@T9 0LLE if I recall correctly your Monaco was a bloody good price at the time. I also recall saying you were mad to sell it🤣. Are you after a certain colour or would any good condition one fill the void?

Tried and tested seems like a good route to follow. What wheels you go for could affect your choice though.

Yep thread title needs fixing. Meg looks nice, clio looked better 😂.

No way an 08 182 would pass emissions. Euro regs changed in 2006 so it wouldn't have survived past its first mot. Was it a converted campus by any chance?

Original water pump will have done well to last this long. Can't hurt to change it though.

An 06 pb has to be as rare as 182's get. I wonder how that one came to be as I doubt the colour was available to order late in 05 when production of the regular 182 was winding down.

Is it silver by any chance? All the 06 plate ones will have been made in 05 and just sat unsold. Most of the ones I've seen are silver which was seen as the least desirable colour (god knows why as they look smart imo) and the 197 was available on a 06 plate.

Spotted this on the old socials. Autotrader are giving away an electric car a month starting with a Tesla model 3in May. Just sign up with your secondary email to avoid all the spam and good luck 👍...

Uh oh, parts cannon alert! 😂

Nah, £2k min. You'd have to be buying a right shitter to be paying around a grand for a 172 these days. It looks tidy enough and with fresh belts on it already that's a big plus point. The wheels are s**t though 😂.

The old girl is looking great Mark👍. Just shows you can never stop looking after them now they are getting on a bit.

Nice car Phteve👍. Wasn't it a white ph2 200t edc non 220 trophy that bounced off the nurburgring armco and was then for sale at some car supermarket? I'm sure you ran it through vcheck though before bruying it.

Got to love CS threads when they go waaaaaaaaaay off course😂😂.

Takes keys and points to waiting room😂.

People skills were never his strong point!😂

I met Paul 26 years ago before RS Tuning existed. If you think it's strange that he can map a megane in half an hour let me tell you that's because he's done all the leg work on them decades ago. A 20 odd year old megane still maps like a 20 odd year old megane, it's no different. I'm sure if...

Yeah if you can buy a working cup for £2k you've got very lucky imo.

Oddly I didn't notice any brassy bits. Now to decide on the best way to remove the box without adding too much extra work to the job.

Dropped the gearbox oil today. I could probably weigh in what came out with it. Lots of metal speks and some rather hefty lumps. I guess the chances of a dead cv being my issue are slim. 😩

@andybond can tell you what RS Tuning are like these days.

675.1 isn't too bad with those mods. 👍😂

It's definatly a strange noise. I have nothing helpful to suggest I'm afraid 😂.

I thought we'd established decades ago that RR power figures were folly. Car drives better than it did before remap, job done. RR shows more power than before, great. Figures not what's expected, yeah that'll be because RR measurements aren't all that accurate, some are just hopeless. Enjoy the...

Leave it. Any extra horsepower in a clio is a welcome bonus no? 🤣

@Romanian Tyre Fitter has a spare 182 and my mate is selling a 172 cup https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284271749165

It's been a while since the breakdown and I still don't know what's wrong. That may be because I've avoided pulling parts off to see what doesn't work. In a moment of madness the other week I did decide to pull the rear cards off and have a peer into the abyss hoping to not see any rust. What I...

Oh. I thought rpd had one side and the other place had the other side. This is v confusing🥴.

Order both, use the one you need and sit on the other until its worth £200 then sell while laughing heartily. Simples.

Be reet, just don't crash the car👌.
