Hi guys, Need to sort some suspension issues which means having the car up on stands for a few weeks. Where is the best place to put some stands for this length of time? And any other tips appreciated. Thanks, Rob

Hi guys both front FK coil-overs have dropped their oil so I need new ones, or service them. Does anyone know if they're serviceable and/or you can just buy front shocks as they always only show then as a set of 4. Either that or buy some old ones from someone off the forum.

I need some new suspension and am skint. Was looking at these and wondered if anyone has them and what they think of them. Are they better than stock (182)? Will be only used on North Wales roads.

Hey guys another question from the guy with the f'd car. Car is a "conversion" from a 1.2 to a 182. OK I'm a tit and shouldn't have gone near it without a full professional inspection. That said... Why are the sports wider than the non-sports? Do they have longer drive shafts or something...

Hey guys, since I've had the car it's a dog on very cold starts (like you can't move it for about 60secs till it gets over its cough). Recently the engine check light (lower right on the 182 dials) came on, and the coughing magically stopped. Didn't go into any limp mode and felt the same to...

This bloody car has been bodged together by a cowboy. I'm such a t**t for buying it. Apart form loads of other problems I need new suspension all round. I want to keep coil-overs, ideally with some adjustment in them. Bloody expensive French cars!

Hey guys. Car's p****ng me off atm. I've been having clunking noises occasionaly comming from the front near side, on pot holes and turning into the drive etc. I didn't think too much of it (one to the list of things to check) until one day I pulled out the drive, it clunked...drove off and...

Hey guys, wondering if anyone can help. On the car ('54 Clio) is FK coilovers (non-adjustable, bar height) I think they're the High-Sport. When I've had the wheels off a few months ago I noticed both inner arch areas to have a bit of oil, along with the actual suspension units to be oily. I...

Hi guys, A few shots after todays clean and wax. I've recently ordered a new wash pad (instead of a mitt, much better IMO) along with some FK1000p and FK42QD. The car was still beading well from a few coats of Collinite 476s a month or so ago so I only gave a thin layer of the FK1000p to...

Hey guys, had my 182 for a few weeks now so I've started to push it a little more. Thing is the front wheels rub like a biatch somewhere, you don't even need to load it up in the corner that much. Seems pretty useless having a fast car if you can't find the limit of grip due to the wheel...

Hey guys, Can I disconnect the plug to this and just leave the rest safely? Or do I need to disconnect everything properly? Cheers

Hi guys, Took my wheel off to clean it and the arch and apart from it being filthy (and worryingly oily) I found something unplugged. Can anyone identify it? Nothing to do with lights that I can tell. The grey plug is part of that striped cable.

Hey guys, About to take my wheels off and give them a much needed clean and seal. Apart from the wheels I'm going to clean as much in the arch as I can. The coilovers are pretty dirty and I was wondering the best way to clean them and if anything is needed to put/spray on them after. I was...

Hi guys, I've put a few miles on the 182 since I've bought it and am enjoying it. As usual you want to fix as much as you can when you buy. On the computer the only thing not working is the range left in tank thing. It shows up but has blank lines not showing a number (_ _ _). Anything I...

Hi guys, I'm trying to work out the cause of this cold start issue I've got. First a little about the car so you know what's what. Car started out as a 1.2 but has had a good conversion to a 182. Power steering, AC, TC and all those things have been removed. The engine, manifold and ECU are...

Hi guys, I know there are a plenty of topics on this already (it feels like I've read them all) but non seem to answer my problem. On cold starts it nearly always is rough as hell, not every time but most. I've had a few high revving cars before (even had a 172) so I know it's not just the...

Hi guys, learning a lot but can't find anything on the search hence the new topic. Side window (not the door window) is leaking a little tiny bit as it's been replaced due to some accident damage (before I bought the car). It's not bad, but around the top of the window as it starts to curve...

Hi guys, had my 182 for a few days now and loving it. I used to have an early 172 a few years back so have a little experience with these. Anyway, I've been searching and reading loads but feel a new topic may be needed to help answer my question. The car came with a Pipercross open air...

Hi all. Just to say hello to everyone and introduce myself. I'm Rob and at 30 some would consider old, at least my insurance doesn't kill me narr narr. Picking up my 182 on Sat so hopefully there are some local members who enjoy drives around North Wales. Pics when I get it. Thanks,
