get a specialist to do it, they know what they are on about.

its about £400 isnt it ?

my dads got it in his mk2 172 (factory fitted) he has the idea that if my mum had it (just a portable one etc) in her focus shed drive further & to more places (she hates maps) i know about tom tom, what else is there out there? we are looking at ones which plug into the cig lighter & are...

I like that interior too. the only thing i dont like on v6s is the fact that apart from the centre tunnel, the interior just looks the same as a172 etc.

looks nice, but it looks like it needs new fog lights? as they look corroded. the only thing i dont like are the wheels, sorry i much prefer phase 2 valver alloys.

yep it is true, get the cambelt done about 60k or about 5 years (which ever comes first) you dont want it snapping on you. a service is only about £80.00 I never changed the oil on mine once - i always had it serviced (they changed the oil etc) mailny to keep up the stamps in the service book.

how much then ???

thta car look proper funky inside ! not keen on the back of it though, even so i do like it.

go and have a look, look out for the signs that its an import (shouldnt make any difference though) but import cars sell for less. check its got a cat1 alarm etc. other than that, it could be complete dog, hence price !

he seems to have a lot of positives though, maybe all the little scrotes in novas have bought them.

iirc he sl*gged off a mod or some one on another site & got clocked (i think thats what happened) not 100% sure though. if im wrong, im sure some one will set the record straight.

1995 m reg valvers onwards have an air bag, 1994 m reg ones & older dont. my valver was a 94 M reg (reg 01/08/94) and it had nothing apart from power steering, which they all have (it did have factory leather though, which is lovely, but well rare)

*cough 2.0 it *cough !!

im in love with it !

i will have 4 yrs next year, but i live in romord, so i have an RM postcode, which puts it up a fair bit. £850 is still good though, but i will shop around first. the quote of £874.00 at 21 is excellent, you must live in a proper good area with no car crime !

nice one ! im thinking of getting one next year - when i can afford it ! (plus ill be 25 then, its £850 f/c for me then ! bargain)

check the excess with elepahnat, as mine was more than my insurance on my valver !!! insurance was £416.00 f/c, excess was £450 !! im 24 btw, with 3 yrs ncd.

working now !! im not a fan of almera gtis at all though !

roll on a five page thread now !

no pics !!!

As Tom said, buy a decent example & you wont go wrong, they do take cash to keep them up to scratch & in the best possible condition, if your thinking of running it on a budget - forget it !!! most people want sh*t loads of cash to work on them, so id advise finding a decent specialist (one with...

aye, yeah hes banned for ever. I knew i recognised that reg number !

my drivers side rear one on my valver had problems, i ended up buying a new caliper from gsf in the end.

fapping quick !!! as sadi, i think it would look loads better with the bonnet unpainted & the carbon fibre showing (god knows how youd get the paint off though) plus getting the wheels done in anthracite would really set it off. love it !

Welcome:)

^agreed.

id do them in gloss white.

go on a few mk1 golf sites, look up cars for sale then show your findings to them. is this the red mk1 that was burn out ? it is, its worth well over a grand !

on a black mini !!! whose its it ? i know some one on here had that reg plate ! mini has an evo mag sticker in the rear window & (i think) it had a chequered roof. Saw it near Sidcup in Kent, i was in a mini bus goig to my mates party & the mini turned in front of us & saw the reg.

I prefer the standard mk2 172 wheels tbh.
