Did you end up doing this? I have a nice low mileage 182 but it doesn’t have the cup suspension and I always feel like it’s the one thing that lets it down a little. I don’t mind the extra work if it isn’t mega money to change it.

So turns out it’s this bracket on the front of the servo which some pipes fix to apparently. I think I’ll be seeing how I get on without it since it hasn’t been on for the whole time I’ve owned the car... and it looks less a right pain to get in Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got round to sorting this today. I replaced the vacuum pipe with one I got from a breaker for the sum of £15. Took about an hour of faffing and losing skin on my knuckles but happy to report my brakes feel better than ever. You guys got it spot on so thanks very much. The bit of clear tube that...

Yeah good thinking. Could well be sealed shut like that. Hopefully it will be a nice cheap fix. I’ll get it off this afternoon and have a look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did have a squeaky bum moment when a bus pulled out on me in the way back from the MOT centre. I’ll get it done next week. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all Took my car in for an MOT yesterday and passed with no advisories. However the joy is very short lived as I’ve no got only about 10% of the braking capacity that I had when I drove it in... I watched the whole MOT and all they really did was jack it up and look underneath and do the...

The more people that ask for more money for their 172s and 182s than those putting them up for pennies for a quick sale, will mean that people expect to pay more overall

Just my two pence but if someone is willing to pay it, it only benefits the rest of us in terms of our valuations. Dealers are in the game to make profit, and aren't really in the game to sell cars in 4 days like the rest of us private sellers and then start to panic when it hasn't sold within...

Yep replaced it today. Even tried it with the pollen filter in to see if it would make a difference but still nothing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So... I had the typical blower fan not working. I change the resistor and plugs etc in the passenger footwell but still no luck. Ended up changing the blower... absolute b*****d of a job. Spent the best part of 5 hours on my back in the footwell. The blower now works on all speeds which is...

Haha very true! Might have some time to get the bumper off this weekend and have a look Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
