Sunday night 26th March at around 19:40. I didn't get a proper look at it as I was in a van with limited visability but it looked great from what I did see.

I've noticed that if I drive my 172 when the engine is cold, maybe only 1 minute after starting that it has a tendancy to accelerate but then back off the power briefly even though my foot has remained in the one position. Do they all do this? :) It's fine after a minute or two. No other car...

Standard height.

I used to have a new phone nearly every month, sometimes more often than that :D I've behaved though for the past year and have owned a Nokia 6630. Good phone and runs my sat nav but I'm replacing it with the N80.

Yeah I get that too at slow speeds, sounds like it's coming from the column immediately behind the dash in my 172.

You certainly used to be able to do so.

I'd think Nat is wanting to buy a 172 with as many creature comforts as possible rather than the Cup which is minus some.

I had a black Megane and it looked great when clean but they do show lots of light scratches and swirl marks.

When are you planning to buy?

1 previous owner :) The car is also in great condition and I love it.

I paid £6250 from a main dealer last month for a 02 plate with 32k miles. My 172 pics are here http://www.sneeks.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=6

The 8v was easily available for £6000 and the 16v for £6700 when my mum ordered hers.

I echo these thoughts.

My mum just bought one of those in that colour. It's a cracking looking colour when you see it in real life. I think my mum paid £6700 for her Campus Sport.

Between 85-100 miles from £10 in my 172

It is a good price but only because it's due for replacement very soon. We were not having a go at you, honest :)

I totally agree with Omar. But the One or await the new GO range.

I get a slight hissing sound whenever I put my foot down in my 172 and AFAIK I still have the original filter. It's been the same since I bought it in Feb.

He had my car for 2 days but he didn't work on it exclusively during that time :D I'd imagine for anyone coming in off the street that he doesn't know the cost may be closer to £300 but possibly cheaper. He's well worth contacting for anyone in the Central Scotland area.

It was the cam kit with pulleys he provided and fitted. His labour charges are incredibly low. I'm not complaining :)

I have Torx drive set so I should be ok :) I may buy a ITG Panel Filter next week.

Yes that was inclusive of fitting :) A local garage and mechanic who I've used for a couple of years now. Great guy, very trustworthy and knows his stuff when it comes to cars.

Hi Lisa, welcome to the forum.

I paid £236 for cam belt and aux belt change, new spark plugs, air and fuel filter replacement.

I found the input unit online for £40 and plan to buy one for my 172.

The Talex Lite will match any of the other more expensive units and can be bought for £39.99 at Somerfields (rrp £89.99). It's a gps based cam system and has voice warnings. Excellent value.

It's a high pitched vibration that sounds almost like plastic vibrating against something, I could be wrong though. I can recreate it easily enough by driving at 70mph in 4th gear.

It took me a bit of getting used to the clutch in the 172 in comparison to my old Saxo vts but you'll get there with it. It was made even more awkward for me cause I'd owned a C2 VTR for 8 months which didn't have a clutch :D

Is the fitting of this fairly easy? I'm crap at anything mechanical :D

Hi and welcome to the forum :)
