Why is it not possible to return 36mpg from 196bhp? Are you carrying extra weight since you modified it?

Eia spoiler isn't it?

His must be broke or have a leaded right foot as ours returned no less than 32mpg with 190bhp.

I've driven both, At length. Reliability the Fiesta will win, hands down. The gearbox is sublime, if your serious about driving it 16" wheels are a must. The seating position i found was slightly more acceptable, but not much. They are great all round cars and do most things well. Chain driven...

Great workmanship there kev, looks good!

LOL!!! Brilliant!

Superb, looks very oem aswell which i like!

Run it without the thermostat and that'll tell you? Was there pressure in the resouviour when you opened it?

I'm safe in the knowledge that my 126k, £800 Clio will not be a garage queen. Ever. LOL.

I'd take them off and atleast clean them, rules out any foul play and atleast it wont cost you anything..

Faulty earth strap? Poor terminal connections?

Irony. Do you speak it mother fucker?

I would love to think so, but i think there were far too many made for that, low mileage examples seem to pop up all the time from people that bought them from way-ward salesman telling them a 172 was 'exactly' what they needed...

I cannot emphasise enough how much i love your hate for that swt mob <3

They done a 172 as SOTW last year aswell...

+1 OEM is king.

I dont think any of you suggesting to sell it have negotiated with a heavily pregnant woman before lol

Sepang blue is the colour Kev, theres an industrial chemist near me with one on MTM wheels...

<3 Love them! Sisters boyfriend has a white one, it feels every bit as fast as they're suggested too. Only 750 for the uk aswell!

Feline like reactions lol...

Window reg my man. £30 from Renparts, bit fidly but nothing to a man of your calibre.. ;) The plastic triangular clip that goes through the window is usually to blame iirc. Also, the tiger seal holding the plastic on is a bit of a pain to pull back almost to the point where you think you...

jesus christ!!!

I'm just curios, if this thread never developed the way it did, would you have kept the stickers and rim tape on?

Aye i'm the same kev, its a shame that its happening. What i think is, people arent buying them as a result of; -Tax is dear -Petrol is a joke -Insurance is robbery The system in this country is really fucked. There is no way on earth im wearing that its "for the sake of earths preservation"...

A brand forced out as a result of the strangulation of UK taxes. Only more will suffer.

4.1s to 60???

Im old fashioned, wiper blades with no water is how i play the game

Keep seeing this everywhere, Greenock, Port Glasgow even seen it in Oban a few weeks ago, CS sticker in the window!

Spoil a lot of people's days in that...

Who really cares??? It's really not a big deal is it??
