Doesn't get anymore fun mate. Need a hand with anything give me shout.

You enjoying it then, better than the gti?

 

[fletch8]

so far ive had it in to get the belts done, dephaser, service, nearside spring, offside ball joint, and a 2nd hand ecu/uch.
been busy!
the old gti felt quicker but maybe because it was less refined, but as a daily car i cant grumble at all.
did you have a 182?

 

[Jay.S]

Yeah had my 182 for 18months its on the banner at the top The RB one.

The only thing I needed to do on mine was to change the rear discs & pads, front pads and I put a new Millitek exhuast system on it.

I also gave it an oil change every 6000-7000miles. Where you get the belts done?

 

[fletch8]

Went to birchdown for it mate. Not a million miles away and cheaper than most too!
Yours looks good mate. Sell it to someone local?

 

[Jay.S]

No traded it for my Astra was costing too much in fuel.

You moved back home, I thought you moved out?

Yeah birchdown is a good choice.

 

[fletch8]

What astra have you got jay?
Yeah I moved out but wanted to save for my own place and couldnt do it while paying rent at the same time.
I thought you'd moved to another part of the country to be honest!

 

[Jay.S]

No mate just round the corner.lol

1.7Cdti trying to save myself so the 55mpg is helping out.
