Flat battery? If its an older, weak battery the recent cold weather might have killed it. Get a multimeter on it. Should be 12.6V if its holding a charge, if its down to 12.4V or less it'll struggle to start or won't start at all. P0300 will probably be injectors. I had the same recently and...

Is Grams your own make? I know you sell Grams springs. I was just wondering as the Philipm exhaust mounts are branded as Grams?

I'm the same as you. I don't think mine sounds bad at all in my 182. I've seen alot of people over the years say the head unit and speakers are crap. I remember years ago one of my front speakers blew in my 172 so I bought one from a 172 cup on ebay. It was alot lighter with a much smaller...

+1 for the Avons. I've been running them for a while after @imprezaworks recommended them. I was only getting about 5000 - 5500 miles from the Rainsports, the Avons are lasting roughly twice as long. They're decent in the dry and wet.

Good luck. Keep us posted. You said the underside of the car is covered in mud. It might just be something as simple as an abs ring caked in s**t.

Good luck. Hopefully the new battery will sort out your problem.

It might do. Like I said before. I've never heard of the immobiliser light staying on continously. Having said that. My 182 died on a supermarket car park. There was no indication there was a problem with the battery, it was the original battery though and 8 years old. It had been starting OK...

I'd try the new battery on the car first. It could just be something as simple as an old battery not holding enough charge and this cold weather will be affecting it even more.

What car is it?

So it never flashes? What does it do when the ignition is off and you lock the car? Ive never heard of the light staying on continously before. Maybe you could get a picture or video if it's visible enough. How old is the car battery?

Is it a flashing red light? That's the immobiliser. That's the only light you should see on the instrument panel when the ignition is off. Can't help with your battery drain. Have a look for user @DomP182 and his posts. You might find some helpful information there.

If it was me I'd take the wheels off and check if the abs rings are covered in mud.

Nice one. You'll have to get some pics and info up when you get it.

The white stripes were only an option on Racing blue.

There are 3 blues. The 2 above, Racing blue and Artic blue and the very rare Petrol blue

Iirc liquid yellow was a £1500 option :oops:

There must have been alot of s**t salesmen if they couldn't squeeze another £395 out of the buyers. For less than a grand you could have had both cup packs and Recaros.

Like @Touring_Rob says.i don't have a problem with the size of the steering wheel. You'll be lucky if find one were the thumb grips haven't split ( these can easily be replaced) or the steering wheel hasn't melted. It's common. The first time I got into a 172 nearly 20 years ago I thought I was...

That's the one thing I never liked when I had. 172, the wheels. Strange you should say about the size of the wheels . I think exactly the same about the 182 wheels, the seem to look bigger than 16".
