another sheep

30mpg through town on my commute, suits me!

you might need a lawyer to draft a letter for when you hand the keys back - speak to CAB - finance company own it so you'll have to speak to them first

The engines been rebuilt several times hence for me option 3 is no go - cannae polish a turd (I mean the engine not the car)

no bother, good luck. Try your local citizens advice beureau too.

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/motoring-case-of-lemon-aid-1119955.html Interesting UK article, 10 years old but some bodies mentioned who might be worth contacting.

I don't know the ins and outs of it but you might be able to hand it back as a lemon, unfit for purpose - not sure if this is common in the UK though.

the two rarest phase 2 172 colours, I like both but think I prefer monaco on the phase 2 and flame red on a phase 1

bet you a box of dime bars, and having done a brief search the best I can find to confirm is a post by resident renault tech guru edde: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showpost.php?p=1955155&postcount=15 My 182 hit 65 on the clocks and my new 172 hits about 60/62 - not gospel I know but...

this 172 feels like its making good power to me so i'll run it when its re-arranged to see how she fares

nope, longer 1st gear in 182 at the very least.

I would only buy a car that I knew some history on, so many friday afternoon cars around. Worth buying from someone on here where you can search the history easily IMO cup suspension pack has anthracite wheels as opposed to silver. cup spoiler pack has 172 cup style spoiler and a front...

it is a buyers market though, you'll see 05 182s going through auctions for under £5K. 04 182s going privately for £4.5-5.5k easy. I sold my 182 for £6750 with FRSH pretty damn tidy 40k miles - in late 2007! I got a lot of 172 for not a lot over £3k yesterday

I had a 2004 182 from new with no cup packs (dealer delivery times led to me taking what was on the forecourt) for 3.5 years and about 40k miles mainly a and b road. It didnt slow me down at all. still has the benefits of wider track, longer wheelbase different gear ratios etc over a phase 2...

Lol I'd bin a cup

option 3 would spiral, option 1 or 2 only way to go, the cars rapid as is. No point tuning it further just get it running straight.

christened it today actually, spilt some manky Maccy-D's tomato sauce on the passenger seat alcantara - doh!

oh and no.4 I will end Ali's spree of buyers writing his old cars off.

Yeah it pulls well, I'm happy with it its well run in. I didn't boot it for 3 reasons last night: 1. It was -1c and snowing 2. Its been about 14 months since I had power steering 3. You'd feel obliged to drive fast in the cold wet in your first RWD :rasp:

Nah it's from Lennoxtown bout 15 miles north of glasgow. Supplies all the supermarkets someone on here works for them Daviebroon perhaps can't remember!

Got a full MOT history for the new 172 now, nice to know - nothing serious either, always good!

good man! cheers

Was all set to go over the top of the Campsie fells (where the supermarket bottled water comes from) but decided that would be a bad idea lol

It was a great looking car when Stoddie had it. Very quick too, got to 100+ hugely quicker than my 182 at the time.

lol indeed the rear quarter fell off last night but I sikeflexed the fcuk outta it

dunno not sure about driving meets still :(

There's sidelight bulbs in it, maybe your dad put them in? lol

TBH I was gonna remove the xenons and get some Halogen bulbs Poverty spec FTFW ;)

Cheers, aye its a nice change from the GTI. Still prefer the GTi in the snow though lol It'll be hitting 55k soon, quite happy with it drives well and everything works so far lol

Well my motorcycle test was cancelled today due to about 3-4" inches of snow since yesterday afternoon. So I made the most of the snow and got some pics of the new to me 172 which I picked up yesterday from AJR Motorsport in H-Burgh In retrospect some of the roads I drove up for pictures...
