As some will know I serviced the 182 at the weekend. New genuine elf engine oil, box oil, filter, washers and pollen filter. Old one was surprisingly nasty! Didn't go as planned when I put a litre of engine oil in my gearbox ? so had to redrain that and fill with some comma box oil to tide me...

Is this an ED log manifold? Are there any markings etc? Cheers

Think its okay, sometimes third crunches slightly but it definitely feels different with this oil. Be reet for many miles to come ;)

Been out driving again today and it feels a bit meh. A little clunkier than with elf but still feels fine. Engine feels silky smooth which is nice.

As promised.

I'll check mine tonight for you. I slotted my PMS bar holes as I fitted the ktec mounts ages ago and they arent both perfectly straight

I'll get some genuine anyway as it's not worth risking it for what it costs.

Now I look mental

Definitely need to remove that bottle. It's a pain but you get there. Empty biro is the best thing to use as gus recommended!

Looks wicked. Cant wait to get mine! I'll just drive around with them on instead of my proper plates ? Do love a custom pate, ardennes is my fave

It's a standard oem 136k mile 182 box

I only have milk will that do?

Ragged it down the motorway and down some country roads and feels great. Engine always seems to revs better with a flush but the box is smooth. No crunches into third. Happy to service CS members cars. Will cost you 6 litres of oil though.

Jesus. I'm not going to complain anymore Haha. Going to buy some elf oil anyway and just change it next weekend after the engine oil has mixed with the comma stuff. Pretty sure I got most of it out anyway but theres always some left over. Was really dark when i drained it

My main concern is the fact its mineral

No flushing required after a litre of engine oil?

Haha I only picked up the wrong bottle

Servicing my clio today I managed to put a litre of engine oil into my gearbox ? Had forgotten I'd ordered a top up and just thought it was 4 litres of gearbox oil in little bottles. Nightmare. I've since driven slowly to halfords redrained and filled with this...

The cable ties will be because it's not securing down onto the rail properly when it's been removed. Probably had new injectors at some point in its life? Definitely been a bodge by a garage threadlocking a nut backwards, or a friday! Can get the hose connection from ktec if you want to replace...

Soak it in boiling water and work quickly. If you want to make it stiffer put an o-ring around the middle of the ball inside. I found it's best to use some small screwdrivers to lever one side in then work it round.

Needs cup spoiler

Great write-up. Who is Gay Tester #6? lol

Noone wanted the spoiler and brake light for 100 so I split them and sold the light for 70, adaptor for 15 and cup spoiler for 50

Yep

Lovely car, Cup spoiler next?

Cheers mate, appreciate the kind words. It certainly doesn't come up bad with only a wash! Not polished in that photo.

Mine sold for £70

When I cleaned inside I used brake cleaner, when I did the outside I just used some degreaser. Many man times. I agree, they weren't real bright and they were the nicer style than the Ebay ones. Just makes it look cleaner with no stickers down the side and going to machine polish it when I...

Sure is mate, i love it! Having a garage is an added bonus as i've not got my tools all around the house! Makes the Mrs happy too. Saw your nilfisk had broken, real odd. Was it new? Rust is a pain. Just bought some deox gel and some dynax s50 to get all the sills treated. I checked before and...

Moved house recently and I've finally got a proper driveway. Treated myself to a pressure washer and snow foam lance during the move! Washed it after it being filthy for 2 months and used snow foam for the first time too. Decent for a pre wash and definitely helps reduce the amount of crap going...
