I think they get into the trap where they become cheap, owned by people who really don't give a monkeys then become uneconomical to repair. Do an ebay search there's hardly any, I remember a time when pistonheads used to list over 700 for sale!

I was almost certain you couldn't get the joints separate, or at least that was what I was told when I was after one

I only really looked into it when @Ste Burns sent me the links when he first started looking

Yeah I think the fact from new Citroen would throw in free insurance and low rate finance when they were new made them appeal to the youngsters at the time and that made them so popular. Also underneath the image there was a cracking little capable hot hatch!

And the steering was altered too to give more feeling that was said to lack in the original 225's

I loved my old Saxo vtr, was me first car back in 2006 at 18! Even that was fairly fruity by the end, piper fast road cam, race land manifold and magnex system with green cotton ram scoop lightened flywheel and head skimmed to maximum tolarance to try and get a little more compression and...

You know my thoughts ;) after all I own one too! Can't beat them for the money!

And now these have just dropped through the door, the final pieces to the flywheel conversion in the form of new flywheel bolts!

Well the said breather turned up today, had this from ads and Wolverhampton Renault and really can't recommend him enough for his knowledge and customer service. So I removed the quick dessert repair Popped in the new one and bobs your uncle The new pipe seemed much more flexible then...

Awesome mate, next time I pop in I'll do that for sure

Sweet mate, I'll do that. Don't they want vat numbers? I do quite a lot of work you see being ex motor trade I still like to keep my hand in

Cheers mate, much appreciated. I'm always using them when I'm working on other peoples cars, plus they stock lemfordner which in my opinion some of the best balljoints you can get aftermarket

Oh dear, I need to know these things :( I paid 48 with delivery

Well another day another delivery, this time in the shape of a valeo slave cylinder to go with that new clutch and flywheel. Now just for the flywheel bolts that's should be here tomorrow and that breather pipe so I can get back to boosting and less tickling

Well the dessert fix got me home in one piece, even gave it a little boost ;)

If I had space I'd happily snap up many a non runner and either track them or shift them on but at my house I only have parking for 2 cars and with the megane and Beemer that's pretty much it. I'm sure you'll shift it though shag, they seem to get snapped up on eBay and here pretty quick, I'd...

Sell it as a non runner, they seem to be fetching 500+ now days then put that to your money and you may be able to find a cheap 172
