I've just had the same problem changing rear discs. I took the old abs rings off the old discs, one of the rings fitted but the other one split whilst it was being persuaded off! Spent a couple days trying to find somewhere that sold abs rings, then one turned up on ebay for a tenner and fit...

Nice one mr cue :) Looking at some of the posts on CS you can 'persuade' the abs ring off the old discs with a hammer and screwdriver. I've got brembo hc discs going onto the front with some oe spec ferodo pads, got a great deal from York motor factors for all the bits and saved a bundle...

Am fitting new discs and pads all round. The front looks straighforward but need some help with the rears. Ive just ordered some new rear discs and a pair of bearings to go with them. Can the ABS rings from the old discs be taken off and used on the new ones?

Nice one! Sounds pretty straightforward..

Yes i ordered tyres from them couple months ago and wasnt impressed. Heard nothing for a week and a half so called to see what was going on. Was told my card had expired (it hadnt) so they couldnt process the order. Re-ordered then told a week later the tyres were not available for at least...

Just been told by a mate i was following that my offside headlamp is pointing a bit high. How do you adjust the dipped beam headlamps alignment?

Just tried it, very useful tip! Now i just need to work out how much oil equates to one blob on the oil level display! :D

Sounds like a bit of a heart stopping moment! Reminds me of when i had my impreza, about 7 years ago now. Brand new car, 4 days after picking it up i was drving on a road that took you through this wood, on a dark wet winter night. A combination of terrible standard headlights, wet leaves me...

:D

yes me too, my fuel economy is much worse using tesco 99. Possibly something to do with the ethanol content? I find the power delivery is very smooth and linear with tesco, but lacking in low and mid range torque with V power. Because of this you feel more of a kick at 5k when the car comes...

Didnt realise the standard 182 had a different gearknob, whats it like?

Just found this, anyone used these kits? http://www.reverie.ltd.uk/shop/products.php?g1=4b6d8f

Id like one of the keyrings too, number 388/500. What would the price be for an order less than 20?
