I've done it before but the company name now evades me. :o Can someone please refresh my memory or recommend a good company you've used before? :D

cheers just looking now...

I used rover gunmetal or whatever it's called, oh and I masked off the lettering on my 16v badge although that will be pretty tricky on the 2.0 16v ones! ;)

:bump:

For a 182 Steering wheel and the airbag. I have checked over in the guides section but it's not listed. I have looked under the airbag on mine and there's about 10 different sequences of numbers! lol! Someone please help me out, cheers :D

Did you drive the car between measuring? If you didn't then the suspension will have been extended to it's fullest when you took the measurement with standard springs mate. Probably meaning the difference will be far less than 140 - 150mm.

harsh ;)

I doubt springs alone could compress down to -140mm mate or are we talking coilovers? :S

Spotted this evening as I left at about 5 - 5.30pm, parked up on the prom facing into Blackpool centre. Needs a clean! ;)

lol :clown:

I got stung over my plate which was DAZ24 27 instead of DAZ 2427. Full legal font, size and lettering just one space different. It's the ANPR that gets confused with the spacings so you will get pulled, it's just a matter of time!

Thanks Tigger, that link looks good although it's not a Sony unit. As above I have my CD changer to fit so the head unit needs to be a Sony.

Also, as I have recently found out, the Admiral group (including Elephant and Bell) will do a search on your credit file whenever you do online quotes before you even take out the policy. I recently signed up for online credit files and to my amasement in the last 12 months there is about 10...

cheers :)

Just double checking (without going outside :o ) that the rear indicator lamps are offset pins? On a 182 btw.

9K, lol! Why would anyone buy a 53 plate 172 for 05/55 plate 182 money? :S

cheers Brian, very helpful. I will give that a go in the morning. :star:

and the price... ;)

They aren't bi-polar Brain I have tried that already. As for the door switch I don't believe that's the cause but could be wrong. I think it is more likley a trickle back as you say so wondered if I could surpress it with a small resistor or similar?

Swapped the standard filament lamps in my courtesy light for some white LED ones. Simple enough, but they now glow very dimly when not lit, is there a resistor that I need to fit to cancel this out? If so what value etc? cheers.

Thanks for that...who said anything about chav? :rolleyes:

lol, cheers Karl just what I was after! :D

ok, fair point. Without the cruise controls please. :)

change the zorst? :rasp:

please, complete with airbag. Just want to compare it to the 182 one, if someone can post up a pic? Cheers :cool:

Yeah I understand all that Brian. Thanks for clearing things up. :D

Cheers Brian ;) So as you say above, Mr Jo Public, became synonymous with referring to HID's as 'xenons' even though the two are not in anyway linked. The HID's on the cars of today probably use the Sodium you refer to above?

Yes that clears things a little thanks Brian. So where does the word 'Xenon' come from in describing standard fit on cars?

can you please explain that a little more Brian as I'm confused? I'm not doubting your knowledge I would just like to expand mine a little. As I understood things, a HID is a High Intensity Discharge light, and a xenon light (as in standard 172/182's etc not aftermarket) is a HID light that...

Actual 182 Xenons like Matt is referring to do not come under the post that you refer to as they are the complete headlight so there is no problem with the beam etc. As for the washers/levelling system that still seems to be a grey area although I never had any problems with mine.
