Yesterday, around 530 - followed me all the way through Thannington/Wincheap. I was in the Silver golf with silly wheels.
Looked really smart, on Turinis.
Anyone playing this? Its free to download!
Mud physics are awesome, ive spent hours getting stuck and unstuck - plenty of MODS out there aswell.

As much as I loved the 2 182's I have had in the last 10 months, the increasing work mileage and increasing nagging from the good lady to stop spending so much on fuel (aka more presents for her...) became to much, so after a very half-assed effort to sell the Clio, a swap was arranged on...
Restored my headlights over the weekend using the 3M kit. Really chuffed with the results - 99% of the scratches/tarnished plastic has been sorted and its crazy how such a small change can make the whole car look better.
Little step by step:
Before, looking crap
First step is to mask...
I thought I would start a new thread as my last one was getting confusing!
My car started cutting out in traffic last week, and over the course of a couple of days this developed into a full misfire.
It has only given me a warning light once, P0301 misfire on C1 - this was cleared and I havnt...
My 182 has developed an intermitnent misfire on cylinder 1. It
Coilpack seems fine, plugs seem ok, and leads seem ok.
The only thing left to check is the injectors...
Is anyone handy to take a look for me in exchange for some beer tokens? Any time tomorrow/weekend!
Train to work for me...
On my journey home last night my 182 cut out in traffic. It wasn't particularly heavy and was only stop/start for a few minutes.
It stalled when I dipped the clutch and then I could only keep it running by feathering the throttle - it was coughing and spluttering and would stall as soon as I...
Trial fitted for now, and the car is filthy, but not bad for £100! They are ripseed 'Ultra 15's' which are pretty much OZ ultra copies. Plans are to plastidip in a gay colour in the next few weeks, and then I think some cooksport springs to drop it down slighty! Ill also add some OZ/Renault...
Im planning to 'plastidip' my new 15's next weekend, most likely in black, but I was toying with the idea of something lairy/childish as it can always be ripped off...and I need to get the gay wheel thing out of my system...
Show me clios with bright wheels, blue, red, orange etc etc
(car is...
I've got a big drive up to Cumbria and back in July (circa 350 miles each way) and I was thinking it wouldn't hurt to take a space saver with me just in case (along with the usual can of tyre gunk)
Has anyone done this, and can recommend one that will fit/clear brakes?
Seen a few on the 'bay...
Picked this up a couple of weeks ago shortly after letting go of my Liquid Yellow one...
Gave it a good going over today and got some (crap) snaps:
Plans are:
Some 15's, possibly OZ F1's or similar
Suble drop, nothing too silly as I dont want to ruin the handling and it's...
Before I continue I would just like to say I have never even considered purchasing anything 'Ripspeed' (or anything other than cleaning gear for that matter) from Halfrauds...
BUT.
I have been offered a set of these CHEAP and I am considering taking them. I have been toying with some new 16's...
Im planning to swap out my stat tomorrow and do a full fluid swap because my temp has been reading 1 or so bars under middle (and seems to be a little down on power)
Thing is, my rev limit appears normal, just over 7k rpm, so it cant still be in cold map?
Any ideas? Maybe the sender?
I did...
Im swapping the thermostat on the 182 next weekend as the temp' is sitting a little low and I'm pretty sure its staying on the cold map.
My initial plan was to grab 5 litres of 'type D' from Renault to top up any coolant I lose BUT that is going on the assumption it already has the same/right...
I was looking into running a Connects 2 system on the standard HU, but I am now considering paying abit extra for an aftermarket HU to gain some better sound quality and features...
Ideally I want one with a REAR mounted AUX, so I can run the wire to the glove box/cubby under the climate...
Just after 5pm today, you were filling up as I was leaving my work site.
I also keep seeing another AB182 heading towards canterbury every morning with a nice looking blonde behind the wheel!
I've decided to bite the bullet and get the belts changed on my LY a little earlier than planned.
These two guys are closet to me (Code-red being about 40 miles, ED around 70) and have quoted me very similar prices.
Just wondering who has had experience with either?
I have had my LY 182 since November, and although I was unsure at first, the colour has really grown on me - even though it does show up dirt more than a black car!
I have recently started taking on more responsibilities at work, some of which includes meeting clients, some 'rep' work etc and I...
My emission warning light came on yesterday, and after plugging the car into a generic ODB reader, this was the outcome.
P0325 Knock sensor 1 malfunction (bank 1 or single sensor)
The code was cleared, and the light hasnt come back on in 40 miles...Now my dad, a mechanic of 30+ years explained...
Driving into work this morning and this little beauty has come on. No loss of power, no decrease in MPG, all sounds normal, idles normal, exhaust sounds fine. Turned it off/on again when I got to work (15 miles) hoping it would clear and it hasnt, but it did seem a little hesitant to start...
