while I still say its massively convenient to have a manual licence, not sure I would go back to a manual for my personal car!

Fair play! We use 1.2 16v Dynamiques, about to move over to 0.9 TCE's since the 1.2 has now been discontinued. be interesting to see how the clutch packs gets on as the miles gets up, we change the cars at about 140k/3yrs usually just as they are starting to need a clutch

im looking for a set of 15s for cheap tyres but let me have a play with photoshop and see how they look! might actually be quite smart

i was originally looking for non RS seats as they are cheap cheap cheap but id take 172/182 ones if there going cheap!! PM me a price and ill see if I can justify them ?

nothing much new happened, took her for an MOT to see what needed done next and it sailed through with not a single advisory! so now on the lookout for a nice set of 15" wheels for it, it needs new dampers at the front as they are past it so need to work out if i want to just put a standard pair...

Issues and a VERY understanding Mrs??? ?

Yes mate they will need coded as far as I know.

I know it doesn't that's why converting my car would be ideal as its bottom end does ?

I was thinking how epic it would be converted over to DCi100 spec but with a JC5 box for the longer gearing! hehe

went to the scrappies today looking for a fuse box cover... boy didn't even charge me! result...

got the front end all rebuilt back together with the new lower arms, balljoints, track rod ends, wheel bearings, top mounts, bushes etc and that got it driving sweet, the front dampers are goosed, one is seized solid the other is soft as my first shite. having a think about what to replace them...

good base to start with, are you from Edinburgh or is that just where the car came from? engine wise, they are a fantastic little engine if you don't mess with them too much lol! For a DCi65 my recomendation would be a set of DCi 80/100 injectors (they are the same part for the 80/100), an...

I found a Dynamique spoiler that's been hiding in my parents shed since 2005 when I upgraded mine to a colour coded 172 one on my first car!

I had no intention of owning another dci or another mk2!! I cleared out my garage recently of all mk2 parts!

Pricing seems all over the place with them saw a second hand good condition one for £30 last month kicking myself for not picking it up. Finding good condition 100 ones are getting hard to find although I notice the campus dci70 used the same intercooler!

Loved my r27, especially with the akrapovic. Shame they are so expensive when they start needing bits fixed ?

Will have a look, I like the Dacia one as it slots in perfectly where the 100 one mounts and uses the same pipework, I've got all the spare pipework from a 100 too!!

Was thinking if a pair of 172 cup seats since they don't have heavy airbags #mpg! Haha might stick a Dacia cooler on it and 80 injectors/map!

It's like taking a step back into the olden days having to use my left foot! Only down side!!

Cheers guys, looking forward to getting it on the road and tidied up I've already got a 182 doner car in mind if the boy will let it go cheap enough ?? Need to get a pair of front seats and door cards as they are hideous/dirty/ripped

Recently I bought a new house that's been a bit of a project and has a large garden that I find myself constantly doing runs to the dump and im fed up relying on using my mrs car or putting loads of sheets down in the back of the 220 Trophy to keep it clean, so I went on the lookout for a...

when I saw it on facebook I thought it was mint and couldnt put my finger on it! no side doors that's what it is!!!!!

stunning! miss mine!

Done about 1500 miles in it now, still in love, still genuinely surprized at its pace!

72k or 5 years what ever comes first as far as I can remeber

my dream car when I was 14/15/16, loved the 2 tone ones!

generally really good little cars, make sure both the key cards work if it has keyless entry, engine and gearboxes are very reliable in them, look for good service history, they like good quality oil being turbo charged so worth having it done if its not been serviced recently

black ph1's NEED bright silver 15" OZ F1 imo!

buy a late 2015 or newer for MediaNav Evolution its night and day better (evolution can be identified by the outside temperature reading on top right of the screen beside the clock) - it doesn't do traffic info either but the nav is better, the system is much more responsive and sound quality is...

if the fan coming on isnt bringing the temperature down I would say the issue is the efficiency of the radiator so either its got an air lock, sludge or possibly the fins are badly damaged and not enough air flow getting through. I would flush it and put fresh coolant in and bleed if the...
