So... I've been round the engine bay with my sockets and tightened up the bolts on the inlet manifold - the noise has gone! Great! However... Approaching a roundabout after a few mins driving back home, come to a stop, clutch engaged ready to pull away and the car stalls! Wtf?! Start it back...

Can't recall seeing it, I did see another black 182 heading towards Radlett last night actually, think the reg was YN04

That would've been me, thought I saw someone heading towards Radlett yesterday!

I'm going to have a proper check tonight when I get my tools and see if I can find the problem, otherwise I'll be heading back up the A1

Sorry, meant intake.

Plugs weren't changed, however the leads were removed as the head was taken off to do a timing check. Both of the cam seals were replaced as the old ones broke when taken off, they seem to be wedged in pretty tight. I don't have any of my tools with me so can't properly check until the weekend :(

Sounds like it's coming from the spark plugs???!

Yeh I only noticed it yesterday on the drive down the A1 when coming home, he's just responded to me saying it's 100% an air leak and check all the screws so going to nip outside and have a look. Please stay dry Watford...

Had a 12k service up at 519 yesterday and a few other things checked over, however I've noticed today that there is the most annoying noise occurring when no throttle is applied. It goes away if I press the accelerator about 1/4 way, as soon as I let off it disappears. Video below to hopefully...

Registered for track parking, better sort it out now!

Me and a friend were thinking of driving down to it actually, should be a good one.

I declared my Ktec one and Greenlight said thanks but it won't cost you anything. In fact I think Neil said I could have an additional 30bhp or so before any additional cost!

Parked up this morning in Radlett, anyone on here?

Saw it driving through Apsley yesterday mid afternoon, anyone on here?

Pulling into Windsor House this morning, female driver. On here??

That's scary, I was about to post the same spotted! Saw him near Watford junction though.

I've seen that around here too!

Excellent photos, nice job :)

That looks awesome, so much want :(

I had my Ktec map checked by Mike Woodford a couple of weeks back, and he actually said it was one of the best he'd seen from them. Maybe he'll pop along to post an image of the log.

RDH what happened with the bill? Did VW cough up any towards it??

This pleasantly surprises me...

That looks awesome, was it ridiculously expensive though?

Unless you have xenons, you should be fine.

Bit confused why you've forked out for that only to then put the car up for sale??

I saw this, I'll take that with a very large pinch of salt... Then again, I think it's supposed to have better results with older engines.

Grammar nazi in grammar fail shock!

That sounds like a trust worthy place :D Matt, have you tried changing either of the lambda sensors?

As said, as long as there's no sharp edges then you'll be fine. If you are pulled over, you can always argue that you're on your way to collect a new bumper.

Give the bolts a good coating in wd40/similar before you attempt to undo them - they'll be damn tight!
