was you on the M11 filter lane to the A406 this morning?? saw a silver mk1 sorry

get a second independant opinion!!

JC realy rates Hot Hatches, He did the Paxo VTS when that came out. Im sure he will enjoy thrashing the nuts out of it. That show gets on my wick they show cars which will always be out of my price range. I see cars all day long that I could offord ie 10-20k and would love more reviews on them...

24k still ok (motorway miles mainly) they recon they will be ok till the next service!! Evo mag said there cup lasted up to 36k with hard driving

Id take it somewhere for a second opinion TBH. sounds a bit sus

8-9 front, backs ok and done 24k now

yes

Reno london quoted £380 for my 24k service!!! na I said why is it so much more expensive than say a 1.4. He stuttered and said there are more things to check:cry:

Hi , Im wanting to lower my outgoings every month and haave thought about settling up then getting a mk1 172 as they are fairly cheap now ie 7-8k now. question is has anybody done this? will there be realy noticable differences apart from a smaller steering wheel etc!!! cheers

why ?? its the same car

172 all day-- cup.. stingy inside --how much does leather way compared to cloth!!

I wait for all the lights to go out then give it a go. seems fine after that.

cheers matey--hopefully be the same probelm then.. Im off doing some major driving next week

sorry from the suspenstion. however I notised it on my dads Laguna as well?

When turning on very bumpy ground there is a slight knocking sound. Its in for the 24k service soon so it will get mensioned! anybody else had this? My

Iv borrowed a mates Road Angel for my weeks driving from Essex to the lake Districts and beyond.. However It dont work!! It was working in his car(new Vectra) Is this somthing to do with the heated screen?? If so is there anypart of the screen that it will work? I dont know the model of it...

Spending a load of money and then the thing going wrong would leave a bad tast in your mouth. He could probably see the thing was going to be a problem car so got rid. My 172 had small niggles even on the first drive home which mad me want to take it back, I even prayed somone would steel it...

People who Know mechanics or own powerfull / sporty performance cars will know its not a fault but a sign that its got performance in mind. only grannys and kids that hang outside sweet shops will say your cars sonds rubbish. its normal . my vts never did it

Kinda know what your saying about it coming in a bit late!! I thought they improved the time the maximum torque comes in. Basically its classic behavior for the 2.0l 16v engine as the old goft Gti were the same. my mates 8v had more low end but the other mates 16v had more latter go. anyone...

Call Reno and ask for a172 brocher! there bound to have some left.

I wondered the same thing and have decided not to. I just wish Id got a silver or blue. my girl say exactly the same thing about 1.2s oh that girls got the same car. I laff and say sort of

Its rubbish. I live in a expensive part of Essex where everybody drive nice cars and my mate F*cked his wheel on his new TT in the first week! needing a replacment at aroung £500 which he is claiming back. Its bad as we drive cars desighned with better road condiotions in mind. now I know why...

MR2 GT-i are only 8.1 to 60 so will be the slowest of the lot. I had one for 8 months along with my Saxo vts which was much more fun to drive!! I drove the vts after negleting it for 3 months and got ride of the MR2 due to its lack of pace. girls love em and think your loaded for some reason...

Id reject the car and say this ain on!! or threten trading standards and demand a new car.

Iv herd they go better than the mk11 172. anyone know why . I saw one once at the superbkes championchips at brands hatch. I was looking for ages and now with my black mk2 172 I wish Id waited and got one.

Paid £10600 for a 8 month old with 1700 miles. so not to bad. but I concidered it a bargain at the time cos reno wanted 12500 for an 02 with 18000k!! no ta and they wanted 13k for it!!

Thanks everbody for your input. I kinda new this would start somthing off but luckily my cuz had one in and let me have a blast. It was nice (if a little stingy) but like most of you said it not worth it realy and with the right fram of mind the cup is ok if your constanly ring the neck out of...
