Fingers crossed for you mate.

If he’s a decent tester he might know about it. My mot man failed it, fiddled with the wires and retested and passed it.

/\/\ like Hotel California! Cars looking really nice @James172C. Sits perfectly. I went from loving turini’s, to loathing them when I had them, to looking at Clio’s with them on like mmm that’s how it should be done!!

Stunning mate. Looks lovely.

Good write up, thank you! Don’t get the lightning to usb-c but not including a plug? Billions of Apple charger plugs in the world but they are all usb, not usb-c!!

No me neither, only looked into it when i kept seeing people selling cars as ‘fr550’ which aren’t. Annoying!

Very nice and should clean up well, rare as well as you say. I’m sure the FR550 was just a FR bodykit, with these seats and badges. Oh and different 18” alloy wheels. Car looks well and loving the thread on it.

They look more like 15” at least and would say comp th too.

Congrats on the repurchase! Looks nice on the turinis. Makes me miss my iceberg 172 on turinis. 🥺

I was sat at the lights to your right side on the island as you went across so I did point but doubt you saw me. Yes it definitely looked great from where I was sitting. Certainly a credit to you!

Spotted coming off the m6 at junction 11 Saturday. @Coops Mk1? Car looked absolutely awesome!!

Sounds good that, very rally car!

That actually is a good rep, apart from the exhaust. I was only saying the other day that making race reps was the thing years ago, but you don’t see it now. And with wrapping and cheaper produced body kits it would easy and probably look awesome!

Some really nice updates there mate. Seats look amazing!! love the effort on the steering wheel, if only bits were easy to get over there, could’ve got a cheap seat and used the Alcantara and leather off that for it, but amazing result anyway.

Is that a Citroen dispatch van? Nice!!

Absolutely amazing and it looked lovely before. That paint finish is something else!

I purchased some paint off the same seller recently on eBay, it took a while to be sent but arrived eventually. On a side note didn’t m.a.d used to be on here? I’m sure they used to be a member or trader.

The gearknob can be removed but it requires cutting off with a hacksaw usually (on the two I’ve done!) Replacing the gearstick can also been done but requires removing the old unit from below and replacing with the new one. I managed to do it on my 182 as I removed the decat which gave room...

£99 from Apple so not as cheap as iPhone battery replacement but from my experience worth it, iPad batteries aren’t as easy as iPhone batteries to replace.

Saw a rover tomcat turbo in red earlier this morning and then a escort rs turbo series 1 just. No pictures as was driving at the time. Rover went well!

Thankfully it’s not for me, I hate them with a passion. I’m trying to steer towards other cars but not sure it’s working yet!

Thank you. I’ll have a look when I view tomorrow but at least it’s something I should be able to manage.

Thanks for replying guys, I’m sorry, I just noticed I didn’t put what car. Nissan Juke. @bashracing would that be outer tie rod, as in track rod?

Looking at a car (not a Clio) which has the following advisory two years in a row and I’m trying to work out what it would be. Can anyone help please? offside front inner suspension rod ball joint has slight play (5.3.4 (a) (!) ) Any ideas what that would be please (in layman’s terms)? Is it...

I drove from bugibba to sliema on my wedding day in a hired Suzuki alto and that was scary enough the prospect of losing €150! Although it helps if you drive like everyone else, see a gap and go!

Welcome. Nice to see someone from Malta on here. Car certainly looks battered by the roads, not surprising really. Your certainly in the right place for help and inspiration.

I’ve had two cheap 172’s. Both required little bits. First one was better than the second one but still great. As said above if belts have been done and there’s not loads of rust etc then go for it. It’s a Clio at the end of the day so apart from belts most bits are cheap and easy to do even for...

Wow, this is awesome @RustyMojo . Love your commitment to getting a prefect 182. Shame seeing how much work you did on the other one. Good luck with this one, does look immaculate and with your level of work any flaws will be perfected well. Out of interest what does the other one need now to...

Really good progress with it mate, you’ve made some impressive changes. Looks lovely. Wish I’d had the time and inclination to do more to my 182, then wish I’d kept the 172 that I actually did do stuff to.

Hi and welcome. Nice car! What competition did you play to win it?
