So should we be replacing our valves at certain miles? (Just an idea!) could be rather expensive though!

What would cause it to happen mate? Is it a case of just bad luck (cause I have seen 1*2's over 150k with no real issues) or is there preventive maintenance that can be done? I.e uprated valves... - which are horrifically expensive! My car had full history, regular oil changes etc and not been...

Ooooh! Just to say, I have no intentions of slating Rs Tuner. I just found it odd that I just mapped it and then goes after 150 miles! Is it it likely that it was on its way out (car has 84k) and the map just pushed it over the edge??

Here we go.... This was in the 3rd chamber. Looks like part of the valve seating?? No idea what it's called!

Hi all, engine has gone bang! I recently done the 98 Ron Map. Driven it for 150 miles and then it went. Do you think it is possible the Rs Tuner Map could be the reason? All belts, tensioners etc done in November last year by a specialist. Car has full service history, recent oil change, no...

Well known specialist! I won't name any names.. No reason to believe it has anything to do with their service... Just can't understand what caused it ..

All belts, dephaser pulley etc all done November last year.. No idea how it's happened?!

It's *******! They were about to do the compression check.... They found part of my spark plug flying about! Was rattling in the inlet manifold..

Car has been looked at this morning briefly. They don't believe it's the crankshaft sensor. They confirmed there is no fault codes either. They are off to do a compression check....

Also just to add, I just done the rs tuner 98 Ron map a couple of days before. I can't see this having any effect as it was driving faultlessly for around 200 miles or so before..

Hi all. I was travelling from Edinburgh to York, car was driving brilliantly! All of a sudden, whilst doing around 60mph on a dual carriage way, I lost all power. I've been towed to a garage after about 5 hours! Battery is fine, lots of 98 Ron fuel, oil is fine too. I managed to get it to...

Hey there, so did you manage to fix your seat? :)

No worries, just ordered a kit for mine too. :). Cheers

Hi there's no need to retrim.... I had the exact same issue with my 350z leather seat. Wasn't ripped but but had a crack. I used this. Took about an hour to fix it and only £20! Looked as good as new! https://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/Leather_Repair_Kit.php And here the how to...

Hi all, just picked my 182 and looking to replace the gearbox oil. I know it's 75w80 which is alittle pricier than 75w90 which some of us are running. Just looking to see whether I stick with Elf (OEM) or go with Fuschs, Motol, Castrol etc Has anyone noticed a significant difference?? I...
