Pics would be good, not sure if the 182 sufferes the same as the 172 but I get a rattle/vibration noise at about the 3k mark I pretty sure its coming from the cat area. I have recently changed to a stainless steel system from the cat back, thinking the noise might go if it was the exhaust but...

Excellent work mate, im really getting a taste for all this detailing lark!!

I know mate truely ashamed I let it get that bad. It got to the point where I didnt care anymore because it was so swirly, but wanted to keep the car clean so I just kept getting it washed every week. I have to admit that I didnt know that it was that bad until we had it under the artificial...

Hi Alan, probably would be best to give him a call mate, speak to him and tell him what you want done, he uses some of the best products on the market, acheiving excellent results. As you can see,there is know way this could have been done by hand so needed a professional touch really to get me...

Hi Rich before he actually started he was measuring the paint with one of those electronic gauges, the readings varied slightly across the paint, ranging from about 130 microns up to 150/160 ish. In order to correct the paint, because the damage varied quite alot across the car, i think the...

The dude who did it said he had never seen anything as bad as that!! To be honest I was a little unsure as to whether to show the photos, was quite ashamed I could let it get that bad!!!! When I moved house a couple years back I found it hard to clean the car myself, not having the space/...

Im a little worried now this light came on my 182 the other week but went off after a few days, I only ever use v power but do have an aftermarket exhaust fitted, would they blame this? Warranty is up in less than a month and is booked in for next week. Would it fail an mot the fact that its...

Follow the website look under gallery and testimonials, my car is the black/gold 182.. www.perfectcarcare.co.uk I have spent the best part of the last couple of years using the cheap hand car washes £7 jobbies, and this im sure is the result of all that..... Rob.

There seems to be mixed reviews on this uprated mount which is available, just curious to know really has anybody seen or experienced failure of the other mounts due to having this uprated mount fitted? Have they been round long enough for this to happen yet? Im having issues with my 182 at the...

Every 2 years or 12k mate, not sure on cost... Rob.

Hi all,I have just an aftermarket exhaust on my 182 which I imagine has nothing to do with this problem but why would this have happened do you think? Before the light came on I had, had the car jacked up on one side checking for leaks around the cat, and did start the car why it was at that...

Right ive just been out there checking my cat all seems fine no visible cracks or leaks. Also checked the exhaust mounts they seem fine no cracking or wearing, the clearance of the exhaust and heat sheilds seems fine aswell!!!!!! Ive removed the tray from underneath the car as I thought it might...

Not personally checked that Tom would/ could it have come loose? Also now you mention that before this magnex was fitted I had this ressonating noise at about 2800-3000 rpm which did sound like it was coming from the front end of the car ( different noise to what im on about) but since having...

Bloody hell thats long sorry..

Ive had a Magnex cat back exhaust on my 182 for about 2 years now and apart from the numerous warranty replacments they have never caused this awful vibration/ rattling noise which I get now and has been for a few months. Since having the new Magnex and uprated rear mounts I was hoping it would...

I use them mate, to be honest they seem to have slipped a bit in my overal rating of local dealerships. On the plus side the head tech there Matt knows the 172/182/v6 very well he used to own a 172 cup and is completely clued up on all there problems, everytime I go there I never get fobbed off...

Could be your spark plugs mate, possible you might have got a bit of water in by your spark plugs? The reason I say that coz this is what happened to my 182, i needed new plugs and leads which cured the problem. Check your spark plugs for corrosion. Rob.

Lol, count me in Rory, tell them to get a move on, maybe first bach off the production line!!!!

Great news Rory, bout ' kin time if you ask me been waiting for this for ages!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep us updated... Rob.

Magnex have had problems with there 182 system so they have had to redesign the system and have produced some uprated rear mounts. Myself and Maz on here are awaiting the new system to arrive which should be in a couple of weeks, but im not holding my breathe, been delayed so many times now...

Hi mate I have these springs fitted to my non cup 182 ,sadly no pics but definatly will lower the car and will feel loads better on the road id say get them! Rob.

Hi mate when you here this rattle does it sound like its coming from up the front of the car? The reason I ask this is because I have this ressanance, rattling on mine which happens at about 2500-3000 rpm and really noticable in say 3rd-4th gear, it mostly sounds like its coming from the front...

with the water magnets should you fold it and wipe like you would with a leather or pat your car dry? I own a megs water magnet and it just doesnt seem as soft anymore as what it was when new, ive only washed it a couple of times in the washing machine using just cleaner not fabric softner but...

They probably list it as all that so as when people do a search for a car, ie; cup,2002,172,182 etc that car will show up opening it up to a larger audience....... Maybe??? Rob.

Lol... Maz ive been told to phone back at the end of the month before I can get mine. I did mention to steve (magnex) that this will be it for me if this one is no good. Do they ever contact you because they are always telling me to phone back at certain times,dates etc?? Rob.

Site was being a bit dodge when I was trying to search ed172cup would be nice also if the guides section was sorted out....

Hi, do i remove the old air feed and acoustic valve or can I just leave them both in place? Rob.

Thanks Fred. Do you know the minimum thickness a disc gets to before it needs changing? Is it the same both front and rear?
