    Collecting Cars - The Motorist

    Great morning wasn't it! Thanks for the photo of my 182😎

    DCI Cruise Control Retrofit

    Legend, cheers Martin. I’ll look into this, mine is a 2002 car so it’s an early one, but fortunately a high spec so it’s likely it’ll have the wiring.

    DCI Cruise Control Retrofit

    Hi all, I’ve read some previous threads but looking for some definitive answers to this. I recently got a DCI 80 “Privilege”. Has pretty much everything but cruise and I’d really like it, I use it all the time in the 182. Which things are needed, and what is needed to be done? I’m guessing...

    Sonax BSD Pics

    This is more like a spray sealant rather than a QD as mentioned above. Great to use after a wash for some easy protection. Watched some good videos about it on YouTube, testing its durability etc and it’s absolutely mega for a spray on product. I enjoyed using it, happy with the results so I’ll...

    Sonax BSD Pics

    Tried it out today on the newly acquired daily. Not worth showing pics of the result, will wait until I’ve used it on the 182 for that. I used it though an Autobrite Trigger bottle for more of a mist on the panel, proper 500gsm buffing towel to apply and another to buff. Wasn’t bad to apply...

    I’ve heard that, apparently because it doesn’t contain silicone like some other products, but that also works in its favour for durability. I’ve always used two cloths for application and buffing anyway so hopefully should be alright! I think like most products it’s using them in the right way...

    One of Autobrite's with their chemical resistant trigger, but there are plenty of similar ones about, I just have some of these lying around. I have a few of them for various products that I either buy in bulk or dilute. Great bottles, and great for this because you can alter the spray pattern...

    Sonax BSD Pics

    Decided to take a punt on some of this the other night after seeing @Danith's post above. Excited to give it a try, some other people I trust on detailing seem to rate it too so we shall see! Can't complain at £8 for 750ml. Got a different bottle with a better sprayer to put it in too, should...

    182 Kangoo Van, Oulton Park 21.1.2020

    It is amazing to see how calmly he can dive on the brakes last minute, with commentary too! Suppose he’s used to much much faster machinery.

    182 Kangoo Van, Oulton Park 21.1.2020

    182 Kangoo Van, Oulton Park 21.1.2020

    Spotted in this video at 4:33. Mercedes GT3 driver in a Clio 200, pretty awesome watch. He was a bit confused by the van lol!

    Recaro Pole Position Seat fitting - Info

    I had the same issue when fitting mine. As mentioned above I just elongated some of the holes, and drilled new holes where necessary. My driver's seat is still slightly off centre but nothing major, they aren't bang on central as standard, just you have the room to budge over in the standard seats.

    Niall's BG 182

    It’s almost literally a completely different car now! I think the shell is the only thing I haven’t changed on this from when you saw it 😂 Have to have a nosey once the nicer weather returns!

    Niall's BG 182

    Definitely! I drove @JamesBryan’s which has the Quaife on some roads near us a while ago, and I was staggered at the extra mechanical grip, and then also the traction and composure it gained. Even little bumps or crests in the road where it would upset one wheel and lose traction normally, with...

    Front end suspesion knock

    As James says, we were chasing the same thing on mine. Found that the rear right subframe bolt could be tightened up a turn or so, also just about squeezed a spanner in to get to the nut on the other side to stop it spinning and make sure it was tight. Knock has disappeared, much more pleasant...
