it's on a 16v megane but i thought its worth a try
a guy round the corner seen me workin on my car and asked if i knew about anythin like that.
happens when the car is stationary, press the brake and it revs its self
would there be any real benefit in changin my 31k 53plate 172 for a higher milage FF182? if i could find for £100-£200 difference in price.
172 is fine, no problems with it but as it has low milage would it be worth cashing in on it befor the miles go up. Also, the price i paid for mine i'am...
yake it this is the little bugger
just took it out so what are my options?
can i fix it? heard you can with the non A/C as its only a resistor
A/C models seem to be more complicated
was thinkin about this the other day,
would there be a market for them like there is for the RS megane diesel? and to a lesser degree the c2 vts diesel, or is a petrol one economical enough as am gettin about 36mpg atm.
RS clio with bags of torque would be interesting thing.
just been in to see what they have as they've got some sort of open weekend goin on.
unfortunatly there had nothin but an RS megane DCi which was nice but 12.5k, however i asked as they were offering valuations so took the chance to see what they would give me for the 172.
53plate 31k iceberg...

a mate of mine bought a 172 from his work(scrappy) and he was thinkin about fixin it to sell on.

earlier today the 172 went into safe mode, the engine electrics light came on ( looks like a heart beat monitor) and wouldn't go past 3k revs or 30mph. stopped at lights and it was revving erratically between 2k and 3k.

had a quick search but not found too much.
has there ever been a connection between the ABS light coming on and driveshafts bein naff?
