Cracked on with this yesterday as I've not had much time recently with everything going on in the world! Finally got time to drop the old rusty, drum wearing rear beam off! Spent all day rubbing down the 182 rear beam and painted it black and forgot to take any photos DOH!!! Fitted a set...

I love my 182 I just feel any time I daily drive it for an extended period of time it gets very tiresome. On the right road, on the right day, a few times a month it's fantastic but sitting in traffic it's loud, uncomfortable, unrefined, heavy clutch, heavy steering, needs revved to make...

maybe I'm just getting old but I cant think of anything worse than daily driving a mk2 Clio. I daily drove a mk3 for a year at the time about 40 miles a day and it was spot on, night and day over my mk2's MK4 was the best daily I've had but over budget and no manual as you say

Stunning, really like that. Plates ruin it imo though

Sounds possible, there is a gearbox guru on here but his name escapes me

My understanding is a jc5 does fit but you would need a ph1 172 or 172 cup one with the Speedo drive?

very vague description so it could be 1 million things but ill take a stab in the dark at the most common and say its a fucked injector or 2 or 3 or 4 and that's why its not starting as the rail isn't seeing enough pressure to fire. chances are if an injector or 2 is on the way out the pump...

and the best time for buying ;-)

usually will present its self shifting to 3rd and 4th first, change into 3rd at 7400rpm or what ever the beep is it and you will feel it crunch if its on its way out

is that for real?!

Done it online on their website this was before the days of price comparison sites, I was £3000 a year the first year then my 2nd year it halfed and pretty much continued to half, I now insure them for £180 a year 😎

going back a while now but Admiral insured me at 17 on my first one, it wasn't cheap but it was a lot cheaper than elsewhere

Keep it as a toy, I couldn't be bothered driving one daily but as a toy they are hard to beat

agree, but you always hit that peak where it peaks then starts to go down hill, just shows if well serviced that's probably not until at least after 150-170k!

181 next time id say. While there will always be variances in RR's, running on the same rollers at the same place is as close as your going to get to keeping it accurate and getting to measure your results of your work! Looks like a strong engine that one, good given the miles just shows that...

Works on the production line??! Sounds like he also runs a side business as a Persian rug dealer

I went down the PMS kit to remove my AC/PAS and relocate alternator, looks a nice piece of kit and the belt setup is so simple with plenty room and weight saved

Black as pictured is the correct one. Cup spoiler cars had a red one and non sports that didn't get the spoiler were red

I didn't realise they were so closely related to a normal mk2, did they just take a mk2 body shell and modify it rather than a specific shell?

George, but if its too expensive go for the Titan

Last time I came across that it was a faulty injector leaking pressure and wouldn't fire as the fuel pressure sensor wasn't seing enough pressure

Used to love Evo not bought it in years now. Modern classic magazine blows it out the water now imo

Parcel shelf off, my 220 Trophy (non Akra) sounded much better without it lol

Assume it's an early one?

My parents have one in their living room I think it's about 47" and is over 10yr old, no issues.

Isn't it still under warranty?

sell your current car and buy a car with a TCE from the factory is the easiest option you need to change engine, gearbox, wiring, and ecu its labour intensive

Getting there slowly, rear beam and fuel tank are off the 182 Shell is gone

wouldn't be in a hurry to change it lol, I got a quote to do hers sure it was around £400 but in reality it worked out a much better decision to just chop it in for a new one at that miles lol
