Roads are clearin up now , M65 , round whitebirks clear too , i think you should be ok drivin over to Manchester . A combination of salt n sun works wonders :)
MrBillyUK !
Buggers them Blackburn kids ,lol, especially those round the farthings area , they've got no respect like the kids in Darwen ;)
The kids in Darwen come round and say " can i help clear the snow away Mr ? "
So we reply " how much do ya want ? "
They reply " nothing , we just want to...
I've used this stuff loads of times , wrought iron gates , fences etc ... paint it on , paint over it , rust never came back .
But i agree if the rusts that bad , it will need cutting out if its only surface rust this stuffs good enough for me .
MrBillyUK
Except for the little b*stards who can't be arsed bend down and pick up the snow , so they just scrape their tiny little angelic hands right across your bonnet , roof and sides of the car lol ;)
MrBillyUK !
Just deleted what i said , thought you had changed the rear pads , now i've just read it again .
Caliper on the back of a 1.2 ? Don't you have brake drums ??
MrBillyUK
Theres f*ck all worth lookin at on ntl's newsgroups :( Get yourself bit tornado and get onto

Good speeds to be had on here :)
Read the FAQ's though cos they don't allow some trackers .
Its always my first port of call before mininova , isohunt etc .....for...
Shes from Ossie iirc . Looks more like one of the many Blackburn 2 o'clock princess's ya see down Darwen street round the kebab shops ,lol ;)
MrBillyUK !
You need to stop the rust from coming back . Is it bad enough it needs filling ?
You can get this to paint on before you ,fill or prime it kills rust .
MrBillyUK !
Could it not be the adjuster screw rusted and seized ? I stripped some rear calipers down from an 02 plate 172 , one caliper was ok the other was seized solid .
MrBillyUK !
If your sellin yours mate try private rather than tradin it in if you can , you'll get alot more . One dealer offered me £4000 for my 51 plate full fat 172 , very good condition . I got £5900 private through autotrader .
Still some good prices for 12 months old or less just keep lookin ...
If you can find one . Gettin like rockin horse sh*t now in any other colour than titanium .
Mine was £12,227 on the road , both cup packs arctic blue a couple of weeks ago from motorpoint , i think they've sold the last of theirs now .
MrBillyUK !
I'm not sure that the 197 will have that much effect on prices on 182 /172 's . Its a completely different car , looks wise , the performance isn't that great considering the rumour of it going to be able to hit 150mph were as its only got a top speed of 134mph .
Imo i think that the majority...
I once drove through Great Harwood , well i think i did , blink and ya miss it , but if you moved to Darwen from Great Harwood i don't think you'd miss it ,lol ;)
MrBillyUK !
I had a powerflow exhaust on my old 172 , looked exactly like the original renault exhaust . Stainless , cat back £270 fitted .Sounded good as well :)
You can choose what back box you want , how loud you want it .
You might see a couple of bhp over standard but won't make any noticeable...
Now i'm confused :S
I'M 100% absolutely , positively sure you said Black . Unless its my lack of sleep :sleepy: playin tricks with my old eyes .
Definitely wasn't me anyway , like i've said before , i try and keep away from that bad ass town , i only frequent the more upmarket places like...
I got my new 182 3 weeks ago , both cup packs , delivery mileage , £12,227 on the road .

Check autotraders website , still a few new ones about for alot less than you have seen .
MrBillyUK !
For the mileage I thought that the Williams would be alot cleaner than that.
I agree . Always wary about new sellers , no feedback , nothing else for sale etc ......
If it was really an " enthusiasts " car with hardly any miles on the clock you would think that it would be cleaner , and...
According to this article , it should be £100 on top of a normal service for the aux belt doin' !
Looks like they might have charged ya and not done it :(
Wait for some more posts , and see what others have to say . Either way i'd be pretty f*ckin mad cos its supposed to be done at 36k , so...
