Nice but a year on and you still haven't removed the sticker from the selling garage off the back window?
Mine came off first day. Kinda spoils look of the car from the back. I would get some plain plates (removing the garage name and stuff from the reg too). If I'm being really pedantic...
Yes elephant are good. Always add a female second driver and it'll lower the quote still further.
I made a claim and it was all sorted within a month or so. No hassle.
Can't see what's so bad about it. Ok she's a little over optimistic with some of the remarks but at the end of the day she's trying to sell it to a buyer.
Nice rear exhaust too. Pretty much how I want mine done
lol at the 46.2 mpg though on the pic, I could show mine showing 60 odd if I...
I agree it's a lovely looking 172.
Pretty much how I want mine to look expect I've never been keen on the exhaust. Twin pipes I can live with but I'm much rather them have been cut into the bumper.
Nice pics though mate.
Hoover and wash on an MOT? Are you kidding?
It's not a service (which to be honest you'll still be lucky to get that on a service).
As for the brake light, I think it's a case of if the car has one, it has to work, like fog lights etc.
I'd personally remove the brake light yourself...

Make sure you ask for the mounting clips to mount this on a phase 1 car. Not sure if they are included. You may have to improvise.
I paid £58 new from renault for mine with clips back in 1999
D4AA0 I saw you at Heworth roundabout last Saturday afternoon, turning off towards Pelaw. I was in a silver 172 turning right, giving way on roundabout.
As for the lass...
I would.. all over. lol
Yes but like he says the engine ISN'T running at this point.
Your average mpg wouldn't (or shouldn't) drop when stationary with the engine off, so why should the average speed.
If he was sat in traffic with engine running, it would drop but it shouldn't with it off.
lagerlout1, that's EXACTLY what I want for my 172.
I've got serious 4k rattle trouble on my 53 172. I dont' want something that looks like it's been chucked onto the car. I want somethign that looks like it's meant for the car.
I was thinking of a s/s replica of a standard box.
Where...
They do lower a 182 by about 10mm and therefore should improve handling by the very fact the car's centre of gravity is lower.
Out of interest, are the springs stiffer too?
