Yeah a fluid change is on the cards this weekend, they judder as well so looking at new discs and pads as well! And is that with a plug and play kit to do it for 40 quid?

Ended up going for a pd130 mk4 golf, averaging 55mpg so far but the brakes are somewhat spongier than I would like! @RubberDuck Thats odd to see it again! I wonder how much it went for in the end..

@JB21 just a straight bolt on job with the calipers? @R3k1355 I'm certainly tempted by something pd engined... do the clutches cope with the remap in your experience? @Goodj the saab does interest me, ive been in a few of the petrol aero's and they've impressed me

Thats certainly an option that hadnt crossed my mind yet but I have always been a Ford Fan so I will certainly look into it! 50mpg is exactly the sort of thing im after! As are nice seats, air con and cruise control. Is the brake upgrade something you bought it with?

Having only just graduated from uni I should probably have mentioned that my budget will be about 2k! If I had the money I'd be getting something newer thats for sure! And yep the mpg isnt tragic on a 182 by any means and did enjoy mine, hence if a good one with belts done was availible I would...

So having just spent £500 and many hours on my clio to get it through the mot it was written off by a Zafira on tuesday... As I'm due to start commuting about 80 miles a day mainly on the motorway I am looking for suggestions on what I should replace it with that will give me good mpg whilst...

Black 182 couldve been me, I was at the station around 7 last night but didnt notice a 172 on my travels!

I had the same problem in a megane and found it much easier just to go to the breakers and get the cigarette lighter and the piece of trim it was sitting in and just fit that, so that's what I would recommend. As far as the replacement you've bought goes, it'd just be a matter of removing the...

Yeah I understand that but the aerial cables seems to run down the bottom of the car on the right. Hmm that seems like a possible option, I will investigate.

I have already dealt with the aerial and can safely say that all runs along the back of the car unless it makes a trip back up the car at the front!

That's good news, makes my life easier. One end disappears off down under the trim on the a-pillar and the other end is somewhere under the headlining.

Hmm thanks, i will have to have more of an investigate.

Oh right, might explain why my auto wipers don't always function. Is the headlining easy to get down at that end?

I was driving along today and this wire decided to emerge from my headlining, anyone know what its for?

My air box and pipercross filter arrived yesterday so it was on with the fitting today, didn't remember to take a picture of the set up it was running instead but needless to say the filter was very hot even after a long motorway trip, so the standard air box and cold air feeds are back for the...

yeah the steam did do the glue as long as I heated it up for long enough, it got the excess glue left on the front windows, from when i rushed peeling it off, easily as well. So I don't see why it wouldn't work on number plate glue too.

Yeah it is a bit manky isnt it, might fail the mot like that anyway so definitely worth doing!

Got some more done over the past few days, taken the old aerial base off because I could only tune in to radio 1, once i got it off i took it apart and it looked like this inside. Then after my new aerial base arrived today I got it fitted and gave the car a wash. So I'm pretty happy with the...

Got a bit more done today, the main job being the removal of the tints from the last 3 windows and removing the glue left over from doing it on the front two windows. I found that as long as I went slowly and kept the steam on it then whole time I was able to get the last 3 off without leaving...

Yeah it just feels like a lot for something so small, these are something I'm hoping I could get done for under £10 if I can get the right dimensions.

sounds perfect, a diagram would make it very easy to make the CAD file needed.

My 182 was missing it's exhaust trims when i purchased it but I'm not willing to spend £50 plus on something so small for a replacement so I am looking into getting a replacement 3D printed by a friend with a 3D printer. If I am able to get this done successfully it may mean there is a...

Got a little bit done today but the possibility of rain is stopping me running extension leads outside so i can steam these tints off. Today my clio and sport badges arrived but still waiting for the renault one, so I got clio fitted to cover up the holes and now im happier with the back...

where abouts are they based? and I work in longfield as it happens!

Its a mystery, they just appear to have generally awful taste.

Just got my 182 last friday, I'm in Dartford whilst I'm not at uni

Hi, After a month of searching for the right one, I picked up a full fat 182 for £2000. It has full service history and so far so good as far as reliability goes. Since i got it on friday I have already removed the tint from the front windows, removed the green vinyl wraps from various parts...

Hi all, just picked up a 182 with cup packs last friday and im currently going about returning it to standard. I spent a lot of time on here reading up before I bought it and its already helped me out greatly so I thought i'd best join up now im an owner!
