The cheaper belt changes were part of what attracted me to a cup in the first place! Im the same as you,I rarely use the aircon in my other cars so not having it doesn't really bother me.

I feel like the poor relation with you two having the optional climate! A week or so after I bought the car I bought a skoda splitter as mine had been smashed off at some point by the previous owner and I couldn't face paying the amount Renault remove from your wallet for one.Due to my laziness...

Can go wrong for £700 mate,even with the cost of the belts & dephaser doing its still very cheap for a fun little car.

Cheers mate,who's is the other one? I knew yours was knocking about as it was on ebay just after I bought mine.

Since having the dephaser/belts changed at the weekend the car has been running lots smoother especially from cold where its a lot less rough.It also feels a bit quicker at high revs as well but it could just be the placebo effect! Still a few jobs to be done though & I have been getting an...

Looks very tidy,like my cars higher spec brother! I even mave a matching "mongo dent" on the bonnet. Cheers Ross.

Pretty sure the current prices reflect this as it was a while ago the price dropped.

Very nice!Make sure to report back once you have done a few miles,be interested to hear the results. Cheers Ross.

I had this one an l200 tailgate I had sprayed,bodyshop put it down to moisture in the primer. Cheers Ross.

Just looked on demon thieves and your right,last time I looked (couple of years back now) everywhere sold the kevlar/carbon and the grp revolutions but nobody listed the carbon fibre version although the revenge was available in carbon.Maybe a shortage from Corbeau at the time or something...

My last set of buckets were carbon fibre corbeau revolutions.They were pretty expensive but very comfortable for a fixed bucket.Im not sure they still make the carbon fibre ones anymore but its the same shell for the carbon/kevlar & grp ones anyway I think.Only niggle for me was that im right in...

Had a good day with the car today,spent the morning with a local forum member who knows what he's doing and had the following work done; Timing belt kit fitted New dephaser pulley New crank pulley bolt fitted Rocker cover removed and re-sealed Oil & filter change The service book showed the...

My solution would be to countersink the bolts into the throttle spindle (have also read the Vizard book but cant for the life of me remember what the bolt mods were). Cheers Ross.

Spotted an 04 plate arctic blue 182 this morning parked up at a sandwhich van on the A1 near Cramlington. Then spotted the same liquid yellow 182 I seem to see every week near the golf course in Morpeth around lunch time. Shortly afterwards I spotted a black 182 heading north on the A1 near...

Thats some turnaround,fair play to you it looks great!

Newby here,6 weeks or so.

As above,great work!How much does something like this cost? Cheers ross.

Looks like a tw*t to get in at,if the torx bit doesn't work a set of these could be your friend http://www.auntiesatticonline.co.uk/bergen-professional-5-piece-12-drive-bolt-extractor-kit-with-reverse-thread-8---16mm-ber2501-1169-p.asp. Basically a more substantial easy out which is a good thing...

If you want a genuine one the part no is 8200821816. Cheers Ross.

Took the boy to Edinburgh zoo for his birthday today and spotted a few on the way. First was a blue 172 cup on the Edinbrugh city bypass around lunchtime,was lowered on what looked to be aftermarket wheels and had silver stripes. Second also on the city bypass around 5 o'clock was an 11 reg...

Will be watching with interest for the results of the headlining.Exhaust looks like a work of art! Cheers Ross.

0 bids,funny that...........

Mines not really low but still low for its age to my mind,just gone over 51000. Cheers Ross.

Silver 02 plate 172 spotted this afternoon,pulling out onto the A695 near ryton and heading towards Prudhoe.Looked lowered and had a cup splitter,couldnt really see much else as it was pissing down! Cheers Ross.

In order. Grey megane 225 parked outside former vaux brewery in Sunderland around dinner time(also spotted this one earlier in the week). Silver 182 near Jackie Whites market in Sunderland just after lunchtime getting a parking ticket :( Black megane 225 heading from Blaydon towards the metro...

That looks great,love the way black cars look when they are spotless!

They seemed to be around the £25-30 mark when I was looking a couple of weeks ago.Most of the ones that have gone up on the forum since I joined have sold no problem so its worth a try. Cheers Ross.

Spotted in the last couple of days; Light blue 57 plate 197 near Exhibition Park in Newcastle yesterday afternoon. Blue megane 225 trophy near Bridges multistory carpark in Sunderland this morning. Another 225 just round the corner a couple of minutes later parked outside the former Vaux...

Yeah,the iceberg seems to change completely dependant on the light.Especially the wings,bumpers etc with them being plastic which often look a totally different colour in the evening/early morning. For the first couple of weeks I had the car I was convinced the light was playing tricks with the...

Thanks for the comments guys! :D The drivers door is the same colour as the rest of the car,must just be a trick of the light in the photos.Probably didnt help that my little lad had put finger prints all over the camera lens without me knowing!I will have to get some fresh pics sometime when...
