I bought a 172 that had an engine replacement at some point and the harsh place that done it just cut all the air con pipes out. I got a new set of pipework from a brakers, fitted it all, got it leak tested, got it gassed up and it worked perfectly

They generally idle quite nicely the k4m, is it running good quality fuel? Ignition coils are poor on them and like to fail. When was the spark plugs last done

I wanted people to think it was me and that I wasn't fat.

My mate is trying to convince me to to this too! I might!!!!

Another full day spent today, doesn't feel like much progress. The van is fully gutted and the 182 is about an hour's work from being the same so tomorrow the jigsaw puzzle starts and the van can start getting built back up on the inside. I always laughed at people who strip wiring looms to...

ah good to know about the rack cheers, at least theres no rack bushes to worry about then! na subframes are identical the wider track and extra castor just comes from the arms (apparently!) I found an old thread comparing subframes and they were identical

not just down the road then when im in central Scotland then lol!!

the racks are the same anyway I just need to drill a hole for the 4th mount, the 182 is a cat c write off that's been poorly repaired so id rather stick with my subframe that I know is good and straight, that was my reasoning :)

Thanks mate I couldn't find a definite answer as everyone seems to leave the standard rack in place, that makes my job easier as im using the dci subframe so don't need to touch it!

Was a fantastic car, loved every minute of it haha! nice spec too with the heated leather, never seem to come up with that!

Guys I've searched and searched and can't seem to find a definite answer. So I'm looking at doing an EPAS conversion but the difference for me is I'm currently re shelling a 182 into my DCi van so it's currently running the full DCi EPAS. I'm going to run the pure Motorsport kit on the engine...

Probably shift it on, it's not perfect but it's not bad either where you located?

Plug and play when it's a straight engine swap

Got dash and looms out both cars today, job for tomorrow is fit the 182 carpet (better condition) into the van, fit the loom and get the dash all back in just ready for the engine swap!

Fantastic it was just because the dci has 2 door locks where the 182 only has one

Obviously I'll be using the ecu and uch from the 182 am I right in thinking I can use the dci key and locks as long as I keep the dci decoder ring?

and drive about in the worlds shittest 182?

got a dent lol

sold the 220 trophy a couple of months back so the van has been on daily duties and doing epic, and this week the dreaded high pressure fuel pump failure started. Checked the fuel filter this morning and found metal filings, 30 mins later I bought this... an hour later and I was at this...

haha, id rather have everything working, for now I've ordered a genuine clutch and belt kit/dephaser so I can fire it all over and get it all running, scrap whats left of the 182 then tidy it up over winter! can you code the ESP out with clip or am I going to have to fit all that too?!

yeah rear drums I know are more than upto the job but assuming the abs isn't too much hassle I would rather do it for easier maintenance and they look better and of course the wider track and thicker torsion bar. - my understanding is I need non RS disc abs sensors from a dci 100 or 1.6 16v? it...

I know a few guys on here have done this conversion so looking to clear up a few points, my high pressure pump has gone on the van so this afternoon have pulled the engine and box out and have a cat c 182 coming tomorrow to re shell into the van. EPAS, I assume this is the preferred setup now...

my old one in stirling by any chance?

was just a joke about the wheels as I know how anal trophy owners are about wheels, xenon's, dampers etc! However!!! As much as I miss my 182 trophy, I miss my 220 trophy a lot more!

What's with the not a real trophy? Wrong wheel colour?

Glow plug relay replaced, problem solved 😁

It's a k4m

I've got the big Halfords industrial roll cab filled with Halfords tools, never had to return anything. I've got my old 200? Piece kit that I use for the real shite messy jobs to save using my good stuff and it's spot on, I've had massive bars on the ratchet to lever on them, jumped up and down...

As per first post "df061 preheated circuit malfunction"

It's strange because from all the reading I've done I can't find anyone having the same issues with the glow plug light on, most of the time it's not coming on at all. Going to fire a set of plugs in it anyway but it's just odd that it would start perfectly every day then suddenly the issue...
