MrBillyUK !
Its a new virus thats being released tomorrow .It apparently affects microsoft word , excel and powerpoint . And i think pdf files . If you have the free version of AVG you won't be protected from it either now that symantec have taken over .
MrBillyUK !
Miles easier off the car . Also stripped the calipers down , took the pistons out and greased inside the caliper cos my 172 failed its MOT on brake imbalance ,ASSH*LES at NATIONWIDE AUTOCENTRE . The insides of the piston will start to rust over time so i used Rust Remedy and sprayed em up with...
Looks good , i was thinkin of doin' mine in red but was bothered about the brake dust etc ....
You should have used these wire brushes in a drill , a piece of p*ss , only takes minutes not hours . I have a spare set of calipers so it was easier cos i could do em off the car . I opted for...
Just been to sort out a brand new Artic blue 182 with both cup packs today , love the colour ,gonna pick it up on Friday mornin' , missin my 172 cos i've had no car since i sold it on Monday :(
Didn't feel as quick as my 172 tho', but that had 47k on the clock .
Roll on Friday mornin :)...
Never liked the local Vauxhall garage when i had one years ago . Hopefully gonna get to use it this weekend when i pick up my new 182 on Friday , if its not too cold . No car for the last 4 days and its f*ckin killin me ,lol .
MrBillyUK !
Cheap as chips that !! Its £6.39 for 500ml from my local Vauxhaul dealer .Must be cos i'm from the north west and we have more money up here lol ;)
Where the f*ck does r-jay get it from for £3.00 ???
MrBillyUK !
Just gonna buy a brand new 182 ( import ) but it only has the cabasse head unit and no cd changer . I've seen a couple for sale on ebay Alpine 6 cd changer and vdo Dayton 6 cd changer . Which one is the best and will i have the wires under the passenger seat so i can just plug it straight in or...
I'm lookin' to buy a 182 Black Gold ( fingers crossed ) but i don't like the renault standard wheels . I prefer a multi spoke wheel , 15 or 16 spokes preferably .Lookin for some advice and opinions .
First , wheres the best and cheapest place online ?
Secondly i wanna keep standard size 16...
Cheers r-jay .
Are the black golds a b*stard to keep clean ? Any issues with this colour as i'm lookin to get 1 maybe in black gold when i sell my silver 172 .
MrBillyUK !
I'm not an expert on HU's but from what i've read on here before you won't be able to use your Renault cd changer if you have one .
Correct me if i'm wrong somebody .
MrBillyUK !
You think he might need some taxis tonight and some pizza's ? Say about midnight onwards , lol ;)
Thats what i did with somebody from Cardiff when he f*cked me about with a dvd from ebay . Got the dvd eventually and he got alot of late night visitors on his doorstep ;)
Good luck with it...
Probably would be ok i guess but i'm not an oil expert . Alot of people on here seem to like Silkolene Pro S 5W-40 .

MrBillyUK !
I checked 192.com as well ,lol , but couldn't get an exact address , but there are 2 Lee James Hartnolls in Swansea !
As far as i know paypal can only recover as certain amount . They've done it twice for me now . Once i got all the money back the second time most of it back , but it was only...
Do you have his full postal address ? Sounds like you've got back all that paypal can reclaim . If you have his postal address i'd send him lots of taxi's and pizzas late at night just to p*ss him off . I know its no compnesation for the money lost but at least you have the knowledge this guys...
WOW !! I never knew that ,10/10 for observation ,lol ;) . It would have looked better on the 172's with a cut out is what i'm tryin to get at .
MrBillyUK !
Twin exhaust looks better , the single oval was hangin too low . Why the f*ck didn't Renault put a cut out in the bumper from factory ?? :S
MrBillyUK !
Renault recommend 72k miles for a cambelt change on a 172 . Costs something like £450ish depending on the dealership .
Personally i wouldn't wait until 72k , cos the spark plugs are mean't to be good for 72k also but had to change mine at 36k .
I'd get it done about 60k to be on the safe...
Not sure what the 3 black plates or for in the set as mine is a 172 and already had the alloy pedals fitted . The reason CH33MA recommends masking tape is so that your drill bit won't slip when your drilling the metal pedals .
My pedals got worn out on the 172 cos of how close i sit to the...
I used a wire brush set like these from screwfix , you can get em from some pound shops also . Cleaned up my back and front calipers a piece of p*ss . Then as above , hammerite smooth . Check out ebay as you can sometimes get it cheaper on there . I got 3 cans delivered for the price of 2 in...
The cars computer has an impact detector , the severity of the crash mustn't have been enough to set off the airbag , i think its over 50mph ish before it will set off the airbags with a frontal impact . I smacked my 172 into a motorway crash barrier on a bend at 50mph and the air bags never...
