If i change the ECU in my 182 for another ECU from a 182 am i right in thinking that my transponder keys from the original won't work with the new ECU ?
Would i have to use the keys for the new ECU ??
MrBillyUK !
Never unlocked when i crashed .
According the the manual its says " ......... remember that in the event of an emergency it may be more difficult for those assisting you to gain access to your vehicle "
MrBillyUK !
According to the service book its every 12k miles or 2 years , whichever is reached first .
Personally i always change the oil myself inbetween services , so its changed every 6k miles .

On the 172's its the tuner list headunit , on the 182's its the update list headunit and as far as i know its a different connection on the back of the headunit .
Somebody correct me if i'm wrong ??
MrBillyUK !
Is it a larger diameter tailpipe than the original renault one Maz , is it touching thats why its melted ?
I'd like to know for future reference when i come change mine if its gonna cause a problem melting it ?
MrBillyUK !
This is where your ignorance is showing then as its not a covering , but it actually neautralises the rust , killing it dead and preventing the reoccurance of new rust .
Do you really think that a company such as Loctite would release a product into the market place that doesn't actually do...
I don't take myself too seriously at all .
Just saying that theres more than one way to skin a cat , to coin a phrase .
Neither way is wrong , all depending on the amount of rust that is present and the amount of money he has to spend . I was merely giving advice on a method that " could "...
Thats true . Rust is the enemy of cars . The guy asked a simple question so i gave him a simple answer . His question was just about a simple rubbing down and priming job not , a full blown cutting and out and replacing , which your right , is the best way to combat it .
But then you get...
If you read the original post , the rust doesn't sound that bad , he's after advice on rubbing it down and priming , no mention of cutting out arches etc .... If it was rusted through as bad as " you " seem to think then i doubt he would be after advice on sanding down .
So i'm guessin...
Roads are clearin up now , M65 , round whitebirks clear too , i think you should be ok drivin over to Manchester . A combination of salt n sun works wonders :)
MrBillyUK !
Buggers them Blackburn kids ,lol, especially those round the farthings area , they've got no respect like the kids in Darwen ;)
The kids in Darwen come round and say " can i help clear the snow away Mr ? "
So we reply " how much do ya want ? "
They reply " nothing , we just want to...
I've used this stuff loads of times , wrought iron gates , fences etc ... paint it on , paint over it , rust never came back .
But i agree if the rusts that bad , it will need cutting out if its only surface rust this stuffs good enough for me .
MrBillyUK
Except for the little b*stards who can't be arsed bend down and pick up the snow , so they just scrape their tiny little angelic hands right across your bonnet , roof and sides of the car lol ;)
MrBillyUK !
Just deleted what i said , thought you had changed the rear pads , now i've just read it again .
Caliper on the back of a 1.2 ? Don't you have brake drums ??
MrBillyUK
Theres f*ck all worth lookin at on ntl's newsgroups :( Get yourself bit tornado and get onto

Good speeds to be had on here :)
Read the FAQ's though cos they don't allow some trackers .
Its always my first port of call before mininova , isohunt etc .....for...
Shes from Ossie iirc . Looks more like one of the many Blackburn 2 o'clock princess's ya see down Darwen street round the kebab shops ,lol ;)
MrBillyUK !
You need to stop the rust from coming back . Is it bad enough it needs filling ?
You can get this to paint on before you ,fill or prime it kills rust .
MrBillyUK !
Could it not be the adjuster screw rusted and seized ? I stripped some rear calipers down from an 02 plate 172 , one caliper was ok the other was seized solid .
MrBillyUK !
If your sellin yours mate try private rather than tradin it in if you can , you'll get alot more . One dealer offered me £4000 for my 51 plate full fat 172 , very good condition . I got £5900 private through autotrader .
Still some good prices for 12 months old or less just keep lookin ...
If you can find one . Gettin like rockin horse sh*t now in any other colour than titanium .
Mine was £12,227 on the road , both cup packs arctic blue a couple of weeks ago from motorpoint , i think they've sold the last of theirs now .
