Hi, Started on my amp install this afternoon. Ive decided id like to put a wooden panel at the side of the boot and have the amp mounted on the back of it so that it is hidden. So far ive cut out a panel to the size required - It does fit better than it looks, when the panel is pushed back...

Hi, Can anyone tell me the size of the bolts marked with arrows in the pic? I presume its something i should be able to get off the shelf somewhere or do they need to be high temperature? As you can see one is missing...well it snapped lol. Thanks, Russ

Wow... Never seen that before, reset the trip computer just before pulling out onto a national speed limit road...hammering it through 1st, 2nd and 3rd....at one point i saw a figure as low as 8.2mpg although i must stress it was hard to keep it that low i didn't imagine the 182 using anywhere...

As per title. Interested to see what people have done to their Artic 182's. Thanks, Russ

Hi guys, Washed the 182 earlier and noticed how badly scratched the tips of the standard exhaust are, as well as being stained black in parts i presume from the exhaust gases. Whats the best way (by hand) to clean the black of and remove the scratches? Thanks, Russ

Anyone have one/had one? Opinions on them? Im considering one for the 182 as my boot is quite often full of tools for work so a run of the mill sub isnt really practical for me. Thanks, Russ

Hi Guys, Recently been having a bit of grief with my exhaust on my 182 around a clamp which joins the centre pipe to the back box. I think that this has been fitted as the exhaust has been blowing at somepoint. Am i right in thinking when out of the factory the centre pipe/back box is one...

Hi guys, Just been out to change the rear mounts on my exhaust. While doing them i noticed that around a joint in the exhaust were the centre pipe has been replaced it was very black. Started the car up and sure enough i could feel the exhaust blowing through it (not very noisy but can feel...

Is this fairly normal? My expansion tank has gone from just under full when i got the car in Feb to just above empty now. Am i ok just to top such a small amount up with water or do i need to use proper coolant from Renault? Thanks, Russ

Just found this on Ford ST Owners Club...Figure it would be rude for us to not make use of it :)

Anyone?

Hi Guys, Ive decided i want my bullets on the side of my 182 painting, im going to go for anthracite with silver lettering. The question is do i have my 2.0 16v badges done, or the dci badges that i bought a while back? Lets hear your opinions.... edit - could a mod add a pole for me please?

I seem to be making an awful lot of threads this afternoon. But hey-ho. I'm considering getting a machine polisher. Can anyone recomend one in particular? Also which products/pads would i be best starting off with? I have some swirl marks that need correcting and a few light scratches on the...

Hi guys, These have been bugging me as long as ive had the car. Not sure if theyre stone chips or just baked on crap. They are in front of the rear wheel. Any suggestions?

Hi guys, Recently scraped my 182's front bumper, Middo recomended me Dave Hemmings from Chipsaway so i gave the guy a bell, he gave me a price, we booked a date....He came today and what a great job hes done. Really pleased with his work and would recomend him to anyone in Staffordshire who...

Hi, Anyone know the colourcode for Artic Blue? Thanks, Russ

Well dude...ive got a few little things to say to you. 1. Get your damn drivers side headlight alligned properly, its bloody blinding. 2. Was there any need to be swerving around behind me like a bell end in a 30? 3. That really was the wrong road for you to give me grief on once it went...

Is one needed or can you do the same as on the 1.2 and use a long socket on extension bar to undo the spark plug and pull it out using the HT lead? If i need a spark plug removal tool what size do i need? I dont want to buy new plugs yet as i want to remove mine to check what make they are as...

Saw 2 of you both on the road out of penkridge around 7.30 heading towards the m6 round about. Then saw one of you again later in penkridge town about 10.30 as i was on my way towards the m6 lol. Think one of the cars was a valver but not 100% Both were slightly modded but looked nice :)

Hi guys, Recently had my 182 serviced, at the service the garage told me the spark plugs were on their last legs and had changed them. Ever since ive had the car back when cold its running like a bag of spanners, gets to just under 3000rpm and looses all power, its like the engine has put a...

Hi guys & girls, Ive recently bought these badges and when they arrived, on one of the badges 2 of the 3 clips are broken (to the point its almost smooth were the clips used to be) Anyone have any suggestions on how i could still make use of these badges? Ive circled the broken clips in red...
