Took the calliper off and managed to compress the piston although it was extremely stiff and took some doing but all of a sudden it seemed to free up, heat build up seems to be greatly reduced now so hoping its helped. Dust boots seem in pretty good condition although it has worked loose in one...

I seem to be having this problem at the moment with my front passenger side, noticed the piston was very stiff while fitting new pads and disks recently but applied some grease and hoped it would be okay but following a longish drive today the wheel in question is clearly getting considerably...

Well tyres have been fitted but in the process the new paints been damaged, balls! Cheers osspoop for the coil over tip, I'll drop him a message!

Cheers. Agreed k_tec coilovers next me thinks.

Cheers osspoop. Feels good to have gotten rid of the wheels.

Cheers jack, I'm quite pleased with them except the tyres are all in pretty bad condition but having a full set of kumho ecsta le sports put on tomorrow!

Have been refurbishing the 182 wheels over the last three days on my breaks As you can see they were in pretty bad condition But now look like this, pretty happy with the results! Having four new tyres fitted tomorrow! Nice!

Oh that's cool, I had a 1.5 DCI before the 182 it was a great little car

Pretty ingenious. What set up do you have on your 182?

Very interesting, thanks for the link. Reading alot of conflicting opinions, would like to give the air box ago perhaps just for a comparison but wheels need sorting first! Does anyone know where some kind of heat proofing could be aquired, I've messaged ramair and they said they don't make any...

I was toying with the idea of boxing off the filter to decrease the chances of hot air being drawn in further but having read alot on here about them the general opinion seems to be the best option performance wise is the air box with a higher spec filter fitted, plus I've not found a box to...

Yes it was indeed and yeah it's a 2006 one of the last models. Totally agree, I'd already requested the original wheels to be refited before I made the purchase but on seeing the car in person decided they actually looked pretty good (certainly better than in the photographs) but bought the...

Okay think I've worked out the image issue so will repost some below. The wheels I'm going to replace with the originals or perhaps some speed lines? The induction set up after repositioning the filter

Thanks Ron. Forgot to mention above but thanks to George@RTR_Parts for the front disks, pads and fitting advice. Great service, price and quality, cheers mate.
