is there and risk of damage?

the section of track rod that is nut shaped is begining to round off:S, pair of stilsons on it with heat?

How irritating, took my 182 to ETB get it tracked as it was pulling to the right a bit on acceleration and they confirmed it was a bit out but after a while of puffing just went "oh we cant free it its seized, take it to someone to free it off and we will set your tracking" I thought that is...

I like that a lot, I have heard of you wheel before. wonder if the stitching will fade though?

Getting my steering wheel re-trimmed by Mikey on here, done a search but cant really find many different examples. Its for a 182ff in arctic and I cant decide what to get done. Any pictures of yours done would be great.

I might get some photos up to see what people think, do they have a lifespan?

I have a set of sportlines that the paint have chipped on quite badly where they touch the dampers and where the coils touch on compression. They also have slightly worn flat patches where the springs touch on compression, are they still good enough to use or are they past it? Dom

Ah you need a ph1 for sure Rhys! An iceberg silver one

my fix is rubber pondliner from work rolled into 20-25mm rolls and pushed into the gaps between the arms of the renault mount then cable tied through the hole in the middle. Job done! Sportlines going on then

what about the height, does it sit much lower?

Yeah fitted them before tis surprisingly easy isnt it, good weather for it too!

Well my 182 only has 40k on it and feels smooth yet stiff. Ive got some sportlines sat here but was looking to see what others had found. Cant decide if I want to molest my perfect ff

I have had them on my ph1 but that had almost crude suspension compared with my 182ff, I just thought cup pack suspension would be better than sportlines or is it more of a case that the shocks are where the improvement is more so than the springs?

tried searching, do I fit sportlines or are the standard cup pack springs better, since moving to my 182ff from my ph1 172 I like not having crashy suspension and more internal rattles. Will my 182 be the same with them? Dont want to ruin my rattle free drive. Dom

will be an arctic come next week, just think it may look nasty. might go oem

not sure, young lad driving though. Might see you about though sometimes see a monaco cup at sainsburys hereford

spotted on 12.03.12 at about 14.00, nice and the first time Ive seen one in the flesh

whats your thoughts on body coloured stitching on a 182 steering wheel? not sure myself, anybody got photos

think so I have got some spacing washers now to stop the struts catching on the suspension turrets as a starting point. we will see!

my brother drove his Fiat X19 less than 1/2 a mile in a small town to get work done on it for the mot, no tax no mot so therefore no insurance. He stalled and couldnt get it started on a roundabout 200 yards from the garage and a policewoman came to his aid - 6 points and a £300 fine!

nearly 33, got my Naples 16v as my first car at 25- slow starter! hopefully 182ff soon, 172 ph1 currently - offers?

yep last week, mine has stopped for the most part for some reason but I think it may be the top mounts catching on the turrets but not yet had daylight to look and confirm. easy fix if it is though. There is a guide on here somewhere.

couldnt agree more, some mornings in winter if I got in with a wet glove from de-icing it would freeze to the gear stick!

very weird this as it has all but stopped today, has saved me some fuel though coz Ive been driving cautiously like its going to help

Hmm I might be wrong but it sounds like its coming from lower down. I will have to have a look tomorrow. If I sit engine running and steer (to the right mostly) it grumbles as the power steering cuts in and I thought it sounded metallic. Thanks for the strut idea though,I think I will just do...

no its a bit more of a crunch/creak noise (almost like dry steering on gravel or ice) and a few times it sounded like a slight belt squeak, just weird that it disappeared so I went around the car park at work going lock to lock and it was fine but the later on it was back but not as severe. My...

My 172 has what I first thought was a knackered ps pump as it was grinding/crunching and sometimes a belt squeal near full lock or at car park speeds when turning. Today it seemed to have disappeared or nearly except the odd grinding noise near to full lock. One other theory was a loose aux...

I have some for a ph1 172, will they fit a 182ff and will they lower it much?

as in title, I sold it to someone called Andy from on here

thats what I thought- wheels filling the arches better but then they are surely the same overall circumference due to being a lower profile
