Hi,
I've got a slightly seized/stuck front caliper so need to get the sliding bolt out clean it, lube it up and get it back in there.
The only issue I'm having is the 13mm bolt on the back of the caliper is stuck. I've put a fair bit of force in trying to move it, and have given up as I dont...
Hi Guys,
I'm wondering if there are any 16 inch steel wheels that fit directly on to a 182 and if so what are they from?
Wanting to do a wheel refurb so just after one wheel if anyone has a spare knocking around for sale.
Cheers, Mike.
Ok so I need a new exhaust mine is blowing like hell.
Looks as though I'll have to buy new, I'm looking at two really, the scorpion SRN019 (from here: http://tinyurl.com/lzmsh7j ) or the Janspeed centre silenced from Ktec (here http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1264&appid=2 )...
Hi guys just wondering if anyone could help.
I have a 182 and the previous owner has put 205/45/16's on, I'm due some new tyres and noticed that 195/45/16 are the standard size, and cheaper I have a few questions.
If i were to buy two 195 width and stick them on the back and the 205 on the...
So last night I took my rear wheels off to paint my brake callipers, noticed the there was no spring clips over the pads, is that normal on a 182?
Sure it isn't but just thought I'd check.
Are they safe or is it just a matter of luck that my pads haven't fallen out on the motorway at 70 MPH...
So my xbox kept over heating (2 red lights), even stood up, next to an open window!
I read that changing the thermal paste for some newer cleaner stuff will help, so off I went to do it, all went fine, but everything back together again and then got 3 red lights.. RROD, anything I can do? What...
Two questions about foglights;
Firstly are Ph2 Sport and non sport ones the same? and secondly how do they fit in to the surronds on a sport? Looked at a few photos on ebay and doesn't seem all that clear? No bolt holes or anything.
Thanks.
The engine management light has come on, on my 182, only had it since Saturday, and have RAC warranty so if its anything major ill be covered hopefully.
Anyone have any ideas what it maybe? The car drives absolutely fine, no misfire at all, the light came on after getting tyres changed on the...
Any body used these guys? They seem to have a fair few clios for sale at the moment, thinking of going up and having a look but could do with a heads up as to whether they are any good if any body knows owt before I make the 200 mile round trip!
Cheers!
Hi, just wondering if anyone is from Northampton and would be willing to look over a car for me at a garage, for a few beer tokens?
(Wasn't really sure which region to put this post in, seems Northampton is pretty much bang central!
Came on all of sudden whilst out for a drive and got gradually worse.
Would I be right in thinking drive shaft? Symptoms are vibrating through the wheel and loud knocking noise, gets worse when not on the accelerator and not there at all when turning left.
How much am i looking at to buy the...
Is there anyway to do the above? Through an app or other methods, like remote but obviously with different devices.
So for example could put the iPhone in the dock the other side of the room then through wifi select and skip songs.
Cheers.
Hi, I've had damp in the interior twice, im not talking a little bit, I mean puddles.
I've cleaned the scuttle drains and this has fixed it both times, but surely they can't have filled up this time as the car is off the road (Parked on drive) so doubt muck has built up inside. The roof liner...
Trying to change my rear pads, got the carrier off without too much of an issue, got the old pads out and new ones in just fine.
But now I cant get the carrier to line up with the bolt holes at all to fix it back in, no matter how much i wind or unwind the piston.
What glaringly obvious...
Hi, I'm in desperate need of a backbox no one on here seems to have one. So been having a look around and seen this on ebay http://tinyurl.com/ckdzza2, looks the same shape as the standard phase 1, I presume its a pattern part, does anyone have any experience of these, likely to last 10 minutes...
I was going to call the thread a question about cats, that would of been silly.
Anyway yeah few questions, I have a phase 1 172, I need a new cat, mine is a double barrelled twin one.
Can i put a single cat on, or does it need to be the same?
Will a phase 2 cat fit?
Now this is the stupidest...
Right, think i need to change the coil pack on my 172, symptoms are rough idle, loss of power, engine struggling on inclines, stalling for no reason.
Would the coil pack be the first thing to change?
I phoned the garage I usually used and they told me £74 plus VAT plus labour, looked in to it...
Hi guys, got a problem.
Wound my window down earlier, then back up it got half way and i heard a crack/ shatter kind of noise. So I assume some how the window has broken? I treid to get the door panel off earlier but didnt realise that the speaker had to come out first... for some reason, I'll...
After some advice here please guys, I made a post a few months back regarding this;
Not the clearest, I know!
But was told it was excess polish, It's Auto Glym SRP and to get it off I should make sure the polish is totally dry and then add a little srp to a cloth and polish it out, I've...
What do you guys think to these? I had them fitted in november (i think), due to my contisports getting too close to illegal didnt think much of them, had no confidence in them at all as I understeered once or twice in the wet with them, at fairly low speeds not pushing too hard, but over the...
Just a quick question really did O.Z make F1's in just 15" or are there other sizes too? Sure I heard of a 16" F1 before but not sure, what about 14"?
Cheers
Did a search but couldn't find a thread similar to this one.
I know its a bit of a common thing but. think mine is slightly different. The carpet is literally piss wet through from the pedals to the back seat, but only on the drivers side? Where are the drainage holes and how easy are they to...
Hi guys just looking for some help with my processor.. getting right on my boobs! Sometimes especially when I am running football manager the processor gets upto 100% useage, I've done all the obvious things i.e Virus checked on both AVG and avast, Ran CCleaner, Defragged, Disk Clean up, deleted...
Help! This is proving to be a right pain the arse! For some reason I just cant get the bulb out, ive managed to unscrew the bulb from the rubber dust cover thingy so I can see the whole bulb. But I'm not sure how to get the bulb out the holder now? Flat head screw driver under the metal sill...
Mate is looking for a new car, since his was broken into and pretty much wrote off last night. He is after a diesel with prefrably with a fairly low mileage(seems he wants it to be under 70k, think hes gonna struggle to find much myself but meh) , urgently. I've been having a look with him today...
Wasnt sure where to put this but;
When the engine is warm when i come to a stop the oil icon flashes like mad, a little blip of the throttle it goes, start moving it goes. Until I stop again. When i start the car up it says oil ok and I checked the oil level on the dip stick it was full.
What...
I'm having a bash at this soon, by hand. I plan to;
2000 grit wet and dry paper
Car plan rubbing compound
then Auto Glyym SRP
Sound alright? ( It's all I have)
Should I go more coarse and work my way up to 2000? Is rubbing compound any good?
(I've put this in other threads but its...
