Is it removable?

3 screws iirc, jack it up and get underneath, don't forget to get another jack on the zorst before you remove it though.

£4.19 for that!? HA! You must have a local motor factors surely that will no doubt sell them cheaper?

Take it to a bodyshop ftw, cost me £50 to fit my cat back, cut a recess in the bumper including fitting and painting the surround. Unless you feel competent to do it I wouldn't even attempt it.

Piece of cake to fit, yeah, March 3rd when insurance renewal comes round.

Was expecting a lot worse tbh but it's definitely not DUB.

Cheers Rob hows the low 1.2 coming along?

A little deeper than standard but to be fair it's difficult to notice due to the noise out of the other end. :)

Thanks Paul, my insurance is up on March 3rd so I'll be shopping for one then, could get one now but would be daft giving up my ncb for this year. Also gives me time to shop for some goodies in the meantime. :) Yeah it is, no ill effects though.

I go Morrisons actually and I certainly don't open my bonnet when I get there. I bought it off a local member for cheap to fit to the 172, but seing as it fits both I may aswell fit it rather than have it laying around.

Fitted this morning, decided to leave the compbrake top mounts as I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of dropping the struts, they won't go to waste though, I'll keep em for the 172. In case anyone is wondering it is purely cosmetic, simply screwed in.

Feel free to quote us happy..?

I think these are circa £25 now, was when I bought one a month or two back. That's for one aswell.

Just get a custom one made up to fill the cutouts on the bumper, most 182 owners get bigger tailpipes anyway, standard ones look like pea shooters.

Nice one Fred.

You'll get used to it, don't worry.

Could do it yourself couldn't you Tom? Just stick your head down the back of the engine and look for any suspect wires, can't be that difficult on a 1.2.

You are silly if you don't check the oil level on the dipstick and think everything is fine just because it says so on the dash.

Nice one, I'll be in the same boat early next year, can't wait. :) What have you upgraded from?

I've had mine changed about three times this year without changing the washer and it's been fine.

These better than yozza?

I'd stick to what's recommended tbh Jon. Doubt there will be any advantages of using different oil anyway.

Usually they just rev the car at 3k rpm for 5 minutes and then re-test. If it still fails then YOU should floor it down the motorway to clear it out. If it fails after that then you have a problem.

Not keen on the wheels but the colour looks okay, tyres need dressing though. 16's would have been better.

Sad to see it go Paul, this is a big surprise, I thought you had big plans for it. Best of luck with the new car.

Was expecting a lot more for that price.

That's bad news for you right there. Suppose it could happen to any of us.

Do you not have the function already?

Well said Revels, Home = FAIL imo. I go on it once every 3 months for about 5 minutes to check whats new.
