Doing a service, managed to get it off last year and I did it hand tight but for some reason it isnt budging. What way is it to undo? Not sure if its normal threaded or left hand thread.
Thanks
Hello! I bought a 2nd hand Miltek Back box for my 182 as a replacement for the standard exhaust back box that is currently on there (I prefer the miltek slash cut) I have never done anything with an exhaust before so I was just asking on here for some tips on how to replace it myself? Few...
Hmm if I get a pair of front springs say apex/sportlines/cooks etc will the back look weird as they are standard springs? if its around £100 for all corners I might just get them all done
So... got the 182 back from the garage and it failed its MOT on the offside front spring which has snapped :( I need to get one within 7 days so they can re-do the MOT again.
Where can I get one from? I tried eBay but so many on there I don't want to get the wrong one :S Can anyone help me find...
Does anyone know the correct size for spark plug changes on a 182? I have done a few searches but in every thread there is at least 2 or 3 different sizes mentioned!
Thanks!
Yeah, when I first drove the 182 I was like "woah!". Got used to the power now though but still love it, although I do miss my zs :(
Cheers mate! I like keeping the standard theme. Trophy's are so nice! I need one of those spoilers!
Good review. Thinking of doing this now. Can you get someone to do this map? I was thinking of doing it myself but I'm scared of bricking the ECU :/
btw if i get the ron98 map will it be ok if i occasionaly put in normal unleaded in? The nearest stations with super unleaded is a fair few miles...
Done a few bits today!
I changed the gearbox oil, very easy job and the stuff that came out was pure jet black. I don't think it has ever been done! I put 3 litres back in and took it for a drive and the gear changes feel a lot slicker now.
I also fitted the fix for the creaking on full lock...
Hey guys, couldn't make this one unfortunately. I was out in the city for a few drinks and I did see some 1*2's zooming past. Where about's are those pictures taken? Never seen this place in Norwich. Must be quite tucked away.
Hi!
I need 2 new rear tyres so I am going to get some fitted at the weekend. The garage said they can do a wheel alignment service for £25 for all 4 and I was planning to do this. I'm not sure how the tracking works but I was going to swap the rear 2 wheels with the front 2 as the front tyres...
I'm from Norwich. Well...a little south near Dunston Hall. I see loads of 1*2's about around Norwich and I always give them a wave haha but they never wave back! Hope it's not any of you lot :P
I'd be up for a meet sometime! I've had the the 182 nearly a year and have not been to a meet yet!
Another update!
Today I de-tarred the other side of the car and now the car is nearly tar free! Today I decided to spray my front grill satin black as it was gradually turning to a horrible old faded grey.
I gave it 2 coats of white plastic primer then 2 coats of satin black. The grill was a...
Had a bit of free time today so I decided to give the clio a quick wash and de-tar! I got some autoglym intense tar remover a few weeks back and I am in the process of getting rid of all the tar spots along side the skirts and bottom of the car. For some reason, tar is just attracted to the...
Thanks guys !! :)
Yes, I wasn't sure either when I first got the turinis but they have grown on me. Now though, I hate them and want them chrome like the originals. I don't really want to buy 4 new centre caps so I might sand them down/primer them and spray them in chrome paint?
