Saw a beautiful Ph1 172 in Scarab Green (I think) near Leighton Buzzard this afternoon.
Looked just like this: https://live.staticflickr.com/5255/5458569703_6a92e1625e_b.jpg
Anyone on here?
Anyone spot the small 182 feature in Autocar this week? In their "39 Used Car Bargains" article in the section "Cars That Won't Depreciate Much"
But we all already knew that didn't we 😏
Thinking of moving up to a 220 Trophy, does anyone with kids have one? How much room is there in the back for car seats?
Also, what's the real world mpg like? I'm going to be using it for a 90mile round trip on the M1 every day, need something after my 230k 320d is on its way to car heaven and...
Hmmm not sure whether the heatshield is in place, I would like to think it is!
Forgive my ignorance, but can you see the starter motor/heatshield from looking down into the engine bay - it's at the back right? (I'm a complete novice when it comes to mechanical stuff 😁) I'll have a look tomorrow.
Is there any known design 'issue' with the 182 starter motor, or its location or something? Yesterday mine wouldn't start, the AA helped me bump start so does look like another starter motor has failed on me.
That's 2 that have gone now in the 3 years I've owned it - with the latest only being...
Where is your lacquer peel out of interest? I have some right on the boot - seems really obvious and looks awful to me so really wanna get it sorted, so interested to know how well yours gets repaired.
I think Goole is probably a bit too far of a trek for me though, just wary of whoever does it...
Not really any of my business as it's not my car for sale, and I'm forbidden from buying 'another Clio' 😂
But I did look at the ad and think that seems reasonable money.
From zooming in one of the pics of that you can just about make out the reg number... and it's a car which seems to have...
Anyone recommend any decent bodyshops vaguely near Beds/Bucks to get a few bits done. My 182 is LY which I've heard is hard to work on, is that true?
Got a scuff on the wing mirror, 'scratch' on the door and some laquer damage on the rear.
Possibly easy things to deal with but I'm not that way...
Has anyone got the Ktec 182 front splitter, show me a picture (not the carbon one)? Quite hard to tell how it looks on their website. Is it worth the £100+ or better to just get a Fabia one for more like £20?
Looks great! What options has this got? There's another LY one for sale near me, but visually it doesn't look as good and I'm not up to speed on the different option combos with these.
Saw a phase 1 172 in very dark blue coming down the A4146 Leighton Buzzard bypass earlier today. Didn't catch the reg though. Anyone on here?
Do love the front end of the phase 1s, wish they'd combined it with the 182 back end 💭
Mine is still going strong, even if my wallet isn't! 🤪
Maybe it's just my area, but don't seem to see that many other 1*2s around on the roads these days, let alone LY. Would love to know how many are actually left!
3 years of ownership now after purchasing from @Jack!
