He went 'that's totally the wrong speed rating for your car' think he confused a182 for a hypercar. I accept that they are no Michelin pilot or pirellis but they are too my knowledge an acceptable speed rating(up to 130mph I think). As a manager of a shop myself I do hate being retailed.

I was talking to a tyre specialist in Hereford today and he told me the kumho kh17 I have on the front of my car are part of the reason my cars handling isn't what it was. He claims they are totally the wrong speed rating but they are 83V the same as the pilots on the back?! Not sure what to...

The man speaks sense! I've checked front springs and rear and put new cup socks on last summer. Think I will have to find somewhere in Hereford that does decent alignment.

No it's just been recently but I see what you mean. I'm just trying to decide where to spend first as I can't plough that much into it. It's only fairly low miles, 56k so it's more age than miles. The bushes all appear in good condition but I know that doesn't mean they aren't shot and I've had...

Thanks guys;)

Anyone?

I've fitted sportlines when I first got my 182 about two years ago and I get odd handling entering corners, is it possible that there is a small amount of camber movement in doing this that has caused this. There is a small amount of movement with the strut to hub bolts isn't there? What is the...

I'm going to be getting brembo hc discs and pads for the front and rear pads then change brake fluid for ate super blue. All from G172.

Buy a pair of axle stands and a trolley jack, say£60. Then an hour to fit your self. Tis easy.

Thanks that's good to know, so you will know what all the braking efficiency %s are all about

My not showed an imbalance of 8% front and 9% rear, it passed but is this to much? I want to even them up a bit so was thinking new pads and a clean and grease off the carriers and sliders.

I bought my iceberg not realising it was one until I read the paint code on the drivers side door thingy. I was quite excited at the time and now looking back I should have kept it

Ph1 172 in iceberg silver only 99 made. Wish I still had mine

Why why why?! I know someone with a Ferrari replica mr2, everyone takes the p##s out of him behind his back and the engine note is a bit embarassing to say the least

I'm looking forward to a little bit more torque, if I don't feel it I will be disappointed

I hate cleaning oiled air filters, something pleasing about throwing old paper filter out and putting a new (and fully dry) one back in. Five minute job instead of all that cleaning time.

I must admit I'm a bit unsure what I need if I only want the 98 Ron map. Or rather what I need to spend my money on after I get a 2nd hand one. Think I'm over thinking it

So if I bought a second-hand rstuner I could just get a map sent to me from someone on here? Don't want pops and bangs

Still seems some confusion, so if I but one with a 98Ron map already on it 2nd hand I don't need to unlock it to put that map on my car? Do I need to pay for anything other than the rstuner

Hi Rob, won't get a wave now then! What is you're company called ?

Ah you may know Lucy Blake?

Ah its ok. Do you work in the garage then, I've been in there a few times. Educate him on RS etiquette.

I could go out and have a look but it's pi**ing it down, my guess would be they aren't compatible

Oh sometimes I wish id kept my ph1...tears forming...

Buy a ph1 if you like adhering your hand to a frozen gear stick on cold mornings. No seriously there is barely any difference just a few cosmetics or omissions (no spare wheel, ac, abs) on some models. Get Steve R-Sport cars to source you one, he got me a beautiful example.

No sorry Glasbury not three c***s

Ah yeah at three c***s service station, could have been but a bloke was driving. You're right though not many 1#2 around here, where are you?

Do you mean the colour coded covers? I would recommend folding the mirror back in towards the windows before you start then carefully prise the edge top and bottom roughly at Mid point out. Do similarly at the hinge end. They are held on with fairly brittle clips which have a tendency to break...

I'm liking that colour combo, looks quite oe not modded.
