hope they sort it.

i always remember the day that my bro's ECU fell out of his 172. it just snapped off while driving.

and they charged him £700 for his 2nd service because of a faulty driveshaft gator and new brakes.

the car was under warranty too.

I was looking at a 53 plate Clio Sport for someone last week.. It was low mileage but it was totally fucked.. The front struts were knocking, the bottom arms were shot, the climate control didnt work ATALL, no fan. It had all sorts of minor electrical problems. What a piece of shit.

I found the pedals were actually better than my Corsa's. I've had a Saxo and an XSi, and with my size 13's I managed very easily to drive about without any hassle. Better for heel toe too

Mind when my mate with size 14 feet bought a 106 XSi

Needless to say he put it through a roundabout and fence into a farmers field narrowly missing a lamp post within a few months!!
