If I have to replace 2 tyres , I usually put them on the front first , for about 1500 - 2000 miles then swap the rears to the front . If you do it this way you prolong the life of the tyres . I only do this though if the rears still have decent tread depth though . If you put new tyres on the...

@SamB123 Just out of interest . Where did you get them fitted and who advised you , you need to change them ? Was it one of the big tyres places ? Maybe try a small local tyre place and ask them their opinion if they need changing .

I've seen worse tyres . Its hard to tell from that one section in the pic . Depends who advised you if they genuinely mean it or are they just after a sale . As @imprezaworks says 20k is bloody good going for tyres . I'd be happy with half of that lol . They might be old tyres , as in when you...

They're not screwed on , they just clip on .

Its for the oil breather pipe that comes from down behind the engine off the back of the inlet manifold. If you put your hand down there you might be able to feel it . It just need a new pipe putting back on . Some pics here that might help you to locate it ...

Not the 3D ones you're talking about , but these are good quality . You can buy cheapers ones but they're alot softer...

They only made a few 1000 1*2's compared to bog standard Clios , so I guess parts are are becoming quite limited now . I've had my 182 since new in Feb 2006 , use it as my daily . Touch wood nothing major or too dramatic has gone wrong with mine in all that time .

Whatever you buy and whatever your budget is , be it £1000 or £4000 .......... they're 13 year old cars and you'll always find they want some jobs doing . Some small and cheapish and some big and far more expensive. Don't be put off if you find one thats mechanically sound with receipts for...

Its there just to hold the ECU housing steady , along with the one on the other side that usually snaps .

Like Landman says . It'll probably have leaked most or all of the gas out now . If it's only a small pin hole you might be able to fix it with this . It's worth a try for £4.25...

Have a word with @George@RTR_Parts

Or you could take it to Birchdown . They're only an hour away from you and have a courtesy car , so you can potter about in that while you wait . Get all the jobs done at once. http://www.birchdown.com/index.html

No 1*2 wings are wider .

In post #5 you said the sound was identical from both sides ?

It should be around 750/800 rpm when fully warmed . 1000 rpm is a bit high if it's on the factory map.

@bloke @STEVE.M Checked the fuses and relays all secure . I didn't want to start pulling any relays out just in case something else fucked , that would be just my luck . Had a bit of a nightmare day yesterday with things going titsup . The battery connection wasn't the tighest but not what you...

I'll check them too . Thanks .

Ok. I'll do that first thing tomorrrow . Cheers :up: When you say check them , you mean just check they're not loose or should I be looking for something else as well ?

Stop, serv, battery and handrake light all came on together today , lots of clicking from under the glove box area at the same time and wouldn't start . Took about 5 attempts . Anybody know what the problem / solution might be ? It's been ok since , but just went out to move the car and the...

I have these . Similar to the Halfords ratchet axle stands but they have a locking pin . On sale at the moment for £17.35 https://www.sgs-engineering.com/jsr2-axle-stands?gclid=CjwKCAjwwuvWBRBZEiwALXqjw1kLGhrM8ZlDSYjxl5dDIxlgNyP0AbxDippV65Sp2vj6zrWLtPgr6RoCbAQQAvD_BwE

205 110 is the correct code . Try Autopaint in St.Helens . https://www.auto-paint.co.uk/

I used cable ties just as a precaution . I've seen the original rubbers just peel away and literally fall out of the aluminium bracket . This way , it can't fall out .

For the cost of a few cable ties and £5.99 it's worth doing , then you can forget about it . It might not look the prettiest job , but it works .

I just got 2 new exhaust hangers and filled in the gaps with some of this high temp sealant so it was more soild but still flexible . They've been on the car for about 3 years now and still doing their job . First of all though , i put cable ties through all of the holes because the original...

They are heavy by nature in 1*2's from New, compared to alot of other cars . I've had courtesy and rental cars and nearly put my foot through the floor then get back into my 182 and it feels as heavy as fcuk for the first few miles . I actually prefer a heavy clutch , although in stop / start...

I had a dent taken out years ago over the rear wheel arch . The PDR guy took off the back light cluster and accessed it through there. So I would imagine if you buy the car you should be able to get it sorted relatively cheaply . Maybe you could use this dent as a bit of a bargaining chip and...

It'll probably be a dodgy pic . My 172 when taking a pic from certain angles looked like 2 different shades of silver on the wings compared to the rest of the body work. Oh and welcome to CS @Rob46m3 :smile:

I just noticed yours is a 1.6 . I don't know which ABS ring yours will be . If you take it to the garage they should know and like I said , they're only a couple of quid for a new ABS ring so don't let them tell you it's a silly amount of money for the part .
