I'm with Mick, plutonium level low :)

I would say full lock could easily create noise from any pulley as it loads the belt system up. and I wouldn't even start the car again until the issue is sorted, if you take the cambelt out you wont be a happy bunny

same colour as wheels imo, I had my originals done (got spare set :) ) at same time as my wheels in BMW sparkling graphite grey. so they are textured as well, have the embossed 2.0 16v on them IMG_6996 by Coops_Turbo, on Flickr

how the heck can they get away with a charging a bill for replacing something then blatantly not doing it, surely that essentially fraud?

ai there's no way Mick would pull wool over anyone's eyes or cut corners, I've had two cars he's looked after for the previous owners and workmanship and components are exactly as you'd expect, genuine and honest, like the man ;) give him a bell in the new year when diamond motors re-opens...

this is why I have never and will never do a cost breakdown on any of my projects, just too damn scary to think about!lol! nice work though :)

monaco looks lovely, needs spacers though ;)

ai, its same pump as the main one that goes forwards for front and backwards for rear washer, on direction per attached tube :)

I've blocked mine and disconnected the pump. mr mot man has been told that I have fancy jet shaped washer blanks ;)

I would suspect a call to mick would be more appropriate at this point for him to look over the vehicle. but as a general rule no I would not expect it to go that quickly at all, the dephaser is a none serviceable item, so in theory if looked after with regular oil changes etc it should last...

love boost :)

there cant be an issue with the discs or pads, they were fine on the 172 not 2 weeks ago, removed, put in dry storage, and haven't been used since until they went on the 182. it could perhaps be fluid. I think I will replace the slightly suspect caliper and obviously fluid at same time and see...

scum on the plus side I have a spare set I can sell you if you need. :)

ai, type D is always green

nice progress, loves a tidy up project :)

no extra dust and all sliders checked and fine

be careful now with the autolock function, if you unlock the car and only open the boot, do not leave your keys on the parcel shelf. if you do and close the boot the car will of autolocked on a timeout and you'll be stuck.........not that its happened to me................ :o

ah, good call, never even thought about the servo hose. I will check that :)

I may try the thin metal shims, but tbh its not when they're hot, its all the time no leaky nipples (ahem) and no visible fluid loss anywhere in the system, all joints look clean on abs unit and under the car etc. fluid has been changed on schedule with stamps etc to prove by mick @ diamond I...

Tried to do a search but cant really come up with an answer, and I have a feeling that's because its going to be one of those hard to chase could be anything faults however, the 182 brakes just don't feel very good, little bite to them, the car still stops still but they just don't 'feel' as...

5mm and et37 Williams wheels, front only

looks lovely, I think the cup spoilers really suite the otherwise standard phase 1 rear end :)

I liked my janspeed one, that never sat right but was slightly raspier than the RS192. but both are nice a quiet the yozza was a truly lovely bit of kit, sounded absolutely brilliant and beautifully made, but it was just a little too loud for me as the cars a daily runabout. another vote for...

Lawro's is stunning and Harps' flower and my mk 1, but that's just a bias view :)

as mentioned, the seller emails the file. its totally unofficial

as above, you would have to but the unit (either new with licence, or second hand then buy a licence from fastchips) and then buy both maps as well. or the second hand unit may come with the map/maps you need

car didn't slip on the dyno did it, if you get wheelspin it can throw the numbers all over the place. and tbh I'd take it with a pinch of salt, if in the real world car feels good then its probably fine and just a duff result on that day. you can usually tell if the timings out when you drive it...

bite me ;)

oi, that's copyright ;)
