Thats interesting! I was thinking that with the HH championship, as you don't have to have the control ECU, Top mounts and Coilovers, then that's £2k less to start... I'm only thinking of having a go, not being competitive, so it seemed in that context to be at least a cheaper way to get...

Been reading this with a view to having a go myself... KTEC championship seems really expensive, having got a quote from KTEC for all the parts! I know you can shop around for some parts, but even so looks like £10k plus a car!! Interesting that you have moved to the hot hatch championship...

Usual suspects all lighting up periodically! They were coming on more often too. The wiring under the passenger seat has been repaired, but I was expecting to have another go sometime... Whilst changing the front discs I found that the front nearside caliper was very near seized solid...

Pleased to hear too! Same here really, but more on the house side of things at the moment. New kitchen time, but hopefully plenty of brownie points too :p Plenty of toy related things to do🏍🚗🚑 next...

Ha ha! We are thanks, and you?

Looking good Mike...but, I'm sure you'll find Inferno is the fastest colour ;)

Inferno 182 Cup. 79,000 miles. MOT until October and advisories attended to with genuine parts. FSH and belts done about 2.5 years ago. Turini wheels with PS3's and decent tread! Ktec Janspped cat back... Full 182 Alcantara interior... Otherwise standard car in fantastic condition! Will be for...

Dredd... I have some carbon external bits that came with my 182 that I'm looking to sell... Fog light surround covers. Headlight washer covers. Exhaust cutout covers. Splitter. Rear bumper insert cover and steering wheel Renaultsport badge plus thumb grips... Let me know if you're...

I bought a £130 full chip version off ebay. Works great, especially if I connect to car before turning on laptop and clip. Bought an old mindows 7 laptop (32bit) as advised by seller. Think he was Charles Michaels, but doesn't appear to have anything listed at the moment!

Might try some 8mm diameter copper pipe I happen to have!

Great video...thanks for that! Mine is slightly different in that the pick pipe attaches to a screw in brass fitting, so it would be easier to change it. Looks like the correct HDPE pipe is tricky to get in anything less than industrial quantities, but will have a proper look. What a shame it...

I usually use a litre too. Hadn't thought of pipe shrinking, but maybe it has. Seems to be made of hard plastic, like the main vessel, but yeah maybe! Never leave fluid in it either. Took it apart to see if it had risen up or something, but it's screwed in from the top and seats properly. Hope...

Done that too, but need another bod and keep an eye on resevoir level! In theory, the pressure bleeder should be easier and now I know it's weak point, hopefully it will!

Having had this for a few years now and used it successfully quite a few times... A warning to check yours! The pick up pipe in mine doesn't reach to the bottom of the vessel...by about 20mm, so it seems I've been lucky in the past, whereas a month ago it pushed air into the MC and ABS on my...

I'm getting that distinct impression! Am making enquiries with Fastchip and a couple of ebay sellers and will look at buying something, unless someone local enough can help...

MODS, realised I should have put this in Technical, so please move it...sorry! Thanks for those ideas, but tried them! Story is...got air into MC thanks to pick up pipe in pressure bleeder stopping about 20mm from the bottom...aargh!!! Garage reckoned MC goosed , so they changed it but the...

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me please! Live in Shropshire and think I need someone who can bleed the ABS pump on my 182. Tried all the tricks that I can find on here and getting nowhere! Anyone able to help? Happy to pay of course... Thanks Nick

My 05 black 182 with 28k went for £8500 privately in August...felt lucky to get that!

The rear set are new and the front set have 10mm of friction material left! I would combine postage costs! Fronts; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180155434612&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=008 Rears...

Mine was nearside balljoint, did it all the time though! Diagnosed and fixed by dealer :approve:

Yeah, I'm jealous...I hold my head in shame at having such a heap now that the hugely improved new model is out. Having driven one though I didn't notice anything special apart from the brakes so it would be wasted on me...! It's progress, some good, some bad thanks in part to legislation...

:approve: More skills required if your brakes save you from a crash too often.

I just remind myself how relatively cheap the car was!! Jobs been done today...all seems good now :approve: Infact dealer has diagnosed and fixed problem first time...hope i'm not speaking too soon!!

Mine is doing the same, although it does it from cold too. Dealer have diagnosed a nearside balljoint which is going to be changed under warranty:) Cars two years old and done 25K...and four trackdays! (they don't know about that!!)

i think they have to debug the system and then regas it as necessary...just wondered if this evaporator can be cleaned easily as the aircon works really well still!

Thanks Tom... any ideas on the evaporator please?

My 182's just had it's 24K service and the dealer mentioned the above. I assume it's part of the air con system and was wandering if it's an easy DIY job? I've got access to a pit if needed! Also curious as to where the pollen filter is? Thanks...

Recommended....Elite Car Care I ordered Klasse AIO on Thursday at 11pm which arrived on Saturday morning! Very impressed with the speed, value for money and service! Got 5% discount too...cliosport!

Was pleased to find this offer on today when I popped into the Telford branch :approve:

think it was you...yesterday afternoon heading south on the EP. Overtook you in the works van...otherwise somebodies wondering why they were being flashed!!!
