It's mostly new fluid now. It seems strange how it was fine for 2 weeks then suddenly became soft with a long pedal travel then when I bled it again it was fine for 3 weeks then a soft pedal again. I've been trying to find some gravel to activate the abs like I've seen people suggest in other...

As per title. About 5 weeks ago the brake pedal suddenly became soft/ long travel. So I bled the brakes , just a bit of air came out and the pedal was solid again for 2 weeks. Then it went soft again and the pedal travel was almost to the floor. So I bled the brakes again. Again the pedal was...

You know when somebody says something that they think is funny , and it's not quite funny and you feel embarrassed for them ........... ;)

Lookin' good. Needs white/clear side indicator lenses. Doesn't look right with the orange ones imo. Also Silvervision indicator bulbs.

I've used Rainsport 2's then 3's for a few years. Really rate them especially in the wet. Wear rate was always poor, similar to you, most I would get out of a pair would be less than 6k miles even with rotating them. I'm now running Avon ZV7's which feel good in the dry and wet. Maybe not...

There was a post about these a week or so ago. Do a search for seat spacers and you'll find the link somebody put on for ebay.

The advert I saw on eBay does say it's louder with a deeper bass tone . Most after market exhausts are louder than the original exhaust. Is it just a back box or full exhaust system? Do you have a middle silencer? Check if you have a Powerflow exhaust place near you if you don't, they should be...

Yeah it's cheap, and there's probably a good reason why it is. I doubt it looks anywhere near as good in real life as it does in the photos. Personally I'd pay a bit more and get a brand that that is recognised on CS as being good quality and good fitment.

Post #11 and #12 ;)

I use a 25 litre fermenting bin. The only time I use mains water is to rinse off the car.

From what I can gather some people have fitted cheapo leds in their interior lights but they never fully turn off, there's always a slight glow. The leds I mentioned above look very good quality.

I think it's more like internet scaremongering. I've never seen any posts about frying the wiring loom. The only time I've seen people have problems with led lights are when they use them on the interior of the car but they never fully turn off even when the ignition is off.

Nice one. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Night time. Only with the led sidelights on.

Had them in quite a while now. I had some cheaper ones that had been in ages but nowhere near as bright as these. They're a crisp white light same as the 6000k xenons.

Just took these pics now. They're bright in daylight but hard to capture on my phone. If I remember tonight I'll take some pics in the dark.

No experience with the foglights sorry.

I've never had a problem with MOT s and led sidelights. These are bright enough you can see them clearly in daylight. I changed the Xenon headlight bulbs recently for 6000k bulbs and these led sidelights match perfectly. They're the best leds I've used and I've used alot over the years.

Ive tried loads of different led sidelights over the years. These are by far the brightest, whitest I've used. Can't send a direct link from eBay on my phone. Have a look for these.

Usually when you fit a decat and the light comes on it's a constant light not flashing and doesn't affect performance. Sounds to me like the lights flashing for a different reason. I've certainly never heard of it putting your car into limp mode.

You forgot the Cillit Bang ;)

You must have been doing it wrong if it marred your paintwork 😜 keep it well lubricated and you can't go wrong. So much easier than messing about with a tiny bit of clay that you will inevitably drop on the floor at some stage 😉

@AndyPembs182 . If you want ease of use, try a farcella G3 clay mitt. Piece of piss to use, takes no time at all to clay your car. Use it after you've washed your car , keep the paintwork wet and there's no chance of marring the paintwork . I know the cleaning gurus will be screaming nooooooo.o_O

I think, from what I've read that different models have the nipple on different sides . I'd be looking at why yours on the offside doesn't work rather trying to change sides . Like I said there could be a break in the wire.

Don't know about your 1.2 expression but on my 182 there is only 1 nipple and it's under the passenger side wing mirror. Maybe you have a break in the wire?

Yours looks to have all the right bits but just looks an untidy mess. I changed my 182's pollen filter a couple of days ago and this is what mine looks like.

I've had my 182 since new and it's always been run on V power or Optimax as it was back then except for 3 occasions when I needed petrol and couldn't find a shell garage. The past couple of years I've been adding half a bottle of Redex petrol cleaner every couple of months. Whether either of...

It might help if you say what model 2009 car you have. When the heater resistor pack gave up on my 182 i had no speed control of the fan , it was either on or off. You can get them off eBay for about 12 quid. I'm assuming your car will have a similar resistor pack. As for your air con I haven't...

Had a few MOT fails and lots of advisories. A few mentioning high emissions and 1 engine management light. Doesn't sound like a cared for example in my opinion.
