morris89 . Not the best introduction to a forum imo , saying you like to have " errrr have fun in it " and also that stating that you don't stick to the speed limit , you like to race other cars and then to top it off , you tell everyone that you crashed only a month after passing your test lol...

Mine didn't feel loose either to be honest . But with it only being 2 weeks old I wondered what the hell was going on . You wouldn't expect that with a car brand new car . It was only after reading on here about the temp sensor issue that i realised what the problem was . Fingers crossed for ya...

I see you've sorted the problem now . But i had exactly the same on my 182 when it was literally 2 weeks old . All it was , was a loose connector for the temp sensor . I gave it a bit of a wiggle and it went away and 8 years later it's never come back .

+1 . I wouldn't dream of buying a car that wasn't running right . Who's to say that there wouldn't be other , major problems in the near future . You could be potentially looking at a money pit . Look elsewhere , there are plenty for sale . It's no good having a car that looks good cosmetically...

No, 182's only came with 16" wheels . Either in Anthracite part of the cup pack or silver non cup pack .

You want just the bulbs or the kit ? I have these 5000k bulbs which are very white and very bright , but they also do 6000k , 8000k etc ..... Not a fan of the blue ones though . http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/d2s-35w-hid-xenon-bulb-set/

Got my free Virginmedia upgrade last week to 152mb :D

Could just be something as simple as the old handbrake cable for the right rear caliper has stretched . How was the handbrake " before " you replaced the discs ? Was it holding on the right rear before or maybe you never really checked so you don't know now ?

Apparently this one fits and works from a recent post i read on here . Do a search and you'll see the thread . It's only £32.24 delivered . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221387024004?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

What people or maybe one person ? How can it " sound " like the spark plugs need changing ? Correct idle , when warm is 800rpm + or - 50 . If it's running fine , no misfires then i wouldn't bother . Spark plugs are supposedly good for 72k according to the service interval , although i did have...

One this mate . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bosch-S4-Car-Battery-Type-063-With-4-Year-Manufacturers-Warranty-/231001234809?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35c8bf1d79

You have to have over 100 posts or post pics of your girlfriend in her underwear to get " full permission " . Either will suffice lol ;-) I'm sure someone will come along and tell you why you're having that problem !

I paid something like £12.87 or thereabouts .

He's selling it because he's moving abroad . Yet he's selling another 182 because he has no room on his drive . Hmmmmmm , I wonder !

Absolutely stunning car .

The 1144's seem to squeal most when you're in slow moving traffic and you just touch the brakes , braking from higher speeds they didn't seem to squeal that much . @Paul.M Pulling up to traffic lights , junctions etc .... i felt like the whole world was looking they squealed that loudly lol .

I did intend to buy some more when i needed them , but I had a problem with a slightly seized caliper and one them wore down prematurely so i had to go to the local motor factors for some " emergency " brake pads as i needed them asap . They gave me some Lucas brake pads , cost me £22 and to be...

I had Mintex 1144's in my 182 . The squealing never went away . They were a good pad though , they just got annoying after a while .

Sounds like your battery to me mate . I had exactly the same , car was running fine , no trouble starting then it just died .

Try swapping the precat lambda sensor with the post cat lambda sensor first . They are the same sensor but it's the precat lambda sensor that is the important one for fuelling . That's before splashing out a chunk of cash on 2 new lambda sensors and Cat . Like you say , it's a none standard Cat...

In my opinion it wouldn't be the best market to get into . The market place is already flooded with " online " detailing products . Personally I order pretty much everything i want online , except food and most of my clothes . It's just easier and convenient .

Do you mean the standard car manual that shows you all the switches , instrument panel etc ...... ? If so there are 2 . One's a standard manual that you get with mk2 Clios , then there's an additional 14 page manual you get if you have a Sport . I don't think I've ever seen an online manual...

20 quid doesn't get you very far at all these days , especially if you like a spirited drive .

It is strange that it's melted . It's not like the reservoir is directly next to the exhaust manifold . Maybe someone will come along later and say that they've had a similar experience . I've just never heard of it happening before . When you change it , just monitor it and see how you go .

No they don't have a heat shield around the reservoir . It's the first time I've ever heard of one melting before with heat from the exhaust . I suppose you could always make one though if you needed to .

I like it with the original black side strips . It just breaks the colour up nicely .

That looks absolutely stunning mate , looks factory fresh . Sunflower yellow is so much nicer than Liquid yellow imo

I just checked mine after i read your post , it had 8 litres left . I've just put in 32 litres and now it's showing 43 litres . So going by that it's not very accurate at all .

I never knew that , you learn something new everyday .
