Happened in my Fiesta Zetec-S, happened in my 182 and it happened on my M roadster today - so it does indeed occur on rear wheel drive :)

So basically the entire car? Edit: Clio on this page http://www.topgear.com/content/features/stories/2005/11/stories/01/8.html

I challenge you to make it 4WD, or rear wheel drive - that'll shave some time off the quarter mile ;)

I've seen a couple around west calder / livingston, but i don't think they're on here.

I appreciate people getting annoyed, driving can be frustrating; but threatening someone via a club forum is just utterly lame.

Typically Black looks dirty very quickly and Silver looks the same clean or dirty ;). However, a well washed/polished black gold 182 looks gorgeous. The cob web effects you refer to are swirl marks I presume? Just make sure you use a lambswool mit and don't take it through a car wash!

Parked just outside Chicago Rock at about 9:15pm? Think I heard that prospeed sparking up, sounded great!

Get a nice loud rumble Prospeed, that'll sort you out ;) Here's mine (thanks Mike!):

I guess it depends on the car, a stupidly loud exhaust on a clio/corsa/saxo/fiesta will always (in my opinion) give the impression to people of chav. :)

Good exhaust, sounds just a touch louder than standard, looks better; ideal if you're in the market for stainless steel but nothing chavtastic.

Deffo sounds like major clutch slippage

what sort of spec is that car? looks el rapido

*pats his Z3 M Roadster* :D

What sort of power? 255 bhp -> ~295 bhp? Sounds like it could be an immense car!

I fixed my passenger footwell rattle, there is a wiring loom bound in "crinkley" tape that rubs against the kick panel in the footwell and it sounds like a contant rattle. I put a bit of foam in there and it did the trick.

I had a look today at the base model, my thoughts are: Much better driving position! At last!! (you can tell you sit lower) Small steering wheel right where I want it. Pedals perfect place and distance travel. Much more room in the back, can realisticly get four people in it without...

I take it you're having a laugh... ;)

Looks mint.

I have to agree here; our pot holed, badly maintained roads are a far cry from the billiard table smooth tracks. I remember Autocar had a test where the 182 Cup was quicker than a standard Impreza WRX by a second or do. Well, I test drove a WRX recently and whilst it was utterly boring to...

Rubbish, of course they can be adjusted. As follows:

This is for up/down: I think this is left/right, but you'll need to try it as i didn't adjust it.

The xenon headlights can be adjusted manually - why don't you try this first instead of getting fleeced at the dealers?

Where do you stay POW? I'm around those parts.

Sounds like the infamous coolant temp sensor problem, my 182 exhibited a power loss like this. It was replaced under warranty.

Some of you may recognise the car as miketheman2k's old car; what can i say, this is an incredible monster of a car, performance is amazing and the sound pant wetting. Insurance was no change over the 182, but running costs/servicing is going to be a bit of a sting. Still, i do a low mileage...

Nah it does it for a fair few miles, it depends on how you drive it. I wouldn't worry about it.

How old is it? Mine had a new mechanical "clutch" smell for about a month after I got it, but went after that.

All, I need to put my standard radio back in, but don't have the radio code. Someone on here used to be able to get the code from the chassis number - is this still possible? Thanks

Looking good gents! Sorry i couldn't make it, I was just going to bed at 7:30am that morning after quite a serious sesh.

This post smells fishy.
