O.K just got the PC today, now i know i need a transformer so will this do http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=999&MAN=Single-16a-Socket-110v-Transformer-750va
Secondly what about attaching the two pin plug i'm sure i've read somwhere that i cut the plug off and wire a plug on, is this...
Just took them both out within twenty minutes of each other and the ST felt faster in gear,which suprised me a bit but then when i did a bit of research on the old web and the ST is that bit quicker than the R32 in gear accelaration.Both are excellent motorway cruisers.
Don't get me wrong the...
First few gears nothing in it between the 182 and this ,but on motorways just plant your foot down and it just keeps going,
Test drove the R32 aswell but this as more top end punch,thinks that's what i need in a car these days.
Thanks pinched that picture because i don't get mine untill Monday but it's exactly the same but newer.
A lot of people on here don't seem too fond of the ST's but i can tell you there great.A grown ups hot hatch i was feeling too old in my 182:o
Just like to say goodbye,i'm leaving the 182 club to take possesion of a new ST Focus.
Would like to thank everyone who in the past as helped with me my problems,that's car not personal and hope the club goes from strength to strength.
Cheers everyone
Rang another local dealer today to see what they said,they told me it was covered, but they get sent away for repair..But ready for this the last couple took two months to come back, no stereo for two months:banghead:
I'd be happy if they'd do that,the car is going in a couple of months when my new car arrives.just wanted to make sure when i traded it it the stereo worked so they did'nt knock me any money off...
Just booked my car in for it's first service at 12k and 15 months old,and told the dealer that the CD player was not working,
hoping to get it fixed under warranty.To be told that the audio system is only guaranteed for twelve months.
Does anyone know if this is the case and is this the norm...
I'm selling my 182 at the moment for the above reasons,and was going to get a R32 but after a test drive i decided against it.
But i'm not going to sound like a car journalist,fulll of over/under steer stories.But the R32 was no fun i came away without a smile on my face after the test drive...
As the thread title say's,anyone know a good mobile repair firm that will fix my front bumper which as acquired some scuffs on it's own over the weekend and now needs a little paint repair.
I live in the Wakefield area but work in Leeds so either area will do.
Cheers
My 182 stereo is constantly saying CD error every time i put a cd in,anyone know if this is a comon problem before i contact the dealers,i always like to go clued up on these things
I also have a Dension ice link fitted just in case this might be causing any problems.
A lot of the import/car supermarket dealers brought them into the country without cup packs.I live near the Car People in Wakefield and you see loads that they sold without c/packs driving around.
I just remember years ago that i was either told or watched something on TV never to do a puncture repair on cars with any sort of performance but i guess technology may have changed.
Plus the Police never used to repair there tyres they always swapped for new ones,but then again they have...
Just noticed that i've got a nail in my rear off-side tyre,i've allways bought a new tyre when i get a puncture but the rear tyres are like new and only done a couple of thousand miles so thought about a repair.
But does anyone know if puncture repairs make the tyre more likley to blow out or...
Also Direct line told me it was classed as a performance upgarde that's why you should declare them,so that's why they put it down as a Cup due to having same performance.
Direct line insured my f/f 182 as a Cup,but when it got stolen a few months later they tried to pay out on a Cup but i just argued with them and asked them to play back the tape recording of me having problems trying to insure the thing in the first place with cup packs they changed there mind...
Want to buy a speed detector that will pick up mobile units and cops with speed guns.
Don't want to be spending a fortune about the £100 bracket,can anyone recomend a good unit and any pro's and con's or am i just waisting time and money.
Cheers
Gone to top the oil up for the first time ever and had to remove the plastic cover that covers the oil filler cap,any way it looks like you are supposed to lift it off with your finger.But after lots of pulling it's broken off with the spring still in the main shroud.
As anyone had the same...
When i was young used to do it all the time but know grown up a little bit and never do it,but yet still want fog lights on any car i buy.The child inside us never leaves us..
The Dension kit's wire can come out directly from the back of the cradle and the the gap between the fascia that hold's the hazzard/door lock/rear screen and the top right of the corner of the h/u i fed the cable through there.
When i orderd mine i wanted the cup suspension pack but keep the silver wheels the Dealer wouldn't entertain it and would only sell me the silver wheels as extras.
So to have a cup suspension pack with silver wheels is doudt full or very expensive.
