I put a brand new battery to the car and it started first time. Left it for a while, started fine again, so fingers crossed it was a dead battery. Although I have never seen a supposedly good battery go from being very good to completely dead in 15minutes! :(
Same thing has just happened to me in the last hour in my 182! Have you managed to sort it? Did it start fine with the 197 battery? I noticed on mine when I had the bonnet open and the ignition on the coilpack was making a weird noise, is that normal?
Thanks mate! You got home pretty quick! ;o) No not going to Trax! Got a wedding next weekend! Is it any good? Planning on going to the Rally Day at Castle Combe on the 18th of this month though! Are you off to that? What exhaust have you got on yours mate? looked like a nice single silencer...
That would be me mate! Great to see another Trophy! Your T was looking very tidy! I haven't seen another since i moved to Worcester, where are you based? I've just put a spotted post on the Clio Trophy forum! are you on that?
My Mate had an EK9 and to be fair for a 1.6 it was so impressive! Especially when the V-tech kicked in! + Reved to 10500rpm!! He wasn't sure if it had been modded but I don't think it was suppose to rev this much, but it did!
I've had a FF 182 then went to a Trophy! It's a definite step up not just the handling but the fact you seem to get a load more looks, rare car, and people even stopping you for a chat! I do miss the few extras the FF 182 had i.e. climate control, variable speed wipers and xenon's but these can...
Re: I dont know what to do - 197 to 200 - advise from long term 197 owners would be g
In my opinion there isn't a magazine or internet photo that does the 200 justice! I think it looks loads better in the flesh!
Re: 3 Months of Trophy.. Progress thread.
Hey Aucky, I love the 2 colours on the engine cover! I don't really like the look of the engine covers, but have to say that I'm quite taken by that look. Spotless! Good work!
I have been considering a new 200 but just thought Id see if there was much difference in the MPG. The computer in my 182 tells me its averaging about 27MPG when I drive it around tidy (I know you can't trust this but it feels like it's drinking a lot more than that). I guess though that's quite...
Is the 197 head compatible on a 182 block? Is it pretty much the same except for the inlet and outlet sizes?
Very interesting to see this mod being done! and not only that you can actually get at the plugs!!!! ;)
It's a pity I missed you mate would have liked to have heard the Yozza! I fancy getting a new exhaust system for mine and I've heard lots of good stuff about the Yozza. There are a few 172's and 182's up here, the blue 182 is my mates old one, he's sold it for a yellow Meg R26. I use to have a...
