I'm researching a Welsh road trip for later this year and I'm after suggestions for somewhere to stay in Llangollen and/or Aberystwyth. Don't really have many requests but if you know of a cheap, clean B&B, let me know! Cheers

I'm debating going down the PMS lightweight route, or trying to source the cup setup for my 182 Trophy. In either case, which is easiest to reverse and what's the associated effort required to revert back?

Budgie, Nick172Cup - as mentioned the other day... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-330i-SECURITY-DEPOSIT-NOW-TAKEN-/160966449290?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item257a59188a#ht_1396wt_1171

I have no words...

C8 BRL or similar, heading south past Burger King and up the link towards Tesco (and roadworks). Looked clean & tidy :)

We don't have broadband at home, nor do we have a fixed line at all, although there must have been one there once. We do have Sky but only for TV. I'm thinking about getting BT's most basic broadband package - 10GB per month for £10 (+ £15.45 line rental) - plus £40 Sainsbury's gift card & BT...

If anyone fancies a social night of pool (the English variety) then come down to Riley's, Cremyll Road, Reading, RG1 8NQ. Turn up from 7.30pm and we'll aim for an 8pm start. If you're not a member already then check out the Riley's website - joining is free. It's just a bit of fun but I'm...

On Autotrader - http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201308078207973 This car is so damn close to being my perfect spec... 6-speed manual Decent miles (85k) Full BMW service history Black leather Xenons Harmann Kardon Sunroof MV2 alloys ...and it's a bloody decent price too! It went...

I stumbled on this video and thought some might find it useful/informative.

Earlier this week I took my Trophy to Nick at Detail My Car in Newbury (www.DetailMyCar.co.uk). It went in with the paint looking quite dull, significant tree sap build-up and a few (recent) bird bombs, a heavily stone-chipped bonnet with some further chips at various places on the bodywork...

I'm trying to get some accurate info on when the new AD08R tyres will arrive in the UK but with limited success so far. Does anyone have any contacts at Yokohama UK?

Can anyone suggest a good pub for a meet in the Gaydon / Leamington / Stratford-upon-Avon area? The Heritage Motor Centre at Gaydon is an option but they might not be able to cater for us if everyone won't commit to paying the £12 museum entrance fee. The pub needs to have a decent sized car...

Spotted today (Monday 15 July) at around 2pm. You were heading towards the M4 Hungerford junction having come from the Newbury/Great Shefford direction. The sun was shining and your car looked stunning. LY has always been a bit marmite for me but it looked sublime.

How easy is it to remove original decals from a brand new set of either white or anthracite 2118s, and what product(s) would you use? I don't want to damage the wheels in any way but blue simply doesn't go with Capsicum so the graphics would need replacing, if I decide to go down the 2118...

I've done some searching but it doesn't appear that anyone has yet switched from Sportlines to Cooksport springs, is that right? I'm after a direct comparison of drop (with pictures) & performance characteristics.

The most isolated of places to see another Trophy, I was visiting the farm just down the road to collect an eBay prize.

Can someone tell me the length of the rear side windows please? Ideally, measured at the bottom of the glass, from the B-pillar to the C-pillar. Thanks

Spotted on Middleton Street at 5.30pm on Thursday 9th May. Reg was KD05 I think.

Anyone fancy it? 1. Tim. 2. 3. 4. 5.

For those of you who declare you car SORN and only tax & run it for 6 months of the year, how do you choose when to put it away and when to bring it back out to play? To make the most of the British summer, do you run it between 1 April and 30 September? Also, how best do you look after a car...

Anyone seen any for sale at the pumps? http://www.shell.co.uk/gbr/products-services/on-the-road/fuels/vpower/what-is-v-power-nitro-plus.html

Saw you near the B&Q roundabout, I was in the Trophy heading the other way.

I've tried to find this information through searching but results either don't cover it in enough detail, or people do it differently. So, can someone please help to validate my wash routine? PW rinse Snowfoam and allow to dwell Apply wheel cleaner Clean arches PW rinse 2BM wash PW rinse...

Today I've had the dash off and one of the seats out and when it was all back together I had the following: Rev counter not working Speedo not working Petrol gauge not working Oil temp gauge not working On-board computer not working (press the button to scroll through the options and nothing...

I've just tried to change the Update List head unit in my 2005 182 Trophy for an Alpine CDA-117ri combined with the Alpine stalk & display adapter (APF-D102RE), however, I've encountered issues: Having tested all the connections the stalk controls work but the display only shows the temperature...

I'm after some advice as I know nothing about this. My other half and I have no fixed lines in our house so for internet we use a mobile broadband device (which is perfectly adequate) and 'borrow' our work computers for personal use, however, the time has come to get our own laptop. Our...

I'm thinking about changing the standard head unit for something better... - Is it good practice to disconnect the battery before switching head units? - Where's the best/easiest place to route the iPod/USB cable - glovebox or elsewhere? - Is it necessary to remove the dash top in order to...

Has anyone mounted an amp under either of the front seats in a 182?

This thread is long overdue so apologies for the essay length of this first post. I found Trophy #455 on Pistonheads in July 2011. It was on 42,000 miles and everything seemed to be in order (regularly serviced, belts done, Sachs refurbished etc) so I took a 400 mile round trip to Bolton to...

Spotted on Burys Bank Road heading towards Newbury. Racing Blue 182 with stripes, although they looked aftermarket rather than standard. NG54 JCY or similar.
