Totally happy with my purchase, dont plan on changing the car for another 3-4 years :D

I have a mk2 172, but my power steering isnt whiney at all

I would have thought so, 89Kgs of the cup... a 172 + rick waller(191Kg) = about 1300Kg 1300kg - your weight in your 1.2 + 1.2 clio weight.. you do the math ;)

F14 Tomcat. Fuel bills would be quite high though, probably about 10gpm

btw, I heard there was a factory option for N20 on the new MG

I want a phat car too (oooh the max power shame of it..) Stick with the R5 GTT and get the Cup you stupid bimbo..

are you sure it isnt.. you say something then you think about it ? ;)

Oakley is correct, they call it mayonaise, very common on the old 205 GTis..

LOL.. lets not carry this over to too many threads.. hehe Looking forward to the show tonight, wonder if she will go with the CUP, cracking cars for the money (just to make up for my earlier dig at them)

Tesco was the best for me, 24 with 4 year NCB, 7 points on license.. £780 Fully Comp on a 2002 172

I know !!. Got it from a guy of this forum, had to fly down to london to pick it up.. I thought to myself, there is bound to be something wrong ! something major.. but NO aside from a little kerbing of alloys the car is MINTED ! its the best buy I have ever made... Plus when I come to sell...

Well I got my clio, on private sale for 9K It is a 2002 mkII with 5600 miles on the clock, the cd changer cassette and locking wheel nut adapter was missing .. CD changer cassette cost £16. Bargin !

well I bought my 2002 MKII 172 with 5600 miles on the clock for £9000 I dont think they generate as much interest as their looks are very subtle compared to a standard Clio.

which one was gripping more ? the contis or the pirrelli, cause some people say the contis are crap, others that they are brill ?

I got slated for saying that in another post, but I have to agree, they look boxy and dated, the interior looks cheap too. But as for engine and performance abilities, they are brill. Its like the 205 GTi I used to own, what a brill car, but interior was sooo dated, and the 205 GTis looks...

http://64.207.13.28/mysmilies/contrib/dvv/cwmddd.gif say what ?

if the ABS light is on then according to the manual, there is a fault with the ABS (duh!) and that your ABS system has been disabled until it is fixed. So if youre ABS light is on be warned that you will not have ABS assistance during lock-ups.

actually a thinner tire provides more grip in snow and ice..

hopefully by then a bolt on turbo will be out for the 172, :devilish:;)

I pitty the foool .. I DO I DO.. i pitty the fool.. sorry was watching A-team last night, the got stuck in a cave (that seem to come with a workshop) and built a rock cruching/drilling machine.. hehe For nostalgia purposes click http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/thm.mp3http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/thm.mp3

My mums old escort had the same tyres on for 7 years, and they were still legal when she sold it. 7 years !!! not one tyre changed..

I would hardly class the 172 as a "nippy" car.... lol but I agree all the Nova boys dont even bother you.. they either know what it is and stay clear or havent got a clue.. I am more inclined to believe the "havent got a clue" one. I cant state it enough, I love the Clio in its understated...

haha.. PMSL.. I actually started lauging really loudly in my office.. im sure the people at the other end of the corridor would have heard me.. The reason is before i got my 172 I owned a Micra (1.0) and that was about the only thing you could overtake.. hehe Still I cant really knock the...

hmm, I wonder if the heated mirrors would affect the external temp sensor.. lol, from -5 to 20 degrees.. if only...
