They are not the smoothest of engines at idle. My old one which was a really good strong engine would sit at idle and judder the car a bit.
Make sure the belts have been replaced on them (both cambelt and auxillary belt), check the alarm works, lights can come on the dash when turning a...
Saw a silver 182 today in Bridgnorth about 3.45pm coming out near the Severn Valley Railway.
Thought I saw it earlier coming from Telford way.
Anyone off here?
I'm selling those wheels this weekend though, std wheels are back on at the moment. Ride is a lot better (comfier) and seems to handle just as well if not better.
It wasn't me either that played with it. Strange how it was completely different to how it left when I had the work done.
Good news its working propper now mate. Would love to see it again.
Would be good to see how it performs against my new motor....
Took a select few photo's from Sunday at Santa Pod.
This thing nearly lost control and at one point I thought it was going to come belting into the crowd at launch.
Didn't see this run but was VERY impressed with the amount of work that's gone into this...
Also spotted these...
So who was at RWYB?
I saw 2 mk2 172's, a trophy and about 2-3 williams.
One i'm sure I recognise off here, completely stripped out with plastic windows and a little slide open window.
Everyone bangs on about v6's. After having owned one I can say i'd rather have something like a cup. They are as quick really and handle a lot better, are cheaper and less things to go wrong on them.
v6 has a wow factor because it has a mid-engine it's sound and looks stylish. The majority of...
Yes but it was never really designed that way which was my point with the convertibles.
Plus the v6 is not really streets ahead of 172/182 performance.
I agree with the above and would also say a v6 clio is a sporty hatch as it was never originally designed to have a mid mounted engine or rear wheel drive. It's like that review they did on topgear once about buying convertibles. Most of the cars that they would actually buy which was a...
Was your exhaust really noisy? I wonder if an annoyed neighbour or something robbed your exhaust because they were pissed off about it being too loud maybe?
Then again, a car without a backbox is going to be even noisier so they can't win.
Gutted for you anyway mate. It's certainly the...
Oh and i'm not sure whether to go for 5w-40 or 10w-50 in the winter. My car is running approx 300bhp and ideally I need to change the oil every 4k miles.
