    Decent update incoming! Splashed out and finally got my Turinis refurbished. The powdercoaters worked some serious magic to refinish them as they were so far gone in some places, but now they look absolutely brilliant, hard to believe they're the same wheels. I also realised I was a little down...

    James' 182

    Treated the Clio to a proper service last weekend, thought I'd splash out on the good stuff. Millers Nandodrive CFS and Genuine Type D coolant. Noticed a longgg time ago the rear spring rubber mounts were missing and was causing an awful creaking noise when going over speedbumps, so finally...

    Jasons sanctuary for abused 182's - Latest Arrival.

    Not seen a laguna splitter since my 106 days about 7 years ago haha! Shame to lose the Turini's, the difference between those and the 182 alloys is night and day imo.

    1*2 pet hates

    The sheer amount of dumb f***s that drive 2002 5dr Vauxhall Vectra Diesels who think you want to race them... f**k the f**k off

    Found some epic driving roads in the peak district over the weekend. Absolute belter of a day, roll on summer. And for the first time in about 3 months, the poor Clio got a proper clean today! Properly happy with the results.

    Oldest game you still play?

    Hands down the best game ever made. Replayed it again just last year.

    The little Clio took some beating over the last couple of days, handled it like an absolute CHAMP. It's like a little mountain goat in the snow, unstoppable!

    Needed some milk so took an essential trip out in the 182, I'm lucky to have such a long driveway.

    My Impreza mistake

    Looks cracking, how come you decided to sell? It's no surprise every man and his dog are trying to set up their own raffle company these days, facebook is absolutely flooded with them. I hope you got (or near to) your £10k, but mad to think they'll be getting near £16k in raffle money for it...

    Only just seen this haha. BMS shifter decided to disconnect itself from the car, which was just what I needed after finishing a 5:30am-start shift :ROFLMAO: Thanks for coming to help again! Easy fix in the end.

    Covid182 the longest clutch change ever

    Gotta say its absolutely mad you've done all of this work outside parked on the side of the road! No way I'd have the motivation to try that. Need yourself a smart garage!

    No dash lights!

    As if this worked! I was having the exact same issues and so glad I did some forum diving to diagnose! The only thing I'd add is that I had to change the other "sidelight" fuse - number 26 rather than 27 the line above is pointing to.

    Some further work to tidy up the engine bay... Finally got around to painting the cam covers, went with black to contrast against the inlet manifold. I swear every fcking time I take off the inlet manifold & leads I manage to end up with a misfire when I put it back together again lmao. Was...

    Track rod end stuck in hub

    Let us know how you get on! And as @dann2707 said, you need to be mostly hitting the hub from the side on to free it. Not the actual thread itself. But even hours of that didn't work for me, hence the splitter method. Robbed this photo from Google

    Track rod end stuck in hub

    Had this issue a couple of years ago, spent hours smashing the f**k out of it and wasted three gallons of gt85 and got nowhere. Ended up driving a bolt splitter halfway into the thread to grip it, and then use a breaker bar to pivot and eventually free it. Not exactly conventional but did the job.

    THE LAST OF US Part II - Just announced!

    It's quite the ride. The main storyline ain't great and is far too long, but the graphics, design, sound effects and the sheer quality of acting makes up for it. There's some seriously depraved s**t in there too! Brutal scenes

    Dent man - did I get ripped off?

    Regardless of the cost of his van & tools, £250 an hour he'll be laughing

    Giving a 172 Cup some TLC

    Those Turini's look fantastic! Will make such a difference once they're on. Good choice with the PS3s too.

    James' 182

    Had some yellow calliper paint left over from the Cup. A pain of a job purely because it's kinda shite stuff which takes 2 months to dry and chips just by breathing on it. So had to redo them a couple of times. But happy with the result in the end. Whilst the Turinis were off I had a crack at...

    Small update incoming.. Picked up a Brand New Meguires Headlight Restoration Kit off trusty Fb Marketplace for no more than £5! Pretty happy with the result for now! Not sure how long it'll last. Before After Classic French Stickers for the grill. This view though 😍 ...and the...
