Sorry guys bit of a dumb question, I have a works Kangoo van (2010) there is a warning light on which is an oil drop and what looks like a tray underneath it, the oil is topped up and it's not due a service for 2000miles, looked all over the service book and it says this light will come on with...

Not like you to change your car Nick :) always had a soft spot for the Swift Sport, will have to catch up sometime.

The Mazda Rx8 has the 40's as standard and most people find them pretty crap and say the 50's are a huge improvement, however alot of people are turning to Vredestien Ultrac Sessantas.

Great pics as usual Nick...oh and I like the splitter and the spoiler :) :D

The Mini looked a bit crap (to look at) in comparisson to the clio...the Cup looked great...be nice to see the proper Works (211bhp as opposed to the bolt on bits from the dealer 192bhp version). Goes off to search the net for 197's for sale :)

...hehe ..worked for me ive got half of Nicks old Cooper S on my car :) Be nice to see it on a run soon Nick....btw does it go faster than yellow ones? :D

Thats such a poor excuse for him to take it off to sell it to you cheap :D

Dont think there would be a huge amount in it...all depends on the driver

SLR sounds fantastic!

Cool pics Anni....or should I say Nick :D ...probably the last pics of your 172 ey Nick :)

Looking good Nick...hows would you compare it to the 172 and Cooper S? :D

Adrian Flux

looking good

Looking good Nick...so its an all French garage now is it? :D ... come on full review plz :D

you and your bloody 172....ive been looking at v6's 3 days on the trot now lol, am sure these guys will advise you of the best induction kit on here though.

Think it needs an Alta mate :D

Been on here a year or so now mate, looks like you got yourself a good low miler with the 172.

Welcome Nick :)

6.9secs (Silverstone) 142mph (Autobahn)

All looks a bit dodgy to me car is advertised as a Cooper and the pic is of a Cooper S...they never made the Cooper in that colour its exclusive to the S...if they'd just missed the S out of the advert even a cat D Cooper S turbo would go for more than that...unless its worst than a cat D

Some great times chaps :) Was the above one of the Many One's and Coopers with S bumpers and exhaust...thats a terrible time :D..or was it a classic?, before mine was modded times I was getting at Silverstone MITP were 7.24 and 6.99 with standard unleaded, runflat tyres a boot full and my ex...

make that 212bhp for the new S works when its launched..240 was a bit optomistic :D....although its only 2bhp more than the outgoing supercharged works im sure it will be a fair bit quicker as the new standard turbo S is almost as quick as the old works. :)

Yep the Mini's have there fair share of niggles too...theres also a 230-240 S works on the way...am sure Renault will pull something else out of the bag in the not so distant future too :) Anyway..best not hijack the thread :D ....but I would defo say the tuned 172 would be quicker than the...

Hey not trying to have a go mate, just thought that "aint quick" was a bit harsh, differnt opnions/expieriances I guess. The 172/182 is a lil bit quicker than the 163/170 Cooper S, any run ins Ive ever had its always been pretty evenly matched. Was the S you tested the 197 against one of the...

PMSL!

Each to there own on the supercharger whine, I actually prefer it to the same old 4 cyl N/A induction roar (not that there is anything wrong with N/A) Id certainly say that 172, 182, 197 also "aint quick" if the Cooper S (supercharged or Turbo) "aint quick" when performance wise they are all...

Turbo (R56) has certainly been given some mixed reactions :D Love the supercharger whine (enhanced even more with an Alta CAI)...think its a bit like marmite...love it or hate it. Mates S with Alta and Magnaflow exhaust (excuse someones dodgy laugh :D )...

Simular when there both standard but obviously yours would win with the mods, although £495 spent at Lohen and she would have 210horses. Is your misses getting a supercharged S or a new Turbo S?

Got a quote for my Cooper S with these with mods and then got one with the GTT220 kit only £400 (and a bit) fully comp ok Im 30 but Directline want almost 700

looking good :)
