Fingers crossed! I explained on the phone what's happening but they wanted to see it first obviously so will see what they say when I'm there. I'm either going to get both manifold flanges cut off and new matching ones put on, or have a v band welded in and a flexi put in somewhere.

The front looks ace! I really like the dark crash bar tied in with it all. The lights are pristine, you use a DA on them? Can't wait to get some photos with this ;)

Thought you'd sold your clio Jon

I like your patio heater mate.

Someone from CSOC will buy that bodykit for the price of the car

Get a job over summer and get yourself a 182. You know it makes sense.

Fitted my exhaust mounts and noticed one of the welds on the milltek backbox has cracked off. I'm visiting keltec the weekend after next so I'll get them to buzz a weld back on it

You will remove a lot of that with a DA and good compound tbh.

Pressed some new EXH020 Polybushes into the exhaust surround to replace the old ones that led to the exhaust not sitting straight. New 20180331_171344 by Louis Walker, on Flickr Old 20180331_172008 by Louis Walker, on Flickr Majority of my time has been spent playing with this...

Charge the battery

Get a new one. Give it a going over with a DA to get the majority out then get some touch up paint from eBay. I had a scuff on mine and managed to get it looking fairly reasonable without a full respray!

I love these vans. This looks especially good on the 2118s. How do they handle?

Looks good, but get some deox c and dunk it next time

2009 182???

I worry that with it being ovalled it will make it especially hard to reposition. I like the second idea, but the top hat was a pain to tap down so might not be so simple to remove without full access!

Won't I lose their position though Carl? Or can you somehow leave them in place and drop the whole arm down to access the top?

Camber bolts in oval bolt holes :nomouth:

I just got it's tracking done! Haha.

Yeah, I'm suprised it didn't do it from the start if it was going to knock. Had these on a fair while now. I presume there's no way to fit little washers without removing the whole shock?

After spending so much money on it I just want it to feel tight and precise. Is that too much to ask??? :disrelieved:😂😂😂

Lol, just seen it was missing the other part of the insert. Doubt powerflex will replace, only quickly glanced that day

I'm running KTR solid top mounts. I did need to tap down the top hat onto the bilstein as the ID was slightly too small it seemed (or OD on the bilstein). I could see where washers would sit underneath but i've had no problems up until recently. Everything else is still tight on top unless...

Just recently its happened. Didn't happen when the bilsteins went on and had no knocks from top mounts without spacers. Just suddenly started.

Tell me about it. Kind of sounds like the manifold banging but I've pulled then engine forwards the most it can go. Very frustrating.

I've had it down to the mounts again and pulled the engine forward before retorquing it all again. It's got solid top mounts with new bilsteins. These were still tight on check. All new wishbone bushes, had a balljoint either side last year and they still feel fine. New hubs fitted with new...

Cheers Paul. Still got a really annoying knock coming from the front end and I have no idea what is is. On the motorway just now there were a lot of vibrations through the wheel. Need to investigate

Degreased the grill and lightly sanded it back with some wet and dry then gave it a spray with some grey primer. Then using some hycote satin black it got a further 4 coats then refitted onto the car. Looks miles better now being full black rather than the grey blue it was before. Not...

It won't as it recognises it as still being there. Safer and easier option over resistors

go somewhere else

Where did you buy your plugs from?
