FSH. Last owner was for 7 yrs!! Think it was one of those things. (He says! ) Just moved it earlier to get the missus car out and it was fine. I just don't trust going anywhere further until it's looked at. I do tinker with cars but seeing as this is new to me will let the guys have a look, then...

But when its cutting out at traffic lights trying to 'save' itself it gets a little tedious! Will call the garage first thing and get it sorted ; )

*know

Is that one too look for or are you having me on? I am a noob and no less than nothing! ; )

Read my 1st day of ownership post in general. Got 'recovered' last night after stalling at traffic lights in town! ; )

Flux capacitor must have been done when the Cambelt was done. I'll get the sensor done, flush the coolant then start thinking about a new exhaust, as its blowing and looks pretty fooked. Just don't want a super loud bad boy edition exhaust ; )

Oh, so can't replace it at all?? He said the exhaust smelt like it was running quite rich and that the state of the exhaust wouldn't help mpg (original and nearly gone). Then he mentioned that I should check fuel filter and potentially replace.

Yeah, relatively simple. when someone mentioned Cambelt I was thinking my Renault love affair would be very brief...... ; )

Engine coolant sensor gone rogue!! Causing engine to cut off in order to 'save' it. Also he mentioned the fuel filter could do with replacing and to get a coolant flush. I won't be able to get parts tomorrow so will prob get local garage on the case and get it sorted. Made me smile when the guy...

I think it's water temp like you mentioned. That dropped to nothing but was still driving like normal.

What ever the gauge next to the petrol is! That dropped, but was still driving Ok, then far right handside eml came on, not Central one.

Cambelt, in what sense? ? It was last done in nov 2011.

Yeah, massive suckage. Will get a diagnostic check. It was fun while it lasted. A whole 9 hrs of ownership! #fml

Yes! Plenty of oil. Will get the guy to run ems check and see what the crack is ; (

Broken down, oil temp dropped to 0 but was still driving Ok. Them engine mng light came on, still driving Ok, then stalled/ cut out at traffic lights. Starter motor turning but engine not firing at all. Low ish on petrol but lights not on. Any ideas people?? Got green flag on there way ; (...

Picked my new 182 up. Still not warmed her up properly to see what she can but am loving it so far ; )

Don't think owner was on here to be honest. Local owner of 7 years, and im 3rd owner so First owner had it a year or so.

Spoke to owner. She said to turn key, let computer etc do its thing then start it. Fingers crossed that's all ; )

Just stalled it reversing in to the drive and it took ages to start back up again? Is there a knack to it??! Or have I bought a pup! ; (

Just off to go get her. Driving will now be fun from here on in ; )

Brave or stupid! ; ) she will be fine. Was thinking of getting her to sign the v5 , so to keep it as another female owner, worth bothering with or not??

Pay day tomorrow so will be signing up! Might need some info on refurbing anthracite wheels and potential new exhaust, as it's still on original but on its way out ; (

Ouch. I think I will take her out for a few trips as to get her used to it. Fingers crossed she is gentle with it! ; )

Hi all. I'm another noob to RS, and am picking up a 2005 182 on Saturday. I walk to work so the missus will be using it daily for a short commute. Hope she likes it! Like to think I got a good one. 2 owners, last owner being for 7 years. Just wanted something to enjoy while driving instead of a...
