    The New Phone Thread

    I've had my Nord for almost a years now, ordered pretty much as soon as it was released to replace my old Samsung Note 8. The only downside for me is that the camera isn't brilliant. It's not too bad, but my wife's Pixel 5 is so much better and that phone wasn't much more expensive (£379 vs...

    High flow catalytic converters

    Mine passed with a 200 cell magnaflow last year. The main issue that I can see is they don't seem to last very long, hence the 6 month warranty ktec do (last time i checked). Don't expect it to pass an mot in several years time basically.

    Toyota MR-S JDM £2300

    Would be pretty good, but to be fair I bet the 2zz MR2 is faster on track than a 3.0si coupe (assuming they don't have a LSD as standard)

    Toyota MR-S JDM £2300

    Yeah its an earlier 3.0i, so only 231bhp. But it's got some nice extras like M Sport seats, etc.

    Toyota MR-S JDM £2300

    I enquired about this one last Friday, but ended by putting a deposit down on a Z4 instead on saturday. https://www.mr2roc.org/forum/index.php?topic=70355.0 The Sable facelifts always seem to go for good money, so seemed quite cheap, with sensible mileage.

    Toyota MR-S JDM £2300

    I thought the JDM box on these didn't come with the LSD like the UK models?

    The New Phone Thread

    My wife bought the S21 ultra last week to replace her Pixel 5. Was a little over £1k, with the 15% discount. It's going back this week for a refund, as she was really disappointed with the camera performance on it compared to her Pixel. Too many blurry pictures inside, and colours outside are...

    Catalytic converter prices

    Glad I sold mine a few weeks ago. It wasn't really usable anymore anyway, as the inners were loose and moving about. Paid for my Gearbox rebuild, and most of the cost of having a custom sports cat made up. Prices will likely increase again though, whether they'll reach the same high or not is...

    Gearbox oil manufacturer type ? 172 182

    That was my thoughts too to be honest. Just i'd not noticed the grading difference prior. However, I've just spent 5 minutes googling, and I'm not really concerned anymore. Car's back on the road by the way and minus the binding front caliper that I'm hoping to rebuild this week, is running...

    Gearbox oil manufacturer type ? 172 182

    I renewed the oil in my box start of the year with Redline MT90 75W90, the bearings became noisy a few weeks later, probably only used the car twice. Got the gearbox rebuilt and was going to order the genuine Elf stuff this time around, but instead ordered Redline again as it was quite a bit...

    Fast road clutch choices

    I've had a Valeo installed on a previous 182 about 7 or 8 years ago, but went for the LUK this time around from KAM Racing. Only reason for not going Valeo was because I'd seen a few post about issues with the Valeo over the last year or two. Not sure if it was a change in design, faulty batch...

    182 not starting - Solid red light

    One faulty wire in the end, the sleeve of the wore had a tiny hole in it and the wire inside had deteriorated to nothing basically. It looked like green powder. It's much bigger in the pictures because I'd been fiddling around with it. Mick found the issue and replaced the whole cable for me...

    182 Wishbones where to buy

    I bought a pair from the eBay shop linked above a couple weeks ago for £175 delivered. Hopefully, I'll be good for the next 15+ years now.

    The New Phone Thread

    I bought the OnePlus Nord for £379 about 6 months ago to replace my old Samsung Note 8 that had poor battery life. It's been excellent, battery last 2 full days, never have any speed issues and the screen is pretty good. It's been pretty solid and I like the OnePlus software. Obviously it's no...

    182 not starting - Solid red light

    After the car being on Axel stands for about 3-4 weeks, it's good to see it sitting on 4 wheels again. Even if it is ditched.

    182 not starting - Solid red light

    It's taken me a little longer than expected to get the gearbox sorted, partly because I've also replaced all the bushes/ball joints/wishbones springs, etc and cleaned up and painted parts before putting them back together. Doesn't help that typically only get 1 day a week to play with it. But...

    Catalytic converter prices

    He's only 30 minutes from me so I just dropped it off and he paid me via PayPal friends and family. Quite a lot of people on the facebook groups use him though, I believe most post to him. I imagine he pays via PayPal upfront. So you'll have fees and postage off what you're getting

    Guy on facebook called Žilvinas Maknevičius. He did give me a business card with contact info should you not have facebook, that i can give you.

    Catalytic converter prices

    Sold my Clio 182 cat today for £440. The inners were loose and moving around, so it was only going to break up over time and become useless.

    RB 182 Cup - keeping this one

    Oh and before i started pulling the gearbox of the car wouldn't start. I'd left it to sit on the drive since the gearbox went. Started it up on the drive about 2 weeks ago, and it was fine. Now i'm just getting a solid red light. So need to get that fixed too once it's back together.

    RB 182 Cup - keeping this one

    So I changed the gearbox oil on this end of January, to ensure i didn't have any future problems with it, and a couple weeks later the gearbox became noisy. So I'm currently in the process of removing the gearbox for Northcuploop to rebuild it. I did toy with the idea of having a diff fitted...

    182 not starting - Solid red light

    If it fixes itself, I'll probably not trust it for a while. But I'll be pretty happy to hear it fire up again.

    Gearbox removal

    This was maybe my issue, as was looking directly from the underside of the car and internally. I've had to disconnect the steering column to replace the rack on a CMax and the column on a mk2 punto and both times, these were disconnected from the inside of the car. I've already popped the track...

    182 not starting - Solid red light

    I've tried all sorts of procedures with the key that I've been advised to do, or found by searching google. but nothings worked. The car is currently in bits, as I'm in the process of removing the gearbox for a rebuild (part of the reason the car hadn't been used for a while). I gave up trying...

    Gearbox removal

    How do i undo the pinch bolt on the rack? i can't see anything and struggling to remove the rubber cover from either inside or under the car. Do you really need to disconnect the arb and drivers side shocks if just dropping the passenger side enough to side the gearbox off the engine?

    182 not starting - Solid red light

    Appreciate the help mate. The above is helpful. I do have a multimeter, bought to test a alternator a while ago. I've just never had a need to look into anything electrical before, so not much idea what to look for outside of bad earth's and broken wires. Good luck with your dad. Hope...

    Thanks for that. I'll be honest, I'm not sure what I need to look for or how to test this stuff.

    182 not starting - Solid red light

    Cleaned this one up this morning Tested cluster, all lights appear. How do I test the ECU has power, earth and Comms? Seems like this is my issue. 4 beeps on the alarm.

    182 not starting - Solid red light

    Yeah I figured that was the case, but always worth asking the question. No the engine management light doesn't come on at any point
