There was a thread on here a while ago about building a "genuine 300hp turbo 182" and the OP said that he found the box to be too log ratios under 300hp but perfect over that if I remember right

as above with the screw driver, check the AC compressor, water pump, alternator, idlers etc. No dephaser to worry about on a MK2 iirc?

As above id look at it as an ideal time to whip the engine out and do a few other jobs assuming space/time isn't an issue

Couple of little odds and ends to tidy it up today... Genuine Citroen Ariel, number plate lamps, battery clamp, bonnet stay clip, washer bottle cap and fuel filter strap! fitted the new bonnet stay clip (the hardest part of the day was removing this lol! Fitted the new battery clamp, i was...

If it's a 1.2 16v it's a belt if it's a 1.2 tce it's a chain

All the same under GT trim, the GT got slightly lower and firmer suspension

Good lad for doing it yourself mate. This is one thing that seems to have been lost with the modern car scene.

Ditch the HPAS for EPAS, Decat, ktec style intake, RSTuner 98ron map, that along with the 182 manifold and matched inlets is the spec I'm running on the van and it tears through the revs like no other 172/182 ive owned!

never really owned the one car more than a couple of years as I enjoy the tidying up bit more so I keep getting them mint then selling them lol must have had 30+ of the things but tbh the van will be with me forever probably, just due to the fact its pretty worthless and has so many hours into...

you probably wont loose much buying them, doing job and selling! its probably cheaper than the postage either way and kebab money for renting

as above, plug in diagnostics and check the speed reading of the 4x abs sensors and rule them out before looking at the cluster its self

Not had much time to do anything with this so its just been tucked away but I took it to work today and gave it a fresh Oil filter, oil, air filter, fuel filter, and NGK plugs - and as a bonus found a fully stamped up service book in the glovebox! I've ordered a timing belt kit and water pump...

we were exactly the same that's why we tried one over the equivalent diesel as there was quite a jump in cost between the 2! Do you find it horribly un refined to drive too?

The last time I sold a 182 it went to Ireland, Lad flew to Edinburgh airport, I picked him up, had a look round the car, all good, he drove to the ferry and away it went, probably the easiest sale I've had tbh! I know things are different with what's going on in the world etc but that's probably...

FRIEEEENNND!... I recognise those houses is that central scotland?

Same as the MK4 then, to be fair I had them in my 220 Trophy and I tried them once to make sure they worked, felt like I had pissed myself and never used them again haha

Cheers, Yeah it looks the part find myself looking out the window at it all the time when I'm coming down the stairs lol Think they are an option but not ticked on this one!

I removed the beam to do mine and changing the bushes was a doddle, I can't imagine it's fun doing it on the deck with the beam still under the car

Great buy, comedy how cheap they are for parts!

Seems about the same size as a mk4 in person. I think it's a different platform but similar wheel base.

Valencia orange I believe it's called

I told my Mrs how disappointed I was after a thorough search that there is none, they have even replaced the radio control stalk behind the wheel with a new one, i preferred the old one that's been used for 20yrs lol. the only part I could find that's carried over from the mk4 was the flap that...

I wasn't a fan until I had a shot driving it and the screen just feels really natural to use, and it appears not to be a piece of s**t to use like Rlink lol

Wife picked this up yesterday, really impressed with it, interior is a massive step up from the previous mk4 she had and the 1.5 DCi drives brilliant so far doing 60mpg, compared to the 34mpg of the old 0.9 TCE which was the worst engine I've ever experienced !

Do Not Want. detuned 250hp version of the megane RS 1.8t in the MK5 Clio with a 7 speed EDC and LSD please!

Why do people get surprized when someone/trader buys a car at an auction and sells it on for more money.

I wouldn't be servicing it if its banging a litre of oil in 300 miles lol, it services its self!

Even doing long journeys they will usually still mayo up, they need to get proper hot regularly to clear it. 1 litre per 300 miles means something is fucked, get it on a ramp and look for a leak first, but i suspect you would know it was leaking by now if it was leaking that amount, sounds like...

I done 15k in my 220Trophy, it was an epic daily, I found the suspension while firm not uncomfortable, no one ever commented on the ride when they were in it, which I used to get on my 200 Cup all the time as it was bone shaking! I would say the ride is slightly firmer in the 220 trophy than the...
