Shift light is green and turns off below 7k rpm ish
Sounds like the EML is coming on? Have you got a code reader?
Sounds like the CTS has sorted it. RE: the bleeding procedure, I topped my reservoir tank up, opened the top bolt on the thermostat housing until it ran without bubbling. Topped up...
Shame!
Used to be a local car, I remember a 182 manifold was put on it in 2008 ish. Was always tidy, very well looked after and went well!
Could easily be nice again for that money... how the hell are these cars so damn cheap now it's sickening !
Sounds like a bidding war! Ha
I would break it for parts if it's been crashed and crashed into and needs big MOT ££££
The money you make could buy you a better one, and you'll have spares left over. Personally I would look out for a car, buy it if it's good, then pay it back by breaking your...
I've had the Fabia one on as prefer it over no spitter at all... but compared to the OE Cup one I hate it.
The Cup one looks miles better, but I'm too scared to fit it and smash what is second hand gold dust, may have to raise the suspension a little I think
I remember Fred's report or whatever showing the difference in the inlet setup etc / cam cover
I think the only way out is by making it a forum hero and documenting the s**t out of it with lots of maintenance/tasteful changes etc
Used to love my misses old LY :hearteyes:
Car needs satin grills or some products used on it, a replacement N/S fog light, lowering and wheels changed with new plates?
Ha only messing... It's probably better than most of the cars that are claimed to be good on here Leon :)
I don't know if I'm just obsessing here but these have been listed?

Exactly the same as mine sounded... I replaced the lot too as needed doing and still persisted until I replaced all the injectors at once so unsure if it was only one playing up or not.
Following that when I proved it was good I put the 98 Ron RS Tuner map on and the car is so much better for...
Standard 172's have the trimmings you mention. Trimmings are usually Splitter and Spoiler then Suspension and Wheel colour for the 182 cup packs referring to 'full fat' and then there's the optional sat nav/cruise control/recaros etc
Please explain what the Cup chassis is your referring too
Cup didn't have ABS
Cup spoiler?
Cup front splitter?
Turini's?
What headlights are fitted/washer blanks
Cloth seats/door cards?
Black thinner type carpets?
4 x Seat belts, not 5?
Air con was an option but it was non digital
What about traction control?
Same goes for auto lights/wipers/engine...
Lambdas sound ok if they've been swapped. Generally the second one doesn't do a lot.
However the injectors can't always be tested by the spray pattern. My old ones were always perfect on full throttle and general driving around normally but pulling away uphill or too low in revs at traffic...
Coilpack Wiring
Pre Cat Lambda (Although should show a fault code usually)
Or an injection would probably be my guess
Were the replacement parts genuine?
