    Is 60k really high miles?

    Just been browsing on Pistonheads and looking at 172's between £4k & £5k and there are a few dotted around but all seem to be 60k> Is that really high miles though? Considering a few of these are now 6 year old cars I'd say 60k is average more than anything else. Surely the car will be nice...

    I'm looking to buy a 172 Cup in a few months time but have a budget of £5000 max. Is £5000 going to get me a good example? Pref with belts chnaged and good service history, or is this bottom of the barrel 172 Cup money? Would another £6000 put me in a better price bracket or will this be...

    172 for £4k?

    Hi. Ok, so I'm thinking of replacing the Valver soon with a new car. I was very tempted by a 106 GTi as I think they look ace, but I was put off by the very basic interior and quite high prices. I've seen quite a few 172's cropping up for around the £4k mark (my budget). Is this the...

    Will a 1.4e head fit a 1.6e bottom end

    Will a Phase1 1.4e head fit the bottom end of a 1.6e?. Afaik the 1.6e is just a bored out 1.4. So does that mean a 1.6 bottom end will fit straight in, slap the 1.4 head on and away you go?. Anyone got any ideas? Cheers.

    Should I.

    Hi. I currently own a 1.4 Clio which I really like but my only gripe is that it is 5 doors. Ok convenient and not too different but tbh I prefer the looks of a 3 door and dont really want to do too much more to this car as its 5 doors. Ive been looking around and noticed the Clio Rsi which has...
