Cheers boys, its not my car, but at least I have a place to start..... Willo

Guys, I know its not a Clio Sport, but my mate has a DCI Clio on an 05 plate, its losing power and chucking black smoke out the back, he can accelerate through it and it seems to clear, but is doing it intermittently, am I right in thinking it probably down to an injector, or maybe the diesel...

I checked the date before I bought it, it was only just on 2 years ago, I will give the garage who did it a ring tomorrow and see if they can give me the full detail of what was done, my car will never be a show car, as I prefer driving it than spending hours and hours cleaning it etc, I just...

I will check the book when I get home again, but I thought it said, Belts, as in Plural and pulley changed at 70k, but I will double check.... its actually written in the service book.. Thanks for the heads up... Willo

Ok, so now I am getting worried, I only paid £1625.00 for my 04 FF182 in blue, its done 90k with history and belts and pulley done at 70k, the wheels are mint, and its had an induction kit and piper cross cat back fitted, admittedly when I test drove it the toxic monitor light came on, which has...

I am sure I have probably just put the kiss of death on mine now, but I think I was quite lucky, you don't see them very often at that sort of money, just keep looking plenty of choice out there..... Willo

Unless you find a really tidy Blue FF182 like I did for £1600........:p Willo

Anyone on here ever owned CV04 ZBZ? Blue FF182....... Willo

I bought a 182 about 3 weeks ago for less than 2k, but I think was lucky as most you see are 2k +, plenty on here love the 172 as well.... Willo

Toxic indicator light was on this morning, now its not hopefully staying that way thanks to a helpful local Auto Elec.....:cool: Willo

I am just wondering how hot is safe, as they guy who fitted said it was way too hot for his liking.... Willo

Guys, quick update, I have half an idea where the problem might be, whoever took the canister off, also removed the plug, so I only have the 2 wires left, wonder if that's my problem? I am not great with electrics, so does anyone have a easy solution? Thanks Willo

Guys, I have searched here, and found part of the answer, the 182 I have has had the Carbon Canister removed, as result the Toxic Monitor/Engine light is on, (I didn't take it off) I got a local auto Elec to fit a 23 ohm resistor, which he did and the light went out, but he said the resistor got...

My toxic monitor light is on because someone has removed the carbon canister, hopefully going to get it sorted today, well fingers crossed.... Willo

Look well mate, you should be proud.... Willo

I am only surmising, all though a GT86 seems like a rather nice loan car......:eek: Willo

If he is fully comp and has a hire care as part of the deal won't his own insurance company pay for it, then try to claim it back once the blame is decided? Willio

Does it make a massive difference if they are modded, i.e. my 182 has Piper Cross Cat back and induction kit, I am struggling to get 30, and I ain't been going mad all the time, it is urban tho not on a decent run.... Willo

For someone who supports Liverpool, I seem to end up with a lot of Blue Toys, I really like the Orange, but they seem few and far between, so I was looking for Black or Blue, the one I ended up with seems a steal at the moment, so fingers crossed, Thanks mate, was pure fun in the nice weather...

I didn't ask you if you liked it...... Willo

Being honest, i only wanted a Blue or Black one, or Orange......;) Willo

Sold my beloved 1216 Bandit and bought an FF182, been a week and i haven't missed the bike at all............:approve: Willo

I would have a little wager on you not wanting to give that back, Lovely looking car and supposed to be amazing to drive, enjoy.... Willo

Having owned quite a few "quick bikes" I can assure you, if you come across a decent driver in a decent car, your looking for straights or traffic to get away, it doesn't happen in the corners, all within the speed limit of course.... Willo

I would 100% agree, you come up against a decent car on the twisties, and you will struggle on a bike unless you are very very good, or willing to take a chance...... That vid doesn't tell the true story, track is so much different, on the road on a bike you can't push in like a car, anything...

Awesome vid, especially seen as that S1000RR looks almost standard, there is another vid of him going away from I think an R8 on the back wheel.... ;), for ultimate fastness you will never beat a bike, unless you spend ALOT of money.... Willo

I beat a Fiesta ST last Sunday, caught him and passed him in my 182 without much fuss, altho I didn't have a lot left, I have just sold my bike that weighed about 200kg and had 160bhp to buy the Clio, the bike would see almost anything off apart from some other bikes, but I have to say, I don't...

Sorry to hear about your crash mate, but I would imagine that the police with be able to tell if you where speeding or not by where the vehicles ended up etc, main thing is you on here telling the tail, good luck, hope things work out for you... Willo

Hi Guys, I have just bought a 04 182, which I already love, but since getting it home the toxic monitor light has come on, I have read its down to the Carbon Canister, when I have checked, its been removed and the electric wires have been chopped and joined together, I have searched on here and...

Off to pick up a 182 FF after work, looks really tidy and only give £1725.00 for it, so if it is as it seems, I will be well pleased, I will post some pics when I get it home.... Cheers Willo
