What's the consensus on things like injector cleaning additives and stuff? Are they and engine placebo, doing feck all for you other than draining your wallet? D.

^^^^^ - steady on - you'll have my wife on your case! :) D.

John - black was about the only colour I didn't see! :) A couple of silvers, the Cup and a dark blue 172.... D.

To backup what wozzaa said - 99% of the pre-loaded shite that manufacturers put on their PCs just makes the PC run slower. And you'll probably never use it. HP (the lower spec machines at least) don't seem that bogged down. The worst (by a HOOOOGE margin) is Sony with their Vaios. Not had much...

Saw quite a few over the course of yesterday and today. A great looking 172 Cup with black alloys too. Of the ones I saw, none appeared to have a CS sticker though.... :( D

Thanks for the responses, Ben, & Ben (!) and I fully take on board what you're saying regarding target market etc. But taking my example from before, why would Porsche opt to make the 968 a 4-pot if a V6, flat-6 or V8 has more power potential? It's not like money is an object to Porsche - and in...

What's the relationship between the number of cylinders and CCs? Why do some manufacturers make a small V6 - like the 1.8 found in the MX3 and others make large 4-pots like the 3.0litre in the Porsche 968? Would it be likely that Reno would have ever considered a 3.0litre, 4-cyl in the V6...

Seb - get yourself a spindle-pack of CD-Rs m8. They are dirt cheap these days - especially if you've got loads of music on there... D.

Cheers guys - glad to hear that I'm not the only one that's had this! I'll check those nuts CDC - see if any are loose. D.

Got in the car this morning and used the wipers a bit (never a good place to park is it, under trees?). They worked fine as normal, then a few streaks ran down the screen, so I put the wipers on again to clear it. Nothing - either on intermittent or full. I tried the washer jets and just got...

The man to ask is RS-Steve....... D.

Eh? Where's me post gone from here? I sent one saying that it was probably FM and now its gone into the ether....??? D.

Jeezuz - is that the Petrol Blue colour?! That looks bloody superb - any more pics? :D D.

Sounds like a good solution m8. French diesels are pretty reliable as well and the fact that its only costing you £1.5k to begin with, seems like a bit of a bargain. The best bit is looking forward to the 172 at the weekend - it will probably make you appreciate it even more! ;) D.

I think a few people have said something similar, m8. Thats friggin scary... :o And if youve been on the motorway like you say, the brakes should be nice and cool - not over-cooked and useless.... :confused: D.

Too right! Who wants a bloody French car anyway?! ;) D.

Clarkie - same here m8. They were mithering me on a daily basis, three months or so after Id sold my GT. How many times does it take before they understand "f**k OFF - ITS GONE!!!!!"? ;) Bad news Bailey - sad to hear that..... Someone MUST buy it soon? :confused: D. [Edited by Darren S on...

Interesting to see the differences in the blues in similar pictures. (Just had to nick your piccy above RB! - did you get that keyed scratch sorted out, btw??) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/my182.jpg Arctic blue...

Had that done before - £225 for a brand new front wing...... :@ Stupid, thick, mindless little tw*ts..... :@ D.

Either that, or its your previous car coming back to haunt you - in a Stephen King Christine stylee sort of way?! D.

Anyone fancy posting this thread link to their enquiries email address?! :cool: "Look guys - just look at all of the positive feedback out there! Those CS mob guys have even emailed us directly. Gee, were great arent we? Lets open it up and see what it says! [double clicky, followed by 5...

I dont think the leadtimes have changed much. I had to wait well over 6 weeks for mine through Car Select, last December. To be fair, they told me that amount of time before I even ordered it, so I couldnt really grumble. Trust me, the wait will be worth it. I was smiling like b*****d the...

I think the 172 had a private reg starting A20 and the 182 - not sure on as it was on the other side of the carriageway. Anyone here? Just after 1pm this afternoon.... D.

That close to home on a smooth stretch of tarmac, eh? I was on that bit at around 10.30pm last night - would have been funny to compare my boggo 182 against a top-notch LAD version..... ;) When I went down South the other week in that stop-start car park that is the M6 - I was alongside a...

I take it that that touched a nerve, dave??? :p D.

Ive started noticing a lot of new shape Corsas (usually 1.2s) that try to out-run the 182. They are the usual blob of black on the road - black paint, heavy-tints, smoked lenses - only the reg plate and Vauxhall badging stands out! ;) Im just not sure why its the Corsas though. Maybe they...

Probably not quite up to Brazos and R-Jays standard, but I gave the wifes car a decent wash today...... after mine, of course! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/DSCN1639.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/DSCN1640.jpg...

You need a larger CS sticker in the rear screen. I almost couldnt see it... ;) D.

Probably not my cup of tea m8, but the only thing I would definitely take off would be the Sport badge off the boot. Thumbs up to you though - youve come on here and asked for honest opinions and took both the good and bad points on the chin. :D D.
