Keep the 182 and save up to buy something that isn't s**t and french.

You think you have problems? In the last 8 months: Gearbox Clutch Driveshaft Wheel bearings Alternator Fuel Injector Earth strap Starter motor Wheel fell off. I don't think it's long off being a completely different car to the one I bought 5 years ago

No doubting the mechanical side of things, but it does look like something a 13 year old would create, playing need for speed.

Same one that cut me up the other day and waved two fingers out the window?

You've probably seen me about then, Mrs lives in chesterfield so I'm there all the time. Filthy orange car making a ridiculous noise?

Epic wheels. Need carbon centre caps though

Would this be the same one that was parked up in Matlock Bath that day?

F1 cars are normally bombing up there at 180mph ;)

You could break that for more than £2K surely?

That much? Must be stronger than I thought :o

Exactly? Not sure, but it's between 25 and 30kg

You've had this one a while haven't you?!

IT LIVES! b*stard french piece of s**t. Think the starter was just jammed, had it up on axle stands, checked all the bolts for the starter, everything looked fine, checked the TDC sensor, tried starting it in the air, and it still didn't want any of it. Put it back on the ground, must have...

Good guess actually, i did put it back together myself :dapprove:

Why is there no "like" button on here?

Re: Diagnosis before I burn the f*cker? Not tried bump starting it yet, my house is at the bottom of every hill around. Will get the tow rope out tomorrow and trying bump starting it with a tow. Plan of action: Bump start Smash starter with hammer Burn Buy S4.

Wire fire. That's the worst kind of fire.

Re: Diagnosis before I burn the f*cker? Can't be, i bought a new one two weeks ago, and had the multimeter measuring voltage between the positive terminal and bodywork.

Re: Diagnosis before I burn the f*cker? Click me, I'm a video: That's my issue.

Re: Diagnosis before I burn the f*cker? LOL I've not seen that? Starter motor is a b*****d to get to, which is why I'm dreading it being at fault. Going to get it jacked up tomorrow and smash the s**t out of a few things.

Re: Diagnosis before I burn the f*cker? Fook knows anymore. All I have is a clicking. Immobiliser light goes out as well, so it's nothing to do with that.

After the wheel nearly falling off this morning, I thought my day couldn't get much worse. Turns out I was wrong. The car won't start now. Im just getting a clicking from the (starter motor?). It's not the battery, I've had the car on jump leads and its still not working. Battery voltage is...

Nope it's not gone anywhere, just been dead for 6 months. Cat C means it's worth £6.99

You bought Chris's old shell? My car's sat outside with stuff growing on it. I care about it that much. Really badly want an S4, but need the monies, and can't sell this orange thing.

Yeah, VOSA note against the 172 cup. They need showing it.

What have you done.

Just downloading top gear now, cool little app

Didn't this used to be supercharged?

You won't get it raspy without a decat. The decat gives it the rasp.

Oil pressure switch yep. Won't harm anything, just throws the oil light up.
