Control panel seems to be working ok, when I turn the temperature up/down the fan adjusts to suit. The trouble is that I get naff-all heat until the temperature is at 'max' (and probably a bit on 26 degrees). Dead matrix? Thanks, Mark

Sad, yet at the same time hilarious that he managed to arrive at the roundabout that backwards! :)

must be setup for teh induction benefits then :S From the photos the left hand side of the bonnet is sitting much higher than the right, are the hinges bent or something?

Would need to see photos first, obviously

Also quite fast:

It's not an F1 engine

Looks like a World Series by Renault engine, so 530bhp

Loving the engine choice! :D

only if you rrreeeaaaalllllyyyy like yellow. Sunflower ph1 > LY 182 though

Yeah it is looking like the cat at fault. Had an intermittent lambda error coming up for ages, stupidly just replaced it now so that's sorted but the emissions are still up. Car is still runs very well, no signs of anything else at all so the garage is recommending the cat goes. It's SWR in...

Good spot, it does indeed: http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1265&appid=2 Given the lack of any previous upgrades it'd be a bit of a surprise if it was, but then again I do have a k-tec exhaust from the cat back. That complicates things a bit - don't like 'downgrading'!

Didn't even get as far as the MOT starting :D

Thanks. Non-gen as in "to be avoided"? Which would probably explain why mine needs replacing I suppose

Looks like I need to replace the cat on my 182. So I've been weighing up options this evening to see about maybe getting a genuine one 2nd hand. However, mine looks like this: and the majority I've found look like: Can anyone explain what's going on? Cheers, Mark

The guys up there ^ aren't kidding about the torque either. Mine were over-torqued my a mechanic, got less than 1,000 miles out of them before having to change them again. Did you use a torque wrench?

Better than a 182s sex noise I suppose.....

and don't over-torque the nut when tightening it

Finally got a decent tyre selection on it

Have we done this extra bit of film yet? Total bell-end, but that noise..... :eek:

In mine, on anything other than a bone dry road, the 'kick' in 2nd opens a new world of wheelspin when you were certain you had it all sorted.

yeah i remember it was on ebay for a while. The photos there weren't as flattering iirc

Que?

Meaty - yes. A looker - not so much

That's what I was thinking. The only smooth ph2 1*2 bumpers are modified ones aren't they?

Would rather have the BTCC Mondeo that's for sale at the moment, but still drooling every time I look at that Alfa!

Welcome, just wait until you really cave in and buy a 1*2! ;)

Nice one, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. 1-stop shop come service time

Does anyone know if SWR do MOTs? Their website states "MOT preparation" but I'm sure I can remember seeing an MOT Testing Station sign the last time I was there

Hold up. So the Unicorn farts I use aren't considered 'pro' anymoar?!?

It's like Top Teutcher :)
