Not yet anyway. I think i turned it off at somepoint and now it has to be switched on manually. Also when the engine is turned off the radio stays on, total pain in the arse!

Id love to be able to run a VTS and the 172 tbh Both great cars in there own ways!:o

Right so you know when you first start your car the Radio comes on? Well ive got to switch mine on manually and its pissing me off, why has it stopped doing the usual thing? Battery disconnection in line?

I love this chant about re-mapping diesels, ask any Vag owner what they have replaced not much later than getting the Remap and the answer will normally be the clutch. So that cheap remap has turned into an expensive clutch. If Skoda intended the Fabia to be faster than 130bhp then they would...

Buy a trophy, they will be going for 5k in about a month :o

Good chance it could be the engine mounts, possibly steering rack related? Maybe check the suspension/top mounts

Old story though, supply has far out stripped demand, this being the reason along with the running costs of a hot-hatch that doesnt appeal to people. Im not suprised to be honest.

lol, are you kicking its hole in everywhere? By god, 32mpg? Im constantly getting 31 mpg all day long in the 172!:eek:

Well lets face it, Tax is expensive on these and insurance is the mitigating factor in alot of these cars, and there not the most economical cars on the road! Im not suprised that trophy sold for £6500 the other week :o

Absolutley, there good standard but even better with a good coil over set-up. I do miss how low my Saxo sat though it was very convincing through corner speed, (that was lowered 35mm) Still prefer the 172, its a laugh to drive all day every day!

Nailed a deer? Kinky... Any way, thats a b*****d indeed. Maybe a fox will lick the blood off in the night?

Took my car here once for a Diagnostic check, think the lad drives a Astra VXR? Better putting the money towards a full Milltek system or somthing mate

Welcome mate. I used to own a Saxo VTS and coming to the Phase 1 172 has been fantastic. As you have had your share of French engineering i think you know what to expect from the Clio Sport, there very capable and can be reliable if you find a cherished example. For £4k you will be able to...

A man with taste indeed. I was up at Knockhill 2-3 years ago and there was a lad there with a purple one? He told me its a very rare example? I couldnt comment because i know not much about the BMW's? Also i think it was very tweaked as i was riding passenger in a 911 turbo and it was flying...

Cant fail with either tbh BUt i love the nimbus!

+1 He will really have to kiss arse on this one. If the Merc driver decides that hes not happy with the bumper/spray job then hes obliged to report it to the insurance firm. Although im not sure once hes entered a verbal agreement of the lad to have it fixed privatley without insurance...

Good write up mate, always intrested to hear its still runing well @ over 100k! I seen you were thinking of selling if you got the right money? Howcome? :o

I wouldnt attempt the bearings tbh. it just take them to a garage with a press to get them out i think

lol He asked for that

Suppose it makes it worth while when i forget its 7 years old :o

Once a week, polished every second Interior normally 1-2 times a week. Im a bit ott with it tbh!

Lay off guys, read the f**king story and take your opinion from there f**k sake, we arent all on CS wages u know!

Well when you find youself in the position to buy one make sure the belts done on the 182, as most if not all will be due

So did you ask the garage to carry out the timing belt or did they just do it? And how can he tell if the battery need replaced?

How difficult are engine mounts to do? Im thinking about giving it a bash tbh JUst gonna replace them all and the constant velocity joints aswell, all these parts seem to be made of chocolate :o

Same colour scheme as the Cooper GP for me i think, including the red mirrors. Not sure about the roof though... http://www.tuningnews.net/news/051101/jcw-mini-cooper-s-gp-10.jpg

As said once the Spoliers on itll be lovley Would have prepared the wheels to be Anthracite or Titanium but thats personal pref

Cupra R spliters the obvious choice @ only £19... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=364636&highlight=Cupra+R+splitter

You said they tried to rip the black mouldings out? I was under the impression that the 182's all came with body coloured bumpers and silver RS bullets??
