Rentech, Portsmouth. Not open for a few months yet though :(

lol

Is it me or does the dated Trophy graphics really fit with the dated Mk1 ;)

I wouldnt insure any car worth more than 4k TPTF! In fact my insurance company wont allow it.

That as well I guess, but thats not the explanation in your drivers manual ;)

Ive tried a different style of driving, short shifting, keeping around 70 on the motorway etc, but Ive always gone back to the darkside lol

It depends how you drive to be honest, Ive been doing around 250 miles to a tank but then I dont run it to the fuel light comes on. Bear in mind my average MPG is around 35 and determined by a heavy right foot ;) I do a bit of motorway, A road and urban driving. When I used to live and work...

Quote: Originally posted by Steve2004 on 23 July 2005 I dont notice any difference in performance whatsoever when I turn the air con on. Starts guzzling the petrol though We dont as we dont have the Climate control, its this that affects the performance. The pump needs the extra power...

Ive noticed it in the later Mk2 172s and above.

That looks great :D Ive noticed that the red never shows dirty even when its covered in dust, unlike mine :(

Rear discs, bearings and ABS rings are roughly £130 and will take less than an hour to fit for a start. I just replaced mine from new - they did 38,000 miles! Price seems way too much even if they do need changing.

You can restore leather can you not?

Indeed it was, came out of Niks 172
