I cant fault them tbh.I used to have an import 172 and took it to telford but they were tossers about the whole car and used to take the piss with whats covered by warranty and stuff.Even after i showed them a letter from ren U.K stating all cars were covered after jan 2002 they were still crap...
Mines always been very good.I can get around 350+miles on a tank with spireted driving to wales and back.I only really use at weekends to go to wales for some chips as a fun drive.Hence 5k in a year

If its got the power it claims then it should be chasing down evo's.
Love to see a vid of that on a D/C.Like the old 270 bhp escort RST from mitchy a while ago...

This vid is so old it came out as the internet was taking off and before streetfire and the likes.I remember it being on the news and they said 10k was sold and one of the buyers was a cop who shopped him

After a temp cooling sensor decided to throw in the towel on my 182 the other day i decided to do a little test on the way to renault wolverhampton this morning for some warranty work.
Driving there i didnt get over 55mph on the road from leegomery through priorslee and over to shifnal through...
Forget the figures although they are fast still.
When they look like this you cant argue that a willy or a 5gtt is qiucker.There are old 1978 mini's that are quicker with ctr engines in them,but thats just not the point.

Go private mate.My best mate has his own garage so the parts are ordered through him and he charges mates rates for the rest..
Either way a private garage/specialist is going to be cheaper...

I dont depend on it too much.Ive had it reading 80 miles and gone round an island quick and its came on....
Its a victim of its own accuracy if you ask me.The computer reads the car a thousand times a second and any increase or decrease means something else

Must be bad if he has'nt posted it.
I got my old fiesta rs done at aldon.Dastek re-map,full magnex including cat pipe and air filter.Got 148 bhp from a standard 130bhp.They charged me £380 all in( i bought the exhaust and air filter)and it was there for nearly 4.5 hrs to get it right.They spoke...
We must of passed each other griff.My car was in today having the cooling temp sensor repaired.Pretty gash attempt at a sport.Have you seen the outgoing model look-a-like in the showroom?it looks like its on 14's in silver with a double grey stripe down the middle of the bonnet.
That sport...
Mass debating is good for the soul and gives the oldies a chance to have there say.
But as usual its normally a modded willy that says his car is the benchmark.
A striped out cup v's a willy is best for comparison

I used to own a mint RS show and shine national day winner with dastek chip and induction with a full magnex exhaust and cat pipe and it made 150 bhp.
I would'nt put it against my 182.
A guy at work has a n reg RS1800 and its no faster than a saxo vtr tbh.
I used to love mine but it was a...
