Same here, only seen a few. Sure I've seen Faxo round Outlane way a few times mind?

Try it, sounds much better imo:cool:

Had mine off for ages now. I still managed to get 45mpg on a very boring 90 mile motorway run and my normal running about seems to be the same as it was with it. Can't notice any difference in performance whats so ever.

Unlucky, could you not hear it knocking or any other symptoms?

Gutted, but at least your in one piece.

Pull the lid off the steering column (no screws) and check the connection behind that. That's what caused the airbag and service light on mine a while ago.

I got mine done by a cam belt specialist near me for £270 (mates rates). Should be £300 to anyone else and that's a normal 172 with climate....

They might go down a bit by December but not much imo. You have to decide if its worth paying that little extra to have it now and start enjoying it or wait a few months to save a few hundred at most. You could end up waiting for ever with that way of thought because if you wait from December...

Thats one of the great things about the 1*2's imo they do go together;) Can't beat a bit of thread resurrection lol.

+1 I had to run mine for nearly 2 weeks like that. Sounded nice up to 3000 rpm then just made the ears bleed after that. Not a good idea:S

The clutch in my 172 is nothing compared to the one in my old 306, now that was stiff. Only thing that had me stalling when I got it was the crazily high bite point.

very true we should all drive with our eyes open and its very rare that these situations arise but they do sometimes and abs can help prevent accidents when they do. Oh and Mark when I said about cup drivers thinking they are better drivers I was not refering to all cup drivers, including...

In all the years I have been driving I have never needed abs also but the fact remains it does save lives . You might never put your self in a situation to need it but other people on the road can put you in that situation and on that one occasion if/when it happens can save lives or your car...

On public roads abs saves lives, simple as! People should be able to modulate there braking and drive within the conditions of the road, but on the roads things can happen that are out of the drivers control. In those situations abs will always work better than any human attempt. To many cup...

Well £265 in the end:( Failed on hazard switch, 1 track rod end, front disks/pads, removed and refitted CV boots with grease and the MOT. Then had to get 6 months tax straight after. Gutted:(

I got 45 on the computer on a 90 mile motorway run the other week. It was so boring it was untrue.

You could also say the same for Honda.

Got mine tomorrow:( fingers crossed.

I'd say I thrash mine just as much as I would a cup tbh...

In a straight line it can go either way but would still be close(get one with a good engine!). In the twisties I can't see the cup getting that far ahead, it would be down to the driver imo. I also prefer the mod cons you get with the full fat:quiet: It also still puts that smile on my face...

Sorry you are wrong, and a fool if you think a 1*2 would be close. Start from 6 min gGn1oXTpqRU

The 231 was as quick as a 350z which was as quick as a M3 round the top gear or fifth gear track if not both lol. The clio wouldn't stand a chance against one lol.

The belt itself only costs £10 so might as well.

I paid £270 for cambelt and auxbelt change the other week.

Sounds odd:S Should always leave your car in gear. I found that out the hard way when I was younger.

Some nice pics, I would (and will one day) love to do a trip like that.

Got mine made and fitted while I waited. Took 2-3h. Booked it in the week before. Make sure you get a good place, I've heard some do a poor job compared to others.
