised anyway, so i just re-use the washer and nip it up. Never had one leak in about 30 changes.

LOL. SRS belt and braces, Captain Safety.

Nope. Photos don't sell the house. Agent could put the worst photos in the world up, people would still drive past and buy.

If your car is too low to get a trolley jack under, then no chance these will work. OP - either drive onto a couple of blocks of wood, or jack the rear up, stick an axle stand under the jacking points on the rear, drop jack, move jack to the front, then move the axle stand up front.

Absolute genius. Have a like.

Yep. Bleeding order above is correct. Always work from the furthest from the MC to the closest.

For the hassle involved, spend £20 or so on an Eezebleed kit IMO. Well worth the money for not having to pump the pedal.

@Scrooge is your man! Fair deal for everyone at £250 labour IMO.

Cooksports are too firm for me. I'm a Proline man, all the way. BTW, strut brace is on it's way to you today mate.

If it's seriously mint, I'd go up at £4k and take anything over £3250.. They're getting to the stage now where low mileage mint cars will start commanding top money. It won't sell overnight, but to the right person, it's worth the right money.

Nope, just slides under the window seal. Takes ten mins to fit.

Amazing - that is literally his car twin.

Haha. I'm now following this thread, because i know full well it'll be me that has to fix the thing. lol

Want a white 172? With cage etc? (; Will probably be more than £2k though.

Yep, correct as you have them Usually, writing faces the correct way up.

This. Alters the value massively unfortunately. Still a £1500 car to the right person, once cleaned up properly etc.

Lol. Whichever service engineer signed that off needs shooting.

It's a Clio, not a Veyron. You'll be fine. I've run 172 sheds in the past with different grades and they've been alright, lol

^The only known one. You could have someone with 11k miles on one already, it just hasn't come in for service yet.

Hahah! If they supply a car capable of those functions, then it should be able to be used. Trying to tell engineers that at McL when i worked there was fun. They just wouldn't accept that not everybody has the mechanical sympathy as the person who designed the system and wanted it to do well. lol.
