I see, cheers. Well I supose I will have to wait and see tomorrow. Just hope they dont try charging me a load extra saying it was the engine mount that caused it. Will cost me 80-100 miles worth petrol/time just to get there and back as it is:dapprove:

Are you talking the engine mount or exhaust mounts? (or both!) The exhust mounts didn't seem to bad before I had it put on but they didn't use them either. They were removed and they used there own mounting system.

Cheers for that, might just get them to fix that at the same time as the exhust then as long as they dont try ripping me off for it.

Just started hearing a knocking noise in my boot on the way home today. When I got in I had a look and both the mounts for the back box on my Powerflow stealth have given way. I only got it fitted in January this year so gave the place a call and they said to bring it in tomorrow. They also...

The way I see it is if people are not happy with the leg room in the back they can get out and walk:D

Pointless

My 53 plate was 6k last Oct which seemed good compared to others I looked at. Shortly after getting it the radiator started leaking from the bottom where I couldn't see it (new one fitted under warranty). Then the following month the back box decided to drop off. So got new powerflow for £250...

You got pics of that, mine is medium and I take both off do yo not scratch things?

Its just as heavy up here to you know;) Its good to drive a lesser powered car once in a while though. Although I haven't had chance yet with the clio:( .

Best choice for that money:D . Oh and thats a very good round up, again! bmh;)

Mines a 53 plate and the radiator went a month after getting it last october. Cost the AA £350 to replace. Think if you shop around that would be cheaper though.

Best I have had is 36-38 on the motorway but that was setting it as soon as I filled up and did a little bit of town driving. (plus giving at a few blasts along the way:o ). Arn't the 172's meant to be slightly better than the 182's on fuel?

Some more good pics;) . That corsa bombed it passed me flying across 3 lanes on the way home going into Leeds like abit of a tit, stank too:rolleyes: . I'm also guessing no one else saw that TVR that had binned it in those tunnel things that go through Leeds center then? Nasty bit of front end...

+1:D , although I didn't get mine new.

Re: Yorkshire Meet 17-02-08 Some good pics there:)

Yep mine and the 5 or 6 I test drove were all the same. Only thing I dont like about it is when your in slow moving traffic.

Out of the two I would have a 197 every time, but I can't afford one:( . If I was spending that much cash on a car I'm not sure thats what I'd choose though. Still the 1*2's are still one of the best bang for buck cars out there and in a few years time maybe the 197 will be the same??

I had to drive mine for a good week before I got my powerflow. Had a 40 mile drive on the motorway to get it to, makes your ears bleed:S

I got a Powerflow the other month, as long as you tell them you want it quiet as possible they will do it for you. Mine is just a fraction louder than a standard one. It's also nearly 1/2 the price and will last a hell of alot longer:approve:

Since October I have had a new radiator fitted, a new powerflow stealth an ITG panel filter and hopefully a new steering wheel soon. Oh and a scratch on the glove box door:mad:

+1 and if it starts costing to much you can scrap it and no great loss.

No because that wasn't an S

I do:), I also have a picture of it as my wall paper on my phone and PC sometimes (just for the extra hit:o )

Might want to look at getting AA breakdown and repair cover if you only have 2 months. Only cost £65 ontop of any normal cover they do. http://www.theaa.com/services/breakdowncover/option_table.jsp (near the bottom) I got it when I got mine and within a month of having it the radiator went and...

Cheers!

Right worked it out now, so here goes a few of mine:)

Just tried puting pics up from photobucket, and no joy, how do I do it?

+1 for richer sounds

Nasty:(

My brother has the super charged S and in a straight line the 172 just has the edge. Not had chance to try the twisties yet but on a country run I would say it would come down to driver skill/balls imo.:approve:
