Just took my car in for its 12,000 mile service today down at the yocal Renault Dealer Chimps. They still insist that my car isnt due for its first service until 18,000. Doh! But they kindly said that they will do a 1st service for me anyway if I insisted on it!! WTF.

Now this is something id be interested in fitting. Just so Im sure its up to temp before ragging it. Usually give it 10 minutes under 3,000 rpm. Anyone know whats involded with fitting one?

Feck that. I like the Copper S - but that bloody options list and the prices - tarts handbag. I like the extras that the 172 Mk2 comes with. But the only reason I have them is because they come as standard. Otherwise I could quite easily live without them! I definitely wouldnt spec...

Ive this discussion many a time - with people at work, down the pub etc...... I believe that a lot of men (+women) think that if a man has a small car then there they are lacking something. Well f**k their preconceptions because I dont need a feckin 4 door family saloon to cosset me around...

Bloody ell Geoff!! Good luck mate - your parents are gonna have to be very generous!! 25 Gs!!:o

Hmmm. Not so sure myself. The Mk II front end doesnt seem to look right with those huge wings. Looks a bit boz-eyed. Think I prefer the Mk1. Might grow on me though.

To start with I never liked the Contis. I remember comparing them to a bar of soap! For the first few thousand miles the car seemed to slip and slide around all over the place. Although halfway through and towards the end of their life their behaviour seemed to improve somewhat!! Possibly -...

Hmmmm might blag 2 hours off work on Friday and get myself in there. Got the proxes fitted last week. Grip levels are much higher after having them changed. My rear Contis were nearly slick as I swapped them front to back b4 the last Bedford track day!! Not realy pushed them hard yet though...
