hahaha the emporer has spoken Of course youre going to get better MPG if youre thinking about getting better MPG with something that says it gives you better MPG. Why isnt it standard equipment for all economy-angled cars? or have ford, renault, peugeot, vw, vauxhall designers thought of...

Ive seen a few yellow ones about, hehe its probably the same one-just seen it a few times. It used to be parked in petersfield.....

HMMM. sounds like a potential serious problem id have thought. Maybe an oil starvation somewhere or the fan not kicking in properly like you said. I drive mine hard every time i drive it and has NEVER gone above the halfway mark. Try and take it to another garage and get another tech to...

i think it says in the manual of my car to turn them on if they get fogged up! my right foglight always steams up and i have to turn them on while im not driving, just packing the car ready for racing/driving somewhere so that the fog can de-fog itself. I dont really think cars look sh!t...

hi cord. Im in the same position. I hope its not too expensive! had my brake pads done a while back so they shouldnt be on the shopping list. Most seem to have them replaced at 36 k which really bumps the price up! ask jimblive as his had the 35 k and i think they may check other belts? not...

Cool, might do the same to my bonnet. Any offers?

OH NO!!!!!!!!! ha ha ha really funny. Check out Gibson (from racing tales vs zetecs) post on ebay: "Yo dawg, dat Civic is off da chizane. But for real, dis ges one dem concep carz, right? Duz Honda no u tryin to sell diz dope ride? If my babys mama dint keep poppin out kidz, I wood throw a...

yep its at 6800 for ages then goes to 7200 or thereabouts. And if you turn it off and then on it does the same even its warm - i think im sure it does anyway......

i have a mag (autoexpress or autocar or something) that tested the 0-60 of the mk.1 172 against proton gti, 206 gti and they managed 6.6 secs. Ive kept that one in good condition... Id say theyd be as quick as a willy (although i havent raced one yet!) considering the factors. Willy weighs...

What cars have you owned and their modifications. Im sure this has been on here before, but theres loadsa new members. I had a Y-reg Scirocco (only done 73,000 miles now!) and we made a joke exhaust in the Design technology department for it, it was about 6 inches wide and looked really funny...

oh and get a different, cheaper, smaller, rarer, tuneable car with a turbo....

@ 17 scirocco 1.6 - mums old car, so....thankyou @ 20/21 clio 172 mk.1 - life savings wasted on a car now 22 wants to sell it and have some money/savings for a change

if you can afford a £8 on repairs and mods why not buy something with a warranty left on it like a 172?

Back of the net i wanna go to this! sounds really good. Bet it will be proper busy i tell thee. Do we have to book on that website, i havent opened it yet. Probably should really! cheers dude

Cool! will do..... then its boner time!

im just imagining the throttle response of it. Instant, as soon as you stamp it! cant wait to hear about it when its on the road! should be a real quickstix

probably need a new gearbox mate if you havent already had one! they are rubbish on the 172s..... im on number 4!

Got a set of Michie pilot exaltos, not sure how good they are, just fancied a change from the boaty Goodyear eagle F1s. Cost me £52 each fitted and balanced etc. They look ok. Has anyone else tried these? Im going to let them bed in a bit just so they stay on the rims ready for a bit of death...

yeah 172s are sh!t

Bad luck dude. I agree with Viv, take that money and buy a nice pair of shoes or a mountain bike or something with a good lock. (can you still cycle a bike on a ban? as if you commit traffic offences on a pedal bike you can get points on your drivers license?)

all 4 of my old boxes clunked not sure about the latest

hi - i had the same thing happen to mine, but it was the fault of the renault garage that fitted my second gearbox. It was some sort of seal as you say, but i cant tell you how much to fix - they took a day to do it if that helps? warranty issue........i assume your warranty is out as youve got...

you can get the "serv" and "stop" and "engine" lights on if you put it in 1st at 45 mph in a 1.2 16v.......;)

greeper do you still have your 172 as well as the 150? my dads 150 goes well for a diesel

yep, wigs on weekends for me

Im on gearbox number 4 on my car......... Its probably the linkage - and this time when they replaced the box they -i think - replaced some plate or something. I wasnt really listening, too busy wanting my car back etc. Every time the gearbox has been changed its been free. If your car has...

Hmmm.....im thinking along the same line - just need to free up some money too. I do love the car, but sick of driving a 1.2 courtesy boat half the time with no A/C!!! Id just put it up for £9k and see what you get from there. Ours have similar mileage dont they? mines about 34,000 .........

only thing id be wary of is spare wheel. Are those "spray-in gloop" things safe to do 100+ when its in the tyre? ive had a few flat tyres (for some reason on this car! gol dang it) and had to change the wheel loads at the side of the road. Maybe i should stop driving through nail...

scoobies are quicker ;)
