lol you have some seriouse beef with my tyre sizedont you!? ive actually just had 2 front 195 40's put on again today, only reason is that my coilovers have siezed up so going to need to deal with that situation then i will be changing to a bigger tyre size...had to get these on today as...

To you who are running low cars, what size tyres are you running? Im currently on 195 40 16 as the car is really low but im not sure if i should go for 205 40 16 or 195 45 16, just cant decide....the rear seem fine but with the front being so low the tyres are wearing fast

ah rite, so if it has been 6 derees out, would this have done anything badand am i right in noticing the car feeling a lot more responsive now?

prosume he just meant about 6 then? i dont know how the "degrees" part of timing works....what kind of degree could it go up to?

that looks like the drawing he did lol

so say the water pump has been changed previously, would ther be any reason fot i? i bought the car on 24k 3 year old and have owned it since... tbh mate im note sure, he did jot down on some paper what he was explaining to me about the part he was on about which showed why the timing out but i...

also Fred, can you shed any light on the water pump details i mentioned above out of interest?

mmm strange then, dont know why he woud make it up though and like i said it does feel like it has more power than before it went in what kind of measure woud be normal to be able to tell Fred?

could be a cup and someone has upgraded the luxuries into it does it have air con?

its the first time the belts had been changed, however, they said the water pump they took off had numbers scratched off it, meaning its not a factory part, although it was still a genuine renault part...as far as im aware this had never been changed

the 182 had its major srvice yesterday and when i went to pick it up today i was told the timing had been out by 6 degrees...just wondering why this could have been? the car does feel more responsive and faster now, would being out by 6 degrees make this noticable?

Re: Austin-182 progress thread (2 years late) Cheers Dr Pickering, urs will ve my fav Trophy when it gets sorted and comes out

Re: Austin-182 progress thread (2 years late) Cheers mate, very nice comment that! It's my pride and joy

Re: Austin-182 progress thread (2 years late) Update.... Picked the 182 back up this morning after having it's 5 year major service, its now on 49,331 mile's Parts cost me £550 Labour costs were £330 Service included; All genuine renault part's were used •Full Cambelt kit •Full Auxbelt kit...

Yes mate a lot of sanding lol

Coilovers are GAZ and have siezed up so cant change the height, il need them off to have a propa go and thats just going to cost money...starting to think i may need to buy a new set for the money it would cost to get a garage to swap them to standard while i try and get them freed off :(

Well lads im quite surprised ur not fans of the bullets, i like the 2.0 bullets but sometimes thay can look a bit tacky...as for the 2.0 sticker sugestion, no way that would look really tacky, i dont need to prove its a 2 litre lol

I have just picked my 182 up from having its major service today (il be doing a thread in the trader section about that) and i also had a carbon splitter fit which id bought a while back, wanted to wait the snow had gone first lol! My gf bought me a carbon fibre kit for my birthday so i had a go...

the oil leak on the RB i went to look at led me to my BG

look forward to seeing this back up and running Dr Pick, i want turinis more than 2118/s but unsure again after seing those pics.....
