My average is about 29 and i travel 2 miles to work. The best i can get is around 38 on motorway. My dephaser is on its way out which i heard effects the MPG (starting to sound like a diesel after its warmed up). Can anyone confirm?? I just cant find the funds to replace it as i only got the...

Re: HELP! Janspeed sport exhaust making a rattle on acceleration after adding de-cat Eddie: Just had it checked over by quickfit who says they can see any leaks or problems and couldnt tell me where the noise came from Tunst: I think it might be the center section. What did you do to resolve it?

Re: HELP! Janspeed sport exhaust making a rattle on acceleration after adding de-cat When i looked the back box and mid pipe had plenty of clearance. ~

Fitted my decat pipe on my Janspeed cat-back exhaust and now under acceleration i get a vibrating metal noise. Took it to a garage and they cant see anything wrong. I then put the Cat back on and its still happening. I think its maybe the mid-pipe connection to the cat/de-cat pipe where its...

Cheers guys. Most you have De-cats?

Anyone know if i need to buy a special De-Cat for my Janspeed exhaust? And also the best place to buy a used one and also the cost? Anyone have this set up - if so whats the sound like? At the mo with the Cat in place it sounds a bit flat. Cheers

Just made a trip from Darlington to Edinburgh: Total miles traveled: 340 (on red line again) Full tank from red line: £55 (129.9p per litre) Average MPG from dash: 36.9 Website MPG calculation: 36.5 Onboard computer seems to calculates the MPG pretty accurately. I was using cruise control...

Cheers people, any idea of cost?

Got my timing belt and water pump changed a couple months ago. It looks like my dephaser is on its way out (Sounds like a diesel when warmed up). Can it be changed without changing the timing belt again?

Hi guys, i took it back to the garage and they did a pressure test on the air con system. It showed very low pressure. they topped it up with gas and air con seemed to be fine. they confirmed what Mickpm sed about it being beow a certain pressure and therefore the AirCon system did engage due...

Cheers mate i will ask if they heard anything when changing the belt

Usually when you turn the AC on the engine noise changes as if its draining more power. You click on the AC button and theres no change in noise and its just normal warm air browing through the blowers. Checked all fuses and they are ok.

Hi guys, Just had a Timing belt and water pump done on my 182 and the leaking has stopped from the water pump but now i have no air con. The garage says they never touched the air con pipes/system when changing the timing belt. Is this correct? I thought the air con system was in the way when...

Thanks for the repsonses guys. Jacked the car up today to try get a better idea of where the leak was. Firstly one stupid question; just been to Halfords and bought Bars Leaks for radiators. Where i have circled below in the pic is where i put this Bars Leaks Stuff Main coolant bottle)? I just...

cheers guys, going back to water pump, is it something i need to get underneath or see from the top?

Yeah, the engine temp which is normally in middle shot up and thats when the stop light came on.

Was driving back the other day and the stop ad coolant light came on. Found that i had no coolant left at all. I topped it up with water and when i got home stuck a piece of cardboard under the engine and theres a ver small leak on the drivers side (off side). Any idea what it could be? Is this...

okay guys, was a bit sceptical on the change of fuel knocking out the EML light but thought i would give it a try. Ran down my fuel to almost nothing a filled up with £20 worth of V-Power. Not really suprised when the EML contiuned to luminate. After that i was considering cleaning the the lamda...

My EML came back on after haiving it reset. Need to try some V-Power as well :)

Im tyring to fit a Janspeed Sports exhaust and i need to know if the rear hanger on the back box needs to be used (hanger circled in red below): ][/IMG] I read in places that it doesnt need the rear hanger and that the front two are sufficient. But Janspeed themselves said that when you by...

Thanks Dan. Anyone have this spare? Going to try a scrappy later. My bolts connecting the downpipe to Cat has also snapped. These one ebay look the correct set but its for a PUG: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280700327296?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649 Anyone know if this...

Cheers mate, will buy myself one. I had a look on a standrad hanger on the internet and found this: [/IMG]. Can anyone confirm if this is a standard hanger i need:

cheers guys, the bores were different KTR 2.5, Janspeed 2.25 . Please can you see my new post as im trying to put the whole Janspeed exhaust system on now...

Hi guys, I currently got the KTR ultra performance exhaust (Straight through mid pipe and de-cat) and have now got a Janspeed sports exhaust (silenced mid-section and Cat). As they are the same company i thought i could just take the cat and mid-section from the Janspeed and put it on my KTR...

Hi people, I have read that they are the same company? I have a Ktec exhaust at the mo (with a unsilenced mid section). I have now bought a Janspeed cat back exhaust system (with a silenced mid section). My plan was to replace the Ktec straight through midsection with the Janspeed silenced...

Sorry yeah its a 182. I think i will give it a shot myself. Is the lambda sensore not just screwed in? Or is there a special way of taking it off? Im looking to swap it out because its just way too loud plus it menas it will be ok for when it needs an MOT

Anyone know if this is easy to do? Looking under the car the de-cat looks like its TWO Spring bolts connecting to downpipe and then a u-shaped lock with TWO bolts connecting to cat-back exhaust. Is it a simple case of putting the car on stands and removing the four bolts, swap out the de-cat...

Hi People, Ive got a Pipercross Viper Air filter on the car at mo but im looking to put back a standard air box back in. I have now aquired a standard air box but without the pipes. As far as i can see from reserching the forum there should be TWO CAF pipes going into the air box. When i look...
