I've had issues with Crucial's, the standard 2.5" don't like Lenovo laptops and cause all sorts of issues and same goes for the mSATA version in Toshiba ultrabooks. so stick to Samsung now
as above, I bombed 2 sandforces few years back when they were really dodgy so I'd avoid ;)
Samsung's are a good shout, use them at work a lot now and very very reliable
Daz - FU ;) its never having side strips and I loved the white wheels ;) but they are gone now, too much to look after!
and the willy wheels I have on the 182 are destined for the turbo now its going road spec, so fear not. I did have it on willy wheels years back too #Daz.
I reckon just try and put the actual Williams wheels on for the giggle. get an idea of colour against the white then as well
I fitted gold willy wheels to my grey mark 1, looked toss, the colours just didn't sit together right!lol!
yeah they should do the job. I usually opt for the stress relief option of hammer a screwdriver through it and bash it undone....however its not strictly recommended as if the end of the filter breaks away completely first, your in a bit of a pickle I wouldn't like to get a novice into ;) lol!
I used Sainsbury's high octane as its usually the closest, but tbh its just the high RON stuff at whatever garage forecourt I happen to pull into when I need fuel
I wouldn't go hunting miles just for vPower in particular is my point
ai, second hand engine can be had for 200 needing belts if you shop about, as engines out the car belts are bit easier so should keep the garage bills down (presume your going to use a garage as sounds like 1600 is a garage price)
do this on flat ground
pretty much all there is to it is warm engine slightly so oil flows out freely. remove sump plug over the oil catch pan/cut up old container and let the lot run out
as its coming out, remove the fuel rail guard to ease access and unscrew the oil filter from the front of...
as above really, ever since my first 172 that ran utter dogshit on anything other than high octane fuel I just always stick the good stuff in, and as said, over the whole tank it adds what, 3 quid?
as above, injector
home mechanic test, run lumpy, remove plugs, note which is sootiest, switch injector from suspect location to new cylinder and clean plugs. refit
run lumpy again and check to see if the sooty plug follows the injector or not
if it does, faulty injector, if it doesn't, faulty...
for reference I run et37 Williams wheels with 15mm front and 10mm rear spacers (so effective et 22 front and et27 rear on cooksports and get very minor scrubbing on rears over hump back bridge type road surfaces
