Update 11/01/2012
Had my tracking sorted so now the car doesnt steer off to the right lol apparently it was out by quite a bit :eek: Also had my exhaust leak and sag fixed! Didnt charge as it wasnt the hangers just the clamp needed refitting so that was good, car sounds alot better! Also had...
thanks all, clamp refitted, all fixed now and the car sounds so much better, much deeper noise and no whistle when accelerating!
did it free of charge too, also wheels were 5mm out of tracking so now the car doesnt steer off to the right lol happy days
At garage now, he has removed clamp, lifted exhaust back up and then refitted clamp, he says it's stopped blowing now, I will keep my eye on it and if it sags again I will order new clamps as that's probably the culprit! Like you said I bet it was putting alot of stress on the mani, hope it's...

I've just bought a bg 182 with 73k fsh and it feels like new, clutch, gearbox and engine all feel very positive etc
I was in the same boat as you but make sure you give higher mileage ones a look too! And enjoy, amazing car
In the hunt for my 182 I phoned over 10 dealers up who stated FSH, only to find that 1 of those cars had actually had a FSH, the rest just tried to fob me off with "doesnt need changing for another 10k miles" and all that bs
Hi all, got my car yesterday, so happy with it lol all the belts have been done by birchdown so no worries there, 2 previous owners, one of which must of been a member of this forum due to the sticker in rear window! Both cup packs, 70k miles, doesnt want for anything apart from a nasty exhaust...
