Possibly a faulty abs sensor? Take it to a local garage and get them to plug it into the diagnostics. I think they can read any previous codes the car has spat up. The serv light comes on whenever there is a fault along with the relevant lights in your car abs and esp, as they both are brake...

Yeah it says the belts have been done. Were done last Aug time iirc

LOL. Owned tbh

Lol. Not as brave as when i work on the Washington Road Estate/Exeter Drive. We were there one day, both me and the bloke i work with said its grim round here...wouldnt like to be here when the sun goes down. Flick the local radio on the next day and there had been a police armed standoff lmao...

Good luck with it anyway Boosh. I work all over the show tbh mate, wherever theres a council house...im there. Some of the areas that spring to mind are Upperthorpe, The Manor Estate (lol), Stocksbridge. Is the hospital near the uni? I know the uni area very well lol aka....the rat run!!!

Lol i knew as soon as i read "while april" you were from Sheffield. Ive never heard that said until i started working in Sheff a couple of months ago. I work 8 till 4, however most people in sheff seem to work "9 while 5" ;) Where abouts in sheff you from mate?

I'm happy with my 182 although a little miffed that when i did an insurance quote on a ph1 172 the other day it came out £150 cheaper than my 182's insurance :S

By faults i meant the mystery steering problem that isnt tracking. Tyres etc arent the end of the world they can easily be replaced.

If theres receipts to backup the service history then id treat them as good as, if not better than just stamps in the service book.

I think its very overpriced considering it has known faults tbh. Dont think id want to pay more than £2k for that whether its a rare colour or not.

Exhaust rubbers are £9 each (£18 as you need two) from CESUK - http://www.cesuk.com/ If you use the quote link on their website they will email you with a price for the mounts or i would imagine you can order by phone as well. Where about is Sheffield you from mate? I work for Kier, and...

^ cheers guys. Just been and bought some nitrmors mainly because it was £4 vs £15 for a heatgun which ill never use again. Ill take the inlets off tomorrow after work and have a play i think. It's snowing heavily here atm and whilst the car is in the garage its a phychological thing known as i...

lol already got 2 roles of tape. got quite a bit of detailing stuff but most of it is hand polish related.

Lol think he needs new exhaust mounts tbh. Looks like theyre sagging pretty badly. Car looks great mate. What polishes did you use?

Hi Guys, Would i be ok to use a heatgun on my inlets to remove the paint from around the Renault sport writing or am i best removing the inlets and using some nitromorse? Thanks, russ

I can afford the megs polisher however im just struggling to justify an extra 50%/£60 on it, unfortunately not many people seem to have tried the kestral kit yet to see how it compares to the megs kit. Decisions decisions lol

^ You did well with the improvements there. Im just wondering how these two kits compare - http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Kestrel_DAS-6_Sonus_Kit_1.html http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing/polishing-machine/kestrel-dual-action-polisher-menzerna-kit/prod_522.html

Tbh there isnt alot of swirls as the car just a few. As much as anything i want to achieve a nice deep shine to the car. Might practise on my mums astra....less than 12months old, black paint and swirled like mad due to the use of hand car washes. tut tut

The CYC kit looks good. Ive heard very mixed reports on the megs polishes. As to what results they give. How do Menzerna polishes rate? I have some swirling to remove and want to bring the car to a real deep shine. I have some Dodo juice wax, would the car benefit from applying this using the...

Hi, I'm looking into getting a Kestrel DAS-6. Does anyone have any experience with them? Would i be best buying one of the kits which includes polishes and pads or buying a polisher and all separate products? It will be my first time using a DA. Would someone be kind enough to spec me a...

How do "WEITEC" compare to the likes of H&R and AST?

182's come in a similar colour called arctic blue. type r driver, im sure i remember when you first got the car you said you werent going to swap the exhaust or bumper? lol

^ yeah as said above. tape or if you can lay your hands on some connector blocks then thats a bit better really just try make it so the cables cant fall into the door or else youll have to try and fish them out of there as well lol

Id go an buy a new mirror switch from the scrappy...cut the cable on it as long as possible. Theres plenty of slack on that so what id do is cut the cable on your old switch as close to first bit of undamaged cable as possible and use some thru crimps to crimp the new switch onto your wiring...

Very good point Paul. TBH if your quick whitted enough then you can talk your way out of most of lifes obsticles

i guess if your cars been mot'd then they can work out the mileage pro rata using the mot mileage and number of months since the mot took place. it will be obvious if your doing alot more miles than you claim...having said that its only an estimate you give.

^ Shall be eagerly awaiting the results of these mate. Sounds like your very much onto a winner to me.

Lol come on Icarus have a guess at bhp/torque figures. Any likelyhood of touching the magic 200bhp?

Yup, remap is your best option tbh. Should break the 100bhp mark with a map and normally makes your fuel consumption even better as well. Win/win tbh

thats one sexy astra gsi. any interior piccies?
