Get it looked at, could be one of three things:
An iffy sensor somewhere (which should bring up a fault code)
Needs a damn good service
You're right foot is lead lined.
My ph1 would average 38 MPG or so.
I didn't say you had mate, I just assumed to have the first car at 17 you must have come from a family with a bit of ££ ;) (my bad)
You didn't answer me though, what do you do? (I want a bit of that action) lol
Looks like this'll be a nice little cloud. Hopefully we get some sunshine and can take some pretty pictures.
I may be bringing t5 in the car with me :D
Welcome to the club, you'll probably be a little disheartened to hear that "tuning" a 182 isn't very easy.
There's only small BHP gains to be made for relatively big money.
The best way to get the best out of your car would be to do basic breathing mods, suspension and brakes.
Cleaning it is generally pointless unless it's totally filthy.
Reach over the engine, down by the exhaust manifold, top/back of the gearbox, you'll feel it.
It is plastic, but you have to pull the metal heatshield off first, but maybe not if it's not fitted.
Brilliant read Jon.
Glad to see it's all running-ish.
You should have called when you were doing the bits, I'd have been more than willing to be an extra pair of hands/car full of spares.
Adam, what the hell do you do?
I'm guessing you've come from somewhere fairly well off to have the golf at 17? (I don't mean to pry).
Anyway, I've actually had a few cars now...
So, in order of ownership:
My first car, got me started on cliosport, was a great little 1.2 8v, cost me...
I need to come to Scottishland and let kev show me whats what I think!
Lovely car that, the detail has made such a difference. How the hell has he got those wheels so good with wire wool etc?
I think this one will do ya,

My advice is call the guy from demon tweeks that gets us discount on here, he's amazingly helpful and really knows his stuff.
I've...
There's three wheels to the right, in a vertical line...
Click the top one.
The three different materials look slightly different.
Polyurethane is the one on want.
It will be EXACTLY the same as the ones pictured.
Cheers, is the stuff you used way better than something like Autosol? Mine will be a little older and tougher I'd imagine.
Brilliant looking car though. Jealous doesn't even cover it.
Immense!!!!
Question re-metal polish... any reason to not use wire wool and whatever??
I need to clean my exhaust tips and the boot lock so I'd love a recommendation.
Not really, it's not a case of taking the weight off, you'd have to lift the wheels right off of the floor to feel any effect.
You've got the weight of the car and the compression of the spring pressing the underside mount against the turret, I don't think it's going too far.
Even if you...
FYI, the only purpose of those top parts is pretty much so that the strut doesn't fall out of the hub when the front wheels come off the floor or similar.
Missing nothing amigo, they're brilliant all rounders. Before I picked this up, I'm not sure why I hadn't thought of them more?
I guess it was the 3.0, I thought I'd never get insured and it'd drink fuel like mad.
If I were you, I'd buy one off of the zed forum, there's some awesome cars...
