So I've had ABS judder at low speed in the 182 pretty much since I've had it. Thought it'd be the usual suspect of dodgy rings - nope all OK. Rears look new too. Had a fault code of brake switch, so I put a new one in yesterday. However it still exists. Today after work I started the car and...

Need a set of rear tyres for the 182, and think I've narrowed it down to Avon ZV7's as they're easily available locally and seem the best value for money fitted. Question is, should I get them in XL or not? Wondering if I'll need the stiffer sidewall... Cheers Ross

Apart from the obvious places, is there anywhere I should look to get a lambda sensor from? Also, which fitment is correct? I assume the wire lengths are different for the pre and post catalyst, hence the different fitments. If someone who knows could clear up which one is which as online...

I've been thinking about trying to reduce the throw of the standard 182 gear lever and see it's easy enough to fit a shorter pivot arm to do so. However everywhere I read on here it's always about modified scenic shifters or PMS ones. Why are people reluctant to use a reduced length pivot arm...

Had picture issues I've decided to try posting again! So after parting with my sorely missed Focus ST, I decided I needed a fun, good value hot hatch. Enter the 182. Picked it up for going rates, its a 2004 Black Gold 182 with Cup suspension (not got the Cup spoiler pack oddly, something I'd...

What's everyone using as their kit bags? I bought a new holdall the other day that I was going to send back as it wasn't what I expected, but found a good use for it. Not bad for £10!

Hi all, Took advantage of Auto Finesse's Black Friday offer last week and treated myself to some goodies. I just need some new pads for my rotary though now to get my kit up to scratch again (cheap pads on there for doing dads van). I was looking at the Dodo Juice Fin Cut pads as they seem good...

I believe the clutch is self adjusting on these but is there anyway to give it a bit more? Bite point is very close to the top (unless they're supposed to be like this?). Anyone have a photo of the ratchet mechanism? Is it worth buying a new cable? It had a clutch about 10k ago, prior to my...

Got round to fitting the Eibach Pro Kit springs over the weekend to replace the God awful Apex springs that were on the 182 when I bought it. And what a difference! They're so much more compliant, the car doesn't crash around all over the road, the ride is improved no end as well. The car sits a...

Hi all, Ordered some Eibach Pro-Kit springs to replace the s**te Apex (I think they're Apex) springs on the 182. Is there anything else I should do whilst I'm in there? Just noticed top mounts are plenty cheap enough...

Hi all, Thought I'd treat myself to some LED main beam bulbs for the 182 this afternoon. However since putting them in the main beam warning light on the dash is permanently illuminated when the dipped beam are on. I'm assuming that this is on to ordinarily warn you about one of the bulbs being...

Hi all, Just got myself a BG 182 that I'm collecting on Saturday. Got a couple of bits done to it including KTR stuff (induction kit, exhaust and Group N remap). Also sitting on what I think is Apex -40mm springs (car sits quite low and the springs are yellow) that I'll be swapping out for...
