Yeah that looks like it`ll do it mate. I hoovered the hole, then disconnected the fuel rail and turned the engine over (without the spark plug in) which fired more out, hoovered again and then just fired her up. Never had an issue, hope you don't either (y)

and the advice is that they will drop further with the potential rise in unemployment and people needing to free up money - cars are usually the first thing to go. Decided I wan`t something bigger - Looking at something to tide me over for a year that's under 10k as the GTR would be loan...

Reprogrammed the ECU with the RON97 and it`s been lowered - Haven`t decided if im breaking or selling as is yet. Will let you know though (y) Agreed amigo, the car did everything i wanted, but it could also be life telling me its time to by that Nissan GTR I've always dreamed of :)

I didn`t really listen properly when Mike told me - Big end maybe, chewing oil - I just got the new engine part, will listen better when i go get it tomorrow. Its on about 120k if memory serves (Have the cruise control on all the time so don`t see millage that often.) Spent £1,100 on it in...

Just got the news that, after 14 years of ownership (abuse), my 182 is dead. Needs an engine transplant if its going to be brought back and my gut tells me that isn`t worth doing. Soooooo, where do I go from here? :( What cars have you lot fallen in love with after moving on from a Clio?

Well it`s stripped the threads - cant even get a new plug tight :mad: Helicoil time for me :cautious:

Cheers @Eddie555 - will do that first thing in the morn (1 and 3) (y)

So an Oil change is needed? (y)

No it didnt stall - limped for about 5 mins doing my best tractor impression (both speed and noise) to get it home

and chewed a HT lead to boot..... Hey guys I'm going with the assumption that the plug has worked lose and popped out causing all of this. Before throwing a new plug and HT lead on I'm guessing i should be checking the cylinder for debris? Couple of pics below and any advice what i need to...
