When you make a backup of you current ECU software/data, is that saved as an rst file? i.e, can the backup be used to restore the ECU completely without the need of an additional rst file if I change software versions?

Having problems locating worn wheel bearing, need advice! I have a wheel bearing that's making a noise at +50mph on my 182, I have used my normal method of checking the wheels for play at 9-3 and 12-6, no movement in any if them. I have also checked my fronts in my usual manner of jacking up 1...

What type of metal is the front and rear jacking points made from on the 182? Will it rust like my Mk1 did after bending from being jacked up? Or is it galvanised now?

Ashford motorsport is getting 279bhp from a non-turbo NA F4R? How? and how does the power increase without increasing the revs (at the end the graph get higher whilst the revs stay the same)? Also how does that injector setup work?

Cant make up my mind if I should make something like this or not... in black... Yes or no?

I tracked down the problem on my engine to a faulty fuel injector and have replaced it with a new one. The engine now sounds and feels like its funning fine (full power etc), but now my check engine light is on all the time? before I replaced the injector, the light was flashing, not solid like...

Just wondering if there is any advantage in buying the GSF premium from wheel bearing over the GSF Standard alternative? Surely a bearing is a bearing? I'm struggling to see what could be made worse on the cheaper ones?

Think I need a new coil pack as the car is sounding like a Subaru! I have a spare one form my 1.2 D7F engine, is it the same coil pack as the 182 uses? Thanks.

Where can I go to get my car weighed? is it something they can do at any garage?

Had a run at Dave Baskervilles rolling road today. He has a MAHA LPS 3000 PKW Rolling Road. It only had one run, is this normal? For some reason I was expecting it to be done in every gear? Here's a copy of my printout, apparently 180.4bhp ATF which is good news! But can someone who knows a...

Really need to rolling road my car, wondered if others would like to make it into a day? Register your interest here so we can set something up. I see thing being done in 3 stages - First registration, then a short vote on where to do the RR (majority wins), then when the company has been...

Why do ITB installs move the injectors to the TB? Whats the gain as opposed to being in there normal location? Is it really required? is that the point of ITB's? I always thought it was for increased air flow?

Just wonding if the cheap cone air filters off ebay are safe to use? Is there a good reason they are so much cheaper than say a K&N that looks exactly the same? Will my engine end up with a load of dirt in it due to the cheap filter?

Hi All, Need to remove the dash on our Mk3 TCE to fit a parrot mic. Is there a guide on how to remove it? I looked but couldnt find...

I did a search on the forum, but after 20mins couldnt turn up what I am looking for. My headlight washer jets dont spray at all, I can ehar the motor working for like 2 seconds each side, but nothing comes out? Is there a known casue or fix for this as I have my MOT soon (and I presume they will...

Silver 182 plate ending UHH near St Albans yesterday (Tuesday). I was in the C63 behind you for a short while :p

im trying to clean up the manifold + smooth the surface a bit. I read on various sites that blasting with baking soda is good for this, but it did nothing when i tried it. I didnt want to use sand as I thought that would be a bit harsh for what I want to do. Anyone know what I should be using...

I fitted the gear knob I bought from cotball today - I was expecting a pretty straight forward job, how wrong I was! Step 1 was to remove the old gear knob - I tried twisting it, but I got bored so decideded to cut it off instead. To do this, I cut a line from front to back all away around the...

Or any other part of my car for that matter? I was going to a wedding and was late, so parked in the first place I saw, however, the front left wheel was on a rampish bit, and the back left wheel was about 8 inches on the floor! Both right wheels were on the ground, but the rear one was up...

Saturday lunchtime?

Anyone want to take the job?! I think plymcl172 or McGherkin would both be good candidates! Whoever it is needs to be proactive in making sure they setup some good meets! I talking Karting, driving, airfeilds, photos etc!!

Shamelessly copying a thread the South East of England lot are doing (and this text as im lazy). But still a good idea never the less. I actually posted in there section by mistake as I thought it was forum wide (still waiting for that post to be deleted)! Post the best picture of your car(s)...

So I have found more water in my boot, so it cant be the light clusters as I originally thought as they are all 100% now. Where else can it be coming from? There seemed to be more standing water on the left hand side, but the carpet was much wetter on the right hand side with less standing...

Ok so I took the wheel off today and managed to find some writing on the spring (which has also rusted on the lower parts), and it turns out I have GMAX springs. Im under the impression the GMAX springs are, for lack of a better work, CRAP (capitals because they are worse then just crap)?! If...
