I have sent you a message, thanks

Not a problem, thanks again

Thank you Mr Underhill I’ll contact him. I don’t suppose you have a telephone number for him by any chance?

Does anybody know of a Clio breakers or a company that often breaks 172’s or 182’s as I’m looking for a few things that I can’t find on eBay such as a set of wheels. Any help would be appreciate, thanks

As above please, I have used a jet wash to clean under the rear arches as best I can but I find there is a bit of a lip around the arch which is quite difficult to reach. Any methods or tools that I should be using? Thanks

White16valver- how easy is it to remove the rear interior panels to check the bodywork? I'd quite like to see what the condition of my car is like..

It seems like Raceglaze is the way to go. Thanks Chrisgti6 I’ll have a look at the reviews for that too. hamisey- I have read about that method of removing bobbles. I may give it a try!

I’m looking to freshen up my door cards and give the seats a good clean. Can anybody recommmed a good Alcantara cleaner that will bring them back to looking new again? Thanks

deanoE30M3- how long have you had it? neil a- again how long have you had your wheel? Do you clean it regularly?

Sorry I've only just seen the posts from James and deanoE30M3 after I posted my reply and the page updated! Both wheels look great, I like the clean look of the 172 wheel it's really smart. deanoE30M3- I like your wheel, again is it wearing well?

I have heard good things about Snappy it's just I prefer the thumb grips being integrated which has made me decide to go with Royal. neil a- the Audi wheel looks awesome! How is the alcantara wearing? Do you have to clean it regularly?

My standard steering wheel is in need of a retrim and I am looking to use Royal Steering wheels. I am considering an all alcantara wheel because I think they look great but I'm concerned about the practicalities with my car being a daily driver. My question is does anybody have an alcantara...

How much firmer are the Sportlines than OEM? Are they crashy at all on bad roads?

I’m considering changing the springs on my FF182 to one of the above options. I’d ideally like a slight drop with a slightly firmer ride but nothing that will be too harsh around town or on rough B roads. I’ll be replacing the front shocks at the same time to compliment the new setup. Initially...

Spot on, cheers!

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into the products you mentioned. Would they be suitable for the wipers too?

Excuse me if this has been covered before but I'm looking for a good product to use on the black exterior plastics of the car to return them to as new a condition as possible. This would include the main part of the wipers. Is the old faithful Back to Black worth using? Thanks guys

Dex90- thanks for the reply. Mavez- my thoughts exactly!! JamesBryan- my cambelt was done at the same time as the Aux belt along with the water pump a couple of years ago so I'll get it change when it is next due with the cambelt at the same time. Cup172Rich- it's a FF182. Cheers all for the...

My AUX belt will need changing in the not too distant future and I'm wandering if this is a job for a specialist or would any capable mechanic be able to do the job? I called my local dealer and they quoted £388 for supplying the part and fitting! Needless to ask I thought I'd ask on here...

Was this problem ever diagnosed??

Well that’s disappointing because I have just replaced my front springs with a standard set. Hopefully they last, fingers crossed! That’s good to hear and maybe a consideration for the future.

Why do you think they break so easily? I would like to have thought that they are good quality being OEM. Your car does have a nice stance actually, so they are only a tad firmer than standard then? Are the crashy at all?

Thanks for the replies guys. How much do the Eibqch Prolines lower the car by and does it make the suspension a lot harsher? 182halfpenny- I have the springs now but thanks for the offer. It may be worth fitting the new spring because it's always good to keep things the same across the axle.

Can anybody help please, I have searched (maybe not well enough!) to find the part number for the front springs of a 182 FF. Does anybody know that can help? Thanks

I'm in need of a new exhaust for my 182 and would like one to sound as close to standard as possible and have had no luck finding an aftermarket system that isn't loud so I was looking to go the custom route. Can anybody recommend a decent fabricator in the south east that would be able to make...

I'm dragging up a very old thread here I know but my car has just shown a little bit of damp in the boot that I have (hopefully!) attributed to these grommets. What is the best method to remove them without causing any damage to them? Thanks

Oh ok, the box is still standard and very smooth with no crunches. I'll probably end up going for the Redline if it offers better protection. Can I ask how it offers better protection?

Thanks that gives me a bit more peace of mind. If I were to use the Redline oil in the box in a car for road use would that benefit it in any way or would it help extend the life of it at all? Could the difference be felt in the quality of the shift?

Thanks for the replies. My car is only used on the road so am swaying towards the Elf oil. Out of interest if I ever did decide to do a track day would the Elf oil be okay for that too?

Thanks for the reply oreA. Do you know why he recommends it? Hopefully he'll be along in a minute to tell me more!
