Hey Chaps, Just getting an idea of what mine would be worth (not a lot I bet). 2005 Arctic Blue with 102k on the clock. Part Service History Timing Belt, Dephaser etc done 8,000 miles ago. Eibach Sportline Springs RS Tuner Remap 98RON Nearly New Falken tyre all round 5+ Owners CAT D - Rear...

Hit a horrible pothole which has caused a scrape on my bumper. Everytime I go over a bump at slightly higher speeds, it scrapes somewhere. :(

So an amusing update for you guys. Got to the bottom of what the knocking noise was and it wasn't the mounts or the bolts being loose. It was the bloody fatty induction kit tapping the body :D

Hmm, on my pioneer unit in my car, you have to keep the turn the stereo off first by keeping hold of the "src" button. Once the stereo is turned off, try keeping the "scrolling / big ass / volume" button and see if you get additional options appearing on the screen. There should be something...

In order to get it out of protect mode. You usually have to just turn the ignition on and off again. The wires is a tricky one. It could be on the unit, the speakers or anywhere in between. That's why I suggested that you try and find a different head unit just to test things out.

Unfortunately I don't have one. I'm gonna try and source one or worst case just buy one.

I've soaked the bolts in a ton of wd40. Will give it another try tomorrow.

Those bolts just don't budge. I'm gonna leave it to mechanic to sort it out now haha

Can't loosen up the bloody bolts Haha. Currently trying to source a bar / breaker bar or something.

Just saw that. Need to wait for the engine to cool down a bit first. :D

So just a quick heads up. I removed the dogbone mount that was on the car and it appears to have a powerflex bush already installed. I replaced it any way just to be sure it wasn't the dogbone mount but the knocking noise is still there. There is a slight gap in the bush but I don't see that...

Hey mate, This could happen when there are wires touching each other or on a metal panel of the car. Usually, the headunit goes into protect mode or throws up an error. To begin with, I would first remove the aftermarket headunit and use the old one again to check the speakers are fine. If the...

I know mate but money is a bit tight at the moment so the dogbone was a cheaper option. Only cost £15 from a friend. Will keep me going until i can powerflex the old one

Thanks guys. I've ordered a replacement dogbone mount that should arrive today or tomorrow. I plan to replace that first to see if it sorts it out. Im looking to powerflex my old one when I get the chance to do so. I'll let you guys know how I get on.

Hey Chaps, My 182 has recently developed a knocking noise when changing gears from first and second or when I take my foot off the accelerator. When you sit in the drivers seat, you can hear / feel the knock is coming from the left hand side of the car. The gear changes aren't as smooth as they...
