I wouldn't say they are rubbish . You just won't get massive gains like people hope or believe and like the manufacturers would like you to believe . At the end of the day the 182 obviously has 10bhp more than the 172 , and the 182 is only slightly faster than the 172 ;)

LNB's are cheap , but like sneeks says , your dish might be just a couple of millimetres out of line which bearing in mind the satellite is 1000's of miles away , so thats why the signal would be weak . If it is the LNB go for one with lower db , 0.6db or less ...

Whether they give any increase in bhp is debatable , eve if they do it wouldn't bevery much so you won't see a massive increase in performance . If you want it to make a nice noise then go for it . I've just fitted a k+n apollo today , sounds sweet ;)...

I wouldn't go down the glass mirror route . You'd be better off with using acrylic mirrors .Its not cheap though . http://www.diyplastics.com/plasticmirrorproducts.htm Do a search on google for either makrolon , polycarbonate sheet or acrylic sheet . We used to make it years ago .It is...

Greenstuff brake pads give off very little dust . You can get em from : https://secure.gsfcarparts.com They are the same pads as the meganes . I think you get CS discount as well . Part number is R64276FG

^^^^ Cheers mate . Appreciate the info , might have a look for one myself :)

I didn't say it was definite , just what somebody on here once said , that the connection on the cabasse ( update ) was different than the older tuner list .

I just fitted a k+n apollo today to my 182 . Sounds really good when you hit 4k revs , only fed the caf down behind the headlight , can't b arsed fcukin around running to the front grill , might do oneday when i have the time and patience .

I think it depends on what headunit you have . The newer 182's have the cabasse update list headunit and as far as i know they have a different lead and connection on the back of the unit from the older tuner list head units . I've heard the leads are £85 from Renault , thats if they will sell...

Doesn't do anything for me . The wheels look good , the Recaros look great but the car looks boring . Not as nice as the 182 imo .

Turtle wax " Wax it Wet " is good stuff when your in a hurry and don't have much time to wash , dry , wax etc ..... Just wash the car , leave it wet , spray in on and wipe over with a microfibre cloth and your done . Leaves the car looking really good , water beads off as good as any of more...

^^^^ Sorry , didn't read all the thread , lol :rasp:

When the windows update box comes up , read what the updates are . If you have a dodgy copy of xp uncheck the box for windows genuine advantage verification , nice way of wording " checking for illegal copy " , lol . If you've already installed it you might be fcuked . I just use a litlle...

^^^^ Nice one . I used to get roughly 28 mpg round town in my mk2 172 and about 36mpg combined with motorway / town . Now on my new 182 i average about 24 ish mainly round town , less motorway miles since i dumped the g/f , lol , but i do drive the 182 a bit harder than i did with my 172 .

^^^^ How much improvement would ya say on your mpg ?

^^^^ Which way do ya go up to the Tower ? The Sunnyhurst route or behind Bold Venture park ?

NTL says everybody " should " be upgraded by the end of June . I've just checked their website and it says i'm on 4mb now . I've just done a speed test and i'm still on 2mb which i'm happy with , never had a problem with NTL and been with em about 3 1/2 years , can't wait for 4mb though ;)...

^^^^ Darwen , lol ;)

Nice pics . Years since i've been up to the Tower ;) http://homepage.ntlworld.com/follies/darwen.html

Nice one . Any idea how much the bottom grill is for the 172 / 182 ??

^^^^ Do you know if it is the standard exhaust or maybe the previous owner fitted and aftermarket exhaust ? Could be the cause of the rattle . Not sure about the temp up n down , could be just a faulty sensor . If your still under warranty i'd take it to your local dealers to find out...

They are 280mm mate !

Still don't like it , don't think i ever will . Much prefer 172 / 182's .

Nice one Ally :) Glad you got it sorted .

I've been using some new products from carwashnwax I'm impressed with the extreme body wash shampoo . I use a lambswool mitt , not a sponge . Use the 2 bucket method , 1 bucket with the shampoo and water in and 1 with clean water which you rinse the mitt out as you go along ...

Don't quote me on this , but i'm sure one is 150mm long and the other 200mm , not sure why ones the longer than the other , it was ages ago i looked at bmc's .

Your probably better off phoning them really . But ithink that one is slightly longer than the other .

^^^^ I think Matt Black is the first website i posted above ???

Try your local dealers , they might sell em , or have a look round a scrap yard and nick one , lol ;) Stick some duck tape over for the time being .

^^^^ Yeah , thats em . The 2 black plastic grommets one either side .Check your spare wheel well also for water . Take out the grommets , silicone sealant around the holes , pop the grommets back in and leave your tailgate open for as long as ya can until the sealant cures .
