Sounds like a plan... if I don't sell the 172 20vt first. I'd probably come anyway, I do love any excuse for a meet.

What you after mate?
My mates got a Megane 225 in back and I think he'd literally fall in love with a 172 20vt.

Not after anything tbh.. It's quite a well known car. It was AndyRGs old car so you can be sure it was built to a high standard.. Ive not even listed it for sale and already there is 2 people selling their cars to try and buy it.. Someone came from South Wales to view/test drive yesterday and they're getting quotes fit insurance. . Can't see it being around long tbh. .

Finally got round to making my boost leak tester today.
made it out of a sink waste trap in the end as it fitted perfectly together.
Have also found a big leak in the PCV system so am going to have to look into how to remove the whole lot I think as it looks a right pain to repair/replace

Just tried this on my 180 through the pipe that goes to my throttle body, had to block up the intake sipe end too but for some reason the air goes down nearly as fast as its put in? what am i doing wrong here?
