could be anything. but the light in the picture above is limp mode warning light, need to get a diagnostic scanner on to retrieve the trouble code before you can begin to track the problem down :)
as much as that could be true, it would have to be a lie because cups would fail MOT's left right and centre dude but i know for certain cups aren't as strong on rear braking (because we all know they do feck all when it comes to braking compared to normal cars to keep it basic!). bit of a...
50% for the front brakes, 25 for the rears and 16% for the handbrake for your 182 as it falls before september 2010. id say 60% is a bit low, but still perfectly fine. i'd change the fluid over and clean up the brakes when you've got some spare time. get some brake fluid into the rubber seal and...
my first car was a 1.4L mg ZR aged 19 third party fire and theft (cheapest option) 2,500 quid. a year later, i got an sti impreza for 623 quid fully comprehensive. then about the same for a 172 and a s14 before i settled with a fun little turbo twingo which is now 400 a year fully comp with 6...
if it hasn't been opened no, it will be exactly the same as it was when it left the factory. regardless of when it was made, more so when it's fully synthetic. oil will last almost indefinately. the biggest give away to back this up is the fact that there is no expiry date on the bottle!
this is true but it would be an easy enough object to get around. already discussed it with cat cams in regards to having the GT cams made, to keep it basic they said when i'm ready with the cylinder head and all just to send it too them and they'll develop the cams for me (at a price) and also...
it was done almost two years ago by my mate anthony who works with a le mans gt team now but at the time he was just finishing his university degree we done on the road mapping over a weekend of playing around. i've had a TD04 turbo sat in my garage for as long as i've had the map, i'm waiting...
look at a mishimoto z line. that'll be all you need for your TCE, it'll fit nicely and if you go for the black stealthy one it will look meaty. costs 118 from the mishimoto site or 118+ delivery from driftworks
martin you're right, i only say megane 225/230 injectors to the people who plan on doing bigger turbo modifications so that they'll have bigger leeway as they upgrade with the duty cycles and what have you. certainly if you just want to do a basic map + injectors with no major modifications...
really, that's all? no swearing at moderators or threatening to knife someones tyres lol sorry to hear that man but i suppose you don't buy cars for forum privileges lol :P pheww
heading through cardross road past dalreoch and brucehill. the sun was directly infront of me so it was impossible to tell, i did catch a fleeting glimpse though and seen the renault sport sticker from 3 cars behind
wonder if it may be anyone on here!
funnily enough now that you've brought this up, i seen another white RS-197 yesterday at the bellsmyre lights leading onto the dual carriageway. i also flicked my lights at two leon FR's and got nothing back hahahaha that awkward moment when you realise ''that wont be Ghm then...BOLT!'' haha :P
hahaha probably is man. if it's got green wheels then that'll be me. there aren't many twingo's around here nevermind clio sports :( i do miss my old 172!
as for the frothy oil, do you do a lot of driving or do you mainly do very very short journeys? you usually expect to see that froth when the cars not been warmed up fully (the froth is the result of condensation not being fully evapourated from the oil due to not reaching the correct...
hard to hear that clearly. it's much easier to be there in person, so if you want to rule the starter out then remove the starter motor and test it on a bench with 12 volts. you'll be able to see from there wether or not it's the starter motor
from my experience, doing the dephaser on a 1*2 in theory isn't any different from doing say a scenic k4m or a twingo k4m which use the dephaser for it's vvt. this job really shouldn't be beyond any garage out there. i know that i've done plenty over the years, and vvt does take a little bit...
copper grease is okay. it's not ideal, but it's okay. there are a lot of myths about copper grease in slider pins, but they're not from dudes who've been using it for 40 years solidly and have never once encountered any of these problems that the myths would portray. copper grease if you must...
i'm not meaning to sound cheeky but you'd need to understand what the lambda sensor does and exactly how it interacts with the ECU :) it's soul purpose is to monitor the performance of the cat and adjusts fuel accordingly. with no cat, it will still make your mpg go crazy in a negative way. most...
i don't quite know what you mean by cementing but exhaust paste is used for a reason. it's up to you wether you 'cement' it, or apply a small amount to seal the joint. unfortunately with metal you cannot create a perfect seal, so you'll need a gasket and / or exhaust paste. you're also correct...
guys i was wondering, it'll be my first track day and i don't know the whole track ettiquete. i wont be bringing a godzilla, just a little twingo gt (callytee you might have seen it around loch lomond, small world : blue twingo gt, green wheels. can't miss it :P) so if i want to take it out on...
to check your thermostat, simply check the bottom radiator hose (or the top, its late ... my mind isn't functioning just now. mechanics eh!) one will be luke warm, one will be cold > dud thermostat. also turn on your heaters full heat full speed with the car idling. wait for it to heat up, if it...
