Mine did 101k on a 51, bought it off a member on here, full history and excellent condition, i paid only £3200 for it too, with nearly full tax!

Nice one, enjoy it! The 1st few days are always the best, when you keep going to the window to look at it, then thinking ah what the hell, ill go out for another meaninless drive lol
Tighten it up on the regulator.
Take door trim off, and where the window glass bolts onto the regulator it'll be loose, which is why its sliding outta place
I do 50 miles a day to work and back, but because its a long run my PH2 172 averages 37mpg. I spent about £200 a month on fuel
My 51 plate 172 had 101k on it when it got written off, but still ran sweet as a nut
Its your own insurance that will repair it, then claim it back from the other cars insurance, so you do have to declare it.
The only thing i can think of is that they'll just replace it with a standard one, as it looks near enough standard
Just been reading about cambelts, i understand all about them working in the trade, but for some reason i thought it was 72k intervals, i forgot about the years!

Long shot, but does anyone in Yorkshire know anyone with a car trailer, that can carry a 106 and be loaned for like 3 hours?

Ive tried the net, but cant find anywhere!
Go private mate, Carcraft and the like have profits to make, and there another thread on here about someone buying a 55 plate one for £400 more.
Not so long back there was a black 55 plate 182 with Recaros on eBay for £9k buy it now.
Have you tried eBay, you can always go and view it then bid
Piece of piass to fit Clio springs! Well done for doing it yourself though!
