182 Cup from new Dec 2004 64K. I'll prob die before it as I'm knocking 62 this year 😟

I'm 54 had my 182 cup for 10 years and still gives me a buzz the other half loves it in fact she goads me to drive it like a loon!!

dash cam? wot for? sorry but missing something here are you in law enforcement or something in that field?

Did mine a few weeks ago, as said its fiddly you dont need to take the bumper off despite what everybody says, you can easily access the removal of the alternator just by removing the grill

maybe pikey took me all of 10 mins:)

Just done this myself 4 weeks ago and no need to remove the bumper plenty of room with only removing the black grill, removing the bumper wont improve the access and saves a lot of time also use jubilee clip much easier, I bought a snap on serpentine rachet tool no use at all

If the rear brakes are much the same as the 182, i recently had the same prob. in the end i removed the caliper from the car and unscrewed the piston anticlock wise to get it as far out as possible and then rescrewed it clockwise and it went all the way back in. hope this helps

Thats ok then have got similar sykes pikavant thanks

Sorry if this sounds daft, but i'm doing a rear caliper overhaul on my 182 is it ok to use a hose clamp on the rubber flex hose close to the caliper or some other place?

Used the car today after 3 wks and bleeped 3 times when opened. When locked the alarm went off and the LED light flashes 3 times which I think is the volumetric sensor being activated. Tried this four times and always the same also the central locking light stays on all the time, now thinking...

Doesn't Bluecol do an universal antifreeze for topping up, says compatable with all types??

Took the GF car for mot today (1.6 RT 1999) and tester pointed out that the hazard switch works with ignition on but does't work with it switched off? Any Ideas?

Its the KTR sports cat. Not sure if its 100 or 200 cell?

I'm going to fit a KTR Janspeed and 200 cell cat to my 182 and wanted to know if the standard ECU will give the correct fuelling? Thanks Paul

Have recently fitted a set within the last two months so not got much miles on them. The most noticeable thing is they dont half give a harsher ride than the PE2 suppose cos they're track orientated. really good in the wet also
