Lol, no!

The stock large clips on the boots always seem to break, dumping the gease when they do. I'd change it for a jubilee clip while you're fitting the new one.

I know someone that dropped his car into the dealers for a service and MOT, he got flashed by a speed camera while it was there!

Thanks, I'll have a look into that.

I had it recharged last summer and was told it already had sufficient pressure but didn't work?

Ok. Not sure what's going on, you can hear the 'click' when you press the A/C button, had it recharged last summer but no cold air.

Mine's also doing something like that and whines a bit. The A/C isn't working despite it being charged and I'm thinking A/C pump.

Excellent, thanks. From what I've read on spring rates the 182 cup springs are 30% stiffer on the front, rear 10%. The roads I drive on are terrible and have seen some 172 springs for next to nothing (I have 182 ff) and was thinking about swapping them.

No one knows?

One for the shock gurus, will stanadrd 172 springs fit on 182 cup shocks? Obviously they are softer, will they ride any higher/lower?

Changed the dead alternator.

Looking good Graham, certainly puts my 182 to shame. Did you sell the OZ F1's?

You mean the arm? If it's been on there a while it probably won't come off without a fight and the plastic ends up breaking away from the metal sleeve that goes on the shaft. I ended up cutting mine off with my Dremel and a cutting blade.

My Miltek has more of a deeper burble to it, centre silencer included but no cat.

Check connectors. If the airbag is plugged in the light should go off.

My bad, it will.

Get the loom sorted. Sounds like you've already blown a bit of cash guessing the fault, a specialist will be able to sort it for a couple of hours labour.

It won't need mapping for just an exhaust but a good performance map does make a nice difference.

Remove the relay holder and fuse hiker fur ease of access, it's clipped to the bottom of the box.

You have a fastchip performance map but no RS Tuner?

Sorry it's a little off topic but how do you get the sensors out without clips breaking? Mine hunts on light throttle, I'm thinking an air leak on the plenum.

AFAIK the airbag light won't go out until the fault code is cleared.

Mine failed it's MOT on the LED brake light not working (amongst other things). If it's there it has to work.

No, with an RSTuner map the prog. tool will say fastchip.

The Milltek is very nicely made.

I can understand CV joints wearing out but why does the whole drive shaft need to be changed?

I would of thought the manufacturer will want to know why, firstly because if it becomes common they can work on a fix and if there's a reason the warrenty is void before they give away thousands of pounds worth of parts. It wouldn't take a dealer ten minutes to find out if it's been mapped. I...

Thanks guys, some good ideas. I did think about that mount mod but instead of using a powerflex a solid piece of high density rubber like this so holes could be drilled exactly where you want the exhaust to sit.

Completely pointless, they need a soak in an ultrasonic bath.

I've just got in after fitting a complete Milltek system (including decat) to my 182 and am very impressed with the build, sound and it's a good chunk lighter than the ten year old standard system I took off. My only little niggle is I couldn't get it fitting as flush as some of the pics I've...
