Yeah its not hard to tripod at all, not sure how much of that is related to my lowering springs
(which btw say Apex on them, wonder why the seller said they were Eibach? ah well, Apex make quality springs)
The tripod easier on standard suspension
Mine revs all the way to 7800
Nope how do i check this ? Im pretty sure this is my issue, well that or a coolant temp sensor. Think im just going to order a thermostat from renault and fit it over the weekend to see if that solves the problem. Cars only done 19k so bit miffed im having to change it over

I managed to break all of mine in my Cup. I think they're made of butter or something.

I've always done it the proper bodge way! Had a few different thermostats lying around for dads Westifeld, and he wanted a lower opening temperature one in for the summer but they had no markings on them...
Take the thermostat out the car, and get a pot of water on one of the hobs of your oven. Have a thermometer in the 'boiling' water (or whatever temperature your thermostat is meant to open at) and then once the temperature is right drop the thermostat in. If the thermostat doesn't open you'll know it's a duffer.
P.S. Anyone want to give me a double-cupped 182 for free?
Got a guy coming to look at the Clio on Sunday then it might be gone :'(

what have i done in the last 12 months (ive had the car 12 months) ? not a lot !! (172 PH2)
oil change
4 new tyres due to previous owner not doing the tracking
front pads i think
nowt else
Spot of rust on my arch, on an 04 ffs?
I cleaned under the arches and there must have been an inch of crap under there, no wonder really, this is what happens when you take your car through the supposedly awesome slovakian hand car washes.
Hoping it's just surface rust :/

I should be picking my 182 up on Saturday after 2 1/2 weeks without it! I can't wait!
Right so last night i took the car out for 20 minutes and noticed that it actually got to temp (wahoo) so i floored it to make sure it would hit the limiter at 7500 and it did but as soon as i changed gear and looked at the temp gauge it had gone to 1 notch again ... hmmmmm Its up and down now it seems so im thinking it could be a coolant sensor more so than the thermostat ....
Where is the thermostat / coolant sensor located ... I cant be arsed to go poking about looking so help is appreciated
Once i know ill go and have a poke and a drive. On another note pagids are fantastic
only thing is if im in slow moving traffic i can hear them squeeking evan tho im not on the brakes ... surley there not warped as there brand spanking brembo discs. Cant wait to get the Yokohama AO48's on. They are in 16 but i dont think im going to bother putting them on my current wheels as i cant be arsed keep changing my tyres over so ill just get some scabby 182 wheels when i get back from the ring in july.Really want to get a whiteline ARB and then start throwing it around some decent trackdays ..... Eibach sportline springs / BMC induction / RS tuner remap should also add to the grin factor these really are great little cars
hope all goes well.
