172 ph1
after looking for few weeks i found a blue ph1 on autotrader with 30k on so....quick trip down out of the wild north 2day and traded the a3 in for it.....thanks for advice in my last thread dudes....checked it over and over and im over the moon...2 previous lady owners from new loads of history and full service body work 99.9% spot on wheels mint spare(5th alloy and brnd new michy pilot) immaculate interior and engine bay..rea discs and pads need doing but thats it!
checked all docs and found it went in 4k ago being 2009 with a miss fire...found to be cambelt had jumped a tooth therefore nacking an exhaust valve so 8 new inlet and exhaust valves in skimmed the head new cam belt kit gaskets all the usual...1100 quids worth of work done...put me off at first but bbeen done at garage where 90% of work has been done and drove it back after standing for 2 month it was a little swueaky (rusty discs etc) but after about 30-40 mile what a car 100 times better than the last 64k one i had! private plate on but car is o a y originally...cant seem to fault it so far hopefully its time to settle down after my 4th car this year haha
gona try and keep this one nice and standard with few little subtle mods like clear indicator bulbs, side repeaters, calipers silver etc etc
will try and get pics up...could this be the lowest mile ph1 in the uk or am i just been slightly optimistic???
cheers, Dan
