I know, this is why I'm weighing up options. If I do sell, what do i replace it with? Is it gonna be a bag of s**t? Will i regret selling it - Yes defo!
I'm beginning to wonder if keeping it as a daily is no longer a viable option! Maybe look at fixing it, and using it as a toy?
Or, bite the...
Yep. I'm now weighing up options on whether to sort it, or sell it. Which will be a massive shame as it's a great car and I absolutely love it. But the bill for the gearbox might be more than I can swallow financially.
I've been up to RS Tuning today who drove the car and said it's definitely something in the gearbox, possible a bearing, possibly a diff bearing. Either way its a 'box out job and the car away for a week. Not the news I needed to hear if i'm honest.
Anyone ever had this before? Is it worth...
Had an EP3 about a year ago, and can confirm, rides just as crashy as the 182. Still wouldn’t swap back to an EP3 though. Clio is way more fun for me. I didn’t get on with VTEC either.

Couldn’t agree more. Even a little lip spoiler at the top of the rear screen would be a massive improvement over nothing!

Yeah, that might make you hate the 182 [emoji23]
If I had to commute in stop/start traffic I would go back to having a motorbike in a heartbeat, I’d rather filter and get wet than sit in traffic.

Hmm,
Bugs me that I can’t have a constant temperature in the cabin. It’s either AC on and it’s cold, or AC not on and it’s boiling!

Am I missing my internal temp sensor? I though it was a long black cylinder thing!
My climate only blows warm air on any setting other than mini. I had the motors off in the footwell to zip tie the little motor thing but that’s absolutely fine, no breaks or cracks or anything. In fact it...
Am I being thick, or is my internal temperature sensor missing???
Is this why my climate is only blowing warm air on anything but mini??

Wanting to ‘upgrade’ the standard speakers in the RB182. Nothing silly, not really wanting to spend too much and don’t want any apps or a sub.
I’m not looking for groundbreaking sound from them, just something a bit better.

My biggest motoring regret after selling the last Valver was not buying a Williams. I don’t think I’ll ever be in a financial position to afford one either. Makes me very sad.

Oh and this is probably a stupid question, but will replacing the driveshaft knock the alignment out as i'd be removing the hub and attached components wouldn't I?
Ive just driven the slightly longer way home as there is a 50mph twisty section. The car feels a lot lighter on its feet than it did before this morning. Turns in much sharper and doesn't feel like I'm trying to fight the wheel to get it to turn in. if that makes sense. It's like I've given it...
Not sure from driving point of view yet as haven’t had chance to really drive properly. But for the sake of £20 and half an hours fitting, defo worth it.

Update.
Arrived at Bram Racing at 9, left about 1.
4 Michelin Pilot Sport 3 in 195/45/16 fitted and balanced, 2 Eibach camber bolts added, and wheel alignment sorted.
And Brad confirmed my suspicions about the noise coming from the front of the car, he thinks it is probably a...
The exhaust is lying under the car, and the front end is much higher than the back so I reckon it’s engineless [emoji23]

Oh I’m sure it is. And I’m sure I’ll find that out. But, I’ve had clios before so I know to expect random quirks and unexpected breakdowns [emoji23]

Just about to leave for Bram Racing. New tyres, camber bolts and alignment.
Looking forward to that.
Updates to follow [emoji41]

No idea how much elf stuff is, but Opie and ECP are still selling this Castrol at £45, and it’s off the shelf, no waiting for delivery.

Buy 2 4l bottles? Buy a 1l bottle to go with it?
Want me to change to oil for you as well? [emoji23][emoji23][emoji8]
Have to think of everything!
Seriously though, I know a lot of people on here like to stick with OEM oil, but at £22, this is a bargain for Castrol!

100% a MK5 GTi. I sold one for my 182 and it’s everything you want in a car. Especially if you get a fully loaded one. Mine had every option ticked you could want apart from the very expensive Recaros, leather interior (I don’t like leather), and DSG ‘box.
As a daily car, it was brilliant...
I bought my RB182 about 2 months ago. Mint car, 96k, no stamped history, but folder of receipts and stuff plus previous owners on here. Paid £3k for it. Wouldn’t hesitate to pay that again. Car is mint.
It’s an 04 I think, bought it about 6-8 months old. It’s spent the last couple years living the majority of the year in an oxygen tent [emoji23]
I’m trying to persuade him to take me out in it this weekend but it’s not taxed.
It is pretty mint to be fair. He has a couple things that need...
