^^^^ Agree its expensive . But i would imagine the seats are like new , can't have done f*ck all miles so whoevers won em would have saved £200 to spend on somethin else !
MrBillyUK !
Windows movie maker ,add music , fade out , special effects , titles etc ... Not sure about removing music though , you might need some other software , thats if its actually possible to remove music from a video .
MrBillyUK !
Are they different to normal calipers ? You normally just wind the piston back into the caliper clockwise with a piece of flat bar , or something similar that will fit in the groove . Make sure you leave the handbrake off so leave it in gear and put some bricks under the tyres to stop it from...
I had the same problem on my old 172 , both metal clips snapped on the cv boot . If its just the clips cable ties will do .Just got myself a new 182 so i've already put 8mm cable ties over the clips in the hope i don't encounter this problem in the future .
MrBillyUK !
What discs are they ? Have you tried turning them around 180 degrees ? I've fitted discs in the past that have run out a little bit , when i moved em round 180 degrees they were fine .
Its worth a try , only a 5 min job .
MrBillyUK !
Buy one now . Imo the new rs won't really affect the price of 172 / 182's . Its a completely different car which personally from what i've seen i'm not really keen on .
I much prefer the shape of the 172/182 and i would imagine that there are alot of people who will stick with the mark 2 rs...
Ok cheers !
So whats the difference in a tuner list and update list ? What does tuner list and update list actually mean . Can't find anything in the headunit manual that tells ya .
MrBillyUK !
I was just thinkin that if i got a second hand ecu i could get it remapped to a grp n ecu rather than getting mine remapped so i can change the ecu back anytime i want , if i was sellin the car etc ....
MrBillyUK !
You wouldn't have to change very much , as long as its not the exact same font . I'd say it was the logo , font , thats copyrighted , in all colours .
MrBillyUK !
If i change the ECU in my 182 for another ECU from a 182 am i right in thinking that my transponder keys from the original won't work with the new ECU ?
Would i have to use the keys for the new ECU ??
MrBillyUK !
Never unlocked when i crashed .
According the the manual its says " ......... remember that in the event of an emergency it may be more difficult for those assisting you to gain access to your vehicle "
MrBillyUK !
According to the service book its every 12k miles or 2 years , whichever is reached first .
Personally i always change the oil myself inbetween services , so its changed every 6k miles .

MrBillyUK !
On the 172's its the tuner list headunit , on the 182's its the update list headunit and as far as i know its a different connection on the back of the headunit .
Somebody correct me if i'm wrong ??
MrBillyUK !
Is it a larger diameter tailpipe than the original renault one Maz , is it touching thats why its melted ?
I'd like to know for future reference when i come change mine if its gonna cause a problem melting it ?
MrBillyUK !
This is where your ignorance is showing then as its not a covering , but it actually neautralises the rust , killing it dead and preventing the reoccurance of new rust .
Do you really think that a company such as Loctite would release a product into the market place that doesn't actually do...
I don't take myself too seriously at all .
Just saying that theres more than one way to skin a cat , to coin a phrase .
Neither way is wrong , all depending on the amount of rust that is present and the amount of money he has to spend . I was merely giving advice on a method that " could "...
Thats true . Rust is the enemy of cars . The guy asked a simple question so i gave him a simple answer . His question was just about a simple rubbing down and priming job not , a full blown cutting and out and replacing , which your right , is the best way to combat it .
But then you get...
If you read the original post , the rust doesn't sound that bad , he's after advice on rubbing it down and priming , no mention of cutting out arches etc .... If it was rusted through as bad as " you " seem to think then i doubt he would be after advice on sanding down .
So i'm guessin...
Roads are clearin up now , M65 , round whitebirks clear too , i think you should be ok drivin over to Manchester . A combination of salt n sun works wonders :)
MrBillyUK !
Buggers them Blackburn kids ,lol, especially those round the farthings area , they've got no respect like the kids in Darwen ;)
The kids in Darwen come round and say " can i help clear the snow away Mr ? "
So we reply " how much do ya want ? "
They reply " nothing , we just want to...
