:clap:

Typical solid Mk1 then lol. I'm looking forward to seeing it back together. Are you keeping it standard?

Is this a full restoration or is it just a respray?

Should do, my 53 plate did. Was it a car that had been around for some time before being registered maybe?

So long as they're in good condition I'd use the old ones.

I like that lol :lolup:

If a mod could change the title I'd appreciate it.

They are, I've mis-typed it being a clown. Thank for the heads up.

Welcome!

I'm struggling to think of an appropriate way to describe this POS.

Ford, Peugeot, Citroen fitment. Sold the car so they need to go asap. :D http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=191165657561

What happened to the cup spoiler?

I noticed a good 4-5mpg difference after having my old one serviced.

Still for sale, belts have been done but of course no receipts......

Feels far better, it's chunkier and seems smaller although it probably isn't by much.

Yeah they're a pain torx, almost guaranteed to be hammering an oversized one in at some point on a job that should be simple. Exhaust clamps are usually bad as well, they seem to corrode more than anything else and snap.

Well today's been a rare job on the 182. Wifey has been moaning that there's a rattle at the rear whenever she goes over a bump so it was time to investigate. Luckily I have a ramp to my front door that you can drive one side of the car up and make a natural little pit. Thankfully there was...

That's one of the worst things going when the bolt snaps or lets go and you punch whatever's behind it. Just been trying to avoid doing the same on my exhaust because I must have lost a fair amount of claret last time I went near it :mad:

Although I did break mine (first one I've broken out of a few I've done). Usually just come off with a twist and a pull. I've got a spare so I'm not overly fussed.

Brute force

Makes sense, not.

Fitting the 200 steering wheel was a bigger ball ache than it should have been and included more swearing than it should. The old wheel wasn't too bad to remove and the new one fitted ok. I meant to do a guide on this but was at my parent's house doing it and my phone battery went dead so no...

Old wheel against new wheel:

Anyone got any tips or suggestions around getting the horn to work? Fitted the wheel, sorted the connectors but no joy. Struggling to get the airbag back off as well to check. :mad:

Nice Williams!

Yeah I probably can do that, just with me having Brembos, an RS Tuner and a Whiteline ARB sat waiting to be fitted it's gone to the back of the queue. I'd quite like to swap the tip to a 3" though as I'm not the biggest fan of the oval one.

You need to be careful how you say that on the internet, you might get a bit of unwanted attention.......

The problem with mine is that it's quite a small tip on the exhaust and only slightly cut at the moment. It's what a previous owner did. If I'd done it myself I wouldn't have done it without the 182 surround.

Yeah we were having a chat with him for a bit, it's a nice LCR. The 172 surprised me, my brother's ST is somewhere around 270-280bhp and it only started gaining ground in 4th gear. I'd been missing my Focus ST until I bought this. Just need to get some of the upgrades fitted, holidays paid for...

Makes me want to change the tip on mine and get a 182 surround!
