I came from a z4 on run flats which was just horrific so wanted to try a comfy car. More than happy with the ride, but arch gaps are a little large! Mpg wise I can get 37mpg max on a mway journey... M6, lots of 50 limits and no right foot fun. And yeah town is bad, mid 20s. As others have said...

^ just realised that undersells the driving aspect of the 265...i do enjoy it, just not as raw as the 182 - although that had exhaust, map and suspension mods.

I've got a 265 and do a pretty much identical commute, get around 30mpg. I love it, doesn't have cup suspension and 19's though as I wanted a little more comfort. I had more fun (also keen on a Friday blast home) in my old 182 though as the speed in the 265 is a little more effortless, so you...

Yeah that's what I thought too, I reckon I can get hold of a set of tap- Cheers!

Hi All, Following a run-in with a pot hole I have recently bought a replacement alloy (mk2 dynamique, the 'swirly' one, not the 15" version of the 172 alloy) from RenParts (would definitely recommend them). However when I have gone to put the plastic centre cover back on the bolt seems to be...

I've discovered this problem too, how would I go about checking the drain tubes?

Probably nothing, but if I remember correctly, there are a few gromits in the footwell/bulkhead..maybe they aren't there? i.e. letting cold air in when your driving? Shouldn't contribute too much, but I guess it could be worth 30seconds to check?

someone must know something?

Hi, Just saw this car advertised and has a cs sticker on the rear window... anyones? If so, whats the history? Thanks

I strangely quite like that, I think a deep blue would've looked awesome though

^ You would say this ( I was just about to link you to this thread lol)

Should've said, I've checked its not the boot switch because my interior light is coming on too, which doesn't happen when the boot is open. I've had a play with the door switches just now and it could possibly be one of those, i'll have a proper play in the daylight tomorrow night. Cheers Guys

Mine's doing this now.....did you get anywhere with it??

Agree with the wheel off method-Surprising amount of room if you use it wisely- I had 3 mountain bike in the back of mine today.

to clear up a potentially confusing point... When I said "it will turn over but not fire", I meant it will crank but not turn over

Hi, My car won't start, it will turn over but not fire. I've tried jump starting...this did nothing (so rules out battery issues I think) When I push start it it starts fine, and will then restart when warm. (this rules out starter motor?) Also the exhaust gas warning light has come...

If its only the sound that's making you change, you could look at a cheap pair of laptop/pc speakers that can plug in to the headphone socket of the tv. I have this set up (just because the speakers are on my desk anyway) and it works well.

Ok, Cheers guys.

So these would just be 182s with both cup packs then? So what's the difference between say a cup packed RB and a cup RB? (obviously apart from the leather and xenons) Thanks

Hi, Im looking at getting a 182 in the next few months. I thought the 182 'Cups' i.e. the RB and Infernos didn't come with xenons and leather. But I have seen a few that do. Were they optional extras that the original buyer has simply added at the factory or will it generally mean that...

hi, Looked at a 182 today, it showed "---h" on the board diagnostic tool (the one where you press the indicator stalk whilst turning the key) Can anybody shed some light please? Thanks

Typical, ages of trying and when i ask for help i do it. Feel free to delete this thread please mods

Respraying a cup spoiler at the moment. How do I get the little black washer jet out? is there a specific way or jus pull and hope? Really dont want to break it. Thanks in advance

get eibach prolines/sportlines. Iv got prolines on mine and i like them. Only cost £80 second hand too

although if you have very big hands u may find it a little small....i dont so its fine.

Thats the exact mouse i have. Works very well, i can use mine 2m+ away from laptop (im lazy and stream my laptop through my tv). Good for CAD work too, scrollwheel is very tactile. Seems to be ok on battery life too, a decent AA will last months. (not the like the tesco value ones iv got in at...

ive put up a spotted thread before for this car and i didnt get anything back, so i guess not!

I personally wouldnt do it that way (although that is probably down to limited experience). I would model all the bars etc individually and then assemble them, then assemble the connectors onto it. THEN the BOM should automatically update. However, I have had little experience with the BOM...

yeah its very much a mechanical engineering package. you can do animation, FE analysis, and use it to import into other programs (ansys for one) (altho im guessin u can do this with other modelling software, e.g. catia) What do you need it for Nigel?

Ive used autodesk inventor for nearly 3 yrs (at uni and in industry)...altho i dont know half as much as some people. I know the basics, ask away.....
