I've a set of Rota Slipstreams for sale. They're black, 16" and are a direct replacement for 182 alloys. Ebay item number 180295505701

Well, I've been and looked at a Seat Leon Cupra K1 today... I'm in love! White, with black alloys. 240 PS. Tis a beast!!!

Mine has the original splitter... all be it in two parts now. I'd market it as "easier to remove" rather than broken... It's all subjective! ;-)

For the record - tied Motormania - they can't get hold of handbrake cables for 182s - thus the whole issue of trying to locate one, and the bloody main stealers taking (now) two weeks to get me a set of handbrake cables! Bloody crazy!

Yeah -bugger. lots to think about... Cheers all for your honesty.

I was thinking of trying to sell it privatly though? Maybe through pistonheads or something. I'd try and aim it at the modder - I know if I sold it part-ex or even to a garage, I'd get a lot less than that.

hey all, I'm in a state of dilema at the moment. I've spent a fare whack on my 182 over the last few months, but each time i've been plagued with problems. The latest being I'm having problems getting new handbrake cables as one has snapped, and the other was stretched. Anywho, I've now...

Yeah - that's what I thought - AH! I'm thinking it's fudged as really badly frayed. What's the verdict on using other cables on it? Are the handbrake cables specific for the 182?

I did have... right up until we took that side off also. I'm now driving around without a handbrake at all. Ah well, guess it's a phone call to the main stealers then...

Guys? Can anyone help?

Hi all, Really need some help here. I've snapped one of my handbrake cables, and have just jacked it up to look at the damage. The one side, is totaly gone (which had snapped), but the other side is corroded to hell. Problem is, I can't find anywhere that stocks handbrake cables for the 182...

It would beat a 172 - it's a 5.3 litre engine, developing god knows how much torque. it might only be around 175hp, but it's the torque that gets you on the motorway. 1*2s only develop around the 200Nm marque - that thing is probably around 200 ft/lbs!

That's what I thought. Think it's one to one of the wheels as still got some braking, but just loads of play. Wondering if one of the cables has stretched, which is why all the load was going on one cable, causing it to break. I have had some strange creaking noises from it over the last week or so.

Well, I've just pulled up at work, went to pull my handbrake on, and "SNAP". Its bust! I dunno at this stage if its the attachment on the handbrake lever or the cable (do they have cables?) I dunno... puncture yesterday! They say it comes in threes...

did it have a white splodge on the bonet and a loud exhaust?

Ouch is all I have to say. 9pVmdR85O3I

clunk when pulling off??? you wanna see a doctor about that!!! Sorry couldn't resist. Engine mounts are an option, but it could be the CV joint on the drivers side. Have you tried jacking it up, leaving it in gear and turning the wheel on the drivers side - if it has any play I'd say it's the...

Hi all, I finally bit the bullet and got a stainless steel cat-back system for my 182. Had a look around the area, and decided to go for a MIJ Performance one. Fitted ok (or so I thought), but I've discovered today that it's blowing from around one of the welds (which they discovered when I had...

Hey all, I'm servicing my 182 this weekend - doing the points, filters and oil, but the question is, which oil should I use. I'm thinking of using 5w40 fully synthetic stuff (yes, I know there isn't such a thing as "fully synthetic", but hey), and I was wondering, any difference between...

I've gone one better - black electrical tape - looks ace :cool: I'm the man!

Mine died yesterday - had already tried to repair it previously (thus the resin under the rubber). Mine's out of warrenty now, and has been for 12 months. Doesn't look too pretty. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27641832@N08/sets/72157605555270758/ Anyone know anyone who'll retrim a 182 wheel?

they'll be on the way down to Brands Hatch as it's the Touring Cars this weekend, and the Clio Sport is a support race.

Heading towards hinkley on the A5. I was sat in the traffic going the opposite way- Black Gold 182 with damaged "white spot" on bonnet. Didn't see any RS clios at rockingham today.

yeah - was me - not been on for a while! Power to the CS Fylers!!! ;)

No-one had a similar problem? I can't believe I'm the only one who's had problems with their washer nozzle? How easy is it to replace?

Hey all. just found out my headlight washer nozzle is leaking. How easy are these to replace? its cracked, and I'm guessing its cause of cold weather. the other one went last winter, but had it fixed under warrenty then. Its out of warrenty now! typical!

bumpy anyone?

I've got his details already, but was after font cause I've got kit to make up a stencil. I'm going for silver painted letters on black-gold engine cover. body coloured engine parts FTW! anyone know what the font's called?

Hey all. Doesanyone have the font that was used on the engine cover for the 16v and 2.0l on the 182? if so, would they be willing to send it? Im respraying my engine cover and having the original font would help. cheers. mb182
