Hmm, that's an interesting theory and something I had also considered, but knew nothing about ... how would that explain both boxes going in similar ways though, hmm ...

Afraid so mate ... I got a replacement box back in September I think it was, but it lasted about 100 miles :( I could understand if I was some chav wheel spinning out of corners. Think I'm going to getting your old one refurb'd you'll be pleased to know :) Might have to put it up for sale...

Has anyone got a number for him? I've sent a few emails but heard he's not the best at responding ;)

Ello, I'm trying to find someone to recondition the gearbox from my Williams 2, I'm based in the Midlands area and wondered if anyone had any experience or recommendations. I've done a search but couldn't find much. I've tried to contact Fred but haven't had any luck so far. Cheers

Cheers :) As for the headlight covers ... errr I'm not sure ... Daz? ;)

:D Thanks mate ... I think! ;) I owe a lot to the previous owner for looking after it well, shame I've not got a garage to tuck it up inside during the winter.

Thanks for the comments guys, it really does clean up nicely for a 15 year old motor! :) I plan on keeping this one for a while!

A few pics of my Willy after a quick spruce up today, I don't use her much as she's just a weekend fun car, I've only done 500 miles or so this year. But after a quick drive today I'm going to attempt to use it more often, it's so much bloody fun :D Shame the sun had gone in, and I only had...

Hi Joe, It's Paul here. Looking good :D I polished it myself also with Super Resin, mmm shiny! Hope you're enjoying the car :)

Yip ... followed you along the M69 for a bit before turning off, it was lashing it down with rain!

Mines 15/03/2001 :)

Spied a black 172 on the M69 earlier heading from Leicester, CS sticker. P888TY or something similar?

davebem: Yeah I've got a few piccys. As your a local lad I'd be interested in seeing what yours is like as I've never been in one with the standard setup, and vica-versa i guess. Can meet up to compare sometime if you fancy it? ballbag04: Cheers for your interest but as davebem...

Ooops, sorry mate ... forgot about your post. Where are you based?

Cheers, think i'll try my best to find some from a phase1 then to be safe.

Hi mate, it has Sportline springs and Pro dampers.

Cheers Rich & Day ... just need to find someone to swap now. Also, as I've never driven my phase1 without the Eibach set up on, how exactly is it going to differ? Obviously the handling is pretty good right now, it's not going to turn into a bag of jelly is it?

Hi, I've currently got a phase1 172 which has been fitted with both Eibach springs and shocks by the previous owner. I'd like to convert the car back to standard so am thinking about finding somebody that would be up for a swap. Does anyone know if the phase2 shocks/springs are the same as...

Hehe, nothing, just makes you easier to spot! Yeah I'm supposed to start at 9 but was late, had just picked up the car from the garage. I leave work here in 2 weeks, am moving to somewhere in Glenfield, you ever over that way?

Hello :) Wasn't sure it was you at first, had to catch you up from 10 or so cars back, then the stickers gave it away! I was running late for work, good to see ya!

Not me this time mate. I used to go to work that way but take the 69 these days.

Sorry chap, didn't spot you this time else i'd of waved!

March 2001 - 63000. Engine feels strong ... interior rattles less so!

Ay up that was meeee! Think I passed you turning right into Brookside, will give you a wave next time :)

I usually get quite bored and like to change cars every 12-18 months or so, expensive as it is. I'm quite attached to this one though so am not in a desperate hurry to pass it on.

Cheers guys ... It's just clicked over 62k.

Well I don't post on here a great deal but I picked up my 172 in March last year so decided to give it a bit of a clean as I've had some time off work. Got some Autoglym bits and bobs for christmas too that needed trying out. It's lowered slightly, Eibach springs...

Eye spied a racing blue 182 on the M69 this morning, stripes as well, think it was an 05 with a ClioSport sticker in the back. Followed you for a bit heading in to Leicester ;)

Thats the one I always see around Hinckley/Leicester, female blonde driver.
