Where did you get your seatbelts done?

Checking back on Ebay. It's been on since July 2023. It was a bit long and I had to cut it down a bit...

I had one of those poly exhaust centre hangers too, it lasted a few days on my Yozza exhaust and split in the same place. I ended up buying some black universal rubber thing off Ebay and it's still going strong a couple of years later 👍

Sounds normal to me 🤔

No, I've still got them. I sprayed them too. I've just noticed I took the pics without them lol. I wouldn't have a clue where to get some from. This is the Halfords colour I used for anyone that's interested in spraying theirs.

I soaked mine in dettol for a couple of days. All the sticky rubber coating just disintegrates, then it's just a case of cleaning off all the remainder, then sanding down and spraying with plastic primer. I sprayed mine with some dark grey metallic spray ( I don't have the code number to hand, I...

The power steering pump on my 182 had been whining for years, but the last month or so was very noisy when cold, for the first 5 mins or so. I got a 2nd hand pump and had it changed at Birchdown a couple of weeks ago. It's almost silent now. This is how it sounded when I turned the steering wheel 😮

I've been running Avon 7V7s on my 182 for a few years now. I live in the North West of England where it's wet all the time lol. They're good in the wet and dry when pushing on, good wear rate and won't break the bank. Look on Camskill for prices. They're always the cheapest for me. I order...

Mine had new cup shocks fitted a few years ago and Grams springs. I'd say the Grams springs are better than the original springs in terms of handling. I've also got a full set of brand new cup springs because like you say, lots of things are NLA. I've been stock piling a fewvspare parts for a...

I don't have any pics. There's probably some knocking about on an old Nokia phone somewhere lol. The only change visually is the Skoda Fabia splitter and the Yozzasport exhaust which has been on for the best part of 17 years.

I've run TRW front and rear pads on my 182 for years. They last absolutely ages, very little dust and they have good bite even when pushing on. That's on the road, not track.

To be honest. The 2nd one I had fitted only lasted a couple of weeks and was faulty so I went back to the garage and fitted another. That must have been 10 or 11 years ago now. Hopefully there's still plenty of life left in this one 🤞🤞

Pretty much so. It's on its 3rd alternator and 3rd battery and one driveshaft replaced plus the spoiler brake light was playing up a couple of weeks ago. It once threw the aux belt off but a million to one chmace it jammed and don't take out the cambelt. Other than that, it's been very...

Yeah some rust has been cut out above both rear wheel arches and the standard rusty petrol cap.

That's good going 👍 I've only had 2 cars in the last 25 years 😮 I bought a brand new 172 in 2001 then sold it after 4 years and bought the 182.
