    Happy Birthday - 10 Years of ownership

    Well I hope you get just as much enjoyment as I've had over the past 14 and a bit years :smile: . I had a new 172 for 4 years before the 182 . I was waiting for the 197 to be launched but when I saw it I didn't like it , so opted for the 182 instead . There was literally only about 10...

    Lambda sensor size? Pre cat - post cat

    Nice one . Well at least you've now tracked down which sensor threw up the fault code . Are you getting bad fuel economy ?

    Happy Birthday - 10 Years of ownership

    In the grand scheme of things running costs haven't been too bad. Its been serviced regularly , 2 major services included with both belts , dephaser , water pump etc ...... the First major service was a right fiasco ,done at a Renault dealership who took 5 days because of a catalogue of fcuk ups...

    Happy Birthday - 10 Years of ownership

    That's ok . I don't mind the chavvy comment about the number plate . I can't actually remove the tax disc holder , it's well and truly welded to the windscreen so I gave up trying to remove it lol .

    Happy Birthday - 10 Years of ownership

    I've kept it the best I can . It has the usual age related marks , a few unavoidable minor car park dents that I need to get sorted . No plans to get rid anytime soon . As you can see , it's done bugger all miles really for a 10 year old car.

    Happy Birthday - 10 Years of ownership

    She's now 10 years old and 63,500 on the clock . Had her from new . I've enjoyed every moment driving her and still puts a smile on my face most days, when I want her to . Touch wood , no major issues over the years , normal servicing costs etc ....... but that's about it .

    Lambda sensor size? Pre cat - post cat

    Ooops , I meant you Don't need to remove your wheels . Yeah , turn off the light before and see if it throws up a fault code again out of curiosity.

    Lambda sensor size? Pre cat - post cat

    You need to remove any wheels . That OBDII will remove the engine light fault once you've fitted your new lambda sensor.

    Lambda sensor size? Pre cat - post cat

    I have one here , post cat sensor, the original one taken out of the cat . I just measured it , and It's 480mm . I always thought the pre- cat sensor was the shorter one . Although they are both the same sensor, just that one is longer than the other.

    Just purchased a 182 FF cup :-) few questions with vid?

    Might be a bit cheaper at Diamond motors . It's £650 for everything , including oil and filter , excluding spark plugs . It's only about 30 mins or so further for you . Plus Mick usually gives it a free diagnostic check and checks over your car for anything else . It's where I've taken mine the...

    Just bought a 182....couple of questions.

    Welcome to CS . As said above the blowing exhaust will be either the oilve joint , where it connects to centre section or the manifold to Cat fitting kit will need replacing, or both . Both are rubbish and are common failures on the exhaust . I wouldn't worry about the different shade on the...

    exhaust whistle

    You might see a couple of bhp with it remapped . You'll have more noise for sure . You have 2 options , keep replacing the clamp/ seal it everytime it statrs blowing , or get it sleeved like @Addicted said . If you do a search for sleeved cat you'll find out what it entails .

    exhaust whistle

    First of all . The Decat will add Zero difference to performance . Secondly , the Decat will have the same oilve joint as your Cat and will most likely leak again in time , causing it to blow or whistle again . So you'll be back to square one .

    Phase 3 China Blue Supercharged 306 GTI-6

    Very nice . I love 306's . I wish they still made them , I'd have one in a heartbeat if they did . I used to have an S16 many moons ago and I absolutely loved it . Like bill said . It will surprise a few people I would imagine , It looks so understated .
