182 not running right :(

[ross-lakin]

hi all ,

so i got in my car this afternoon after finishing work , and it jus aint running right , i can feel some sort of vibration when dipping an lifting the clutch , and its sooo noisy in high revs its kinda like a misfire , really cant describe it any better than that , i heard a few funny noises n knocks aswell,

any ideas

Jus been out again and literally the whole car vibrates when accelerating , and also found a huge screw in my back tyre FML !

Can you get a video or something?

Coil gone?
Engine mount broken?

No idea!

Sounds like it could be any number of things, I don't think anyone will be able to diagnose without seeing it - will just be stabs in the dark.
Take it to one of the specialists on here.
Diamond Motors is in Nottingham and BTM in birmingham are your nearest.

The upper gearbox one? I'm getting a bit of vibration myself but nothing terrible - think my £5 cheapo rubber one from ECP may be to blame!?

We're all good thanks and not had any Cups in for a few weeks now. Seems to be Meg II's at the minute and today's is one which starts 80% of the time and the remaining times the network can't see the ECU or it's just not recognised #fun
