Any ideas of things to troubleshoot? Only thing my car failed on for the MOT... PITA! Thanks Ben

Hi all, My backbox is on the way out and rather than replacing it with a standard item I'm thinking about upgrading. Quite like the idea of getting an exhaust that's visible, i.e. a 182 exhaust trim in the bumper and a single exhaust to fit, maybe slash cut? Anyone recommend anything in...

Hi all, Need to get my wheels refurbed as a couple of them are pretty kerbed and one has a big mark on (the dangers of letting others drive your pride and joy!) Seen that CAS Coatings come recommended, but has anyone used them for refurbing 182 wheels? I understand they won't touch the...

Hi all.. Had a good search, but can't find any info.. My iPhone is on Bootloader: 06.04, Baseband: 05.12.01 and iPhone OS: 3.1.3.. I've jailbroken it, but Fuzzyband won't work as it's not got Bootloader 05.08 on it.. Any ideas on how I can unlock it? Thanks.. Ben

Hi All, Off to Silverstone in August and considering getting a set of 15" alloys and tyres to run instead of my road wheels. I don't really fancy ending the day at Silverstone with illegal tyres and then having to drive home on them.. I've got 182 Cup suspension, can anyone advise whether...

Anyone done it? How easy is it? DIY possible, or is a job for the professionals? Thanks! Ben

Car slipped off the handbrake on Friday outside my GF's house, and rolled down the hill into a flat bed truck.. Check out the results: Taken it to mate yesterday who thinks he can beat out the rear 1/4, which is a relief.. Just need to find a bootlid now.. See my other Flamer...

After a bootlid for my flamer (thread to follow as for reason why.. :() Found this bootlid on eBay, but it's listed as Mars Red, which I thought was a V6 colour only? Also, looks like this might be flamer too? Any ideas?

My 182 engined 172 is intermittently running on 3 cylinders until it gets up to temp, when the problem completely goes away.. Engine management light flashes too, though if I turn the engine off and start it again as soon as it's warmed up the light goes off... Coilpack maybe? Thanks! Ben

Spotted a blue cup at Brands yesterday, anyone here? I was a passenger in the yellow one of these: http://www.radicalsportscars.com/range/sr3-rs I didn't get to take the flamer out on track.. :(

Kirkstall road this morning.. Saw you at the lights. (Was in my flamer).

I was in the flame red 172.. Looked mint!

Spotted you this morning - looking good!

Looking shiny! I was in the Flamer behind you.. Saw you parked at Go Outdoors too! B

Looked well!

Looking shiny! :)

My 172 is 182 engined, with a 182 ecu.. Because of this, I think, none of the trip computer options work. I.e. mpg, etc.. Anyone got the same set up and managed to get the trip computer working? Cheers Ben

Near Penrith. We were either side of a brand new Nissan GT-R, you in front and me behind..

Hi all, Hopeing someone has Harmony roof bars for their clio? Picked up a set 2nd hand today, but they've not come with ny fitting tools. Can anyone advise what I need to fit them? Is it just an allen key? Thanks! Ben

With matching yellow lipped alloys. Looked smart!

I was the flame red 172 behind you.. Ben

Thought I'd post a few pics of my 172. You might recognise it, it used to be Mike's from Rentech. Just had the bumper resprayed, carbon splitter added and badges from ChrisD172 fitted. The pics aren't great quality. Comments welcome! PS: Silvervisions are on the way..

Someone else's clio off here having some work done at Sprayfix today. 'Ring & CS sticker in the back - anyone off here? (My Flame Red 172 is also having some work done) Ben

Saw it parked up over the weekend.. Looked a minter!

Having my bumper resprayed next week and in two minds whether to get the fog surrounds colour coded at the same time.. Anyone got any pics of it done to sway me either way? Ta Ben

Need to buy some new shocks for the Valver, but unsure whether this is standard ride height or lowered? Can anyone tell from the photo?

Hit a bit of brick on the road on the way home and it's dislodged one of the rear brake pads - how unlucky? Struggled the couple of miles home with minimal braking. Just whipped the wheel off and the piston is touching the rear disk, no suprise there. Question is, is it just case of winding...

The gearbox on my valver has died.. Been quoted £400 +vat to get a recon one (price includes fitting..) Seems reasonable to me, any comments?

The cable that selects reverse gear on my valver snapped, now I have a new one, how do I go about fitting it? Do I have to take the gear stick and assembly out of the car first? Can I do it situ? Would appreciate help from anyone who's done it before.. Cheers Ben

After a couple of bits for my valver.. Anyone come across any valvers recently in scrapyards in the Leeds area? Cheers! Ben
