Some F*(£(*R has rubbed up against my car while trying to park.. I think i might be able to sort it out with some t-cut and polish etc.
Question is, has anybody ever used t-cut on a black/gold 182? were the results ok? Will it damage the paint further?
Thanks
well, since my last post http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=394779 the garage replaced some relays and cleared the event log and away i went. I have since broken down again (a fun filled 4 hours on the m4) and the rac chap suspects it is the alternator as I am only showing 12.06V at...
Hi,
My 182 broken down in spectacular fashion last night leaving me stranded for a couple hours! I was stuck in traffic for about 10 mins crawling along in 1st gear when my ABS, ESP, SERVICE, and then the stop light came on. Being french:dapprove:, i assumed a re-start might solve the problem...
Anybody had any good experience of a local garage? i would normally head to rentec but i just don't have the time at the moment and the service is due now. Anywhere between slough, reading etc let me know.
Thanks
How much is it going to cost to get a proper wheel refurb for two of my alloys? They have seriously deep scratches all the way around and across nearly all the spokes.
Thanks.
The tyre place managed to bend both sills back to about a 45 degree angle, never mind that they scratched both front alloys aswell:mad:!!!!. The manager said he is going to have somebody look at it on monday and get them repaired if need be. So, is this a specialist job, what will actually get...
Should the cap be 100% airtight? I noticed today that after some prolonged action that i had some bubbles and a bit of fluid escaping from the area where the fluid sensor passes through the cap? It was by no means a lot, but I just want to be sure that my cap isn't faulty.
as much as I hate these threads, i am still in need of some advise.
'04 black gold 182 with both cup packs, 53k, full service history, good condition other than one or two scuffs on the alloys, 2 owners. totally standard.
I was offered 3k in p/x which i thought was a tad low.
Advise...
My center section (after the cat) has started to rattle on overrun at 3K and 4K. Very annoying and sounds terrible. If i had this replaced with a straight through pipe would it be much louder? Can you buy bolt in replacement, or will i be looking at a weld in/sleeve option?
Thanks.
That's sums it up pretty much.
managed to have smoke pouring off them after a 10min track session!! they really didn't do much for my confidence at all.
On a side note my pedal feels really dead now and my brakes don't have as much 'bite'.. i assume this will clear up with normal driving...
While driving in a very strong head wind today at around 75-80 i would randomly get a buzzing/rattling sound that sounds like its coming from outside. I assumed it might have been the splitter vibrating or something but cant trace it. Has anybody experienced anything like this before?
in the manual it says the trip computer will reset itself once the memory is full? has anybody ever experienced that? roughly how many miles is it?
thanks
just picked up my 182 (more on that later i guess) and didnt notice that the trip range thing (how many miles to fill up) is flashing. It was pretty much on empty when at first but even after putting 25 quids worth of UL in it it hasnt stopped flashing. I have just reset all the trip stuff ( i...
As above really. I would have thought that there was some documentation which tell you all the options on the car? Or maybe a sticker you can reference?
Perhaps its just me having never owned such a highly tuned N/A engine but i noticed on the 182 that when you prod the throttle gently the revs rise really quickly but seem to fall a lot slower? i assume its just as its such a light/low inertia engine? Or isnt that normal?
i seem to be talking myself out of a 182 as the mileage i will do will hurt the resale value. So i have been looking at ph1 172s as a cheaper (but hopefully equally as fun and offers same mpg) alternative.
Seen this one local to me and am wondering if the price is fair? looks pretty low to me...
Hi,
I am looking at getting a 182 but dont know if it going to be sensible enough to use for work. Basically i will end up doing around 6-8 miles of A road and then around 32-24 of motorway each day. Bearing this in mind what kind of mpg would you expect? I will obviously be driving pretty...
