^^^^ Agree . Now the wait is over for the new RS i think people are finding it abit of a let down compared to the 182 . I'm sure i remember some threads a while back about how much the 197 will affect the second hand value of 182's :rasp:

^^^^ Good luck mate . Let us know how ya get on .

£2225 ish .

Like the man says ! http://www.aerotecheng.com/

The screw will probably be a bit tight after 5 years , but torx heads are usually pretty good for not slipping and rounding , just make sure you put plenty of pressure on it so it doesn't give it chance to slip out and it should be ok .

Torx screw holds em on . Can't remember the size off the top of my head , might be a 25 or 30 .Sometimes they feel like they are still stuck on after you've taken the screw out , it'll probably be rusted on , give a few hard hits with a hammer , or try with the screws undone and the caliper...

I agree with whats been said . You do ge used to it , some days it doesn't feel anything special speed wise , then others it seems to fly especially on b roads . The best time to appreciate how quick they are is after its been in for a service and you've had a little 1.2 Clio or even worse a...

They don't have to replace it , not straight away anyway . The warranty will cover a repair . If it fails a 2nd time or 3rd or maybe even 4th then you can start to ask for a replacement as you have given them a reasonable amount of attempts to repair it .You can ask for a replacement but you'll...

Had my 182 for 6 months now , use it everyday , and i floor it everyday , most of the time tbh . I did the same with my 172 for 48k . No point having a car that will shift if your gonna drive like a granny imo .

Yeah bearings are part of the discs . You can either get them pressed out and pressed back into the new discs or buy discs with the bearings already in . Heres a guide . You won't need the abs ring on your discs obviously with yours being a cup .The guide says a 30mm hub nut but thats on a...

Lumpy idle is a characteristic of the 172/182's mate .It should be 850rpm + or - 50rpm when warmed up .

You'll find out what brakes they have at the rear when you come to change the discs , then you'll wish they did have 1.2/1/4's lol ;)

Awwww i'm so pleased for you . Hope you don't forget to pack your opal fruits and your wet wipes , or did your dad do that for you as well :clown:

If you've got mods declare em , otherwise if you need to claim you'll find your insurance is void so you'll have paid alot of money to the insurance company for nothing , you might as well not pay the insurance in the first place if your that stupid .

I use a mix of shampoo and water , spray on the dried bugs and let them soften up and rehydrate while i spray my wheels and get the pressure washer ready . Then they usually come off no problem with the pressure washer , also like Karen says the back of the megs lambswool mitt with the mesh...

What do you mean exactly ? What changes ?? You either sell yout car with road tax or you cash in your road tax at the post office and get some money back .

.........and then the boy woke up from another wet dream :approve:

Having owned both 172 and 182's mate and driven 1.2's and 1.4's i can safely say that they do seem to brake better . As i said , its because they only have tiny little engines ;) so there's fcuk all weight to stop :rasp: I suggest you ask a grown up if you can have a go in one , thats if...

Free up to 2mb and 2gb usage a month £5.00 up to 8mb , usage 40gb a month £10.00 up to 16mb , usage unlimited ( fair usage policy )

I've had a few courtesy cars , clio 1.2's , 1.4's and the brake always feel a bit sharper . I think its something to do with having alot less weight in the engine compared to the 172 / 182's .

ooops sorry mate , didn't know it was you selling them .How come your selling em , have you gone for upgraded ones ? I guess if there's only 1/2 a mm wear on em they would be a good buy .

Tbh mate i wouldn't touch second handbrake discs . The ebc ultimax pads are just standard replacement pads . I'd rather go for the greenstuff if i was buying any .

Its the fronts edde that he's been told need replacing . Rears are 8mm new , minimum 7mm .

Sounds alright the one you posted Maz . He's probably out raggin' the arse off it before he sells it , lol . Like ya say , cambelts been changed but i'd need to see a receipt to prove it .Private seller so i would try to get him down by at least £300 , always try and find a fault when viewing a...

Agree with edde . If its only happening when you've got full lock on sounds like the brake lines are getting a kink in them some how .

Google it . Found these , don't know if they are any good ?? http://www.appleblossomart.com/aquariumscreens.htm

5th one down looks ok . Personally i wouldn't want to go much higher than 40k miles .Being from a trader and if he's paying cash i would think he might struggle to knock the price down , all depends how much profit margin the garage has to play with and if he's had in in stock for a long while ...

^^^^ If you can do all that brakes would be a walk in the park mate .

Can't you get somebody to give you a hand , changing the discs ( if they need doing which i very much doubt ) and pads is dead easy . Get a haynes manual , same principle for all discs and pads . I'd give ya a hand but your a few hundred miles away , lol .

Just renewed mine last week with Adrian Flux , the renewal quote went up £125 from last year , full no claims , no points . Got a quote off privilege online so Adrian Flux beat it , got it down from £595 to £430 , £40 cheaper than last year plus lower excess and unlimited mileage :) Ring...
