Whats the general consensis on this ? Went for some oil this morning and the only 5w40 I could find was their own brand stuff, seem to remember reading somewhere that its about the lowest quality of oil you could sell but I can't remember where so might have imagined it. Didn't get any but was...

Clutch started slipping last week if you put ANY pressure on the clutch pedal and I mean if you even tapped it it slipped. Wasn't going to do anything about it until it started properly slipping and on wednesday it did :dapprove:, took a 100 mile run to doncaster and that seemed to finish it...

I'm looking to paint my calipers silver just because I fancy it really, only problem is that i'm not 100% which paint to use. Went and had a look down the local halfrauds and they've got hammerite silver smooth which I think people have used previously and their own caliper paint which is about...

Think it was you ?, heading down lutterworth road towards the spar in Nuneaton about 14:30, was in the black mk2 ph2 going the other way towards town. Would have given you a flash but I was on another planet, didn't realise until you'd gone past.

Right i'm not bothered about the fact that it'll make little to no braking difference i'm just interested in what you would need to do it ? No plans as of yet but depends on the feasability of it as to whether some are made.

Standard Engine Bay : Right ever since getting the car I noticed that as the air filter is at the back of the engine then the plenum on the side of the engine is only there for noise damping, a quick drive with the plenum removed confirmed this as a mucho cool noise was produced :). The...

I know a few people are insured with nu and it looks like i'm going with them as there coming back with the cheapest quotes bar the RAC but they only cover cosmetic mods so there off the agenda. Was wondering how much people were paying for the mods on their car with them ? Would ring up but...

Anybody used them for alloy repair?, got me a set of mk2 ph3 alloys last week and they've got a few minor scrapes on them I wouldn't mind sorting as long as it doesn't cost the earth. Just wondering if anyones used them and how the found them generally and the quality or the job and price ?

I've having a issue with my 1.6 at the moment, 9.9/10 times I start it it doesn't run the high idle and when I change gear the revs drop off practically instantly and I'm having to blip it when I change gear to keep the changes smooth although it doesn't stall. Though every once an again when I...

Spotted turning out of gipsy lane towards the A444 griff roundabout for anyone that knows it. Was an 04 Petrol Blue 182, looked stunning, so did the nice lady driving it :D. Don't usually bother with spotted threads but seeing as how many petrol blue 182s there are around I thought it was worth...

Right, i'm quickly coming up to having 1 year ncb and i'm itching for something a bit quicker. I'm basically looking at something around a 1.6 and not above group 10, so basically a warm hatch. Would ideally get a 182 but insurance is a killer so it will have to wait. As of now i'm completely...

Is there anyway to remove the glovebox in a mk2 ph2, its looks like its part of the lower dash but I thought I'd ask first just to make sure theres no way of getting it out seperately ? I'm changing my amp power cable from 8awg to 4awg tomorrow and I was wondering if theres an easier way of...

Right, i'm after some springs want them to lower a little bit ~30mm, but i'm mainly after them for better handling than standard. Been looking myself and have come up with the eibach sportlines, they seem to do everything i'm after. Only thing is i've never looked into anything like this so i'm...

Managed to get some 172 handles of ebay but unknown to me there are two different types, the type that use rods and the type that uses cables for the door mechanism. Anyway the handles i've got are the rod type and my clio uses the cable type :( (should of checked first really but just assumed)...
