    Clio 182 upgrade to Cup Suspension

    Not really but if your refreshing the rest of the suspension anyway its not a huge amount of work to swap the hubs over.

    Clio 182 upgrade to Cup Suspension

    It's the 172 cup that has different shafts, missing the support bearing.

    Cabasse auditorium difference

    That makes sense my 172 has the bigger Ariel base aswell. However it’s not fitted with a sat nav which is a bit odd for them to put the wiring in.

    Cabasse auditorium difference

    Guess it’s a option for tuner list cars. @Yorkshire Pudding is in the know.

    Cabasse auditorium difference

    Can’t say I noticed any difference in mine, didn’t even realise it has the extra speaker until I started pulling it apart.

    Abs sensor removal hints and tips please

    They don’t absolutely need the torx as the push fit holds them in place anyway. If you get the old one out you might be able to get some mole grips on the thread and wind it out.

    Should I buy a trophy as an investment?

    Yeah there’s loads it’s split between “trading” accounts (212, plus 500 etc) and “investment“ accounts (Hargreaves, AJ bell etc) If you want long term investments then an investment isa is what you should go for.

    Should I buy a trophy as an investment?

    Well I’ll pick my best and worst shares I’ve bought since 2012 to try and be realistic. Apple £3500 would be worth £27000 plus a further £1400 in dividends. £28400 total. Shell £3500 would be worth £2000 plus £2000 dividends. £4000 total. Apart from the initial dealing costs there are no on...

    Over how many years?

    Should I buy a trophy as an investment?

    So that’s roughly a 100% gain assuming a buy price of 7ish now over 10 years. Inflations going to eat into that roughly 20%. Insurance cost probably another 20% Maintenance is anyone’s guess but I think you will be doing well to make 4% a year over 10 years. Not a great investment purely from...

    New member’s 182 engine seized

    How much did you pay for it? If it was cheap I’d sell it for parts and just buy another would probably work out cheaper than paying for an engine swap.

    Decided we needed a cheap family car on lease...

    Sure most new vans are as refined as cars now, interiors of the news transits and vivaros are really nice with all the mod cons. Plus your higher up than most Range Rover drivers.

    Decided we needed a cheap family car on lease...

    Well if you want a more constructive comment would of been better off going with a crew cab van. More practical, 6 seats, better handling, higher driving position etc etc.

    Eh it’s a boring daily doesn’t really warrant its own thread, we already have a lease thread after all.

    Should I buy a trophy as an investment?

    Realistically your going to have to hold it at least 15-20yrs before prices really start increasing.

    Rear shock lower bolt snapped.

    Well this thread is an ordeal.. :LOL: A drill and some cutting fluid would’ve probably got it out faster by now.

    Can a bad fuel filter cause hard warm start?

    Unlikely, but you could always check for metal in the filter if the pumps on the way out. Also check the temp sensor for faults.

    Advice on a Drill

    Of the two posted I’d go with the Milwaukee as it’s got two battery’s and it’s easier to move around. That said I’ve trashed a cheapo Toolstation own brand drill for the last two years on house refurbs and it refuses to die. Drilled some 22mm holes in tarmac with it the other day no bother...

    Rough idling/juddering mk3

    If it’s only happening when your on the clutch then the clutch or flywheel probably needs replacing. If it’s the engine then checking the injectors would by my first port of call if it’s running rough.
