and another http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2288751.htm No service history at all, I hung up at that point

I asked... Never had the belts done. Only had one service. FAIL

lmfao, thats the most epic reply I've seen for a while

housepower!!! WAAAAAP lol

Selling will take an utter age though.... And from what I've seen depreciation on a catD/C is harder than a non bent car. tbh I'c only go down the c/d car route for a track car that you wont really worry about lol

given the time and faff getting it lined up right etc, I'd simply pay the £300 as thats pretty good value imho

the type of damage is almost irrelevant for the categories as I have a Cat C car there that you would barely notice the damage on!!!! just the value of the car VS repair costs went to the C route not the D... That said, I wouldnt touch a CAT car with a barge pole regardless of the repair...

as said, try unplugging a wheel speed sensor... it will light the ABS light on the dash but with luck you will keep vehicle speed but drop ABS off. If it dosent work simply plug back in and jobs a goodun

Plain pikey cheap n nasty discs + great pads is the weapon of choice... treat the disc as the consumable these days

lol the MOT will take about 10hours with having to strap down to a dyno, fit the relevant sensors and then do an 8hour cold soaked start for a NEDC to find the emissions..... I dont think thats going to happen.

with other cars if you take an abs sensor plug off you send it into error mode and turns off (bar things like speedo etc if you dont take the sensor out that does that job).

That was 2 years ago's effort lol.... I've only washed it 3 times since then but its stayed pretty clean this year unfortunately :(

Any chance of the alignment settings being publicised? :D hmm 172 cup + wife + winter/snow = tears surely lol

Well the asking/selling price might not change much, but it will sure as hell be a LOT harder to sell. I literally hung up on someone today when they said they didnt have any history for the car. From what I've noticed over the past month, spangly perfect FSH etc, 04/05 182's are NOT selling...

Graphite lock powder for sorting locks rather than WD40/other spray crap

but first to see WILL buy!!!!!! lol Kinda getting irritated by that in adverts

check for a leaky camshaft cover :)

To maybe save some time for folks I shall put some heads ups on the following...

I'm looking to buy (not a 172 lol), and have seen a couple of cars on ebay but I flat refuse to buy a 'decent' car from there.... I think many others are of that mindset too. I'm looking on here, PH and autotrader for cars, and I'd imagine you would get a sale off one of those three. Although...

I've played with oen of those... its'ok' for checking your camber but I wouldnt want to do a good setup with it. Ripp, any chance of a PDF or something of your gauge so we cna all have a go at making one please :)

Bet you could make the fancy pants brands feel awful with great ease ;)

lol, you will be VERY hard pushed it impress/please me (im a total s**t of a customer lol) but Gaz have.... I'll see what I can get from them for my 182 if I fancy deviating from OEM.

I trust youve had a proper play with the springs and damping? since the wrong springs on even the best dampers in the world will make it feel dog turd. The stuff they supply for the vx220s took a few iterations of springs to get just right, its all part of the R&D stuff. Plus their customer...

holy shoite, that must be totally manic then!!!! Russ's was utterly bonkers (or he was at the very least lol)

note, I've not managed to kill my pikey £3/litre 5.1 stuff and I thrape the life out of my brakes...Managed to boil some normal dot 4 when bedding in some PFB 97's ffs, didnt get a hint of that with the 5.1 Not a huge fan of the OO lot, their 'advice', but thats my humble opinion and you all...

Wouldnt be Russ's nova perchance? Was a 1.6 8v then went to 1.4 16v on 48's ? Mad man :)

errrrrr sidewall and "thicker tyre" are the same part ;) But the middle number is simply a %age of the width.... so a 205/45 WONT have the same wall as a 195/45.

the advice being 'buy what we sell' rather than anything of actual use lol

hmmmmm What would you charge to check the timing is right? and how long would that take?

Ahh I was under the impression the renault tool was well into the hundreds of pounds... I'll get a proper renault one then. I'd sooner check myself than have to travel a long way to a half decent specialist etc
