hello everbody long time since last on here .but as a past owner of a problem child total 126 factory installed defects,i would still go out and buy a new one,hows that for a shock,,,,,,.i spoke to the new owner of my little black car now with 134000 km on it and he says its still fine they put a new gearbox in it to sell it .its funny what a little nos can do to the cogs,he has lowered it 50 mm and put 17s on it .but i see it smokes a bit when he hammers it .but he is only 18 so lets see how long it lasts.

vroy glad to see you got a 172 at last i have still got the nos kit if your intrested and traction control unit.







Welcome back toolmantim.

Im a little strapped for cash right now but Id be very interested in the traction control kit (is it a RaceLogic?) and just slightly interested in the Nos kit. How much would you be asking?

Thanks

No mate thats not life - I aint paying £11750 of my hard earned money for a car with problems from the start - any car. The dealer has called me and thinks it is the steering rack - my boyfriend is a motorcycle mechanic and even he knows more that these monkeys. I want what i have paid for - the dealer Ive told to stop work on the car until a properly trained engineer arrives who hopefully knows what he is talking about! I have a problem with their guess work and after all they only get paid a standard rate for warranty work so its bodge it and get it back out. Its not customer chargeable work - I know what it is all about having worked for two different car manufacturers. Sorry guys dont mean to moan and I can understand a toothing problem but this takes the p***! I still want the car just not one thats had the whole suspension etc replaced. Its only fair.......so enough of that im bored now - what else is new?

Didnt mean it like that, I know some people have had more serious problems which sounds like you! But to be honest is sounds like your dealer has made the problem 100 times worse!!
