I had Mike fit Brembo HC discs and the Redstuff pads the other week. I had a similar setup before but with Greenstuff. 1000 miles later, I can say for definite that there is an improvement, and a little less dust too!

Check that the auto feature is activated - with the key in the ignition with all the dash lights on, turn your sidelights on and off, then repeat. It should beep at you to tell you it's done ok. Then start the car and cover the sensor to double check.

Cheers. That's what I thought. I think I'll just have to shell out on a couple of new Michelins then just to make sure.

It's a NON endorsable £60 ticket for no MOT (so no points). Sorry to hijack, but mine is due soon also, but my front tyres are pretty much on the wear markers. I've measured them with a tread depth gauge and they are apparently 2mm. Will it pass the MOT with my ad-hoc slicks or should I get...

I believe that was an optional extra. I just fitted a Sony one myself :rasp:

Awesome work Middo, awesome work. :approve:

I have an 04 plater, and that has the quieter climate temp sensor (as do all the ph2 iirc) and I have the Tuner List stereo too.

I tried to get my missus insured as a learner on the 182, but it was going to change my premium from £500 to £1500! :eek:

I do the same as GTVLEW - Renault Bars and Thule Rack (although my Thule Rack is a bit different). Whilst on the subject, I do find that the Renault Bars do leave slight marks on the roof, even after cleaning the roof thoroughly before attaching the bars.

You can cheat on slower tight corners by tugging the handbrake. ;)

He's got a point, plus where can you find to park in Southsea without paying a small fortune for the priveledge (sp)?

This thread is useless without vids :)

I use my 182 to commute - I do approx 50 miles a day to work and back. Personally, due to the route I take, which is all back roads, it's an awesome work-hack. The only issue I have is that the tank doesn't quite have the range to get me to and from work for a full set of shifts before having to...

Take it off and try gently bending it very slightly. Put it back on and see if it makes a difference.

I had a new Bosch rear wiper fitted at my last service. It also misses the very top section of the window. The problem is not with the wiper blade or arm, but with the shape of the windscreen. If you look at from the side of the car, you'll see that it curves in at the top, towards the...

Well you have to go faster than 88mph, then you can travel through time. Simple really, don't know why anyone else hasn't thought of it before! ;)

Try www.wiperblades.co.uk - I got my Bosch Aero Twin flat blades from there for my 182.

Unfortunately that's wrong. Temporary traffic lights use radar to detect vehicles moving towards the lights. The sensor is the black box above the traffic light. You need to be moving at more than 5 mph to trigger the system into recognising that you are there and it needing to change the lights.

Out of interest, what does the Volvo/Custom-made bracket do? Obviously the A/C pump is removed but why the need for a bracket? P.S. I wasn't having a go earlier about removing the A/C, just saying that I quite like mine as it's my daily driver, so there's no point me removing it for the odd...

Nonsense! I always have my climate control on when on track - keeps me nice and cool! :cool:

The Seat Leon Touring Car this season is a TDi - and although it sounds a bit odd out on track, there's no doubting it's performance.

Every morning this week coming the other way! :cool:

Could've been Mike - he's from Reading so not too far away.

How random? Have you had the balancing checked on the tyres? Just a thought, but perhaps if they're slightly out it might be enough to vibrate small components like mirrors?

You should pop along to the next meet we have. There's one in Pompey at Krispy Kremes soon, but we have more local ones at the Longbridge Mill, Sherfield On Loddon, when the weather is nicer. :D

LOL - Damned boy racers! :mad: ;)

of Clio V6s parked up at the Longbridge Mill pub, Sherfield On Loddon, this afternoon. :cool:

Not far at all matey. :)

RB 182, I think it was Mike's old car. I followed it up the A339 through Basingstoke, you gave us a little thumbs up before heading off towards Old Basing. :cool:

This morning and this afternoon, between Basingstoke and Alton. Female driver. Looked very nice (car and driver that is ;) )
