I understand what your saying regarding the previous owners. But i feel its the sort of car someone buys on impulse, then realises the cost of insurance, fuel and tax etc may be un-affordable. Two ways of looking at it really as you all have mentioned. I dunno :( Its a solid and well looked...
E-mailed the seller regarding the dials. In all honestly he didn't know they were different, but after contacting Renault was told they were an optional extra... Plenty other deals to chose from so will give this option a miss.
I've seen two black 172's now with 1.2 dash clocks. Is this common for a 172 at this age? They were both 52 plates

If you modify your car, make sure you tell the insurance. I had a 172 replica, everything on it apart from the engine, and i listed everything to the insurance. I was crashed into in november, six weeks after the crash my car was accessed, and they got back to me saying the car is heavly...
lol^ You will have to take me for a ride in yours Chris to aid my decision ;) But im in favour of a 172 due to the reasons above. Its the same car! If i get one without TCS im looking at 4/5 grand max
Lol. I put deposit on it, but my insurance money hadn't come through in time, so i had to pull out. I then bought a red 172 in Southport, and the guy sold it to someone else whilst i was half way down the Country picking it up. So i got a Mk1 clio at the moment until im 21 at the end of feb. The...
Hi. OK im after a MK2 172. The ones for 5.5/7k have traction control on them. The earlier models of this phase 51plate to late 02 dont have TCS. Does it make a huge difference? Theres some really cheap 172's about without the TCS. Should i pay the extra £1500 or so to a model with TCS?
I...
Got mine from there. The rear one started to peel, so i ordered another. It arrived a month later, complete with someone elses set of plates plus the one i'd ordered. Ideal for driving through London ;)
I wouldn't declare them, as its a factory option. If you purchased a BMW new, and they asked you to spec it. Would you then tell your insurance company that BMW has modified your car......
Yer i need a new camera. Not that i can afford one now though! I'll be bringing it to some meets when i can. (Not before i can bribe Rick to PC it for me though :D) Looks really nice. It's had new tyres and disc's on it. 21k miles, RFSH. I'll be the third owner. First was a police man and...
Well after getting hit from behind then shunted into another car, I was told she was a write off. Was really upset about it as i loved that car.... well what better car to replace it with....
Sorry pictures are crap. will get a better one when i pick it up. :D:D:D well chuffed!
Hey peeps.
Hopefully viewing a 2003 Mk2 172 tomorrow. Its got 34k on the clock with FSH. They want £5800 for it, looking at whats about this seem's quite well priced. Just wondered what the experts feel.... Anything in particular i should be aware of with these models?

Ive got a set in the garage, they work perfectly. However all the mounting clips are broke and the cases are cracked.... Hmmm wonder what there worth :S
Don't know whats happening with the car yet. If i get payed out, i want to buy it back, then maybe put the bits on another clio. Will sell the rest though.
nope. They'll probably want the car so they can make money from the parts. It's being accessed tomorrow. I've still got the V5 form so it's mine until i sign it over.
i know i know :( I just miss it to much. Im not driving about in a shitt3r until Early March though :) However i could sell on the car in march less the parts if i keep the original bumpers. I want my existing car back so i can strip it completly. Scrap the useless shell and have nightrider back...
I’m considering cloning the car onto another dynamique. I've seen one for sale for £2000, bit scruffy, but no previous accident damage, with service history etc, and its pearl black. For some stupid reason, i only like this car as it looked the nuts and was cheap to run. I only want a 172.182 to...
If the insurance company allow me to buy back the car, does this look repairable?
All the seatbelt pretensioners have fired, so the belts are really tight like this. The drivers seat belt is really long and stiff. SERV light is now on. airbags are all in tact which i was surprised about...
Ive taken the lights and splitter off, can't swap anything else as the cars at a compound and ive not anything to swap them with. If its written off i want to buy it back off them. I know the fronts repairable, but the boot floor is bent, as is the drivers rear quater. Basically a crease mark...
