It's ixel 205 110. If you're touching up any scratches you'll still see where you've touched it up. Rover stone grey is very close. I had some made up quite a few years ago at a local paint supplier. They had to adjust it slightly as stone grey isn't an exact match. Or you could try Autopaint...

Ooops, lol

Spent £1300 on what lol? Why the f**k is it on 172 wheels, they're just ugly. I'd look elsewhere and wait for a better example.

The anti squeal shims are fitted as standard. Alot of people remove them but I always leave them in as they wouldn't have been fitted if they weren't needed. I usually just file a little bit off the pad backing plate so the pad moves freely. Job done.

You've already changed the usual suspects. I'd change the pre cat lambda sensor for a genuine Bosch one. I think Bosch recommend that they be changed every 90k miles. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303441549650

I've just paid £414 with Hastings Premier for my 182. Basically Hastings top cover through confused with a £20 Halfords voucher. Hastings renewal quote was £455. Shite post code 😢

Welcome to CS. Another 1 owner from new here, bought mine in Feb 2006 😊

It's " have" not "of ". Poor grammar as well as ignorance 🤔

Oh well. I guess you can't educate the ignorant 👍

I would never buy anything that's cheap and would compromise my saftey. Be it tyres or brakes. Ive been driving a 1*2 for 20 years and tried lots of different tyres. Some I've been happy with, some less happy. As I said in my last post the best tyres I've ever had are the Michelin PE2s which...

What's with all the " I'll try and find lots of negative things to say about Avon tyres"? The op wanted some recommendations for tyres. I gave my real life experience of Avon ZV7s. Ok. So they might not be the newest design or technology. But a good tyre back then is still a good tyre now imo...

And.....?

And.....?

Another vote for Avon ZV7s. Good grip in the wet and dry and last longer than some of the softer tyres and only 62 quid a tyre from Camskill. I've got a set on my 182 that have lasted 12k miles. I used to run Rainsports but would only get about 5.5k a set.

I was with Adrian Flux for over 20 years up until last year when their quote was way off the mark compared to confused / Hastings Premier. 🤔

Lose the door decals. Doesn't look right with them.

On the original 182 exhaust the centre silencer was fitted a couple of inches after the cat/ olive joint so I'm guessing that would be the best place to fit one. The original centre silencer was quite a long one too as you can see in the pic. If you're running without a cat that'll also...

Never seen spam like this before on here. Has his account been hacked?

Mines started to go a bit dull again. Oh well. It lasted almost 2 months, still plenty left in the bottle for a few more applications.

I've running TRW front and rear brake pads for a few years and they're very good, never had them fade and last for ages. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362754679607?_trksid=p2504926.m5232.l9681 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173518807748?_trksid=p2504926.m5232.l9681

I use the chassis rails for the front as @dann2707 @Budgie say. Jacking up the rear i drop the car onto axle stands under the rear beam. Never had a problem this way.

Nice write up and info mate 👍

Cheers. (y) I thought that might be the case. I just wanted to hear confirmation.

I hope you don't mind me jumping in on this thread, rather start my own, I'm curious to know. If I change my gearbox oil. Does the Redline mtl 75 w 80 give better protection and would I feel a difference in the gear change compared to the Elf NFJ? Basically is it worth the extra cost...

They're M8 studs with a 13mm nut.

I'm really not keen on how that back box looks. It's hanging way too low imo.

Mine still look the same, they haven't dulled.

You can always tell when they're a " young un" just from the questions they ask. Turns out he's only 18.

I have a Varta Silver in my 182 52Ah CCA 520 https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/varta/c6/?gclid=CjwKCAjwkN6EBhBNEiwADVfyayqqHGu1JfvmdIVb2Dyeojn8hRhxlIrpY_SntGwvSoHWHgM_mYUqBxoColkQAvD_BwE Get Outlook for Android

Looks decent enough from the pics. But as said above., it looks like it's gonna be loud. Looking forward to your opinion when fitted.
