Especially when its 8 years old!

Looks nice. Turinis make it IMO.

Have you had a good look through the service book? As in mine the belts / auxiliary belt stamps are a few pages after the regular service stamps in a section of their own

Would have thought you would get at least a grand. If it was me i would only consider breaking it if I couldn't get more than £800 for it.

Sell it cheap, can you really be arsed with the hassle of breaking it?

Sorry. I am with the masses though and think the OP is a bit of a moron for buying an 8 year old hot hatch and not expecting to have to spend any money at all on it just because only done 52K To me low mileage on an old car doesn't normally equal easy motorway cruising so id expect steering /...

Who cares? Imprezza (yawn)

Thats really unlucky. Unfortunately its looking like another £400, or more if you have new cambelt again. Would have thought someone would have advised / mentioned to you about having it done as it seems to be getting quite common now.

Beat me to it. My old 306 HDI was usually blowing hot air within 5 minutes so i see no reason why your van shouldnt be unless the the thermostats stuck open. The thermostat was knackered in my S3 and that took over 15 minutes to start blowing hot air.

I think it should be a fail but I bet a lot of places don't pick up on it. They do look shocking on the 182's! My old S3's washers were nice little blanking plates that popped up from out of the bumper.

You washed your mum with car products?

Not knowing the finer points of auto-electric installation I'd re-wrap them with some insulation tape and leave them / try and tuck them away. Your car though.

Sell it and get a ford/Subaru then.

+1 sounds cheap enough to me. Least you've got piece of mind paying to get the belts done yourself. I think you would be lucky to get much better for that money. That said the missing washer jets would be a concern to me.

No. If its your exhaust you might be a little down on power / fuel consumtion may be slightly up, but i didnt really notice much difference after replacing the gasket.

TBH those are the only bits that are worth any cash. IMO you might get slightly more for breaking it but its a hassle and will take you longer to get the money. Best thing to do would be to put it back to standard and sell it, then sell the other bits. That assuming you've got the original parts.

I'm pretty sure I don't have those wires on my 182 so it could well be an after market alarm or something like that. If they arent causing any problems i would wrap them up well in insulation tape. As above dont steam clean / pressure wash it as the water normally finds its way into the...

I wasn't being nasty. I just said IMO the car would look better without the wheels and stickers. Its your car though so do whatever makes you happy.

I think people were making comments because of the wheels and stickers. Not my cup of tea but long as your pleased with it. Probably will be more thirsty than a 1.6 fiesta but worth it IMO. what are your plans are you leaving as is? Would look much better without the stickers and on some...

Nice clio.

WHITE!

I love it on those wheels the gold really complements the petrol blue! Not normally a fan of petrol blue but that looks awesome!

Wouldnt get the xenon look bulbs TBH they are white but i found them to be very dim. Osram nightbreaker seem to be highly recommended on here. As above id stay clear of HID kits.

The 172 cups go for more money now despite being cheaper when new.

About £25. I had this whistle and a new cat fitting kit fixed it.

Yes supply and demand. No one seems to want a silver one .

I'm guessing because they are cheaper and easier to find in RB? Nice analogy though ;)

I'd just get a dead cheap car if you feel like that mate. Something that doesnt cost you much to buy or run. Pretty sure my 306 HDI used to run on fresh air :)

Have you even had the logbook back yet?

+1 TBH. Chav's aren't sensible. They buy a fast car, pay thousands to insure it & modify it badly with cheap coilovers and HID headlights then usually crash it because they can't drive properly. TBQFH i think 182's are well on their way to becoming the next saxo vts. Edit. Not saying your a...
