Yes your right, it will breack my heart when i see saxo vtr's over taking me lol :-s But i have made my bed now. At least i can say 'i had a quick car' And i know what it takes to own one!
It will be uber reliable and i will not have to worry about a single thing. I can also buy cheap crap fuel now, instead of the that over priced v-power rubish.
All i have to do is sit back and count the 1000's i will save! lol
From a 172 to a 68.. LOL
I must be the worlds first to do this lol.. but hear me out. Im 23 and im earning 22k a year and I rent my own house. Yet im really struggling to run my 02 172. Since I bought it I have replaced tyres and the front discs costing £190. The tax is due end of this...
I have had my 172 for 4 weeks now and my previous car was a pug 205 GLD diesel, so that was a massive step up.
I have wanted a 172 for over a year and i use to dream about what 172bhp on tap would feel like. And when I saved like a ***** to finaly buy one, im not actuly that impressed with the...
Im 23, I drive 172 with 0 NCB and pay £1100 with Direct Line.

My previous cars i learn't to drive in over 5 years...

Listen to see if the road noise increases with engine noise as it would normaly. If your engine is revving more than normal on flooring it compared to road noise then its slipping. Trust me you will no when a clutch slips.
If you buy an item from a private sale then you have no legal right to return those goods. I always sell my cars 'sold as seen' with both mine and the new owners signiture.
This is every clio owners worse nightmare! Makes me wanna change my cambelt everytime i drive my 172 lol!!
Test drove both, lack of saftey and comfort lost it for me. FF is the better everyday car that you have live with. Plus you can always turn a FF into a cup if you really wanted to.
Don't see the point in using a car which was built for the track on public roads.
Although id love to own a...
When you fill your tank is it coming out the top and switching the pump off? Im sure you should get more than £30's worth in there.
Only one way to find out and thats run your 182 till the fuel light comes on then fill it full.
Thanks Fred,
i orderd some smooth high carbon brembo discs from you yesterday and they arrvied today!!! WOW
Just got to save for the stupidly expensive rear's! Do i need to replace the ABS rings aswell as the bearings?

Hi people.
My brake pads were replaced on my 172 last year, but my disc's are starting to look a bit worn. They have not started scoring or squeeling but the discs are worn by at least 3-4mm.
the performance of the brakes is great but can someone tell me at what point should a disc be...
