Should try commuting in a Caterham for a bit, you'll appreciate the clio then!!

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply mate

I have a 182 cup, with cruise control and a melting standard steering wheel, got the chance of a mint 172 wheel but without the cruise buttons, does anyone know if i can fit the buttons from my steering wheel and use the 182 air bag?

I had to reset my steering wheel angle sensor recently also, even with clearing the code it still took a bit of a drive before the lights went out....

You can also turn the light off with certain diagnostics equipment, we use a Launch (which a lot of small garages will have as ECP was doing a big push selling them early this year) it allowed me to essentially disable the steering wheel airbag, same as clip.

Sounds like a wheel bearing, but also could be an out of shape tyre, see a lot of budget tyres going out of shape and creating a humming noise

Guys this turned out to be a faulty dephaser pulley, got another new renault one from a different dealer, rebuilt it and it goes perfect, previously it wasn't just hitting the cold limiter, from just under 6k rpm it literally had no power....

any ideas on what figures i should expect to see on a 100% f4r as far as map pressure, fuel trims etc? just incase anything jumps straight out at me, as a side note, in neutral it will rev to limiter with ease, just when its under load yeah its fully up to temp, tried it again this evening and...

My 182 has a seemingly strange fault... It drives fine, idles fine etc no stalling when pulling up, starts perfect, however when your going through the rev range, it pulls fine low revs you can feel the timing change at circa 5k and it starts to pull even stronger, then just after 6k it seems...

had a few hours on the car over the weekend and last night, got the wheels back from refurb: haven't got a pic of them on the car yet, forgot didn't i haha, centre caps should come back tomorrow... front bumper back on, still need to machine the rest of the car but colour match is good...

Didn't do a great deal today, got the lip fitted properly though, finishes off the front bumper massively... i got these of eBay, bit pissed off as they are unequal as you can probably see haha and finally got the carpet out, dried the lake out the footwell, found a few more quid in...

Get stuck in dude!!

i know haha, its my own fault really, i forgot to say they needed masking off and it was done as a bit of a favour so can't do much about it, hopefully ill be able to talk it down to cat D and light water damage lol

get some pictures up lets see this haha!! little pic of the interior of mine now the seats are out... found £2, car was a bargain now!! the seats them selves... Got the rear brakes finished today, look better for a little spruce up i think. Then some parts turned up, any guesses? And...

ahhh probably true, but then what cars aren't? in all honesty its nothing extra from what i originally planned haha, wheels are in dire need of a refurb, think the previous owner used kerbs to guide him!! and it should still be worth more than it will stand me at, not that that was the point of...
