Be good if someone made a small weld in panel really, common issue I'd guess this will become. If I can't fix it cheap, scrap time, flol

Got the rears in today, one was snapped and the upper near side rear platform is basically gone, rotted off so that may be a nail in the coffin come MOT time..... Anyone know if you can get repair panels for the spring mounts?! Checked rear brakes over, calipers all free and cables fine...

Changed front abs rings as fuuuuuuucked

Doesn't say it's cat D so that's a bit naughty

Bit more done today, replaced the abs rings up front and fitted my eibach prolines. One ring was cracked which I'm hoping was my low speed intermittent abs kick in issue, will find out when I go out tomorrow. Replaced both sides though to be sure as other one was well loved too. And lol at the...

looks great, just grab some fabric paint in black and spray that bulkhead panel :)

you just need the 7 or 8 degree inlet one for 197 cams, not group N, group N is for stock cams and moves the exhaust cam too

just caught up again, keep the updates coming :)

Autoglm fabric paint matey, can see it in first pic lying on engine, lol. Passes 5ft test, not perfect but for twenty seconds work well worth it

Death van ftw

Spent hour or so today around lunch cleaning engine bay up. Works completed: - Removed the airbox and peeled all the silver tape crap off, which took aaaaages!lol! - Removed inlets and rattle can painted aluminium effect paint - Degreased and wiped down most of the bay - Fabric painted the...

I'm a picky bastid is the issue probably! No reflection on you chap, the cars overall in great nick and drives lovely. I just like things how I like things! Flol, it is a bit like that really, crazy Clio guy on the estate.

Evens out between the odyssey and this :ROFLMAO:

Looking at tractor spec arch gap too I'm wholly convinced that the spring was replaced in January for a none sport one, its ridiculous as you can see above :ROFLMAO:

Quick pic in the brief dry today and the list..... - Replace osr light cluster light- DONE - Attempt bend osr mounting for bumper straight - Think bumper at fault - Deep clean engine bay - Paint inlet and fuel guard - Fit engine cover - Fabric paint bulkhead panel - Deep clean front seat...

My new Tit

Just seen this @KitsonRis did you sort the issue? There is a sequence to recode a plip issue, search the forums. I need my spare one sorting, but for starting car too, what auto locksmith did you use?

If it's anything like the earlier cars it's probably unfixable without rebuilding the box, so just monitor, top up and send it

Welcome.... You

Ordered (y)

Me again.... So it begins once more, 3.5 years ago I picked up a phase 1 172 from @boomerbang2006 in Odyssey Blue with intent in all honesty to kill it for spares and make some money. 3.5 years on i'm 5 grand into that one and it's a lovely thing, nearly complete and all it needs is paint to...

I presumed it was series restricted :ROFLMAO: In all seriousness though outstanding work and the attention to detail and correcting all the little niggles is the mark of a true pro. Nice one

They're just s**t really, but tbh don't need to be good. When dipped there's other stuff on road so use that to navigate :ROFLMAO:

As above, I never pay retail for aftermarket, so think all my magnecor came free with deals, along with some dags. Found two more sets in shed actually this week

Just read this entire thread properly for the first time..... So much work and dedication.... Should of boosted it :p

My brand new leads decided to break (genuine Renault) so the 182 is on some used magnecor I found in the shed that I can't even remember where they came from, maybe a breaker a few years ago and working mint

Mega, looking forward to the project

you need proper clip, not just a cheap ODB2 reader to get the correct information from the car really. but those two codes mean open circuit on both bags which does point to the rotary switch at fault

less than a 1/4 of the mileage on my 182 🤣

you need a proper clip doing, find a local specialist with the right software to plug the car in and read the faults or you are just swinging blind
