payed £1800 for it including 1yrs road tax (£35), 10 months mot, 141k, no service history (had an oil filter stamped march 08 though so must have some sort of history!) awesome little car for the money though, can have a shot of it if you like see what you think. honestly mate i cant recomend...

yeah deffo i payed just over £1500 for my 143k minter lol

buzzing sounds like the xenon headlights, or atleast mine make that noise, or similar, does it do it when the headlights are off? as for idling noise, mine doesnt sound that loud, theres a lot of different things it could be, try putting a screwdriver on different parts and listning with your...

under side of the lower half of the inlet manifold has RS stamped on it

theres no downpipe just manifold>cat>centre section>back box have a look under and see exactly where its snapped

doesnt have vvt so no dephaser. sounds like it could be a loose spark plug. kinda fart noise!

really need a video to confirm it, mine isnt the quietest, does it feel ok when its running? power wise and vibration etc?

not as far as i know

ive had mine for just over a month now and i love it, costs nothing to run its awesome. ive owned a 1.2 dynamique and can say this thing handled closer to my 172 than it does the 1.2 dynamiques, its awesome, steering is brilliant, less bodyroll its brilliant! mine just needs a decent set of tyres!

service light doesnt come on when its due a service, it comes on to tell you theirs a problem/fault and to take it to your dealer. as said the ------ means your oil is low, top it up asap! (may as well get it changed if its due it)

standard rear backbox isnt actually that expensive but as said it wont last long. u wont regret a k-tec stealth though, cant hear it on teh motorway at 70/80 can just hear it and no more when croosing around town but open it up and it sounds awesome!! (thats my opinion on one with a decat too!!)

bit more progress today... Received my new PTFE Gaskets, not got my matched and polished inlets get that i got from a member on here so cant fit them yet but heres a pic... The Guys at opieoils.co.uk supplyed me with my gearbox oil and also some stickers :p.... Thanks to N2grafix...

just under £500 or there abouts, and nope they are different bolt spacing and spring rates so wont fit 172

f**k that s**t go 85 lol na seriously if you cant afford to go for coilovers then i wouldnt consider anything less than 60mm

i prefer to use etyres as they come and fit them at your house in their van

they 15's? really need to go to 195/45 with them if so, but big improvement looks good!

eek tcut! id avoid tcut, give Autogleam Super Resin Polish a go see how you get on with that will come up MUCH better! looks good though, i think silver calipers would suit it, blue looks quite good too!

next time it comes on give the wires under the passengers seat a wiggle, common fault

cheers for the advice guys, edde i know standard brakes are more than enough but its just i have 1 month old brembo disks and greenstuff pads lying around doing nothing. I cant see the dci weighing much more than the 172 at the front end and the rear end in theory should be nearly the same...

deffo try admiral ive always stuck with them, only company that would insure me on my 172 at 18 with 0ncb

im possitive the bolt spacing is different but it wouldnt be hard to get a set of 2nd hand 172 hubs if it would fit

my 172 is on par with my mates ek in they pics, its not any quicker or slower. it weighed 1075 on the weighbridge my 172 was 1050 (i think the weighbridge rounds up or down to the nearest 25kg possibly)

wondering if the bottom arms are the same on both the dci and 172 as my dci is needing brakes and since ive got a nearly new set of brembo disks, greenstuff pads, and 172 hubs lying around was going to fit them along with the 4 newish dampers and eibachs from my 172! (coilovers and 4 pots coming...

if we're doing H&R im ordering a set for the 172 so ill wait untill this is sorted, if its FK's i quite fancy a set for the dci!

meassure it to double check, ive not saw a 52mm one (think they were 52mm) in years think they were only the earlier ones but give it a check to be 100%

no haynes for the 172 only non RS inc dci it covers most of the 2.0 though as most of the car is the same or similar but since your problem is engine related then it wont cover it

thats quite tidy, wheels suit it, if i was you id be getting either dual optics or suspension kit, coilovers if you can afford it or just an apex-60mm kit or something

so am i looking for 70mm then or can i go 6mm bigger? ^

must be a dci dont want a pic of a petrol non RS, my old non RS on apex sat to high at the front but i want to see how it sits with the heavy engine in it! cheers

what an awesome colour!
