So we'll never really know which part fixed the problem lol.

I remember when I bought my first new 172. I was torn between Flame Red and Iceberg silver, leaning more towards red. My mate convinced me to buy silver. As soon as I bought it I realised the world and his dog were all driving silver cars so it never stood out lol. I still think Silver when...

Ahhh sorry. Didn't know you were taking the piss. If he really thinks he'll get nigh on £13k he's dreaming. There was a really low miler last year with only 13k miles on the clock, it looked and sounded mint. They had it advertised for £12995 originally but couldn't shift it so had to drop the...

He's asking £12995. That's strong money for a car that's obviously not a minter. Plus he's already added 5k miles so it's already going down in value lol :p Personally I'd have taken the " over £10k offer". 😉

I agree. If you're asking top money the car should be complete and in as near mint condition as possible. It's missing the engine hoist bracket as well.

Engine bay looks good now with the vapour blasted inlet manifold. The rusty top mounts let it down though.

Looks nice. Stunning colour.

Sounds like a suspension refresh is on the cards if it's that bad. Sorry. Yeah you're right. 17w Cup shocks will fit none Cup 182s.

Speed bumps are there to stop you going " too fast" 😉 Cup shocks won't fit if you've got a none Cup pack car.

If its not the dephaser it might be the water pump? When I had a full belt service at Diamond motors about 6 years ago my water pump was knackered and rattling its tits off. The cheeky f*****s at Renault who'd previously done the belts etc..... had used a none genuine pump. It had only done 28k...

Ive had 2 broken front springs on my 182 and never noticed. Both were just a couple of inches on the end. Mick at Diamond motors spotted the first one when he was servicing it and second one a couple of years later was picked up when I took it for an MOT. I really doubt anybody would feel the...

Nice one (y) I bet you can't wait. When do you pick it up?

Sounds like strong money imo for a car that needs alot of work. It's obviously had alot of serious damage.

I think it gives a better finish than hammerite and dries a bit quicker.

I was thinking thermostat. If it is the thermostat, will having the heater on or off will affect it? When my heater is off and idling it gets up to temp quicker and will stay there longer but still drops when i start to drive.

Mines been doing exactly this for a few months. I put it down to the outside temp being colder. If I turn the heater off and sit there with it idling it does reach halfway. As soon as I start driving with the heater on, even on low like 18 degrees it drops again 1 mark on the temp gauge. I...

This seller seems to have every colour under the sun. I bought off the Internet...

There's a place called Top Coat in Oswaldtwistle. I know somebody who took their mini there. The back quarter panel had a huge dent in it next to the rear light. It looked like new when they'd finish it. Might be worth a phone call...

Couldn't find any RB with colour coded side strips but some other colours so you get the idea how much better it looks. https://cliosport.net/threads/197-200-model-guide.764458/

Looks and sounds good in the advert. Hopefully it'll be as good when you go to view it. The only thing it's lacking in my opinion are colour coded side strips and a roof spoiler.

Try Autodoc. If you download their app it shows alot more than on their website. I've never had front brake calipers off them but I'm running their rear Ridex brake calipers and they've been fine.

Sounds like you and your brother both got a couple of bargains.

They are like 2 small pieces of black tape that they came with from the factory. They often don't get fitted after the front bumper has had a respray. The car looks well, either way. I'm sure you'll have alot of fun in it. I've had mine since new from February 2006 and it still puts a smile on...

Looks in good condition. I think the front bumper could have a respray? It's missing the small black stickers in the recess on the left and right hand side above the bumper.

I don't think you ever could buy the fabric/ seat covers separately. Not to my knowledge anyway.

No the half leather/alcantara was never an option on the 172 Cup. Somebody has retro fitted yours. I'm not sure about the Cup having a spare wheel? Normal 172's did have a spare wheel.

I've seen this mentioned lately. 8mm round butyl tape. I'm not sure if it was @DomP182 or @RustyMojo...
