The leather on the drivers seat by the airbag looks very saggy, possibly gone off in the past....

Your tyre looks flat in this picture :rasp:

The OP speaks the truth! When my car came back from a garage recently they decided to wash my car and jet wash my engine bay while they were at it. Shortly after when driving the car it started to run on three cylinders, misfire and overfuel, which really does make the car sound like it has a...

I'd recommend taking it to a specialist to get it checked, 519 automotive did mine when I got my belts done. Not entirely sure how to check it without taking it to a garage but sure someone else on here will know. If your belts haven't been done or even if the previous owner said they've been...

If it's not an ignition related issue, the symptoms sound exactly the same as my 182 when i first bought it and the timing was out. After getting that corrected properly when changing the belts, i noticed that the car revved more freely, pulled harder and my mpg increased from about 25mpg to...

A lot of people run turinis in the usual anthracite probably because it looks good and original. Gold wouldn't look too bad i suppose bit of a williams tribute, better than these people putting red and orange wheels on blue 182s.

Hello, I'm currently needing to purchase 2 front (and soon to be 2 rear) tyres, I know that most people think that pilot sports are the best and currently having 4 of them on the car (the front 2 of which are nearly bald and still perform well) I wouldn't disagree. However, my budget at the...

Well you've got a gt dci which i suppose is closer to a 197/200 than the 1.2 I had and you own a 172 which is very similar to a cup packed 182 (don't know if yours is a cup/cup packed) so I suppose you would know.

+1 you learn something new everyday.

I disagree. Another thing i didn't like was the fact it just doesn't feel as agile as the 182 (i know it's a 1.2 not a 197) but I still think that the 197 is big in comparison to a 182 and the 182 would be better in the bends and under braking. I admit that in a straight line i'd expect the 197...

Hmm. I was in a similar situation recently where after a woman scraped the side of my 182, my car came back from the body shop and I wasn't happy with it. The insurance company told me they would send out a hire vehicle while mine went back. Here's what i ended up with instead of my 182 lol -...

Lol funny guy.

Would of come to this, however after checking the post code of the "central" location its 105 miles from me :dapprove: and i'm in hertfordshire. Is it me or is the coast not very central? :rasp:

Just get some screws that are a slightly larger thread diameter. Done.
