oh, and the VVT acts to give a more stable idle as the stock cams are "relatively" wild for a standard car. without it you'd need a high idle, and i doubt it'd be happy at lambda 1.

lot of bullshit in this thread. s**t on a stick the "kick" is coming OFF lean burn/enonomy. nothing to do with coming "on cam", nothing to do with VVT. It's ENTIRELY mapping, due to regulations for emissions, proven by proper mapping smoothing it out completely

because pad compound get embedded in the disk, and a new pad wont be fully effective acting with it

about as accurate as sticking your finger in the air to see how cold it is

no, soft ally and not much thread, you're likely to damage it. just some liquid gasket. Loctite black silicon from halfords will do fine

use an extra washer, and put some silicon on the thread and around the sealing face. once it sets it'll be leak free

if you're not changing the disks, stick to the same pad compound

DS performance from K-tec would be my choice. had a LOT of pads in stock when i was there the other day

Yes get it done if you have any doubt. 1.2s are very neglected with things like this. I do every belt on every car that sold by Ashby clio, regardless of history. Mostly if it's been done, it's a hack job. doubt you'll save anything by supplying, let the garage make their cut, it's how they...

:)

it beat a quite quick lexus on the M50 aswell ;)

i dont understand how being the wrong way could damage it

huh??? just HUH????? weird as fook

look at my earlier post ;) Uxbridge isn't far

last one i went to de-tension was so rusted up the ally casting shattered, lol

do it

tensioner pivot has probably seized

it's not that confusing, just a PHP forum not VBB. You'll find it well worthwhile as a mk1 owner that car looks ok for the money. I'd definitely take someone who knows mk1s to look though

same as 172

they are simple, all you're doing is moving the fulcrum point

possible. Aux belt runs the water pump too. belt being changed for a "shorter" one???? bullshit it's auto tensioned and they're a pain in the arse being the length they are already. Happy to have a look if you want to come over to JMS in Uxbridge when i'm there

Re: Diesel in a 182 hope you've got a de-cat

421s if you can get it mapped for them TBH, Trying C&Bs at the moment, which are promising

pm Tom@JMS

has it ever had petrol in it by mistake?

mmmmmmmm Aero

he can't even remember 29, let alone 19

he's not fussy

had this discussion with Mark about 16 months ago when i did his cambelt ;) loves the marketing TBH
