I'd say it should be fine, as said I'm not certain, but sure enough.

Pretty sure all mk2 windows mech's are the same, not 1000% though. If I were you I'd pick one up out of a similar car, make sure it's the whole mech though, fitting new wires is the biggest ballache on earth.

Get it polished up and get some pics then, jeeeez.

Hi, welcome to the club. The drivers seat not going forward is normally a broken/disconnected cable, seats are cheap as anything so you could pick up a second hand replacement for <£100 easy. Service light can be reset very easily, should be done if you get the car serviced. Clutch...

FFS, talk about left out. FW, we'll never be the same again.

Should have sold it to Sam, Gaz :(

May I suggest some new plugs? ;)

I left the sensor screwed into the decat and then unplugged the sensor at the connection under the car. Had no effect on my ph1 AT ALL. But as said, it's hit and miss, I still returned 44mpg on long journeys etc and it was still a very quick ph1.

That's a real b*****d on the dash, can't believe they've damaged it! Are you getting anywhere with that? Keep trying with the upholstery companies, eventually you'll find one. I found the prices differed massively when I was looking. A question for you, I know you're ploughing $$$$ into...

You two need to tell me where these places are! I'm all for exploring, but those look awesome.

Mine ran about 50k, so yeah, very hit and miss.

Probably need a cheapo code reader tbh.

I ran my ph1 like this and it was fine yeah. Both lambda's where there and only the first one was plugged in.

You can screw it into the exhaust and just unplug it. The reason it's left out is obviously, with there being no CAT, the emissions picked up by the second lamba sensor would register a problem.

Re: Barain Tablet. No, but everything requires two finger presses simultaneously and it's not multi-touch.

Re: Barain Tablet. There's a reason it's cheap mate... it'll be utter pony. I'll buy you one and I'll have the iPad if you want?

It's quite hard to knock loose Jon, but you may have half unplugged it or similar?

Twas mate, why's that?

Al_G - Awesome S2k! Adam, how funny (I remember now, my memory sucks). I'm looking at taking on a s**t load of freelance drawing work as the money seems good if you can find it.

TDF for a live map.

Get it looked at, could be one of three things: An iffy sensor somewhere (which should bring up a fault code) Needs a damn good service You're right foot is lead lined. My ph1 would average 38 MPG or so.

I didn't say you had mate, I just assumed to have the first car at 17 you must have come from a family with a bit of ££ ;) (my bad) You didn't answer me though, what do you do? (I want a bit of that action) lol

Looks like this'll be a nice little cloud. Hopefully we get some sunshine and can take some pretty pictures. I may be bringing t5 in the car with me :D

As I said in the other thread, ho's**t. Seriously though, it looks awesome. It was actually you that made me buy a 2 seater soft top, too cool.

Wick, can I come with you? The Audi makes me want to dip my balls in a blender.

He said it's quite thick in areas, without stripping the paint off you'll end up losing definition on the wheels.

Ho's**t that's mint.

Welcome to the club, you'll probably be a little disheartened to hear that "tuning" a 182 isn't very easy. There's only small BHP gains to be made for relatively big money. The best way to get the best out of your car would be to do basic breathing mods, suspension and brakes.

Cleaning it is generally pointless unless it's totally filthy. Reach over the engine, down by the exhaust manifold, top/back of the gearbox, you'll feel it. It is plastic, but you have to pull the metal heatshield off first, but maybe not if it's not fitted.

Speedo sensor is an easy job too. Pull it out the back of the gearbox, plug new one in, push back in. Done.
