Mk1 V6.

Yeah that noise makes sense, thanks. How do I go about cleaning the connector? it looks really small, I don't think I can get a wire brush on it, what else can I use? (assuming it's corroded etc)

I noticed a few days ago that the passenger side dipped beam doesn’t work, the bulb is new & only been in since June. When I touch the back of the light it makes a sort of electrical noise (like a motor noise) & the light comes on, the back of it (the black plastic plug part which I touched)...

Turini's all the way.

Me too. I'd get shot of it right away.

They look the business, nice work there.

I'm calling shenanigans!!

If you're doing the rear bumper you may as well put the phase 2 rear lights on too. Just an idea :)

If the dude sold that for £2K he must be bonkers!

How long till you move Mike ? I've still got to book mine in, I'm just waiting on the the dude to get the brakes for me.

Any non Renault ones imo, they aren't very good. They are expensive & wear out pretty quickly.

Your old 16v looks sweet, you don't see many around anymore, let alone any in Tungy Grey ? I still like the ph2 wheels (Speedline Vega's iirc ?) Your 172 looks really clean, will you be doing anything to it?

Autoglass wanted over £400 a few years ago. I got one for £250 elsewhere, new & fitted etc.

I saw it, the price is roughly the same as a seller on ebay. Thanks for telling me anyway.

OK cheers, I'll do that once I've done them (I've gotta buy the kit first though)

Have any of you sealed them afterwards ? if so, what did you use?

Lol, dafuq??

I've just seen the photos on PH :p I wish I'd have gone.

Those multispoke ones look nice too.

They did have a roll bar, it's in the middle. I like the all blue ones & the Tennis ones that only came in white, the half leather Recaros were awesome! Fair play.

Those colours really don't work together.

I love mk1 & mk2 Fiestas. I was also looking through the abandoned cars thread on PF & think I want an project RS Turbo, gotta be an Escort though. I doubt I'll do it though, but never say never.

Those wheels do look nice!! I've not seen them on one before.

There are some proper nice motors there Dave! I think yours fits in pretty well, it sure is rare!

What about a Sapphire Cossie ? would you consider one of those?

I drive mine all year round, except for when it snows.

Do you have to use a sealant afterwards ? do they supply it? One of my lights needs doing.

Cheers that looks really nice!! Yeah oddly my wheels have only gone a bit dodgy on the rear, the front ones are still pretty mint. I need to get my exhaust boxes sorted as they really let it down. I did consider boxing them in (even looked at getting phase 2 inserts) but I wanna keep it OE. I...

Haha, kudos for posting up ages after you've sold it! & epic loitering! The 197's seem to have dropped a fair bit in price lately, so maybe you sold it at the right time. If you can back into a 197 I'll keep any eye out. I still have my V6 :)

I like!! 8 pots too, nice! I read the posts after about therm not being so good. Yeah once you change the pads you should be on to a winner. Very very nice!
