Same fluid? Should i of changed it?

Yes i did give them a clean with white spirit brfore fitting

I binned the standards as they were worn... tried to bed them in properly, no real harsh braking done for the first 500 miles and the weird thing is warmer they get the worse they get. Trouble is they we're quite expensive so cant really afford to change them again. might take them off and give...

Bout 3 weeks ago i fitted 40 grove discs and mintex extreme pads all round on my 182, done nearly 700 miles now and have to say they are know where near as good as standard one's. Loads of fade and just dont stop the car properly... so much so i found my self using the handbrake at a set of...

Hmmm seem'd to have lost it in my room ........oops

HI, my battery died in my key fob last night. I bought a new one and fitted it but the car still doesn't respond to the key fob even though the light on the remote is working. Does anybody have any ideas as to what the problem is ? Thanks ...

54 plate (oct 04) 182 - 28 k

Here's a few more pics.... The mini i have had for 10 years, its a 91 j plate rsp cooper s and it was my 1st car ..Its been in the garage for 4 years, i have spent a fortune on it making it "brand new" again and its nearly finished..Cant wait.

Yeah wasn't cheap at all but i was having a stainless moment...made the exhaust tone change especially when warmed up...sounds wicked.

Gone for perfomance rather than show and tacky neons.. re audio, genesis and focal are about as good as it gets

Yes mate... its like have a big fat bloke in the car all the time its not a major difference but you do notice it. The re xxx (bout 40 kg including box) is about as heavy as subs get, then when you add amps, sound deadening and cables it all add's up.

Thanks....Just gald to have it back, anyone who has read my post in dealers section will understand why

Never posted any pics before so thought i'd put some up... only taken with my phone though.

Just had a phone call from renault this afternoon to say the box is definatly shot and will need replaceing. The bloke said they have to put an application in to renault hq for a new box. So god knows how long im stuck with the poxy astra..... its sooooooooooo cr@p, makes me realise how good the...

I think it all depends on how hard you drive it and have to say its running slighty more power than standard (194bhp). On my 3rd set of tyres and its due for 3rd set of pads on the front. Saying that though surly being a sport it should be designed to be driven hard.

I will be the first to admit i dont drive it slow but 26000, reminds me of my old vts ...a gearbox every other year. Thought they would be stronger. The astra is a 1.6 twinpoint ..... looks horible, handles like a boat, but i have to say engine is ok for the size of the car and i like the dash...

Droped the 182 off to renault this morning, looks like the gear box is shot. When you press the clutch down at idle there is a strange grinding noise ( have been told clutch bearing). But since i booked it in for this the box has developed a "loud whine" in 3rd 4th and 5th gears and generally...

One standard and one with 17's on
