Try your local motor factors for the pads . Mine as always been cheaper than anywhere else i've looks . Just seen greenstuff rear pads for £36.00 , or original ebc ( standard ) for £23.00 .
I'm pretty sure i've seen the greenstuff fronts for £45.OO , just can't remember where now ,lol ...
You could try the new ebc greenstuff pads for the front , keeps your wheels alot cleaner . The new versions are supposed to be good , i used the older versions on a Pug 306 , never had a problem with em , the front wheels where always miles cleaner than the back wheels as well , no problems with...

Thats where i'll be goin in 18 months time when the Renault exhaust drops off on my new 182 !

I used to use toyo proxes T1 -r's and T1- s's on my old 172 . Not very good in the wet to be honest mate . Got a 182 with exaltos on now , WOW , what a f*ckin big difference :)

More trouble than they are worth . You'll just get yourself into deeper sh*t if your caught using one .
Nationwide autocentre are a bunch of f*ckin thievin muppets in Blackburn .
I'd ask to look at the parts , i'd bet they are their own brand ( Halfrauds ) .
Quick look on google .
Have you got roxio dvd creator or have you installed any new drivers lately ?

Sounds like a windows related issue rather than your dvd writer , especially if its still burning cd's. Did you try uninstalling / reinstalling shrink , or look for a newer version of shrink .
Clonedvd's better than shrink imo , a couple of clicks and its done :)
I've never pulled a laptop...
Its in the engine bay (drivers side ) on the opposite side to where the screen wash bottle is under a black plastic cover , behind the brake fluid bottle ,held down with some clips .
Brass is a good conductor of electricity , must have been sending an electrical impulse thro' the brass when it was touchin the heat shield .??
Couldn't you have just bagged it up ? I've never had my lambda sensor disconnected so i'm not sure what problems that can occur other than the wrong...
I sold my 172 private on autotrader in February for £5900 a dealer offered me £4000 , i said are you havin a laugh and told em to forget it . If you can sell private do it ,you'll have alot more cash for your new motor :)
Got your pm mate .
F*ck that sounds expensive just to reroute the wiring . Was the lambda sensor just tied up out of the way before ?
One consolation , if it was that , is that it wasn't anything major f*cked up with the engine causing the problem .
The prices of 182's will drop whether there is a new clio RS model out or not , but imo the new mk3 RS won't affect the price of 182's much if any because its a completely different car , not like when they updated from the 172 to the 182 which was basically the same car revamped a little ...
How come you went for a red hillpower bend , don't that think a black one with the strutbrace sprayed black would match the rest of the engine bay better ?
Looks good though :)
A good tip when your puttin in new plugs is to use a piece of 10mm plastic tubing on the end of the plug to start it on the threads , don't use the plug socket straight away . Then if you do cross thread it it spins on the end of the plug and won't let you screw it in , if it does go on the...
