Stuck in Watford on training for work , went Asda and still managed find a blue 182 by accident , has a CS sticker in the back
reg was LR05 FPJ iirc lol
If you want the key to start the car it's needs a chip in which will be coded to the vehicles immobiliser
if you don't have the chip the car will not start, by time you've messed about trying to find ways around a good system you could have just had a key cut and programmed !
You our can...
Right where abouts on the bumper are these located maybe I'm being a little blind ! I've looked around car a good few times doesn't seam to have had and respray evidence normally covered in over spray or panels that don't fit lol
may ya have been removed and sprayed I guess ?
Noo I asked mate , I'm glad to get people's replys ! I was hoping for 2.5k but don't always get what we want ! Lol
I know what you mean about eBay I tend to notice most of that stuff isn't as described anyway they always have warning lights and shite never works lol
I could put it at 2.5k and...
Black inserts ? Please do elaborate lol it's all standard as I know mate ! And yeah one of the bullets needs touching up ! I can spray them if somebody wanted :)
cheers boys !
Lol was hoping for £2500 for mine !
But it's worth what it's worth !
What do people normally make for these cars in bits ? I maybe tempted to sell a lot of the bits off mine as I've seen a few nails going for 2k recently :/ hence why I was hoping for a little more !
Most people dont really replace them, either they pull them off and leave them, or pull them off and replace them with carbon fibre covers which are around £70-80 iirc
If you want the job done properly , id recommend researching a bloke called 'snappy' on here
His work is amazing, he...
If you do that when you have the new one reprogrammed to start the car, the old one will be deleted and therefore wont start the car!
As suggested if you want one just to open the door, cheapest way is a local key cutter
Debating getting rid of my 182 in the new year for a Focus ST
You can see the full details below my name on my project thread
Im in no rush to get rid just wanted to see
Its a 04 reg 182 with 102k,
Its had a full cam belt depahser and aux from Birchdown at 95k around a year ago
Its had 4...
The ball joint will come out if you flip the hub over and smack the ball joint through the hub (obviously remove the bolt) there is a tool to remove them but easy enough with out !
ARB is Anti Roll Bar , and that is the linkage that connects the bar each side , the links are readily available...
Another one voting for the noise mine was the same with my 182 , not the fuel Eco the same obviously , I was getting a steady 29mpg and with the exhaust it was down to 22 but that was simply down to I love the noise , it went back up once I was use to the noise !
If your struggling with 39mpg...
Well i've been lazy recently and the Clio hasn't had much love !
I've still yet to fit the Hoses they are in my trolley at work , lol not doing much stopping there but they will be going , hopefully either soon or just after Christmas !
Unfortunately for me work parking changes have now seen...
Looks good mate :) defo get silver visions off eBay lol! I bought two sets and 1 bulb stopped working about 1 month later , they sent me a new one FOC as well! Can't moan !
My 182 was actually cheaper to insure than my ph2 172 , only by a few £ but it was lol !
As mentioned be VERY specific with who has done the Cambelt and dephaser ! Mine was done by birch down motors, and the difference when it had been set up properly was unreal!
You here horror stories of...
I'd say that's a healthy budget, For that budget , you'd be looking at a half decent 172 , or a higher mileage 182 imo
To to be honest there's not much between both, buy on condition rather than mileage imo, being a student im
assuming you won't have money to chuck at it , so try and get a car...
Good man ;) ! If you want see the difference have a gander through my project thread mate there's before and after in there ! Click the renaultsport 182 link near my name !
You'll be told to save your money and buy a 1*2 !
But if you want to mate do it , general air filters are okay, but I'd recommend a good panel filter , cone filters just make noises no gains, but if you want noise a Cone will do!
As for exhaust , I'd say nothing bigger than a 2.5 - 3 inch...
I had a mk5 lower and set up properly, nothing on the Clio ! Also as said the 1.7 puma does 60 in 9 seconds so nothing at all to worry about !
I love my fords but facts are facts , even racing puma would struggle to keep up ! They handle well and look the balls though lol
Well I was coming until I came down with the worst case of man flu ever ! But I still wanted come , and now the Clio is making a rather strange noise , will have to see what I can do with it tomorrow !
Get the belt done ! Some people baffle me yours car only worth £500, so the obvious thing to do is not look after it and go buy another car that could be a nail!
My 182 is on 102k at as long as they are serviced most cars no matter what will do good mileage !
Cambelts on 1.2s are easy and...
