How easy did you find it to do? I want to tackle it too but according to the z4 forum it’s a very difficult job?

Yeah they all seem boggo spec. Xenons make a massive difference. Half them don’t have it

Both them are lovely. I too have just bought a 3 series?also assisted by sir dave. He’s keeping the market strong

As above the sidewall is soft as s**t. They kind of collapse on themselves, that’s how they’re well rated in the wet. I don’t think they’re suited to heavier cars. Think it one of the reasons they work well on the clio is the low weight.

Bad luck mate. I’ve never heard of that issue either to be fair. What’s the mileage and when was the last oil change? It looks a good one, is it off here?

Why does it make my willy wet

Thanks mate. Looks almost identical to be fair

Doesn’t look too dissimilar to be fair. Cheers mate

Have you got a pic of yours from the side dan? Just so I can compare it if possible

They’re very nice cars, reliable too. Have you done much to it? I’ve had an inspection 2 and wheel alignment done at an Indy. Weighted gearknob and cdv too. Will also be doing gearbox oil. Not sure if you have any issues but not sure if ours is lowered. It does feel very low at the front.

Sadly not. Has to be a bit more special than what’s offered. Something genuinely different and unique always works. E46 CSL: for obvious reasons V6 clio: wild, very different Trophy: it’s in a lower class of ‘sought after’ and more expensive though but does have a few bits that make it a bit...

Never seen one on the roads. Very nice mate

What do you earn money from? Is it donations or twitch? That’s good going to be fair

You could remove your old one, stick it in a plastic bag and take it along to compare?

A lot of it is just them under steering towards the grass lol

The replies on the first page sum up everything lol. ‘Prepare for problems’ etc I really like them though

Yes they do! I have a z4 and planning on removing it

Just done a control arm on an old avensis. Bloody hell. May aswell just grind everything to s**t. Old bolts are the worst! Good luck mate

I found it confusing aswell @Rojer. A hpi check will show you si or not. The n52 only seems to have the silver coloured engine cover in 2006. After that it’s a black cover

Make sure you’re on flat ground. If you don’t need the wheels off then I’d recommend car ramps, breeze blocks etc. Something that you can put under the wheels after lifting it. Will also be safer than axle stands.

There ya go. The boot floor thing looks like a bodge anyway

I wouldn’t say the boot floor looked ‘factory’ from the factory lol

I don’t see why your average punter would bodge up the boot floor when there are work around exhausts that make it look like a 182. Just seems a bit strange

Text the registration to 78111 and it runs a a hpi check. It’s about £3 I think

Flat boot Twin exhaust Manifold Hpi check - this will tell you. Plus did the 182 not start in 2004?

I had a brand new meg and it was s**t on fuel. After about 5-10k miles it got much better. In the end I was averaging 35mpg which isn’t terrible. Not as good as the Clio but it is more powerful and the low down punch is addictive

Modifying is much easier as it’s a turbo unit. As an all round package it’s hard to beat a 250. As above, you can see the renaultsport similarities in both

I’ve had 172, 172 cup, 182, 182 trophy and a Meg 275. All great in they’re own way. The Megane was easily the most refined and was rapid. Different aspiration made it feel more punchy. The clios much more raw, less refined, frantic at speed. It depends what you’re after tbh. If you want more...

Using @trails engine crane

A beauty. I remember a few years back these were absolute peanuts to buy! Wish I’d bit the bullet
