Well, I tackled this yesterday. Getting the passenger wiper off would have been a nightmare without the puller but all in all a simple straightforward job. However, my headlight washers had never worked so when I tried them again all the water in the tank promptly pissed out of the front of the...

Were you using a puller?

I bought the eurocarparts pump (as recommended in another thread recently) part number 488545100. Was only just over £6 with their current promo. Bought a Nielsen arm puller from amazon for £10 which was less than half the price of the same thing on ECP. Just thought of something else..... If I...

many thanks, sounds even simpler than I imagined!

Hi all this weekend (wether permitting), I'm planning on changing the pump for my windscreen washer. Bought the pump and a wiper arm puller in readiness, and have already sprayed up the nut with WD40 to get some oil penetration in it to make it easier to pull. Got a couple of questions though...

a pic of my first attempt with plastidip...

Plastidip worked well for me, and if I want the chrome look again I'll simply peel it off

101k on mine when it was changed, so probably about time to do it

Happened to me for a while. Then started to get a mild grinding noise after a few weeks when the pedal was pressed or released. Release bearing was on the way out. A new clutch, fork and guide tube fitted this week solved everything for me.

May as well change the clutch then, if I'm going go be in there?

Hi all, over the last few weeks my clutch has been making a bit of a noise. When I pressed or released the clutch pedal I would hear a scraping noise. Best way to describe it is that is sounded like a nail being lightly drawn across a spinning metal disc. Just the noise, no vibrations or...

Err, thanks Zen. Not really relevant to the question but thanks anyway ;-) Anyone know what this plug may be for? ta

Hi all, while sorting out the various rattles and squeaks in my 182 I came across an unconnected plug that I hope someone can identify for me. Its a purple plug with two wires (one green, one white) that was hanging down behind the aircon/heater control panel. Should it be connected in my 182FF? ta

only used the clamps supplied when fitting mine. All good and no leaks
