    Engine Conversion

    Apparently if your running boost the 1.8 F7P is the engine to use, due to a shorter stroke.

    Climate Control 172 - Randomness!

    im not totally sure on this one but does the climate control take the outside air temp from the sensor under the passengers wing mirror (the one that gives you outside air temp on the clock/radio screen) so if it was playing up it would think the outside air temp was higher than it actually is...

    my first drive (182)

    to be honest the only reason i would buy a 182 over a 172 is if i prefered one of the colours! the 182 has more bold, colours that stand out (liquid yellow, racing blue, inferno orange) where the 172 is just monaco blue, flame red, iceberg silver and pearl black, which are all really nice...

    my first drive (182)

    Why not save yourself some more and get a 172 for £5,000 ish? a mk2 172 is basically the same car, same interior, same exterior (apart from different wheels and no twin exhausts (different spoiler and no splitter if your compairing to a 182 with the cup spoiler pack) and performance is basically...
