Or, high mileage. Sounds counter intuitive but I bought mine from a guy who commuted 60 miles each way a day, he said he just stuck it on cruise control at 70. He had a track bike so I presume that was his toy to be abused.
Of course you're going to drive them hard... I've found since owning...
"I have had rough idle recently and problems on start up."
Makes me think upstream lambda.
" 'Catalytic Converter malfunction'"
Makes me think downstream lambda giving, rightly or wrongly, an out of range emissions reading.
Could the over fueling caused by a faulty upstream lambda make the...
Yeah but to people who don't know much about cars they all look the same! Clio 182 = 'sport' sticker and some stick on exhaust tips from halfords!
Doesn't bother me though.
Knocked a can of beer over onto my Macbook Pro, f**king nightmare.
I turned it straight off and took the battery out, dried it off and put it upside down like a tent, covered, with a hairdryer blowing hot air into and across the keyboard, turning it into a little oven.
Just turned it back...
For reference, I paid £3800 for my 2004 182 (both cup packs) on 80k miles with FSH & every tax disc & original receipt etc etc.
I feel I paid too much but it drives fine, has been serviced properly (kind of, the PO opted out of changing the aux belt!) and is in good nick so I don't really mind.
Pull it to get it as close to you as possible and then I used a little screwdriver to lift the catch and pulled on the wire to pull out the plug.
Getting it back on is equally annoying, you can kinda, wiggle your hand up and half grip the plug and then have to push using the wire to get it...
It's not quite that simple, if you have a look in the guides section there's a really good pdf step by step with pics for the whole thing.

"As the registered keeper of a vehicle, you can apply to remove a registration number from the vehicle and hold it on a retention document (V778) for one, two or three years. "...... "the fee to retain - £105 for one year, £130 for two years or £155 for three years"...

My 182 has a definite, massively noticeable increase in acceleration at and above 5000rpm.
My dad had a GTi that I drove a lot and its very different to a turbo kicking in. Its more like a switch being flicked rather than a surge in power.
I looked at the sales data and, correct me if I'm wrong I quite often am, no LY 182's were sold with one cup pack.
For the Arctic Blue, for example, there's 1037 with cup spoiler and 1075 with cup suspension, meaning 38 people specced the suspension but not the spoiler (seems a bit weird)

You'll need:
- 22mm spanner
- WD40 or other penetrating spray
Get the car up on ramps or stands. I had mine on ramps on a sloped driveway and had plenty of room.
It's easiest to work on from the front but you can get at the from the side.
You can see the cat by looking under, its pretty...

And either get under the car and swap it out yourself, or take it to someone to do it for you. It's easy peasy takes less that half an hour. I had the exact same problems as you (CEL light and issues for first few mins), swapped the lambda sensor, completely fixed.
Chill out on the caps lock seriously.
Not had any work done by Northwest Performance but order parts from them and they've been fine. They are a trader on this forum so others must have dealt with them.
That'll be me, I just put the tax disc on never got round to doing the sticker. Where'd you spy me?
Just started my third year of graphic design. How you finding Kingston so far?
