Place it in saucepan full of water, bring it up to boil and check for movement is a rough way. However, I wouldn't bother since the symptoms you've already described indicate towards a faulty thermostat! I had the same problem on my Cup; replaced it (only cost £13 for the part) and the needle on...

I'm sure there will be plenty of materialistic young women who will be tempted by the colour!

86500 miles for mine!

Mine is definitely 194g/km and I too paid £250 for 12months. I hope that this 273g/km on your logbook is only a typo!

RE51 WPV - obviously one to avoid like the plague if it ever survives long enough to be put up for sale. Absolutely disgraceful driving! :mad: Well no actually....

I've seen this on a few occasions, most recently today at around 17:50 near the Shell petrol station (just off the outer ring road, right next to Tuckswood) on the Ipswich Road. Reg starts with HK54 if I remember correctly!

I think the P1's fantastic. Got much more of a zing about it than the MP4-12C and a less awkward name! More imaginative than 'The Ferrari'!

One word; cost! Knocking a few operations off the production process saves time and therefore money.

Mine's an 03. Clear side repeaters and the keyhole is on the passenger door only! Standard cup interior though, which has done my back in on some long journeys....

You'll notice a change in drivabilty too (unless the sensor's always been knackered in your ownership). Just another thought - checked your tyre pressures recently?

What work did you get done to it? Anything ignition related?

Make sure you post a pic once it gets to 222,222 :)

I think it gets an unfair rap personally! Count me in :) 1. DannyR - Bury 2. Quinton - Bury 3. P17 TOO 4. Tom-173 5. hiben1 - Bury 6. Canary172

Probably best to stream it online, though I'd advise using an ad blocker on your web browser to filter out all the advertising crud that ends up on those sites.

I used to have a Fiesta so I've had plenty of exposure to rust :P

If you're aware that it's a common question then would you not think that it's likely to have been answered already? http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?641177-Few-Questions-about-cambelt-change&highlight=cambelt+tools Took me very little time to find that thread - see a few posts down

I'm always game for car meets :) I'm usually free on Saturdays (assuming I'm not attending to something on the car :P) and weekday evenings.

By front end I'm assuming you mean the bulkhead? It's usually the lower gearbox 'dogbone' mount, but it'd be worth checking the other engine mounts for wear too (upper driver's side engine mount and lower gearbox mount).

Same. Yarmouth seafront's usually a good place for car meets!

Black N Blue's first album is currently in the player :) Also have some Van Halen, AC/DC and Rage Against The Machine in the glove box!

Sounds good! I'll try to get some more Norfolk folks together for next time :)

Yeah sounds fine to me! Is that just off the A1075? I'll PM you my mobile number.

Anyone from Norwich going wanting to convoy it down? :)

Quite honestly I enjoy the 15-30min episodes of Chris Harris On Cars more than Top Gear!

The nearside CV boot securing band decided to break recently, so I cleaned everything up (unsealed boot obviously results in a bit of grease oozing out), added fresh CV grease and fitted a new band.

The needle on the temperature gauge should sit at the middle bar once up to temperature and stay there. I suspected a faulty thermostat when my the needle on my 172's gauge would only wind up to 1 bar below the middle bar, and it tended to wonder between the bars depending on what speed I was...

I have one on my 172 and it noticeably increases the noise, particularly on idle as DannyR says. Personally I like the noise, but I can understand how it would grate on some people. Having said that, the quality of gear change improved vastly & I'd consider it a huge improvement dynamically.

I saw a black 182 in the UEA car park at around 18:00 ish today. Looked tidy!

Agreed. Apologies 'The Fatty'; I thought you meant these areas and not the sills! :o

I just apply some fresh Hammerite underbody seal on the jacking areas once it's worn a bit thin. Admittedly it wears off after a while like the original Renault stuff, but until then it'll keep the floor protected.
