When the 65hp egine is bedded in (ie hammered for 10k or 20k or normal use) they loosen up a lot best idea is to change the oil ever 6k if you hammer it or 9k if not changig the oil mkaes a huge difference it gives me about 2to 3mph extra speed on the straight at Bedford I can hit 92mph with old...
There prices depend on your situation my best quote by about £150 was from them last year.
Brun had dealing with them when his car was crahed and they were usless but from my experinaces there very helpful.
At 5 yeears old you'll need the cambelt doing so that £300 or so. A servixe between £150 and £200.

I've driven both a lot and a diesel will do about 55mpg being driven hard the petrol 30mpg (or less but I'll give it the benefit)

I'm 99.9999% sure 172 stuff will fit the 182 none CUped cars infact i know of a few 182 (none Cuped) running 172 H and R's without issue.
3mm difference though no idea what they mean do they mean 6mm as Cuped cars have 60mm hubs dimention and none Cuped/172 have 54mm
Is this not an option to turn off on the autotrader site.
If this happens on all sites then there an option in IE to switch off/on the viewing of pictures under Tools -> Internet options -> advanced

Most dealers forget to mention its not part of the normal service and don't chnage it but to make your warently valid you should have it chnaged might be...
Matt how would fiting the engine in a VW shell make the car easier to deal with? Just thinking can you not have the CLio front end modified to be more VW like as such?
How badly cut away is the chassis, any pictures?
What aout selling the project and making a twin engined 172? surly it...
