ford have been making the best affordable handling cars for years and for fun! this is a flagship car for them remember.
a think your corsa is a cracker but unless you have some other chassis under it no matter how much suspension you add a standard st will corner better,a lot better.
i laughed at this im sorry but im just back from picking up 2 from my ren dealer/scrappies for my friend hers is an o6 and the mechanism broke warranty wsnt having any of it!.
20 quid for 2 runners hun.
not bad does the trick 20 minute job all in.
hi mate you should have disconnected the battery before the seat removal.
make sure you have the radio code and disconnect the battery for 1min re-connect should hopefully be okay.
do not use wd40 on anything like that my friend
brilliant find mate,am buzzing for you,really am.
i had a quick read at the thread
before i had a look at the wheel,but its nothing i work in a bodyshop
we get kerbed wheels in all the time that wheel only has scuff marks
i would feel bad for taking £80 never mind £160!
well done again mate...
we save a lot of headlamps in our bodyshop with polishing.
if the buff doesnt do it to start with, a light wet flatten can help and will polish up no problem.
ive seen lights fixed with a sander and 400 grit pad!then polish up brand new.
defo been damaged somehow.
just funny how sellers dont say anything and you could
travel hundreds of miles to see a car.then realise it a horror.
really no wonder its been on so long.

a think its funny how he has neglected to mention its been resprayed.
he mentions the colour is light blue!
cheers rich.that steering wheel comment made me laugh! you only have to sit in any other car to know how massive it is.
feeling sold on the 172 just now having not owned one yet and something a need to do at least once.
thanks again

hi rich had athread yesterday about buying a car under 5k
was between 172 and gti but a was worried bout missing on the refinements
of the 172 could save 2k buying a gti so its still weighing on my mind
whats your thoughts
thanks gal/
lol am being fussy but one with turinis would be ideal
colours not a big deal starting to come round to silver!
so many for sale.i have a black clio at the mo so no mo black!
av worked out insurance and petrol wise seems okay but upkeep am
not sure about and kinda worried bout buying one...
av been drooling over st's and even zetec-s new shape
but price is just not right just now my bro works for ford and gets a great discount but think they are just a bit above budget.
when you look at under 5k for a 172 a just cnt justify paying over that
would love a 182 with cup packs but like...
lol a know mate her words are you deal with the car side of things and all spend your money on me baby and the house! hmmm fair!
so if a want one goin to have to put my size 10 (really an 8) down!
wondering if you could tell me if there is much variant in 02-03 except removing the driver door...
thanks again guys.
the cup am not sure about because no xenons or air con, not digging the seats.also got a bambino so like it to be as comfortable as poss!lol
just cant seem to get by a 172! the mrs doesnt see the point because we have a "clio" she says!
