Spotted an AB Blue 172 with the number plate K15 CUP on the A12 between Chelmsford and Witham on Friday 11th Jan. you looked over as I went passed you. Anyone on here?

Could well have been me. Tend to spend a lot of time in there. Did you catch the number plate?

Is this what I am looking for then? http://www.gsfcarparts.com/450aa0100 Thanks.

Well I have got the MOT failure certificate and this is what it says: Nearside and Offside Front Constant Velocity joint gaiter insecure to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc So how much can I expect the repair of these to cost? It is booked in for Tuesday next week...

Thanks guys, so I must expect the worst when I get the quote tonight then. Why are these cars so damn expensive in repairs. Exhaust went and would have been over £800 if I went for standard. Starting to get a bit fed up with it tbh.

From what I understand is the CV Joints on both side are loose. That is all I know. I should know a bit more tonight. If it's too expensive of a job then I may just sell as at the moment I do not need the car as rarely drive anyway. If I am looking at replacing the full CV Joint, as brand new...

Hi Guys, my 182 failed it's MOT today due to the CV Joint on both sides. I am not mechanically minded at all, so have no idea what this means. Can anyone explain what this is, how bad it is and also roughly how much I can expect it to cost to repair. I have done a search but cannot seem to find...

I was quite surprised about the price, but at least I am safe in the knowledge that the Milltek will be a stainless system and should last. It seemed as though the standard exhaust lasted for the 7.5 years the Cliop has been in existence so not too bad. Out of interest, anyone know how loud a...

I noticed my exhaust was blowing recently so decided to take it inot the garage to let the professionals have a look. Just got a call from them, and it appears both the Center and Rear sections have eroded and need replacing. What I heard afer that shocked me somewhat and all I can say is...

Was flashed by a black 182 on Saturday on Broomfield Road in Chelmsford near the KFC. I waved back but may have been a bit late. Anyone on here??

Spotted a black 182 on the A130 just before the Rettendon turn off on Saturday afternoon, just as the snow started falling heavily. He was going far too quick in the fast lane, tried to slow down and slid across to the slow lane, slamming into a people carrier on his way through. Don't know if...

Ok thanks guys!! I will get it into a garage in the new year to get it checked out. Just seems weird that it's only when the weather is bad!!

Hi Guys, has a look but can't seemt to find anything of significance on this. Every now and then when I'm driving my service, abs and traction control lights come on. If I turn the engine off and back on again they go out. I find it's usually during this poor weather as had this last year with...

Ok thanks guys, I didn't know if it was the whole arm that needed to come off or just a part of it. Also the link for ebay will they be the same as the 182??

How do I take one off??
