The issue is the finance company can reclaim the vehicle if finance stops being paid and finance is for 2 owners previous. Why else would someone sell so soon after purchasing.

Must be the 2nd time it has been on ebay now. Experian HPI check listed the finance company and I spoke to them who confirmed finance was from 2 owners ago. That owner is possible still paying the finance otherwise car would have been repossessed but if they do stop car belongs to finance...

Nicely lowered. Which coilovers you using? I found my FK's an improvement but that was probably also down to the original suspension being 7 years old when I fitted the coilovers.

What offset by the way. And post some pics when on. Don't forget to way them whilst they are off as it all helps keeping them clean. Although I find the grey holds the muck well and looks good when dirty more than silver...

Yeah FK Automotive were my preferred choice on the Hybrid and H&R if I could have afforded them so would be sticking to FK, H&R or KW. Heard various things about Gaz when I was looking for mine and wouldn't go near them.... Just got to find a 182 so I can start stripping and selling the Hybrid.

I've tried looking for the offset information but many searches don't provide much info between standard 182 and cup. I thought cup were 45 offset (or 42 as seen that number somewhere) but without physically seeing 2 wheels and getting the ET off them am clueless. Was going to be fittting...

Seeing as it looks like I will get rid of my Mk1 Hybrid I would like to use the wheels (grey ultraleggeras) on a 182 but will they fit and if so would it be the 182 only or also the 182 with cup suspension? Don't mind using spacers and prefer the look of the Oz wheels or Turinis to the...

I was going to take a look at ds cars in Lichfield but both are no longer appearing on autotrader or their website so presume sold.

Going to check a 182 and Trophy this weekend so hopefully will get to have a test drive and find out for myself. Is there a good buying guide anywhere for known faults, recall and service information. Also any lists of proven mods? Is maxogen still best regarded ik or could I reuse my bmc...

Nope at the fly: http://cliotrophy.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7763 This is one of the main factors I don't use forums anymore as rather than state facts people guess or make general uninformed statements, or latch on to what someone else states. No offense meant BTW I know my BHP...

Yeah I nearly went for Turinis but chose graphite grey Ultralegerras instead. And always liked small hatches from a practical point of view and cost, replacing stock items for better as they wear out, hence mods on my current car after 8 1/2 years of ownership.

Got the 160 bhp figure from a Trophy RR Graph before and after remap. 162.3 bhp standard at the fly apparently. Trouble is I used to find on forums there are lots of people who quote figures for things but RR is generally the only real indicator and that can vary. So would take that figure...

I do love my car apart from the shabby bits and the fiancee hates it so at least I get it to myself. Where as a 182 is perhaps a bit nicer for girls so she would nick that a lot. I would probably appreciate the air con too. Things I found better on my current Clio where exhaust filter and...

Being an owner of a Mark 1 Clio that has been tuned to 190.2 bhp, I am suprised that the 182 runs so low when RR'd. I am having the dilema of thorwing over a grand on my car to sort out all the rust and paint issues to make it tidy again or sell up (probably as parts) and put that money plus...

I was going to get one as fed up with the painful slow internet connection on the current Iphone. BUt as that is jailbroken and I am able to keep my old tariff of 1000 min/1000 text and 75MB data for £20 upgrade would cost me loads. If anyone is getting the newer one, and use their phone a...

My F7R modified engine ran fine on the 1.8 ECU for a week until I got the remap done, but the was running in anyway so didn't drive like a loon. Think before remap it was 180bhp and with 190.2bhp. So remap worth it to get the best out of whatever you have.

I got a Sony Alpha mainly because I had Minolta 35mm and could use lenses. The Sony and I think Olympus have image stabilisers on the body which means you have it on all lenses where as others have on the lenses so pushes costs up on each lens. Think olympus also have a live lcd screen to...

Standard tyres are 185/55/15 and expensive with limited tyres to choose from. Many fit 195/50/15 as more modern tyres availabe and cheaper. Lose a little ride quality. I've just fitted 16s on mine and the 195/45/16 makes it an even harsher ride. Would not go larger the 16" and you would...

Cambelt every 72k or 5 years, whichever is soonest. Waterpump a git to get at. Look at coolant bottle. Many are brown and discoloured. Coolant like brake fluid should be changed every 2 years. PAS often noisy. Clutches often heavy compared to most cars, you get used to it but then they...

Just got the N95, my first Nokia and not that impressed but sure if it all works properly it will be fine. New RAZR2 looks a nice phone but summer release.

I'd rather have the 10k niles one on ebay that went for £9.5k. That would have been a years free motoring at that price. Just because a car is numbered 500 does it mean it was the last made, ie did anyone look at date purchased and number issued? 500 could have been made anytime but...

5w 40. Opie oils if you want silkolene etc. Halford have a third off their synthetic. It has to last 6k miles in your engine so you may as well get some synthetic in. Some are better than others. I have tried Mobil 1 (worst) Halfords own and Total Quartz from GSF. Find car runs best on...

I got the Karcher 2.9km thing that was £80 at Sainsburys. Extra variable attachment is what makes all the difference. Comes with patio/decking attachment too. Impressed on the way it cleans wheel grime and didn't strip paint of plastic parts like a cheap bosch one I borrowed of a mate.

I do and venair will sell at £15 per metre, so £22.50 but only if I find someone else who also needs 1.5m to save wastage. I found 1m is not enough the way I am routing mine on my Mk1. 85mm diameter by the way. If not I will just have to get 2m and waste some of it.

Since going over from Telewest to Virgin, find the service now is much worse. Have a webstar DPX or DXP100 modem and it only works on USB connection, which often fails resulting in the need to disconnect everything and reconnect every 5 mins. Bought an ethernet cable, as one was not...

Used a small hand held one on mine but only on a few areas and wiped off the residue with a microfibre. The Karcher hand held jobbies were £29.99 in homebase when I got mine a few weeks ago. Great to use on headlining and carpets too. Probably seats as well if you haven't got leather...

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago but they also got my hotmail too so any communications that go to hotmail to would not get found. Ebay were good and noticed straight away, emailing all the people the person was trying to get stuff from. Hotmail were no use as details they asked for...

Best checking www.avforums.com I bought my folks the 42 inch PX60 inc Cabinet for xmas. There is a purple snake issue on some of last years Panasonics. Think they may have reduced this on the newer ones but there are years worth of posts on avforums. Personally don't like the...

FK Highsports on my valver best mod I made before fitting a 2 litre.
