Glad you're happy with her mate Enjoy Regards Owen

Sold as seen today Money in the bank and drive empty ready for the new one (which has now been delayed until 16th! doh! bit of a bugger really as I'm now car less!) Hope the new owner enjoys her as much as I did

Autotrader advert amended!

Thanks for all the input guys Its just getting more and more depressing though...... here is the pistonheads advert if anyone is interested http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/60997.htm

Thanks for the input Green George, I prob needed the wake up call - Suppose we all like to think our motors are worth millions! Have unfortunately already shelled out 390 beer tokens on the extended warranty - thats why I was asking so much as I would have liked to recoup some of that...

Thanks for the advice MRBILLYUK. I know the pics are pretty naff - was in a rush to wash it and snap it before the light disappeared - will get some better pics this week. Will def look into modifying the advert as you suggest Thanks again for the input Owen

30k on the clock, FRSH etc etc Asking 7000 for it (on autotrader for 7099)

Thanks guys Was worried that i'd overpriced it. Warranty, tax and mot all run until Dec 06/Jan 07 - I thought that having an extended warranty would attract buyers?! I thought that the phone would be ringing off the hook - but no such luck as yet. Will just have to be patient.....

True - how long does it take to sign up though?

No not yet, cant post it for sale on this site as I'm not a full fat member. If I can work out how to post pics on this site I'll add a couple to this thread asap

Hey guys and girls I am having a little trouble generating interest in my 172 that I'm currently trying to sell to make way for my new toy. Have advertised it on pistonheads, freeads website and in the autotrader mag and on the autotrader website but interset has been slow to say the least...

Was thinkin bout using cardiff or newport as they are closest, have yet to call them for prices though. Have used cardiff before (bought the car from them too) but not the one in the port. Has anybody had any experience with the newport dealership? [Edited by oj172 on 18 April 2005 at 7:20pm]

Thanks guys Welsh182 what dealer did u use, was it one in south wales?

Thanks for the info mate.

Sorry if this question has been asked before but Im about to book my 172 in for its 24k service. Before I ring my two local dealers I was wondering what sort of prices I should be looking for for the basic service and if any other major/minor jobs need to be done at this service. Plus some...

Saxo 1.4 Westcoast BEAST! With the really bad techno colour interior and four different coloured seat belts! Mmmmmm Classy! Now sat in the garage waiting for my cousin to pass his test

Thats wat work does for you!

Has anybody seen the advert on the back cover of EVO this month for the Seat Cupra R? Man it must be so much fun to buy one of those and then sit in it on your drive revving the nuts off it going no where!!! (look at how shiny and unused the clutch pedal is!). Either that or enthusiastic...

Similar thing happened to me week before last. Called the AA out and the bloke took about an hour to start the car. The car was turning over but not firing/catching. There was plenty of fuel in it and the fuel pump was priming. After much messing around he traced the problem to the fuel pump...

Thanks for the input guys

Seriously considering doing a track day over the summer but im not really sure exactly what is involved. Have any of you guys taken your 172 on track and how much did it cost you altogether? I really want to do it but im not in a position to replace a full set of tyres and brakes afterwards...

Anyone see this the other day? Had Tiff thrashing the arse off a MK2 V6, awesome. I want , I want!!! Absolutely stunning and sounded like an animal! Also had WRX STi and EVO VIII head to head. You should have seen how sideways they were getting them. Wish i could drive like that!

Theres no shame in defeat! As long as your not beat by a micra!!! ;) And as long as you admit defeat gracefully and not drive like a complete tw*t, like some of the escort/nova/saxo/micra/etc/etc crew do when theyre pissed off you beat them. So come guys and gals stories please.

Thats more like it guys, the clio aint invincible! :) I agree you have to have a go at anything, when i had my saxo westcoast, a real beast i might add ;) id take on anything. Got wasted by so many cars but it was worth it to see the owners using them properly!

Whats the most youve been beaten or humiliated by? Were always hearing about how our immortal clios can chew up and spit out everything else on the road so i thought nit would be cool to hear about some defeats. My worst one was trying to race a 355 owned by a guy up my road in my mums clio...

No woder your cup ate it, ive embaressed a modded 2.8 quattro in my 172, and it weighs lots more than the cup

My 172 is four months old and done about3500 miles. The last couple of days the oil warning light has been flashing on and off. Ive checked it and its a bout 1/3 into the allowed parameters. Spoke to spmeone at renault and they just said to top it up with some semi-synthetic stuff. Im not...

My mate picked up his new toy yesterday, jammy b*****d!! Just as i get a 172 to keep up with his gti-6 he goes out and ups the game again, git. I cant believe how good the scooby sounds, its got 600 quids worth of prodrive exhaust and sounds the mutts. All cars should sound this good. And...

Just had a great blast from north to south wales last night. Clear skies and clear roads coupled with the 172 made for an awesome trip. Had a play with a 206 gti on some wicked country roads, cheers mate whoever you were. And played with an old bird in a corsa sri, I had to hit !30, on the...
