My mate stacked his car the other day, said i'd have a look round it to see what needs repairing tomorrow. Anything specific that I should look at that i might not notice striaght away? Front end, I think it drives. Bumper off etc, slam panel fooked too. Any way to see if the engine would...

£16 for 2, or £16 each? Now just the rubber bit, the whole mount? Where did you get them from?!

I agree too, only reason for driving slow was i had an hour to lose, why drive there at 90mph and sit around bored, so just made the journey last longer.

Just changing too fast mate, the synchromesh needs a little more time to get to the right speed i think, so just got a bit steadier on the change, be smoother. My 182 does it.

Looks mint on the wheels! Clean them before you drop them off ;)

These completely brand new Paul? How much, i could do with some new ones sometimes soon.

Yeah 'cos i'm really going to come on here and lie about it...

I get 30mpg day to day in the 182, used to get about 45 in my 1.2. Most I got from the 1.2 way 56mpg on a similar run but didnt drop below 70mph.

Not lies, just careful driving! I'm guessing the lost weight helps but just drove nice and smoothly.

Just drove a 200 mile trip to York and back in my 182, averaging 50.4mpg on the way there and down to 48mpg on the way back because of a bit of traffic! Really shocked, needle still reading above half a tank left! Was driving slwly on the way there, about 60-65 as i left home an hour earlier...

Thanks mate thats mine :D Audit? You work for Royces then or external?

^ old man :)

Because it isnt cable throttle mate, ph2 172's/ 182's are the same. Only ph1 172s have a cable throttle i think.

Would have been me mate, on victory rd? You work there then?

I might be able to help paul ;)

I'm 19, 2NCB. On my own policy I pay £1800 for a modified 182 with Adrian Flux. Pretty reasonable I reckon.

That was an example ;) My wheels are 5-6kgs lighter on each corner!! Terry&Leanne, thats awesome, thanks :D

there was alink on a thread on here about the difference, think it was 2kgs loss in wheels (all round so 0.5kg per corner) works out to 5kgs loss of body weight. Not very good explanation like!

I know there was somehting upon here about how much weight lost directly from a wheel calculates to rotational loss......anyone got a link to it? Or an external link please?!

Nice one, 18 months for me and hopefully one will be on my drive :)

I just made a best offer of £0.99

Nice. How old are you mate? What insurance do you pay?

Re: HAS A CRASH THIS MORNING! You don't need to get a check-up that day, know this as a fact from experience. Also a non fault claim should not affect your policy, it doesnt reflect your driving. If it does kick off about it.

Not sure if that would make a difference, as they still, i assume, bolt onto the original shock bolt on the rear trailing arms? So should have an effect on this? Stupid as it sounds, maybe one wheel wasnt put on 100% right and tight, so could have had the bolts slightly loose and flared out...

Camber isnt adjustable on the rear without camber shims (basically slivers off metal that are angled) that sit behind the hub assembly somewhere, so something doesnt sound right there mate. Might have a slight different reading between sides but nothing that much surely?

You might find that it is catching elsewhere mate, I thought mine was the bracket, but turned out it was actually the archliner at the top of the arch, near where the turret goes up. Take your wheel off and see if you can see any wear marks on the plastic. Also, by grinding the bracket it is...

Nice, the blue 206, is it a mate of yours? I think its one my mate just sold, had RSL cults on it and huge spacers converting to 4x100? He sold them or a refurb job?

Haha, I know! I'm a trained Aeronautical Engineer too haha!

done! Thanks for the help! Killed my fingers and I got wet but at least they are on! See if they work when I finish tonight!

It's simpler than it sounds I think, basically you will unbolt your seat from underneath the car, this will remove the seat and subframe, so you will have clear floor underneath. The new subframe bolts in place of this using the same holes, then you would bolt the seat on top of that nice and...
