The car I bought was a 1.2 and is now a 182 conversion - rear beam included. No ABS or ***** aids though. Not sure how he done it or any of that guff - just it's there, it works and I'm happy.
Arrh well I've only recently bought the car. When the wheel was off there's no obvious acoustic valve (quite a bit of space, dual tone horn etc).
There's no ABS so that could be it.
Hi guys,
Took my wheel off to clean it and the arch and apart from it being filthy (and worryingly oily) I found something unplugged. Can anyone identify it? Nothing to do with lights that I can tell.
The grey plug is part of that striped cable.
My (probably mis)conception of remoulds were they were cheap and substandard.
I'd give them a go, if a guinnie pig I'd expect it free though.
I actually thought they were now illegal lol
Not the original wheels but these are more of a gloss.
Be aware that after a mile you'll be able to run a clean finger line through them and they look pretty s**t unless clean. And they don't stay clean.
I washed them, and moved it 30 feet. It then rained, car didn't move for 3 days. I...
Hey guys,
About to take my wheels off and give them a much needed clean and seal.
Apart from the wheels I'm going to clean as much in the arch as I can. The coilovers are pretty dirty and I was wondering the best way to clean them and if anything is needed to put/spray on them after.
I was...
Hi guys, I've put a few miles on the 182 since I've bought it and am enjoying it. As usual you want to fix as much as you can when you buy.
On the computer the only thing not working is the range left in tank thing. It shows up but has blank lines not showing a number (_ _ _).
Anything I...
When I buy a car I clay it (have used Megs QD clay with good results). Then about 2-3 times a year (when needed) I'll clay it again and spend a few days stripping/prepping/polishing/sealing or waxing.
I need something to clean hard deposits on my (white) wheels but I don't think I'd use hot...
You get swirl marks primarily from the washing stage.
Ditch the sponge, get two buckets (preferably with a grit guard) and a lamb/sheeps wool mitt.
Then read some on here/detailing world etc
Weird. After sitting in the drive for a few minutes suffering the lumps, I heard a little click (sounded like around the glove box) and it was fine thereafter. Not sure if related.
I didn't fit the DC5s they were in when I bought it. Apparently they were a bit of a pain in the ass. They're not cheap either, especially in blue (if you can find them).
Hi guys,
I'm trying to work out the cause of this cold start issue I've got. First a little about the car so you know what's what.
Car started out as a 1.2 but has had a good conversion to a 182. Power steering, AC, TC and all those things have been removed. The engine, manifold and ECU are...
