y not just post the details here?

LMAO, a good rant! Hope you get it sorted.

I can identify the brick wall if that helps. Its opposite John Wilcox Competition Engines :D

Every 18,000 miles or 2 years whichever comes first, you take it to the garage. Theyll change the oil, oil filter, pollen filter and air filter, top up your washer fluid, check your tyres and brakes for wear, and maybe wash the car too. Most importantly of all they stamp your service book...

heres me in my old mans car. cat171 - show this to your Dad and see if you can get him to take his to Donington Park! http://homepages.tesco.net/~mmikee/t8640.jpg

You sure? I though that DTM style stuff was a bit last-century now. Worth giving k-tec racing a call http://www.ktecracing.comhttp://www.k-tecracing.com

Same as we do probably. Better exhaust and maybe a filter.

I dont think this one will be available in the UK. Saw some photos of it a while ago and the exhaust looks nice! 180 bhp is easily achievable on a 172 / Cup anyway.

Join this club you get +10 bhp ;)

If you rename the thread 172 Mk1 air filter replacement you might get a better response. On a Mk2 its dead easy even for a dead-head like me. Heres a bump anyway!

Who cares? Go with your heart GR. This isnt the first time youve posted about a V6, you know you want one, and this is probably your best chance to get hold of a new Supercar for £20k. JFDI.

I flashed you once in Sale Paddy! I usually flash or wave. If you get no response what the hell? It costs nothing.

Way to go Ivan! Lets keep this the great place it always has been :D I dont understand this IP sh*t but it sounds like you have this dudes ass in a sling...

Get it Sylvia, whats a few hundred pounds here and there anyway. Its a beautiful car, and a bargain. Id have it immediately if I didnt have to ferry the kids around.

I think its the bore of the exhaust thats different, but if you ring Demon Tweeks (number in the discount section) theyll be able to tell you.

Nice one John, keep the momentum going!

245 = 153mph. A 172 wont go that fast. About 140mph (around 225kph) is more realistic

All of the Clio Cup race cars have them. nuff said.

Mine went off (Vauxhall Astra) on a ferry a few years ago - the deckies were not happy :oops:

You can lock the car but disable the internal alarm sensors (to leave windows open or kids in car etc) by turning the ignition on and off twice before locking the car. I dont think its possible to lock the car with no alarm protection at all - cat 1 rules.

Maybe it depends what youre used to. On some road surfaces it can be a bit of a handful, but generally its fine, and not nearly as bad as some of the FWD superhatches that are out there at the moment. As for your dealer commenting that the steering is all over the place, I think he must be the...

Who cares anyway those discs look absolutely great!

Not really, just a man full of books! I got an alarm book with my car - nothing too detailed, just a couple of pages but in about 27 different languages. Youll never guess what the Spanish word is for beep....

If they are a proper Magnex dealer they would have done this no problems. Complain to Magnex if you dont get any joy from the place you bought it.

I think they do - I bought a ktr rear brace for mine and Im convinced it makes a difference. Just waiting for the front one now.

LOL. Hot air is ok in its place. But under your bonnet aint the place... You can get aftermarket filters for the 172 which work well.

How many miles has it done? Air filter isnt due for renewal until 18,000 miles, and plugs last around 72,000 apparently. theyll just be following the service schedule probably.

Nice one! I was beginning to think that the little out-of-town Telford dealer was the only good one in the whole world!

Yes, according to my book it means that its the interior ultrasonic sensors that have triggered the alarm.

Wow, is it a car, is it a plane........???
