Cheers folks. Going to make a start on it next week so shall see how it turns out lol

Has anyone cut away part of the rear bumper on a 182 before?? It's a track toy I'm building and running a single exit exhaust. Was looking to chop away part of the rear bumper......if anyone has done it have you fitted a diffuser or similar or just left as is? Cheers

Hi folks, Bit of a long shot here but does anyone in the Aberdeen area have a spare set of wheels for a 182 I could "hire"?? Wanting my wheels powder coated and don't really want to buy another set for the sake of a couple days. I will pay anyone who can help!! Cheer

Cheers folks :)

Anyone??

Crazy thread revival.....hopefully you still use the forum or someone else can help.......were the panels for the rear windows custom made or can you buy them??

Hi folks, Apart from the obvious bumper cut outs, can a 172 exhaust from the cat back go onto a 182 I.e mounting points the same??

It's a 182 with air con etc. can't seem to find anything local so just biting the bullet and I'll do it myself lol

As title really... I have an aux belt kit to be fitted, don't fancy doing it at the roadside. Any recommendations for garages in Aberdeen/shire?? Cheers

I was tempted by this if it was still last years regulations. Think the new ones would put me in Class D but not competitively. I'd also need to alter the car further, which I don't want to do as it's a road toy too. Normal hot hatch days for me next year I think

Got to love these cars and there issues!! Drove a couple mile to the shops last night, no problem. Started car at the shop and it decides it wants to be a 3 cylinder 182!! Quick RSTuner diagnostic and it showed an injector fault. Luckily I could source one local today, half an hour after work...

Another wee update... Still have a whine from belt side, no definitive answers so looks like I'll have to just start replacing components :( On the plus side.....I have parts on route to fit an open filter for some induction noise......and out the back end I've stuck the RSTuner pops and bangs...

Is there a way to set them? I thought it was just a spring tensioner?

It's more a bearing sort of noise than a PAS pump, steering doesn't affect the noise at all

Hi folks. I have had a read through similar threads but they never seem to mention if it has been fixed. Basically my 182 has a whine from the belt side, noise increase with revs at idle and under load. Alternator is brand new so isn't that. A lot of mentions point towards the aux belt idler...
