I would never buy anything that's cheap and would compromise my saftey. Be it tyres or brakes. Ive been driving a 1*2 for 20 years and tried lots of different tyres. Some I've been happy with, some less happy. As I said in my last post the best tyres I've ever had are the Michelin PE2s which...

What's with all the " I'll try and find lots of negative things to say about Avon tyres"? The op wanted some recommendations for tyres. I gave my real life experience of Avon ZV7s. Ok. So they might not be the newest design or technology. But a good tyre back then is still a good tyre now imo...

And.....?

And.....?

Another vote for Avon ZV7s. Good grip in the wet and dry and last longer than some of the softer tyres and only 62 quid a tyre from Camskill. I've got a set on my 182 that have lasted 12k miles. I used to run Rainsports but would only get about 5.5k a set.

I was with Adrian Flux for over 20 years up until last year when their quote was way off the mark compared to confused / Hastings Premier. 🤔

Lose the door decals. Doesn't look right with them.

On the original 182 exhaust the centre silencer was fitted a couple of inches after the cat/ olive joint so I'm guessing that would be the best place to fit one. The original centre silencer was quite a long one too as you can see in the pic. If you're running without a cat that'll also...

Never seen spam like this before on here. Has his account been hacked?

Mines started to go a bit dull again. Oh well. It lasted almost 2 months, still plenty left in the bottle for a few more applications.

I've running TRW front and rear brake pads for a few years and they're very good, never had them fade and last for ages. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362754679607?_trksid=p2504926.m5232.l9681 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173518807748?_trksid=p2504926.m5232.l9681

I use the chassis rails for the front as @dann2707 @Budgie say. Jacking up the rear i drop the car onto axle stands under the rear beam. Never had a problem this way.

Nice write up and info mate 👍

Cheers. (y) I thought that might be the case. I just wanted to hear confirmation.

I hope you don't mind me jumping in on this thread, rather start my own, I'm curious to know. If I change my gearbox oil. Does the Redline mtl 75 w 80 give better protection and would I feel a difference in the gear change compared to the Elf NFJ? Basically is it worth the extra cost...

They're M8 studs with a 13mm nut.

I'm really not keen on how that back box looks. It's hanging way too low imo.

Mine still look the same, they haven't dulled.

You can always tell when they're a " young un" just from the questions they ask. Turns out he's only 18.

I have a Varta Silver in my 182 52Ah CCA 520 https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/varta/c6/?gclid=CjwKCAjwkN6EBhBNEiwADVfyayqqHGu1JfvmdIVb2Dyeojn8hRhxlIrpY_SntGwvSoHWHgM_mYUqBxoColkQAvD_BwE Get Outlook for Android

Looks decent enough from the pics. But as said above., it looks like it's gonna be loud. Looking forward to your opinion when fitted.

Worth a punt at £2.99. I don't need them as I still have plenty of the duxback left but thought I'd get some just to try if I ever need them in future.

There are lots of similar products the more you look into it. I know its only 18 days since I used the duxback but they still look as good :) I saw these on eurocararts going cheap so I've ordered 3 boxes. https://www.eurocarparts.com/search/Optima%20Headlight%20Wipe%20Restoration%20Kit

Or option 3. Ditch the locking wheel nuts for normal wheel bolts. I think the days of nicking alloy wheels are long behind us.

I think i remember that now. Everybody was confused as f**k how it could have been on an 08 plate.

Mine was manufactured in October 2005. I think that's when the last 182s were made. I have some paperwork somewhere with the date on, it's written in French.

Mine was registered on 03.02.06 but on a 55 plate, I did contemplate sticking in my garage for a few weeks so it would be on an 06 plate but really couldn't be without a car for a few weeks. I scoured the country for a new 182 and managed to find 10 new unregistered in 2006. I've seen quite a...

Ive heard a few people say negative things. I've no experience of them so can't say whether it's true or not. You don't seem to hear people recommend them anywhere near like they used to a few years back. EFI or ED always seem to get recommended now as the go to guys. Ive seen it happen alot...
