Cheers guys, If thats a Full UK dealer sold car then the price is pretty good. If its an import then you will want to pay a good £1.5 to £2k less.

Daz, Ill swap you a Parker for them?

Its swings and roundabouts guys, you either pay more for the car and get interest free credit, or less for the car but have to pay interest which in the end brings it up to pretty much the same price at the end of the 3 years. Interest free credit on a car like that is rare as rocking horse...

The fact that you have got interest free credit makes it sound like a pretty good deal to me. That over 3 years is dam good deal on a new car of that value, considering the amount of the car which you are taking on credit. Places like Lloyds TSB car select, or some of the importers will be...

Im waiting for my 182 to arrive, but I know its going to feel slow compared to my nicely loosened up 20k mile 172. Id need one with a fair few miles on the clock for a reasonable comparison.

Dont worry, Im warming up my delete finger as we speak.;)

You still get a SORN part on the renawal form.

AFAIK there is no two weeks grace, they now just look on the system, see you havent purchased your road tax and if you havent filled in a SORN form they send you a bill.

It appears that the 182 wins the 0 - 60 sprint over the Cup due to the traction of the wider tyres. 205 as opposed to 195 in width.

I used to have a leased company car and I argued that I was the one who drove the thing 25k miles a year and I wanted the tyres of my choice on it. I always got the tyres I wanted that way.:D

I was talking to Ben about this in Scotland. Hed got rainsports on his Cup and was concerned that they had a large amount of sidewall flex. So much so that he had stiffened his suspension to the max to try and compensate for the tyres!! He actually showed me the amount of sideways movement...

Daz isnt allowed to win as he is CS staff. ;) Congrats Daz.

Fixed that for you mate. Looks good by the way. :D

LOL, ditto. :D

Why did you have to poke them again? Theyve been quite well behaved today. :(

Dave, Cup badges!! Oh dear youll get it now.;) The dealer has told me hell try and get me a nice plate, think Ill ask for **04 CUP. ;) You can save that movie from the site. Watch the Quicktime version of it, once its down downloading just search your tempory internet files folder for a...

I think I already have Dave. :D I know they have one so I expect one sat in the car waiting for me.

Yeah there should be two cans of tyre foam. I dont know who removes the mats but there have been people on here have 172s without them!! They are part of the spec. I hope they dont check mine too thouroughly when they take it in p/x as some of those things wont be on it. :oops: And dont...

Check all the bodywork for marks/dents, obviously. Splitter (if you chose the option) Mats, sometimes get taken out and sold seperately!! Tyre foam Locking wheel nut key Boot net Its mostly silly stuff that gets forgot, but you paid for it so its best to make sure you get it.

Ive not had any problems with mine. They gave me huge levels of confidence on the Scotland trip. They do take a couple of hundred miles to run in. [Edited by Lee M on 03 May 2004 at 12:15pm]

I found it on Google. Im not sure what made me look for something related to my 172!! I think was looking for a backdrop for my PC at work to be honest. Geoff has sold the beemer Mike, we bumped into him while buying beers on Saturday night.:oops:

Mine looked like that today after I drove back from Milton Keynes. I gave it a wash this afternoon though and think most of them are off. They come off easier when they havent had a few days to dry out. lol

Hi, Ive just been to check on mine, the 172 does exactly the same thing. We noticed it the other week while we were proding around under the bonnet of someone elses car oddly enough. Lee

Id love a toy called Annette.;) Anyway, cargo net sounds soft. Its a crash helmet retainer. :D

Ive been spotted once, by Daz!!!! He couldnt even see my sticker over the central reservation. He just recognised me.

You just get a collar from Renault. I think I paid about £18 for mine.

I ran my 172 in and its now covered 20k and is flying and has never once had an engine problem. *see for sale forum* I didnt get the oil changed at 1k miles, although I think I will on my new one, but I did get an interim service done at 6k. What matt says makes sense to me and Ive always...

You could have done with getting it done before the mods. RRs arent good for telling you what you have, just showing you the effects that mods have on the car in relation to before. Ive had 158bhp and 168bhp shown at the fly both with the car standard on different roads. [Edited by Lee M on...

lol, I was just about to add....cargo net for sale soon. Provided they remember to put one in my new car.
