How annoying, after a year of no air con I finally parted with 50 quid to get it re gassed which was near empty. Anyway after all that it turns out my pump isn't running, are there any checks I can do or easy fixes or am I going to have to shell out a few hundred just for a few weeks of...

Anyone?

Since having the inlet manifold off to seal the usual leaking rocker cover bolts one by one my coolant light has been on. Checked it was plugged in but its still on so do i need to put a new sensor in? Could be a good time to change coolant too.

Thanks Kev, that puts my mind at rest. I think mine had been going for a while explaining a few cornering issues, but once it had left a puddle it was really bad(not as bad as my girlfriends 1.2 RL when the weld snapped on the hub end however) My old shocks cant have been bad when i changed...

Does my above description of my shocks explain anything, i thought cups had different stickering?

Also an interesting observation, i compared old to new and the old one when compressed went down a full inch further, so would that indicate one isnt a cup shock. Grey/yellow circular sticker on my new but fooked 'cup' shocks, old ones worn off?

Standard but ive had eibach on cup shocks with no probs in the past. Ive just put an old worn but not leaking one on from last summer as i saved them just in case, good decision it now seems. The one i took off left a puddle on my drive while i fitted the new one.

Ive messaged Adam renault Wolverhampton, Im sure he will sort it. Horrible horrible handling now!

Is it usual for cup rear shocks to fail after less than a year and less than 5k?

Could it be a dodgy key?

cant find this when searching, some times and today included when I turn the key to start nothing happens. Today took three attempts leaving a few second pause between. Any one else get this? So far it always starts after a few goes but then may not do it for a week.

Seen near Green Park station at the lights

G172, next delivery, good prices and a thoroughly nice guy

Is it one of the front easily accessed ones, as in can you cut a slot in it? They aren't or shouldn't be that tight

Just read this tread, I could smell a timewaster. Why all the put too much money into it rubbish? He was essentially getting cashback with the payout and cheap buyback/repair. I'm sure people threaten with breaking to try and drive the price up.

Hard to explain but it all makes sense now because it had a horrible feel through the pedal as well. I suppose it was a grind but it is well worth checking if you get it as is a free and easy fix just to post the reservoir back onto its seal/gasket

Quite simply the brake fluid reservoir touching the engine block when pulling off. I've had this for near two years and always thought it was a dodgy release bearing until I made it worse doing a brake overhaul causing the reservoir to touch constantly. Such a simple fix just wish i had noticed...

A bit like if your brake fluid reservoir touches the back of your engine block.

Just throwing it out there but I once refitted my valver cat upside down and it caused the manifold to touch the bulkhead under load, horrific noise. I bet yours is doing similar

Mine don't rub now. The passenger front did but it was because someone had put the arch lining in overlapping wrongly

Yeah that's the one I got from screwfix, I find the 0 on the handle doesn't line up with the marks on the increments. To be fair for £20 I'm probably expecting a bit much. Still better than total guessing

In answer to the torque wrench, get a half decent one not like the screwfix one I got that is difficult to set accurately

Sorry just re-read the question, I would fit the recommended 195s

They get Slated but I just put 2 toyo T1R's on the front of my 182 and I had them on my previous 172 half the price of pe3's practically

Nice welds!

Dragging this up again since I tried an easybleed but don't seem to be getting any air out. With ignition off I get a good solid pedal not so good with it on and a slight grumble noise right at the top of the pedal travel, (I'm presuming this to be air?) after that though the braking seems to...

I thought all 182 had smi racks

Problem solved, thanks.

I'm quite miniature with a monkeys grip I'm sure I will be fine. Does it just push down on with a bit of lube

Yeah wobbly alright, just syringe fluid out and pull it off
