Oil and filter change. Didn't bother taking injector cover off though. Do people honestly do that? ?! Just managed to squeeze my hand in and get the filter on ; )

Cheers ears.

Got some Castrol Gtx 5w 40w left over, so will prob use the rest of that this weekend on an oil change. However I will need some more so is it best to use the same again or can you chuck in any 5w 40w?? Cheers

I feel your pain. Did that once, too fast in my old Mondeo and ripped the whole bumper completely off as it caught the grass on the way down. ; (

That's got to be an older M5 Yeah? My MD has the new one and he is raving about getting 24mpg!

Put some bigger washers on the rear heat shields as they had broken and were flapping about all over the place and winding me up. No more rattling now!

Did a a trip from Ashford, Kent up to Cheam Surrey and managed to get just about 42 mpg exactly each way, in a 05 182, so pretty surprised by that. That was a steady 70/80 all the way. I was shouting at the missus, "We are getting 49mpg in places" which she couldn't have given a toss about ; (

Eeeerie! Don't like that one bit!

Try it, then you may be able to contribute to this thread ; )

Agree. Night time gunning is great, but what if farmer Giles leaves his gates open and a whole herd escape??! Steak for tea at least ; )

Country roads are a nightmare. Friend of a friend ended up killing a horse on one once...... ; (

I can remember coming to a t junction off a b Road, with a lot of gravel, too fast and nearly T-Boning a Porsche that was doing about 50mph! (Was in my old Mondeo estste) ; (

Haha! I think you are right Sir......

2" from it! Someone had your back that day! !

I know, more of a whoah, easy now! Just sat here bored so thought I would start a thread! ; )

You keeping the 200, or trading down (up as some may say! ) ; ) £3k shud get you something nice. Put a wanted ad up in classifieds on here.

How close is close?! Not really fully connected with the car as its not my daily driver (girlfriend doesnt know how lucky she is!) but had it slide out a bit towards the curb on a roundabout a while back which made me think, whoah - hang on Jon! Anyone else had some bum clenchers?? ; )

Buggeration.

Can't be more than that tbh. Didn't bump about and scratch her did it? ?

Anyone ride motocross/ trials and transport their bikes using one of these?? http://www.davecooper.co.uk/motorbike_racks.asp May be getting a bike (road legal), but won't want to be do mega miles on it so was thinking of moving it about using one of these on the back of the Clio. (if I start...

My 182 broke down on me on the first day, so I know your pain/frustration. Ended up being the coolant sensor being faulty, so was cutting engine out to try and protect it. Also, you do get the mustard gunk on cars not being driven in decent journeys as well, so isn't always the head gasket which...

(Not diesel though! )

Whatever is the most expensive at the garage.

I've always been told if you are spending £1k or less a year, then that ain't so bad. Prob a bit more for a 172 seeing as they are a performance car.

Football, frisbee, aerobie sprint and any roadkill I find for dinner.

"What da fuq is dat thing" as you fly past overtaking him. Love it! Don't think I would ever be be brave enough for the ring. Looks like carnage!

Front bumper scrape, front right fog cracked, not running on "correct" coolant (according to some on here!) and some bad alloy scuffs.

Reckon a BTM exhaust is gonna be that much? ?! Best do mine. ... ; (

What are ITBs??!

Any idea guys?
