Or lucky depending how you look at it:D

Hope mine just needs bleeding, I dont need that type of hastle:(

It seems to be fine on gentle to medium braking, it's just if you brake full on from 60-0 it brakes well but it hits the metal and holds there. Kind of still stops well but never getting much abs response at any point.

Cheers for that, don't think I have gone close to the point of fading yet though, my last car was a pug 306 td (tuned) and the brakes on that thing did fade:dapprove: . Still getting used to all the power at the mo, so think the standard brakes should do for now. All the reviews I read said it...

Right, okay then will get it back to the garage I got it from. Wasn't sure if it might have been the esp/abs taking over things. But as long as I know it isn't normal then thats fine. Cheers:D

Hi all, picked up my new car. First off WOW, amazing car for the money and loving it:) . Question though, I notice if I slam my brakes as hard as poss the pedel hits the metal as it were. It still seems to stop well but I am not sure if it should hit the metal? Should note that when I got the...

The extra grunt will be good I think. It will also be nice to have a modern interior.

Made sure I got one with ESP on for that reason. It's also nice to know that it will be quicker than the cooper s:D

As much as I like my bike I would take the 172 any day over a 1L new corsa (the best I could afford). I was thinking of the astra sri2.2 or a st170, but after a test drive of a 172 it had to be a hot hatch over a warm hatch. That and my brother has a cooper s, so I had to get something that will...

Its an iceberg silver and will get pics up over the weekend. 3 bikes and 3 people, that must have been a task:D

I know but I'm sure it would be worth it when the time comes. What is the cheapest/easiest way of getting them to 200bhp? Also has anyone ever tried to get a mountain bike in the back (with seat down) of one? I never got chance to try on the test drives.

Dont think I can afford anything for the first year at least. The first thing will probably be a SS exhaust once the standard one drops off. Its a shame it isn't as easy as changing the boost and adjusting the fuel pump/compensator as on the pug to get an extra 20-25 bhp. Oh well cant have it...

Hi all, as above and can’t wait now:D . I would just like to thank all for the great info on this site. Its all helped me whilst trying to find a good 172 (hopefully anyway). I will be handing over the keys of my manually tuned Pug 306 TD for the 172. It has given me a few years of fun driving...

http://www.modaco.com/ http://www.xda-developers.com/ http://www.freewareppc.com/ You might find something on these sites that might help. If not you can at least get a fiver off your bill each month from M-Panel on Modaco. (I do and they do pay up:) ) How are you finding the Vario 3? I have...

That will be the one!!

That is good, but yes it is £3. Heard it on the radio the other week and I used it checking the car I get next week (can't wait:) ). Good for when your out looking. Has to be said though, I have not had this months phone bill bill yet.

Hi you can get it by texting 83600 for £3, you get the vin, number of owners, colour/changes not stolen/scrapped and if its had a total loss claim against it. Does not tell you if it is a UK import though.

Yeah, cheers folks:) . Been looking a while on trader and pistonheads and to me it looks good for a dealer. He has 4 in at the moment so can compare the drive on them.

Hi, I have been reading the forums for abit now (because I am after getting a 172!) The site seems very good and I have found alot of useful info so thanks to all. I have also test drive the following clio. CN53 MZL 2003 53 Reg RENAULT Clio 2.0 16v Renaultsport 172 3 Doors, Manual, Hatchback...
