Im sure you would as your increasing the gap so you need to compensate with a longer bolt, somneone correct me if im wrong please

sorry just read it properly lol. Ive seen them on ebay for a couple of Gs i think

fair enough, i dont doubt you know your stuff its not bad as a basic fault reader though Iv never seen a CLIP what are they like?

They aint cheap though lol i was just curious

I have only heard good things really bar 1 or 2 things spoke to him the other day - nice lad im sure itl be fine

Umm yeah lol Thanks for your help/advice

Can you wire brush tdc sensors?? or clean them with a stiff brush n solvent or something

does the ph2172 have a ICV i know my 182 doesnt

If you want something thats half decent get the rstuner but cost wise thatl be about 150 quid

its a bit of a pain thoguht to be fair took me and my old man about 2 hours of fiddling on his old laguna. without breaking anything either!! Just dont let the bonnet drop again.

Haha nah its alll good! Iv seen you around once but that was some time ago. Il say hello if i see you around. Apperently we look similar :s lol A little birdie told me you may be selling your exhaust soon :) If you are then theres a lad around your area that may well be interested ;)

executive reboot?? GEEK lol!

I was gunna change the plugs at the 36k service i didnt realise that they could last to 72k.. I gave them a wire brushing and visually they look fine. It does ideally need some new leads but as and when really. The coilpack i think is okay. The only reason i could tell it was the leads is...

try unpluggin the battery for a few mins then put it back in - but make sure you have the code

mines on first set at 29k, although they are getting thin now so will replace shortly

Thanks thats great :)

I like the way you point out you saw a 197 but not me lol :( Not a clue how that guy knows my plate. Unless he was a previous owner or something

that will be fine for road use i would have thought. Best thing you can do is braided lines with fresh and bled dot4 in the system.

doubt youl find any at a scrappy there quite a unique size (well no unique sorry uncommon is a better word) i need some new ones soon too i dunno what those mobile fitters are like

FULL POWER RESTORED :D taped up all the HT leads with electrical tape which has done the trick. Took it for as blip and its all sorted running as good as it was before Now to fix it properly im gunna need some new leads ideally... Whats the going rate these days? ps will electrical tape...

Closer inspection plug 1 or 2 are arcing(shorting) on the body somewhere i can hear it tap tap tap tap... Gunna put some insulating tape over the leads to see if this works as a temporary measure to confirm that it is the leads! will let you all know

Thanks - yeah i know what you mean. bloody intermitent faults are so hard diagnose gunna do some more investigating and see how it goes

One of the plugs was noticable darker than the other 3 so im sure the mixture isnt getting ignited It has never missfired before and just started doing it now, so yes i think we can narrow it down to either Plugs, Wires, or coilpack, but which one!?

Done some more investigation... I have wire brushed all four plugs and took it for a blast - seems to have made a difference!! but when the car exceeds 3500-4000 oh gawd its back again EML starts flashing but stops when the engine speed goes down. Maybe a faulty plug im not sure i have held...

centre caps are easy as pie to spray yourself anyway so i would ask what paint he used and give that a go (if he tries charging you this is)

your allll crazy!!

Anyone got the firing order for a 182? is it The marker numbers on the leads/coilpack: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 The actual firing order: 1 - 3 - 4 - 2 Thanks I think its the cylinder that is nearest to the battery that isnt igniting the mix as the plug was greasy as opposed...

Can smell a s**t load of fuel going into the exhaust i will check them aswell :) thanks first on my list is to make sure the plugs is firing

Do you think itl be lambda related though if its doing it all the time? its doing it on and off very first then it starts its popping and banging regime. shall i do the old unplug a wire and see if it makes a difference jobby?
