Seems strange how it was fine one minute then knackered the next, usually get some sort of sign. Can you get it into gear with the engine off?

Yeah true say, I've only seen that a problem when it's plastered on plus the rear brakes themselves don't seem to generate much dust.

Tbh I just used Renault pads, I only had the problem with the rear brakes. Also lube the handbrake cables on the calipers end.

Yeah I've got some receipts from newcastle under lyme, how long did he own it?

What's your registration?....... Remind me never to get in this car ha

Where was your mate from? I brought it off a chap called Glen, friendly lad an kept in touch from Eckinton

Like I said though, I ain't really bothered about the so call "image" like you were. Its a car, friends, family, work collegues an proberly 90% of the nation don't give a f**k about what I drive its just a car. Then theres the small minority that do an tbh it just shows how materialistic they are.

Can't blame you chap, looks great there in those pictures

looks good, could be a good alternative to the polarised tpi jobbies

Everyone that saw the car said it but It soon was replaced with my plate :)

Tbh I aint that bothered if the "chavs" do take a shining to them, means there could be some cheap "track car donors". At the end of the day I am really not fussed what people think of my car or what image comes with it as I enjoy it, which I think is the most important thing! I can't see it...

Yeah that was the plate that came on it, people reckoned I could have sold it as "LUXURY" as a private plate but god knows

Gave it a good clean an polish inside an out an check the essentials under the bonnet an had a good scout around ready for our trip up to middlesborough on christmas day

Yep I had this last year on the old 197, same sort of weather. Strip them down good clean up an abit of copper slip grease.

Well heres a few snaps of mine, sold the 197 back in june an replaced it with a trophy! I had a ph2 172 before the 197 an the 197 even though a great handling car it felt like it lacked something so I went back to a ph2 (which is the trophy) an haven't looked back! Plus the few quid left has...

I ran the Ktec/vibratechnic ones to coupled with a powerless dog bone at it wasn't as bad as you'd think

What a state! Atleast your ok an hope your passenger recovers soon. They sorted that quick though which is good :) good luck with next motor

Does it leave the floor in that video at one point? Lol

Only problem I found with my bank cover (HSBC advance) is that if you are not within 25miles of your home address they will only recover you to the nearest garage. That's no good for me as I maintain all my own cars

No doubt some mong will fall for the advert an think its the best thing since sliced bread an pay good as 3k.

Sometimes i'd happily exchange mine for a big Mac (as long as its a large meal with banana shake)

looked good on the white f1's ;)

like the 197 ;) colour combo looks great!

Personally I wouldn't re insure it chap, if you have someone coming to look at it an is dead keen to drive an potenially buy it then pay for a days cover on the day if possible. As for sorning it I sold a car back in september, it had 6 months tax an 12 months MOT but wasn't insured as it...

An I know which one I'd rather own, the 205 gti was one of the original hot hatchs hence the kudos that goes with it, the 106 gti although a cracking car in many ways it was the choice of your local ring road heros an heavily mass produced (not that the 205 wasn't) an theres still plenty of them...

That looks like the flange has come from another system an been welded on!

Sounds a real shame that you don't get the chance to enjoy driving it, that alone would kill me!

Fairplay, certainly sounds like its got a good comprehensive history. You drive it much?

Seen concourse for 10k plus but never 20! What's so special? Do love a good series 1 turbo though, my late uncle had one when I was about 4. It got pinched like so many others!

The new spax seem to get decent reviews, dan at 519 sells them too.
