Haha, good old trusty ph1 to the rescue! Not a fan of those Gordinis at all....

Well I have narrowed it down now. I either want a 172 cup for circa £2.5k-£3k, or a 182 for £3.7k-£4k. But every sodding one I find on the net that is nice, is either 200 miles away, or sold when I contact the owner.... I think I might have a cry lol. I don't thi it helps that I'm really fussy...

I agree with you..... I guess it is just the icing on the cake so to speak.

Thanks mate, I appreciate that. I do like the silver ones but really I would like one with both the cup packs. Im not really too interested in colour. I just want reliability, no marks etc, not stupid milage and as mentioned as a preference.... Cup packs. I would even settle for a mint 172...

Just got back from looking at the car in question. Scratch and dent weren't too bad, however the thing that really caught my attention was the fact that the driverside front wing was miles away from the bonnet (I.e. Massive panel gap of about 15mm) and when I drove it it seemed to pull to the...

Hmmmmm, fair point. It's a silver 182, no packs, all belts done in the last 5k. I might still go and have a look and grab a test drive as I haven't properly driven a 182 yet. Still got to see if I get on with it lol. Thanks for the guide. I saw it just as I posted this thread! Typical haha The...

This is tragic!

By the way, if anyone knows of a decent 172 cup/182 going give me a shout. Here is my rough criteria Under 50,000miles Upto £3750. £4k at an ABSOLUTE push Must be in really good nick. I'm quite fussy about little bits Dont really want anything too modified FSH is a must Must come with...

Hmmmmm.... What is a de-phaser when it's at home?

Well i can tell him that the cam belt, aux belt and de-phaser need to be done and knock him down accordingly. How much would all this usually cost?

Hello all, though I'd start by saying hello as this is my first post in the CS forum! Having read some of the previous posts on here, you all (well 99% of you) seem like a thoroughly informative bunch, so I took the plunge and joined. Im currently in the market for a used 182. I don't care if...
