I had a 172 come back under warranty with a misfire. Whipped it all apart and it had blown the plug out of the far left chamber. The (Bosch super 4!!! Grrrr) plugs were minging so I replaced them with new genuine ones, fitted all up tightly and perfectly, and away the guy went. This was about...

You snooze you lose.

Speak to ''Dan@M.A.D'' on here. He does them.

To use up some paint I expect! lol. There was something about them, I can't remember though so it obviously wasn't anything exciting! lol.

Well he sounds like he knows what he's on about, which is a good thing!

I'd want more details on the history (What miles/time was it done?) and i'd want to know who did the cambelt. Other than that, looks a nice car! Price nicely too.

That looks like standard cup suspension. I've got a standard cup and a coilovered cup at the minute and the standard one looks like its on axel stands when parked next to the coilovered one.

You have a spare tyre on a 182??

Cub 172's Flamer Project We may stay sat night. I certainly don't want to drive there and back in a day plus a days track driving!

I must have missed the part where I said I was going to make money. :S When did I say that??

Cub 172's Flamer Project :D I do love you. X Are you doing Bedford?? I'm going to book it tomorrow but Sam lands from Australia on the evening before! Proper messed up my plans of a hotel and a piss up.

They'd look good in 18 inch with the car on its ass but tbh, that's not what the Clio is all about. Leave that to the vag boys.

He never said wiper arms, he said wipers. Hence my reaction.

Cub 172's Flamer Project f**k me that's nice!!!

Not sure if srs....

Drive it!! Me the wife and kids, sunny sunday afternoon out to a country pub in a minter old school car. Just like me and my parents in my dads old cortina! Lol.

Right, just done a deal on a much nicer one. So now I have to do another 400 miles to collect the one in Yorkshire & bring it back to Bristol, then get myself to Clacton on Sea (Where??) and collect this other, much more genuine rust free one, then sell the heap and hope I don't lose too much...

I've put £10 of petrol in it today, its mot'd and you can drive it on my insurance! But its not taxed so that's up to you. You're welcome to take it out though mate.

LOL!! Please?? You've got the keys, just drive it into a river... It will be gone within 7 days mate, promise. x

I think I might have just bought another one.... A much better example with no rot for a start!! Oh dear, what the fcuk have I started...

There was a dog going MENTAL at us. He clearly didn't like it! lol

No time and my mates losing his unit very soon so nowhere to do it either. If I did anything with it, i'd get my bodyshop to do it. I need to get it back home and take a second look at it. I think I might be being over critical for a nearly 24 year old car. Oooh, maybe you'll know, where can...

Good ones sell for around £2k. They need to be either red grey black or white though. The blue, silver, gold etc are harder to sell.

I don't know if I've got the enthusiasm to go that deep into it mate. The passenger side rear wing is hilarious. Looks like they rubbed the filler down with a Rasp ffs!

Cheers dude, but It's really not!!

1989 Ford orion 1.6i Ghia. Bought and collected it today from Wakefield which was an 11 hour round trip... And it's still in Yorkshire! I had to collect Mike Jenics 172 Cup that I bought off him 2/3 weeks ago and took a mate to drive the orion back. But we got there and the car has been...

That's a very nice car mate, especially for someone who looks 14. I'd buy one for my Mrs but its a bit too homo for me. Got any plans for it mate?

Wifes car: My daily: (Not the red heap of crap!)

Yup. My Meg 225 Demonstator (That staff, customers, EVERYONE) used to hammer everywhere, did 25mpg.

I've had 4 197's and a 200, none of them got over 26mpg.
