probably need a replacement screen due to damage, or may be cheaper to just replace the dials! Mileage is stored on the dials though.

yeah so that's why you want to make sure they are pressed on tight, so when the motors reset to off it doesn't cause them to move and become inaccurate

I've got EPAS on my van, it doesn't feel as nice as the HPAS but the thing FLYS though the revs, I've never had a 172/182 that revs the way it does, and its a standard engine. makes getting the engine out easier too which is handy if you enjoy that sort of thing lol

Yeah not hard enough onto the motor so its moving. The calibration test doesnt actually calibrate it, just lets you move the dial to make sure its hitting the correct points 10, 20, 30 etc

the needles pressed onto the motors properly? whenever I do a set, I fire it up and run the calibration test so they are set properly, ensure they are pressed down onto the motor properly and that's all they need.

Are all the exterior lights working? I'm sure I've come across a problem before with no interior lights and it was a blown fuse due to wiring on one of the exterior lights, it was years ago

pretty reliable and cheap to fix when they do go wrong. You have to remember though its a 15+ Year old car, its going to have odd issues here and there, some parts are going to be harder to find (rear ABS sensors and handbrake cables come to mind)

looks good, much nicer sitting a little lower. Really enjoyed my time in my 220. Id wrap that front blade black, i think that would set the front end off nicely

Good work, Jesus those tints are dark! I like seeing people play with parts from other models to make upgrades like you have done with the scenic bits!

It will be the bulbs if one side was working Intermittent then stopped

na I managed to do it with it in place, I removed the support brace that goes across the length of the subframe to get my hand up, removed the heat shield material that covers the bulkhead and rack etc, I was lucky I was doing it on a 4 poster but I was alone so it was constant up and down to...

Still been loving this, not been much to report until this week, I picked up a 200 gearbox with the shorter ratios, going to pull it apart and do the 3rd and 4th gear syncros and swap it over. Ordered a new genuine clutch, slave cylinder and gearbox mount for when i get round to that, hopefully...

potential to have CS Gold status

given the clutch makes no difference then it can really only be the tyre, wheel, driveshaft or bearing? check the driveshaft hub nut is tight, sure they are like 280nm or something, seen them not torqued properly make odd noises

haha yeah the comments from the neighbours have got a bit boring on the subject! I've tried a few other things but nothing ticks all the boxes as well, and cheaply!

ive had to put a thermostat on every one of mine, first thing i do when i buy one as they never get up to temp properly. New thermostat and coolant flush and they are good as gold again!

What a piece of kit! Credit to you, that looks immaculate

known people to trap a lead under the inlet manifold when refitting and toast the lead (me :ROFLMAO: ) but it seems you have already ruled that out?

Find someone local or a specialist with clip and they will be able to activate it, a dealership will be doing it but its just finding one friendly and interested enough to want to do it, getting a tech to do it wont be an issue as a lot of them are our type of people but its getting through the...

That was my cup on Eibach Pro Lines - sat pretty much standard to me (maybe a tad lower since cups did always look very high at the front) but certainly didn't look "lowered"

been a couple of times when FCS was there 2009 and 2010 I think I was there? always thought it was a pretty cool place if a little disused! used to like watching the BTCC races there on TV

bit extreme taking the entire dash out for a colour change lol

I fixed one of mine with black electrical tape, a full roll over the entire length nice and tight and it almost looked factory lol

Jesus! That would never have been an expensive fix when you had good compression. A decent diagnosis rather than the parts cannon would have been a start

Best sounding exhaust for these imo, in fact with the flat spot issues on others, its probably the only worth while option?!

It depends what your used to, compared to modern stuff with super fast electric PAS, the steering feels heavy, compared to older stuff it will feel lighter!

one of the best mods you can do to them imo, I've done it to every one I've owned, the smoother idle and cold start behaviour is a nice advantage but for me the extra mid range and raised limiter is much nicer!

Yes I did! Removed the main connector from the abs pump, gave it a good clean with contact cleaner, plugged it in and out a few times, blew it out with compressed air and re fitted, was all good after that!

Love this van! - Also reminds me I must get a spare key made for mine!!!

Great buy, next to nothing to go wrong! - even cable throttle! I run about in a ph1 with the same engine, terrifying trying to join the motorway from a short slip road :ROFLMAO:
