You gave me a #parp# as you went by, me in Williams. Saw you head off to Whiteley. Sounded nice and looked very tidy ^^

These were already there! Looked fine so I popped them back in. Not the same on Mk1's, so wasn't sure which way round to put back in but I checked the other side just to make sure :) Thanks everyone! I had really hoped not to be in a bit of a pickle at the moment but it looks very likely I...

Hehe no. It's standard, except for a Janspeed and simple lowering springs...my Williams is not standard however...^^

Chased after me a little as I headed to Tesco in my silver 182. Looked nice in my rear view :)

I actually saw two black ones one after the other, Segensworth and Park Gate just a day or two ago. I was in my Titanium 182 daily runner.

Hehe! Yep. I own a 182. It's a great car and I am impressed with the MPG too. I think I will give it a really good clean tomorrow and get some snaps whilst we have such great weather. Of course the Williams is more of an event to drive, but if I had spent as much time and money with the 182 as...

Yes, I did. I have a 21/23 double ended ring spanner, which if you unplug the connector and loop through the ring on the 23mm all the way to the sensor you can get the buggers off. I had to push one end of the ring spanner with my leg as my arm-power didn't cut it!

I've had a similar incident in my Williams and it was repaired fine. I got the whole rear section new from Renault and replaced the door. All sorted!

:D Thanks!

As an aside...I might have to sell the 182. I don't want too as using the Williams as a daily car when I get back to work will really suck. The thing is, now being unemployed, I have to ensure the mortgage is paid. When I bought it the car was perhaps a £1600/1700 car, but with all the major...

So...not had an update in a while but that's not because I've not been working on cars at all. Quite the contrary! The 182 needed to get MOT'd, and with the sunny weather and me now unemployed, I turned my attention to a few jobs with it. Firstly, I wanted my reverse light to work, which was...

I enjoyed it. I know what to expect so I generally go every year but mainly to see friends from all over the UK and abroad. I like showing off the Williams as well, even though it's is not perfect by any means it gives some newer people something to look at and maybe even aspire too. The drive...

I have a Williams 1 and a 182 now as a daily car! The Williams gets comments everytime I take it out and lately I've come out of shops to have people either taking pictures or having a look inside hehe. It's also mad as a sack of badgers both on road and track hoho. The best thing I ever did...

I heard from a guy we met on the way back from FCS there was a bad crash for some guy in a BMW?

Ye! Thanks :D The Williams came with me to FCS today, where it sat looking good, come rain or shine, next to my mates V6: Fun fun :)

Main thing is your not too badly hurt. If it's just the side, that is repairable tbh.

So, French Car Show 2014 tomorrow. A burst of rain in the morning then sunshine. I had to clear up some issues with the Williams, I had a fuel line go bad and leak, so I replaced it...then the other went as well in the same place!! So I got a bunch more braided hose. The stuff is a PITA when...

Me too! It's like having wood, except cooler :D

Yep! TTV indeed well spotted :) The springs are shorter and they are not particularly firmer than OEM so it could be bottoming out...no biggie as I will replace them fairly soon anyway and I actually quite like the roll rather than mental stiffness like my Williams...the Willy has to be really...

So, no replies! I am shocked. More goodness:

Various pieces arrived in the post for the Clio 182 since my last post. I had to get the car MOT'd as well. Sadly the car failed on a very bad blowing exhaust, a broken front spring and the pins that hold the rear pads in not fitted. There was also an advisory on the inner track rods, which can...

Haha! yes, out in Maidstone and I might be again tomorrow too! I like doing things the hard way, and now I know how to use a multimeter, I don't mind doing electrical checks like this :p

Noooo!!! Sold it huh? Well, mine started off feeling a bit slow but after the work I've done so far...read below for a new assessment.

It is on the drivers suspension turret. Very easy to remove. 16mm bolt is all that holds it on I think.

Typically, having now tested the MAP sensor plug and loom all the way back the the ECU plug I cannot find any issue with it! Multimeter test showed no problem from the pins of the MAP sensor blug to the feed to the ECU at all...so perhaps I've just been really unlucky and had two bad MAP...

Quite low then! Interesting. Thanks.

The MAP sensor is under the plastic engine cover, to the left on the oil filler cap. It's a rectangular shape, with a grey/black plug going into it. They are quite cheap to replace, but first try pulling the plug off and starting the car and go for a drive. Ignore the error messages on the dash.
