yeah i was giving it away for free but a mod deleted the thread, so i took peoples advice on here and put it on ebay at no reserve listing everything up with it etc and i got a call saying someone would bring me 2500 tonight for the car. so i just said yes.
i had every intention of giving it...
reciept says "sold as seen" and also "road tested" and its dated and signed
he wrote it all out, seemed to know what he was doing. i assume he was a trader and had the idea of selling it straight on at 3k+
think i just feel a touch guilty cause i told him i'd been driving round for ages and i mean 1000+ miles with the noise which we diagnosed on here as being thrust bearing or driveshaft
it wasnt getting any worse and i happily gave it a thrash on test drive and he was happy
i "think" the car...
sold my 182 couple of days ago and and got a phone call next day from the guy saying the gearbox has gone.
although i feel a little bad about it, it was just pure bad luck on the guys behalf. cause its a private sale and sold as seen im covered arent i?
i did mention before that there was a...
my prob is a pinging/ squeaking which sounds like it coming from under neath but towards the engine
its almost like a alien type weird squeak thats quite high pitch :S
on heavy acceleration it happens especially 1st ,2nd, gears right through the revs, can make it do it in 3rd gear but not as...
the problem is not as bad today, just taken it for a drive and i think it may have been there a while without me noticing? its only last couple of days ive driven without air con or cd player on so the car was quiet. its still there when you press clutch in but not getting any worse.
my main...
only had the 182 a few weeks and barely used it
was driving today and dipped the clutch and heard a noise, like grinding/scraping sound or kind of noise you'd imagine to hear on a rusty bearing with no grease on it being turned
It goes away when you lift the clutch and only happens if your...

yeah they are 14's sorry my mistake (again). i always do that even on the gtir forum. must have made that same mistake ten times now! good job ive never bought tyres online for it or i'd ebd up with wrong size lol
someone told me they were 13 inch wheels years ago and its just stuck in my...
small world jez if you are who i think you are! im guessing so as says your from stoke!

right i have had the ehaust resealed at joint and its now alot quieter which is nice.... but that light is still on!
i also looked under car when it was up in the air and both lambda senses are still plugged in
my decat has a hole where one plugs in! so both are still attached
any ideas now?
cheers vicky sounds like thats what has happened to mine.
the exhaust is blowing though so gonna get it resaled tomorrow and might just live with the light for time being.
does annoy me though looking at it... very frustrating :)
the decat was on when i bought it though???? and light wasnt on then?
i'd say ive done 50+ miles in it and its only just come on... does it take a while to register? i think the lad had the decat on for few thousand miles before i bought it
ive looked at decat under car and it looks like...
just pulled up at petrol station and car was driving great, low on fuel so pulled up and chucked 20 quids worth of superunleaded in.
started car and drove off. noticed 30 secs later(i assume its been on since i put the fuel in) that the light on the dash in the bottom right that looks like a...
well the sunny tyre turned up in post this morning and im getting it fitted and both fronts balanced on saturday so i'll give a report:)
good too know you got on well with yours cliorep. im sure they will be fine :)
thanks mate very helpful
shall i just zip tie it up and forget about it then as i dont mind them not working, its hardly end of world :) cant see me being able to get my hand up there to re attach it
thats what i thought? do they have an overflow cause if not then thats gotta be plugged in somewere!
they are just below the front bumper on the front passenger side
hanging down and sure they should not be there :)
im 99% sure one is battery overflow as someone here told me in another post but the otehr one (white end) is confusing me as im sure it must plug in somewhere
thanks
on my clio 182 its blowing at one side so its got to come off to reseal, might sell it and put a cat back on
any idea how much these are worth second hand?
do they alter performance much or are we talking 2bhp but everyone says 20bhp more lol
thanks
yeah selston is not far from me!
got a sunny tyre ordered so will get the hole front balanced and tracked when its put on next week
still cant work out if it has the suspension or not :S
someone said to measure hub spacer too see if its 54mm or 60mm but i realised when i got near the wheel...
