its a really easy job the cambelt so if you cant do it yourself a local garage will probably do it for not much over £100. my 2002 was on 140k miles and going strong untill cambelt snapped, would still be going strong today if it hadnt probably

mk3's are huge i bet 20's would be not to much trouble. of course if it was mine it would be getting 15's.......

only looks 45/50 in the pics tbh

deffo do waterpump as said above.

my 1.2 16v flew past 145k miles no problem, never had one single problem with it all that had been changed was coil pack and clutch. if the cambelt hadnt gone it wud probably still be going now!

there has been loads of times when people have been done for speeding or dangerous driving etc for recording and posting on the net, but just in this case hes ok, as long as you watch wht your doing you should be fine! lol but you do have a valid point wasnt trying to argue

you cant prove its that car in the video, and me and my mate's old black both ended in VNB!!

yeah i once had a camera mounted to my bottom grill on my 1.2 16v when it was lowered about 90mm and it looked like an F1 car bouncing all over the place lol wasnt even going that quick!

prove its his car in the video..... you cant police cant do much

you cant see his reg plate on the video

lol f**k off! car sounds awesome mate, that video imo shows exactly what the 172 was made for - loads of laughs, smiles and fun!!!

its hard to notice a difference only time i notice it is pulling out a junction close to my house, it feels a bit flat if i go for a gap but next junction just down the road its fine!

no need to remove the front bumper i done it on axel stands. mine had the wiring (remove the passengers side fog light cover and you'll see if its there) but mine had the basic UCH so didnt work even with the wiring and new stalk. luck of the draw you might be ok might not.
