Hi everyone, been a while since I've been on here, but the wives 182 has been doing our heads in. Basically, the red light and beep that you'd normally get when you drive the car without a seatbelt on comes on while driving, sometimes in corners, sometimes in straights, all very random. (and...

Hi guys, I had a decat on my 182, and predictably had an engine light on the dash. The car ran fine and gave decent MPG, so I assumed that the decat was causing the light. I recently got a cat and a cat-back system fitted, and the light went out for the first drive or two. Then, when I got back...
