I dont think they will fit mate but i may be wrong, why do you wanna put the 182 brakes on your 1.4 mate ?.. Seems a lot of work for little gain imo, you'd be better off upgrading your discs with better pads tbh
I think for safe measures you may aswel replace it for the MOT as you'll get a lazy tester in one place then a hitler in another, But like Zippo said if it not cracked in your line of sight then you'll be ok to drive around,
I'd be careful though depending on how big the crack is it could...
I think it should be 3 clicks from memory,
Adjust the cable and if it dont sort it then you may need to replace the cable as it may be stretched due to use over the years
Hope that helps
No not really because when you sand you'll make the lense rough while sanding out the defects, You'll need a machine polisher to polish it back up to a good finish...
Have to agree... got my 197 used in mint condition with just under 10k on the clock a couple of months ago and i paid just under 10k for it.. Baragin imo
Croydon you say JD...
Seeing some of your cleaning threads and the outcomes damn fine mate..
when your down next bring your bucke and wash mit and you can give mine the once over pmsl...
You know it makes sense
Yeah i live in the "Ghetto" Croydon but moving to lovely Biggin hill in 2 months, I wouldnt say im at the O2 often but im a controller so i have a bus route ( 188 ) that goes to the dome so i control that or go there if there are major issues.. Last night was just unfortunate pmsl... Coulda...
Lol dude i wasnt in my car i was sitting at the side of the road enjoying the scenery pmsl... the 197 was at the depot... I waited there until 3:30am when a tow truck came and unlucky for me he got the bus working so i had to drive the bus back to the depot !!!
Yeah Stevie i was waiting on a broken down bus just before the roundabout doing overtime as the bus driver would have breached his driving hours... Still cant beat 4hrs O/T doing F' all lol...
Im a controller and had just finished when they asked me to go down there and wait.. Cant complain...
Spotted you heading up towards the dome just before 1am driving on your own then saw you drive back down Millenium way towards the roundabout at 01:10am with a young lady !
I was sitting at the side of the road with a broken down double decker waiting for a tow truck !
Could not see a CS...
That should be ready then mate... If they worked on it properly they could have it done in a day or so max but then garages dont exactly push to get customers cars fixed.. you should be fine thouch touch wood... Oh and dont do what i did when i got mine back..... That is enjoy it ! i felt as if...
Yeah once the valves had been seated and new belts have been fitted etc and its all been timed correctly then it will run no prob mate.. I know its worrying but trust me it'll be ok lol
they didnt want to attemp to rebuild it as RUK were saying as it was only a year old and with such low mileage it would be in their best interests to slap a new lump in for piece of mind... Car never felt the same after though :(
Was glad to chop it in this year and get my 197... Much better...
Cambelt snapped at 20k, Done 16 valves and wrecked 2 pistons... Bent the rods too so they say, But due to the car only being a year old (04) they put a spanking new lump in.. 6 weeks total repair time.. Well most of that was shipping the new engine to be fair but was anxious times
Yeah then defo a day or two mate... Anxious times isnt it.. I waited 6 weeks in total for my 182 when it went pop... They told me it would only take a week so you can imagine how i felt every other day when they pushed it further back lol.. Best day ever when i picked her up...
Depends on gearing too as obviously determines engine RPM.. When my belt snapped i was pulling away from lights and just got into second so was prob doing about 20mph @ say 3k rpm... Smashed every valve plus destroyed 2 piston crowns... Luckily under warranty though
+1 they generally click when reading writing but if the ticking is slow then usually means its fubarred.. On my XPS M1730 i had a raid failure but luckily it told me the HDD so i swapped that out
Either that or delete the RAID drive and re-stripe it then restore.. happend on mine and worked ever since.. Thats the prob with RAID set up's..
Sweet when working but can cause some serious issues when its goes pear shaped
