Been refreshing the suspension on my 182 and noticed the trailing arms are a bit grotty, short of total removal what do you guys do to halt rust? I've thought of just a wire brushing and Acf50 or just wiping over with old engine oil. Is that a bit of a naff idea? Sent from my SM-G903F using...

I've got an advisory (or rather 6) that makes no sense to me. Here it is, can anyone enlighten me? Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk

Basically my 182 has failed the mot for a leaking rear shock and cracked rear eibach sportline spring. I've got the standard cup pack springs and shocks in my garage so would just putting them on the rear be ok until I can get hold of some more just to get it through the mot which has expired...

Not driven my 182 for about two weeks and went to start it to take for an MOT but it just clicks and the esp and serv light comes on, not even trying to turn over. It has a fairly new battery but I've put it on charge and it showed about 11volts, I'm not into electrics but could that be all it...

I'm looking to replace the rusty bleed nipples on both my 182 and our 05 scenic when I service the brakes. Anyone know what sizes I need short of me buying more sizes than I need? Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk

I'm unfortunately having to get a van so not sure if I can keep my 182. It's due the belts doing soon but I'm wondering if is worth me doing it financially or sell it less the cost of the belts change? It's pretty tidy and standard bar eibachs and a scorpion exhaust and on 80k. What do you...

Belt are all now due so I'm looking at what I should be getting done other than timing and aux belt and dephaser, and where is best place to get them please.

Mine must be gone due to the jerkyness on and off the throttle, not really wanting a vibrating dash so is oe the best and cheapest option? Any idea how much

I've changed so much on my front end but still got some unnerving handling at times. I've personally replaced- Rack bushes Wishbones Inner track rod ends Outer track rod ends Topmount bearings On the rear I've had new shocks circa 20k ago. Unless the rears are shot again (can't see any...

Done my wishbones today, pretty rusted up so it was a nightmare and ruined a ball joint pinch bolt. Do I need to get 4 wheel alignment done or is regular alignment acceptable? Also anyone got a spare ball joint pinch bolt they want to sell me?

Think I've asked this before but has anyone ever gone from a 182 to vw transporter 102bhp? I know it will be horrible but I really need a van and would like some positive feedback, 0-60 in 18 seconds suppose it can be remapped for a bit more power and when up and running may not be too bad.

My ball joints have got a bit of movement that im hoping is what is giving me squirmy handling, is it still a case of replacing the whole wishbone (78k 182 on originals) or just do the ball joints if I can find them separately ?

Is a worn mount causing my 182 to jerk when lifting of the throttle? The engine doesnt seem to move about much if revved when stationary but i wonder if its the gearbox mount. If I didnt have man flue Id investigate it but just wondered everyones thoughts

Ive got the usual problem of sloppy steering, I've personally done the rack bushes, inner and outer track rod ends, new tyres and had tracking done. To me it seems the uj in the footwell is worn and on my old 1.8 16v clio I welded it up which transformed it. Can this be done on a 182? If it can...

I've missed my auxiliary belt change which should have been last year (4 years and 32k since last) do I just get the cambelt done while it's being done. Seems like the sensible thing considering I would have to travel 2.5 hrs to get it done at Diamond Motors unless anyone knows of someone closer...

Could the dodgy connection where my steering wheel radio control plugs into the back of the radio also be affecting my lack of radio display and the intermittent playback of my ipod and cd player? REEAALLY BEGINNING TO CHEESE ME OFF.

My ball joints look pretty rough and I was going to replace them before getting my tracking done having just put new inner tie rods and ends on. Is it likely that the wishbone bushes are shot as well at 71k?

Think I'm going to replace these as they are about the only thing I haven't done, where is the best place to get then and a rough cost?

I've been replacing a few bits lately, I've done top mounts, rack bushes, inner tie rods and track rod ends but still not got razor sharp steering back like it was. The ball joints seemed ok but I may just change them to rule them out. Wishbone bushes are probably original @70k but couldn't...

I've done lots of searches and haven't really find a conclusive answer to this, where and what part number do I need to order to get the right length inner tie rod? I've seen some for a kangoo 4x4 that seems right on micksgarage part no. Ss6263. And ideas?

I've asked and searched this before but it's doing my nut in now. My radio steering wheel controls keep disconnecting so I pull the radio out, pull the plug, push it back in again and it will work for may be 1/2 an hour. The plug is in tight and the cable doesn't appear snagged though it surely...

Got my rear bumper smashed and insurance want to get a national repairer to muck up my 182. Can I demand cash in lieu? Or get spray shack to sort me out.

Got hit on the near side rear bumper this morning scuffing it up and breaking the mounting where it meets the rear quarter as well as gouging bits of the bumper. The guy who hit me was rear ended himself pushing him into me. Should I/can I push for a new rear bumper ? Or take cash if offered...

Trying to reduce play in my steering, on my old 16v I welded up the universal joint which made the world of difference. Is this part similar on the 182 as in do the still have a plastic part that can wear? Found my rack bushes were loose yesterday which is embarrassing as it was me who put the...

While trying to get my useless connects2 to work yesterday I discovered a spare plug tapped up in the space below the radio. It's not the cd autochanger one it's just a two wire plug. Anyone know what it's for?

I've noticed on shifting up and down on spirited drives it feels like my engine is moving around a lot. Which mount is likely to be at fault, can't see much movement at standstill.

I want to order a replacement pump before taking out the old one on my 04 182, can anyone tell me which is the right pump for my front washers?

Im pulling my hair out, I've fitted a connects2 ctarnipod003.2 but my ipod disconnects from it constantly when turning the ignition off. Also my steering wheel stalk is intermittent at best, checked the plug which is ok. Any ideas?

Right here is a weird one, I've bought a connects2 ipod system that replaces the autochanger. Fitted and all working, or so it sseemed. Weirdly all radio, cd work fine on all speakers but on ipod only the left hand side speakers work. Disconnected and reconnected and still the same? Surely...

My 182 is feeling like a mount has worn or so I think. When I'm coming to a stop or when braking hard I get a feeling through the pedals sort of a vibration . Another thing I've noticed is particularly when facing down hill on my drive reverse can be hard to select. Is this a worn engine mount...
