    MechWarrior 5 : Mercenaries

    So.... bumping my earlier post - does anyone on here have it on Steam where I can complete the last achievement with? I need to complete 5 missions either in co-op or online. With the crazily archaic match-making in this game - I have to use invite codes from other players - there are no lobby...

    Plastic clip - engine bay - P/N anyone?

    Hi all, Was checking on the fluids yesterday and spotted the clip highlighted, was broken. I could simply glue it, but I doubt that would last long. Does anyone have the P/N and know whether or not if they are still available? Cheers.

    Weight of 172 engine?

    No chance. A 172 swap for the i3.... ;)

    Don't sweat it. I've been on here 18 years next month and I still ask numb questions! Welcome aboard, by the way. :)

    Need mechanic in cornwall to do timing belt, pump etc.

    It might be worth looking into transporting your car to a specialist? When I had mine ferried to Alex @ AW Motorworks - it was a journey of over 230 miles one way. It didn't cost that much in all fairness and pretty much all flatbeds have a winch should your car not be able to move under its...

    Rocker cover gasket leak?

    Cheers - well it's not a leak then as it idles and pulls fine. That's one thing to tick off. Not sure actually - I'll have to take a look. Thinking it might be fouling something? Probably the most easiest thing I could do, I guess? Clean it up and see if it returns? Might try that at the...

    Rocker cover gasket leak?

    Sorry all - me being stupid. I didn't realise that the inlet manifold gasket section was physically separate from the rocker cover behind it - and not an all-in-one cast. So, it's not a rocker cover gasket issue! Does it appear to be a straight-forward plenum-off and intake manifold gasket...

    New member looking for some advice please

    Not 'quite' the same, but my dad smacked a protruding kerb in his car on the front left wheel. Had it fixed and even a replacement wheel on that corner, but every now and then you'd get a juddering/slight wobble feel whilst turning right. Annoyingly, it didn't do it all the time - but it was...

    Back in a 182 Again

    Nice - what's the spec of that?

    New member looking for some advice please

    Welcome aboard! As @Tory-ing_Rob says - the driveshafts come in many variations and are increasingly like hen's teeth to find. I'd certainly be looking after them as best you can. :) With that issue you mention above, you've raised the ride height by 20mm, does the wobbling get even less the...

    Rocker cover gasket leak?

    Ah - nice one - thanks for that. As mentioned - I'll get some photos tonight - see if those help. Should there be any areas around it that I should pay particular attention to?

    Rocker cover gasket leak?

    I should have taken a picture of it before creating this thread - but is the rocker cover gasket easy enough to replace on a 182? I did the natural thing first - just nipped up the bolts to make sure none were loose without over-tightening them, not that any of them seemed slack to begin with...

    S17 Cup (172 Cup) - Water, Rossendale

    Parked up on Burnley Road East on my way home from work just now. Nice to see an RS nearby.

    Clio 2 RS Minicup and R11 Turbo, sport grannies from Team Renault still in great shape despite the years ^^

    Good video that - what is the spec of the Clio that you're driving? It seems to have plenty of poke when opened up.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Same here - more so that I'm only at 144hz anyway. Pretty impressed with the 3070Ti as an all-rounder really.

    Replacement VIN sticker?

    Cheers mate - I'll get one ordered then. I was just confirming that they weren't £5.99 or something similar! :P It was the firm that Renault Manchester actually use, so I guess it should be a good match against the old one.

    Replacement VIN sticker?

    @Gally @Daniel Chaps - just wondering what the going rate for a replacement VIN sticker is these days? I was quoted £48 - and while I'm not exactly a tight arse - I thought was a bit much for a B-pillar bit of identification. If this is a typical price - I'll pay it. Just wanted to check I...

    Front washers dont always work

    If the 1.2 version is just as cluttered as the 182 - you won't be able to unfortunately. It will require the wiper mechanism to come out. As @MRBILLYUK says - it might seem daunting at first, but it really is pretty straight-forward. Removing all that mechanism helps you to clear the area of...

    Front washers dont always work

    You're not missing anything by having blanking plates on the headlight washers - other than a constant dribble and a pool of washer fluid under your front bumper. Disconnected mine on the 182 years ago.

    Is This Really . . . .

    To be fair - the vast majority of people will look at that as 'just' a silver Clio. The LY ones have much more road presence - despite on paper being more numerically common.

    182 rear quarter panel replacement - Part 1

    It's a commitment alright - but worth it. I really don't want to get rid unless I have to!

    182 rear quarter panel replacement - Part 1

    I reckon by the time I get the nearside done, I will have paid for the car again from when I got it in 2004! It's strangely worth it though. Almost like you feel like you have a duty to the car to look after it - lol.

    182 rear quarter panel replacement - Part 1

    I am really pleased with it - just wish I had enough ££££ set aside to do both sides at once! :) As for the company name - this is where it gets really confusing! So, Bury Motor Bodies is the firm I used here. Though technically, they are a few miles north of Bury itself and are closer to me...

    182 rear quarter panel replacement - Part 1

    New panel fitment. Paint booth. Arch area protection. Door getting painted too. Almost done. Finished article. Overall, I was very happy with the service that Rob and Mark provided. So much so that I won't have any issues going back to them for Part 2 of the refurb -...

    182 rear quarter panel replacement - Part 1

    So, after a while of procrastination, I bit the bullet and decided to get the offside rear panel sorted. As most will be aware, the crap design of the fuel filler area and the lottery of the cill protection means that rust can be on a sliding scale of pretty much zero to a clump of brown metal...

    MarkCup's BMW i3S

    Still hate and detest the things, but I do like reading your updates on it! I think as a work's car - I'd be treating it like you do - why not? And if given the (cheap) opportunity to have one through work, I'd probably say yes and treat it like an appliance on four wheels that it is/was. We...
