Tried raising them? More travel might help it?

Thought this would be the case, never had you down as a Coilover man. Not sure what V-maxx are like, compared to say the H&R's. The H&R's, are more supple than the billies for sure. On broken surfaces the billies seem more crashy, but took it for a squirt up to Bala the other day and they were...

This! Get what you pay for imo, why ruin one thing the cars good at? ;) I've had H&R's, very very good for day to day, now running some Bilstein B14, little firmer, but very good!

yes, fat fingers!

hmmm not sure on the above, dont think thats right! 172 cup have yellow and white markings on them.

172 Cup, best looking 172 - fact ;)

Pain in the hoop when reversing also!

Perfect as it is, leave it :)

182 without cup packs it says? 54mm without (same as a 172) 50 with cup packs. But as said, check yours as its easy for people to piss about the with wheels

54mm Be wise to check them though.

Bout £200 if not more! Check ebay, always some about!

Nice :) Just noticed (not being picky) that the Cup badge is too low on the door, should be about an inch higher

Post away! Messy gimmick imo!! The prewash i've linked does a much better job!

Would you not have to buy a lot of tyres to make it worth while? Whats a new set of 15's with tyres, £500? hmmm then again suppose its about 5 pe2's!

I'd love to see some pics of that!

No need for the lazyness tbh, maybe he's been entertaining mrs kev?

Dont think so? The esp/traction light will if its activated

This is what you want http://www.valetpro.co.uk/Products/Exterior-Cleaners/1110-/Orange-Pre-wash-5L Cheap pump spray from B&Q, done without the fuss!

Lovely :)

What do the 172 cups run? Could you not use that set up?

Tbh, i had one, and imo they are a bit of a gimick...... Used mine with a few good foams, and got the same results (not very good). Imo your better of with a prewash, then 2 bucket method etc.

Think so, whenever i'm in the passenger seat it always feels higher..... The vibration mounts are the black bits under the saet, you should be able to see if they are still there :)

Re: Diesel in a 182 Seems like a temprature problem to me, if its running fine when cold...... seem to remember early 182's having sensor issues?

Make sure the pollen filter isnt fekked, if its not changed regulary it can cause said symptoms Also lol at the reading fail in here, pouring water on the windscreen, the op's problem is INSIDE ;)

Re: Diesel in a 182 Temperature guage ok, when up to temp?

Not from what i've seen. I used to get 28 ish out of my 197, steve gets about the same out of his 200. Edit! Beaten to it!!!

No, obvious aint it?! :S If i was coming down, and was say running late, i'd alway give a call to let you know whats going on, i'm nice like that see ;)

Why would you not have a workshop phone? That must be a nightmare if you cant find the place/running late etc?

I've had a 197, got on arverage 27mpg....... Now got a 172 Cup, and get around 37. Think alot of the low mpg figures you get off guys on here is becaue they are mainly city cars. Most of my driving is A/B roads, and at least 20 miles at a time. I for certain dont nanny any of my cars. Once warm...
