As above really...i have some issues with the 182 and i need someone to diagnose and then fix or advise.... Anyone got any good trusted places in reading?

 

[Cub.]

Isn't really one here for the RS's chap. What do you need doing? I take mine to K-Tec who have been excellent, or Danny at 519 in Bedford is also great. Fred at BTM is top notch but slightly further North.

 

[Russler]

ah thats a shame.... I know there is a guy called Dan in somerset who is well regarded too...I dont really fancy travelling too far unless the car can be diagnosed and fixed in the one day... where are KTec based?

 

[Mark-387]

Your not far from me I was going to say k-tec there based in Bournemouth mate.

 

[Russler]

Bournemouth is ok... Will call them up

 

[BigDaveRotary]

If you are considering going as far as Bournemouth you may as well give Mike at Rentech up near Portsmouth a ring too!

 

[Budgie]

What's the problems?

 

[Cooksport]

We are based in Bristol/Bath.

 

[Russler]

a bit sluggish (coolant temp sensor or air flow/lambda related is my guess but could be way out as not used to NA cars)
something is up bush/suspension wise the only way I can describe it is the steering feels a bit choppy there is a grind/knock feel on full lock right


Not sure if there are common problems with the 182 or not? it has the cup wheels and apparently cup suspension if that makes any difference?

Can a RS tuner be used to read fault codes with it being locked to my car? If so i am in maidenhead if you want to plug it in?

Also there is Stone Automotive in Staines

 

[Chip-mk1]

Mike from MWM is in staines too.



Peanuthead, yes the rs tuner can be used for diagnostics on other cars even if locked to one.

Danpl6 on here that is.

His workshop is in street near glastonbury.

 

[Coops Mk1]

grind/knock on full lock could be outer CV joint

 

[peanuthead]

Well just PM me Russler if you want to plug it in!

 

[Russler]
