You can have the tyres posted to you, then you can take them to be fitted at a garage.
(you will prob have to take the bill with ya though,to prove that they are new,as some places are funny about fitting tyres that they didnt supply)
I dont understand how come so many of you have problems with your 172s
my dad has one (a 52reg) the only thing that has ever gone wrong was the sat nav, but its all sorted now.
(finds a bit of wood to touch, now ive said that)
as i said before that is one very nice series one you have there, i love it.
it a shame i could never find a decent rs turbo !
i spent four months looking (that was 3 years ago) i have always promised myself one,one day !
has - your motor is sexy as fook mate !
im not too sure on the rear lights though, put the rest of it looks spot on, esp the tooras, what is it?
i see it has drums on the back ?
evo ... sometimes
used car buyer ( i know its full of second hand cars,but its a good mag)
fast ford
performance ford.
pgti ... sometimes (only if it features stuff im interested in)
lovely, you got any more pics of it ?
always wanted a series one rst - i will prob have a minter one day (if i can find one !)

I have never had a car with abs & that included my valver.
as for the original...
they came in on Sreg, the only differences are that the later ones have the leather interior & no side rub strips.
Nice motor mate, my bro is going to get one soon(ish)
I was reading fast ford the other day & a dude with a 3door sierra cossie couldnt decide which colour for his wheels either,so he did both!
the car was black & it has silver compomotive mos on one side & gold on the other !
Nutter.
TomS - I did actually plan to mod it etc, but i resisted while i owned it as it was such a good example !
it took me two months to find it, i only ended up with a valver after i spent four months looking for a mint un-modded 90 spec escort rs turbo !
but couldnt get one at all.
there are some...
im not sure tbh mate, i dont have it any more :( the only thing i swapped the gear knob for a willy one, but i kept the original !
it still had the original stickers in the windows as well (including a circular one on in the rear window celebrating williams f1 from 92-94)
I do miss that car, i...
