Lucky spot there dude!! Not worth trying to drive it, very sensible not driving it

Its hard to tell as it does sound half injector noise, though im speculating really until iv checked it properly mate, always the bloody way! Lol

Yeah i am mate, its always showed not great oil pressure, normally 0.5 ish at idle when hot, and 2.5-2.7ish when warm at 3k. From cold it shows 3 bar ish on idle, and 4 bar at 3k It raises a little at WOT, but as soon as the revs get higher it starts to drop off, which iv not seen a mk1 gauge...

Not sure on the requirement of two threads, but as per the other one, no they don't

Whats the new job mate? Id keep the 182 a little longer. Bear in mind how much fun they are standard, you don't need £1000 coilovers or cyptonite injection, and id be a little nervous throwing an 11k car around a track day. Id hold onto the 182 for a while longer, have some more fun on track...

No they don't mate

He takes a while to get back to you as he spends 95% of his time buried under mk1's lol

Flol! It was on the way home one afternoon, been down a rough driveway from a farm and it dropped out - the road back home I know very well so didn't actually use my brakes for about 4 miles or so, as soon as I did it I pulled over to check and guessed where it had fallen out - low and behold...

Washer bottle full up, makes more lowz

Oh and lol @ lowered 30ml, proper chuckled at that

Ah the good old shopping list down the door of manufacturers that have nothing to do with the car.

Me, i prefere the 4, only because knowing what you're like I can imagine the silly spec it is lol, and I love the wide arches - the 6 is nice, but id prefere the 4

Yeah they do that too lol

Not sure, the OP seems to not have veantured back in this thread? We still are unsure if it has any SH, as Dave said you would expect 6-7 stamps by now...

Mine did that, pad fell out lol. Though managed to go and find it and fit it back in with a pin from a 205 gti iirc

Yes, there is a chance its the cts, but id get the fault codes read just in case mate - iv seen coil packs cause missfires that only miss once their warm, it could also be a plug or lead breaking down

Id would imagine yes, i work for VW and our batterys have a 3 year warranty, so get it booked in for diagnosis - remember it could be an electrical issue thats draining it, so it might not be the battery

Just love this car.

Get it done as soon as you can dude, not worth the repair bill if it goes :(

Leaky rad? Sounds like an S1 hey mate ;) to be honest, id keep it mate. If it reliable, and you like it, then get the belts done, and look out for another set of wheels in better condition with part worn tyres, means you save a bit of money and keep a great car thats perfect for flinging around...

Iv seen it and can confirm it's tidy, and Gaz is proper OCD, top notch work too, can't fault the bloke

As said, it is normal they are a bit lumpy from cold

Wow thats some power! And that turbo whistle!

Problem :( fitted a new oil pressure sender as the pressure gauge didnt work properly, and although it holds ok pressure, at full throttle over 4500rpm it looses pressure - as soon as I back off throttle it shoots back up. Im hoping it's a faulty gauge but I have a spare set so I tried them...

+ All said in jest mate, welcome to the forum. Just try to chill out a bit, and take things with a pinch of salt. Now onto your car, you want a turbo conversion? Just be prepared to do it properly, you will need to be spending a good 4 or 5 thousand pounds

A few hours into it now and tbh for me it just gets better and better! I dont play in on my own, only with 1 or 2 mates, and simply running around, exploring and trying to not get eaten, it's bloody awesome lol

iv manged to stay off it for 2 weeks, and im away until Monday - then il be back on it, i cant last lol

Williams is in a different league IMO, and feels more stable thanks to the wider front track. Plus it will hold its vaue better. Yeah AT or PH are both good, as is WilliamsClio (Or my other Williams I have for sale - PM me ;) )

A minter yes, the valvers are cheaper than the williams mind, but thats to be expected due to the Williams extra kit it has. You can get solid ones that need tidying up mind

Im still waiting for someone to buy my other Williams lol They are good cars if you get a good one
