Just a little bump, but that was probably me! I'd only had the car about 6 months then, still got it and in the same area now.

All done, thanks for your help everyone.

So I probably should have watched this before removing the CV joint. http://youtu.be/u8Y2Om-d6yo Was there a clip like the one at 1:20 hiding in the grease I was supposed to remove before breaking out the big hammer? I found a clip, but without the bits to squeeze apart. I'm not sure if they...

Well, picked up a new boot from a motor factors who're open late, it was the plasticy type not a rubbery one. The driveshaft came apart ok with a few smacks from a big hammer and the boot went on ok. However the driveshaft seems to have grown a couple of inches in the process so I think I've...

Thanks, I'll get the CV joint off tonight and order the boot tomorrow assuming all goes to plan. Thanks for the opinions everyone.

A new genuine one sounds sensible if they're that easy to fit. The hubs off the car already so I take it the drive shaft just pulld out without losing any gearbox oil? Do you know if there's anywhere I could buy one online or over the phone as I'm not going to be able to get to the dealers...

I've been replaced the front wheel bearings and hub at the weekend after it was trashed by a garage and discovered in doing so that my OSF outer CV boot is split. My options seem to be: Replace whole driveshaft. (KTec think this is most cost effective, maybe because they don't sell the...

I'd have a read of this page: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/BuyingAndSellingAVehicle/AdviceOnBuyingAndSellingAVehicle/DG_4022402 There's some useful advice on there. No idea on prices though :D.

My 182 has also been doing this the last couple of weeks! It's kind of like the first time I hit the brakes after pulling away there is no vacuum assist. Not nice when your not expecting it.

Sounds like me, they're anthracite superleggeras. I keep seeming another RB 182 on my way to park gate. I usually see them in Curbridge.

Seating position and the seatbelt buckles dig into the leather when the back seats are folded down.

Yeah definatly a nob, obviously none of you then :p. Might have been a nod thinking about.

Gave the driver a nob on the way past, I think you were stopped at the temporary lights.

It does that if it detects a door/bonnet/boot still open. Mine did it until I took the little rubber boot off the sensor that detects if the bonnet is open. Seems odd but it's stopped doing it so I'm happy. I'd guess there could be a fault with one of the switches that detects an open door?

I have the exact same issue, destructive misfire on no 3 and exhaust gas temp warning light. Also a bit of a rattle but I'm not sure if that is related? I've had the HT leads and coil replaced, to no avail so far. Did you find the cause in the end?
