That means getting the pressure washer out every other day though!

172 I think, it was dark, bout 10.10pm ish. Nice run up there!

So the girlfriend is using the car for work, and it seems the car park has a lot of birds flying over. It's a problem for everyone there. Any hints/tips on getting them off? Been going out each night with the mitt and bucket, but if there is a spray or something, I am keen to try anything ; (

Lepsons it is then! ; )

Can anyone recommend some good companies in the Maidstone/ Ashford/ Canterbury area for alloy refurbishing? 2 are curbed to hell and back, other 2 have the odd scrape here and there. Ideas of cost would be good as well. Cheers all.

Any idea on how to check whether it is or not?

The breakdown chap the other wk mentioned my exhaust was on its way out which I was aware of, however he also said it wouldn't help the MPG. Anyone heard that before? ? Its blowing a bit and is the original on an 05 182.

Cheers Danny. Will have a ganders later ; )

Only had my 182 for a wk so not sure how the electrics or half the crap works on this car! The radio makes a double beep noise then turns off. I then have to turn the thing on again. It seems to be 20mins or so into a journey. Its a 182 and the standard head unit. Any ideas would be welcome. JC

I just got one, had some issues first day mind you! s**t happens! They are awesome cars and I'll be keeping her for some time!

Megs Gold it was then! Cheers

Off to Halfords. Any suggestions? Cheers

Let me know what you pay for the alloys. Need mine done but not sure on cost. I have the anthracite ones that have been kerbed to hell and back! ; (

What's the going rate on refurbing the anthracite wheels?? Got some that need looking at, Maidstone/ Ashford area. Cheers

FSH. Last owner was for 7 yrs!! Think it was one of those things. (He says! ) Just moved it earlier to get the missus car out and it was fine. I just don't trust going anywhere further until it's looked at. I do tinker with cars but seeing as this is new to me will let the guys have a look, then...

But when its cutting out at traffic lights trying to 'save' itself it gets a little tedious! Will call the garage first thing and get it sorted ; )

*know

Is that one too look for or are you having me on? I am a noob and no less than nothing! ; )

Read my 1st day of ownership post in general. Got 'recovered' last night after stalling at traffic lights in town! ; )

Flux capacitor must have been done when the Cambelt was done. I'll get the sensor done, flush the coolant then start thinking about a new exhaust, as its blowing and looks pretty fooked. Just don't want a super loud bad boy edition exhaust ; )

Oh, so can't replace it at all?? He said the exhaust smelt like it was running quite rich and that the state of the exhaust wouldn't help mpg (original and nearly gone). Then he mentioned that I should check fuel filter and potentially replace.

Yeah, relatively simple. when someone mentioned Cambelt I was thinking my Renault love affair would be very brief...... ; )

Engine coolant sensor gone rogue!! Causing engine to cut off in order to 'save' it. Also he mentioned the fuel filter could do with replacing and to get a coolant flush. I won't be able to get parts tomorrow so will prob get local garage on the case and get it sorted. Made me smile when the guy...

I think it's water temp like you mentioned. That dropped to nothing but was still driving like normal.

What ever the gauge next to the petrol is! That dropped, but was still driving Ok, then far right handside eml came on, not Central one.

Cambelt, in what sense? ? It was last done in nov 2011.

Yeah, massive suckage. Will get a diagnostic check. It was fun while it lasted. A whole 9 hrs of ownership! #fml

Yes! Plenty of oil. Will get the guy to run ems check and see what the crack is ; (

Broken down, oil temp dropped to 0 but was still driving Ok. Them engine mng light came on, still driving Ok, then stalled/ cut out at traffic lights. Starter motor turning but engine not firing at all. Low ish on petrol but lights not on. Any ideas people?? Got green flag on there way ; (...

Picked my new 182 up. Still not warmed her up properly to see what she can but am loving it so far ; )
