having smugly looked at this yesterday thinking nothing! today my steering rack is making a crunch/squeal on full lock and feels like it is skidding from the drivers side :(

Im thinking 3k, depends what I can get for my 172 ph1 really

I have a 172 ph1 on eibach sportlines, will a 182FF be lower or appear loweron standard setup? I suppose the 16" wheels may have a say in it

very well put CaptainSlow, almost a Top Gear script that!

£600 off, not bad. I think if my 172 hadnt been so low mileage I wouldnt be in two minds...but arctic blue...

Ah thanks

does anyone else think Im mad swapping a ph1 172 for a 182FF? seems a fairly sensible move to me, might be wrong though

how do I contact him, where is he based?

I see what your saying about it being the same car but I will be dropping 3-4 years in age and I really fancy a change of colour/interior etc. get away from mt skinny massive steering wheel too

Living in the country makes owning a black car a pain in the arse, im sure my hunt will pay off eventually. Where else except ebay, pistonheads, autotrader can i look?

do you mind me asking what you paid/mileage etc? You see some for silly prices then others at too cheap to be true prices

Ive convinced myself i 'need' to swap my 172 ph 1 for a 182FF. Will I find that more become available as spring/summer starts as I dont seem to be finding the tidy example Im looking for. I wont accept a compromise and want an arctic blue or racing blue non cup but in standard form, no silly...

My logic was sell my ph1 on 65k for say 1500 put another 1500-2000 to it and get a newer lower mileage car in a colour i prefer....I think

I was hoping for 'Do it' you lot make bad salesmen, good for my pocket though:approve:

Ok is a 172 cup a bad idea, think im desperate for a blue rs

that is my fear

My trip always sits around 43mpg but I dont believe that to be honest. I do feel my car was such a steal when I got it(£2995 on 43k fsh 3yrs ago like new) and it has never let me down but at 11 it is bound to start needing money spending sooner or later like my 16v had begun to at 15yrs. Still I...

If Im being honest I think it is the arctic blue and the ph2 styling Im after

Herefordshire is where Im based if anyone is interested

yeah already on the heavy tax as I have a late Y reg, main thing for me is aesthetics too and a younger car -not that mine is so clean for its age which is part of the niggling regret thing. Thanks for the input though, its helps to firm up my ideas. Dom

I meant maintenance running costs like cambelt and pulley changes etc

I would test drive one or rather I will but there is none near me for sale at the moment, they surely dont drive that differently do they? except tyres do they have the same running costs?

Im going to get shouted at for not searching but whats a forum for?;) been on cliosport as Domvalver before, owned a naples 16v for 5yrs and my current 172 ph1 iceberg for 4yrs. Question is I fancy a 182FF in arctic blue but am torn as to whether I will regret it. Ive read about missing the...
