Tell him to come buy mine, only down the road...

See what figures I get tomorrow when I take the wench to pick up her new motor :)

To be fair, mine doesn't get more than 29...30 at a huge push sitting at 60 on the a1, sitting at 70 and it goes to 26-28mpg when on a run. It's been a little better since fitting a cat but I'm convinced the decat has shafted the post-cat lambda even though there's no light on.

I have been using Road Trip LE and over the past 2 weeks the calculations for my driving come back at 28.08mpg which is mainly 6 mile trip to work and then back again, same distance to the mrs house and back again and a few 1.5 mile trips to and from work when I stay at hers. The fuel gauge...

I'm the 14th owner of my 02 172 (it was a cheap one) and apart from a jazzed driveshaft and rarely dephaser it's lovely. Think it needs a lambda as well. I've never looked how many previous owners a cars had, it's the drive of the car that tells the story.

It's not a dub and never will be.

Oh dear.

He can buy my black 172 if he wants lol

Shame it was a nice car :( the stealth exhaust on it isn't year old yet either

That's the thing I'm not sure if that was his exact plate or not just jumped out at me when I saw it bud.

Was this car bought from Lincoln by any chance? Looks like my mate Chris's old one that he sold a couple of weeks ago with that plate. Not nice to see, at least it's only the car that got damaged!

Woke up this morning to the sound of the postman delivering 2 packages to me, 1 was the 4 Silvatec bulbs the other was my new rear wiper arm :) Finally got out of bed at 11 after not getting in from my second job until 4am this morning (the things we do for a little extra money!), removed rear...

Just a quick question, the 3 bearings on the tripod are untrue so car feels awful when you plant it, like it's got a square wheel. Just wondering if anyone knows whether the bearings themselves can be renewed or if it's time for a whole new shaft? It's starting to really do my head in now so...

Picked up a cat from Rob-Gee on Tuesday night, had that fitted yesterday and upon inspection the rest of the exhaust systems isn't as bad as first thought so a new exhaust is well down the list now...which saves me a few quid in the short term! 3/4 plate turned up yesterday, excellent service...

I've had a lot of 'quick' cars but the lesser powered Clio 1*2 has beaten them all in fun/satisfaction, cost wise.
