Nice purchase! I nearly jumped in on a part-ex deal with my Punto GT on one of these, back in about 2000. It was red too - strangely not a colour you see them in often? The only reason I bailed was that the garage offered me peanuts for the GT - I actually got more for it in private sale 4 years...

I've never been a fan of those BBS wheels on anything. They look too 'fussy'. Those Turinis however..... :)

As you're running a 172 Cup with no ABS - it's a no brainer as it's cheap to sort. Pretty much any garage worth it's salt would be able to rectify the leak.

73 hours in now. Definitely one of the titles that I've put the most amount of time into on Steam.

Strangely, I thought he had responded on this thread originally, back in 2011?

Went past us at the Hare & Hounds pub - heading towards Belmont, about 4.30pm this afternoon. Noticed a CS sticker in the rear window too.

Thread bump - spotted again on Blackpool prom today. Good to get acknowledgements off other RS owners, still!

Awesome. What a car to own! Almost a work of art....

Good choice! I've said on here before that we had one of the previous gen 2.2 diesel saloons at work and it was my preferred choice if I needed to go anywhere. A great mile muncher. Loads of spec and a very good engine across the rev range. It was that car that got me into MPS appreciation. :)

Haha! Do you accept Ugandan dollars?

Yep - brake pipe. Slightly weird in that it appeared to be slightly out of line and had caught on the rear spring. Must have only just touched and maybe when the spring compressed - as I've had those Eibachs on for years. I looked at the old section of pipe - and indeed it looked like it had...

Nope - three years at uni - I barely ever came back up north. Good place down there, though it did seem to be permanently grey! :)

Lol! Pretty much! Apart from spending a three year stint down in Plymouth, I moved up to Heywood for about 5 years and then across to Birtle for a further 10. Moved back to Ashton for just over 2 years and now into my 2nd year in Bromley Cross.

I've never really understood why modded cars can quite often work out cheaper to insure? A yocal to me too - I'm originally from Ashton :)

Parked up there yesterday. Looked standard apart from being lowered. Nice, clean example. :cool:

Tom and I are normally polar opposites on what we think looks good. But even scrabbling every bit of JDM/modding/homebrew appreciation I have - I couldn't like that car. Not a nice thing to look at, at all. Jack's image of the M3 however - now that looks superb.

The car is in the garage today - I'll update with the news that I get back.

I wonder if the issue is false reporting? It seems strange that a coolant problem would arise in March - unless it had dumped out a load of the stuff beforehand? Does a diagnostic check bring up any error codes?

Down sarf at the minute - but got Shelley to take a picture of the little oil pool when she got back tonight. Thankfully it's not grown in size since this morning, so it's not pouring out of its own accord. And yep, the car does need a wash! [emoji5]️

182 - they are the OEM items, so they are well over 10 years old now.

Haven't had the chance m8. I was on a flyer this morning as my fiancee dropped me off in her car. I guess a split hose is just as likely a candidate?

Thanks Mick - I think I might have found the culprit. I went to the car this morning and there was a small 3" pool of what looked like oil on the floor in front of one of the rear wheels. Clearly brake fluid - so I'm assuming the seal has perished on that corner. I'll get it booked into a...

Sounds major? Was it a big job?

Chaps, Set off home tonight and all was fine. Got about half a mile from work and went to cover my brakes into a left turn. The pedal went pretty much to the floor and I had that instant reaction to start slowing down with the aid of the handbrake. Pressing it harder, the brake (and I mean...

P-Zeros are good too - but I'd leave them on the rear. I've found them to be very soft and get hammered on the front with 'enthusiastic' driving - lol :) In the 10 years I've had the 182, I think I've tried nearly every make and model of rubber that there is for these!

Those Sport Maxx's are really good all-rounder tyres. I was well impressed when I had them on mine.

Go into your account (via iTunes on the PC) and and see what is being sync'd there. We had a nightmare at one point with something similar - we sorted it out within the account settings window.

I personally like iTunes for 90%+ of the time - but there are occasions where it just drives you to despair. I think the biggest issue is that Apple are trying to cover all bases. The vast majority of phone users are either lazy, gormless, CBA, or simply don't have the patience to manage their...

Welcome back - always good to have some 'old timers' back on here! ;)

I think that that boat has long since past. Sure, piracy exists still on all platforms, but I cannot honestly say when the last time I tried a pirated game on the PC was. The ease of use with platforms such as Steam and Origin and the significantly cheaper price-point on the PC to begin with -...
