They do have a bit of rasp to them , not overly so though in my experience . People only usually get theirs sleeved when they have persistent problems with the olive joint from the cat to the centre pipe blowing . Having that done won't make it more raspy . If it's blowing from the joint you'll...

In what way are they being dishonest ? Other than calling it a Full Fat I don't see anything wrong with their advert . It's still got 9 days and 14 hours left to run . I wouldn't say they were exactly trying to bin it off quick .

In your original post it sounded like you'd put on a decat and then had an additional straight through pipe in the centre . That's how they come as standard , with no centre box . Yozzas can be loud with a decat , i just used to turn my music up louder lol ;)

A centre box " is " a silencer . That's why cars have them fitted as standard , to quieten the exhaust along with the back box . So what you're saying is . You've had a decat fitted , which is a straight through piece of pipe and another straight through piece of pipe attached to that :S ...

As you know . Yozzas don't come with a centre box as standard . Maybe having the custom centre box has changed the note of the exhaust ? Mines standard , with Cat in place and doesn't drone .

Mossman . As said above . Your best bet is pay a tenner and become a full member and get access to all the forum , cars for sale etc .... there are always some reasonably priced cars in there owned by enthusiasts that have been well looked after .

It looks ok from the pics , but not the best pics to be honest . Imo , it's on the slightly cheaper side . I would have expected maybe another £300 or £400 , but then again they can be bought pretty cheap these days . You definitely need proof it's had both belts and dephaser done and by a...

I checked mine the other week because i was getting the flickering foglight symbol on the dash , but my connectors were like new in both clusters . I think mine was just moisture , i sprayed them liberally with WD40 and that sorted it for me .

Oh yeah , oooops . I missed that bit haha :o . Chances of the Cat failing are probably slim anyway . I was just thinking if it did , 3 times haha ;)

Imo , it looks a bit expensive for what you get . There used to be a link to a guide on detailingworld years ago which i used and it worked . Just get yourself an aerosol mixed up in your colour , a few cocktail sticks and some 2500 or 3000 grit wet n dry paper . Make sure the chip is clean , no...

What happens if your Cat should ever fail though ? Then you're gonna have the hassle of having it cut off and a new one welded back on . Just a thought !

Nice one . Glad it was an easy fix :D . I've always had to file a bit off the ends of my pads , different makes of pads . Lots of people take the shims out , personally i leave mine in . As long as the pads move freely in the carrier i don't really see the point to be honest . Sorry about the...

Just a quick note to add . Off the top of my head , iirc on oem pads there is 8mm of friction material . Someone might come along and say different but i think 8mm is right .

I'm off out now . But post back tomorrow if it makes any difference filing off some of the backing plate on the ends , also clean any s**t off the carriers that will have built up . I'll be interested to see how you get on . Make sure both pads move freely in the carrier before refitting the...

When you bolt the caliper back on , there is always slight resistance lining it up due to the springs on the brake pads , these hold the pads in position . When you press the brake pedal , does the inner brake pad not move at all ? Sounds to me like it doesn't and it should , therefore your...

If the pads were a nightmare to get in , file a little bit off the end of the backing plate so they move freely . Also try removing the little steel shims that they sit in . It sounds to me like the pads are that tight it's not allowing the the carrier to move freely .

The last owner spent £28,000 bringing this car up to this amazing spec ! :eek: lol .

Black is what it says it is , Black . Black gold has flecks on gold in the paint . Only 182's came in Black gold , 172's were Pearl black .

sam55 . I thought it was a nice little vid mate , not at all cringeworthy .

That's ok , you didn't bother me . I wasn't being funny when i said do a search . Just that it's been asked so many times , always with the same answer for a " new key fob " . It's a dealership job . Iirc , it used to be somewhere in the region of £160 or thereabouts :eek:

No . If you do a search it's been talked about umpteen times . You'll need to go to a dealership i'm afraid and part with alot of cash to have it programmed .

Auto paint always seem to get good remarks from alot of people on here . http://auto-paint.co.uk/carpaint/ Personally i've always used a local motor factors , they've always mixed my Arctic Blue up and it's been spot on . Last time i bought some it was £7.99 for 400 ml .

£20 FOR 300ml " you think ? " . I hope you thought wrong , that's an outrageous price :eek:

I don't have the answer to your problem , but if the bonnets about 5 - 10mm proud of the wings it doesn't sound like the bonnet catch is engaging properly . There was a big recall on 1*2's for this very reason , the bonnet could fly open at anytime and basically wreck your car if it hits the...

I had exactly the same happen to me a couple of weeks ago with my 182 , the wind ripped the door out of my hand . The hinges look ok , i think it might have stretched the metal check strap . I tried tightening it up , which helped a little bit , but it still catches the lock now everytime i...

Mine doesn't either on my 182 , but it did on my 172 . Iirc , there was a thread about it years ago and it turned out most 1*2's didn't have the auto function on the passenger side window . Something to do about safety and not trapping a passengers hands , head etc .... if the driver operated...

As said above . It's a very common fault . Mine had been doing it for a few months , especially in wet / damp weather . I checked mine the other day and there was absolutely no corrosion on the connectors , they were like new . So i just gave both connectors a good spray with WD40 and the...

Yes it is .

Yeah they look good , very bright ;)

When does anyone ever agree on Cliosport lol ? 12 months down the line and I'm still Happy with my purchase :D
