I might be up for it have to see, might be away with work. Rev drop me text closer to the time because my brain is a sift and I will forget no doubt

I get on the trip about 26.6mpg. But I always look at how much I put in for miles covered, light-light. 330miles to a tank. My 172 used to be about 300 to a tank but the 197 has a gallon more fuel. I would say both are about the same for me but I hoooned the 172 every where and tyres are...

the V6 or Trophy are the only 2 with a chance. the V6 has the best chance mainly because most people buy them just to say they had or have one.

its is a 172 in every michanical part. The whole drive train, brakes, susspenssion is 172. thats the point. now reduced to £2000

The "check emissions" light came on in my 197 the day after having my cam belts done, could this be related. What other things might cause the light to come on? (Engine management light- "Check Emissions") The car seems to run fine, no miss-firing or juddering. There was a strange quite loud...

4 years as a 1.4 and 15 months as a 2ltr - just waiting to get the plates changed over to my 197 which ive had for 15 days. Then me old purple clio will be up for sale or turnd into a track car :race:

Mine is fine at below 50mph as said. Anything above that though for any extended amount of time will do your head in. does sound fantastic on full chat though :) Got a 197 aswell now an it very nice to drive without the noise ALL THE TIME.
