as above for the fuses and checking the relays - id pop a crank sensor on it for all they cost just to rule it out given how common they are too!

my faulty rear ABS sensor causes it to come in under 5mph when slowing on the brakes to a junction etc - doesn't bring on the ABS light but when you check the live data you see the reading dropping out under 5mph - so the car just thinks its locking up rather than a fault.

that's the correct part for a 172/182 - so assuming its genuine then that's a Febi!

As above, battery probably been flat or is going flat. Common on these, mine was in its third battery when it was sold on at 18mnths old

haha f**k yeaah!!!! Finds a good painter.... paints everything :ROFLMAO:

I forgot how awesome they were on fuel, I bought one tonight to sell on and took it a half an hour drive and averaged this...

Engines are bomb proof I wouldn't pay over the odds for a low miles one. And I would definitely try and get a higher miles facelift 17 palte on from memory as it's a better car. My Mrs previous one done 160k in 3 years from new, remapped from day 1, rear ended twice, ran into the back of a bus...

As above not worth worrying about. I've seen it a few times but MOST of them don't suffer from it so its an easy thing to fix if you choose.

Gear knob had always let it down! Was at the scrappys today and seen a Laguna coupe, ideal as I knew what I wanted from it 😂

got a video of the noise when setting off? as above check the gearbox oil level and have the clutch checked.

@SSN11 used Lemforder track rod ends at my recommendation and I'm sure one failed within about 6 months, came from Euro.

Cheap for a 182 these days so I'd say your money is safe and if your handy enough all east stuff to fix, improve and add to the value. My priority would be the fuel cap and have that taken care of before it gets worse. Also get the rear door cards off and see how it is behind them and address...

334/320 based on zero experience and zero knowledge haha

That's exactly what I was doing! I was trying to remember haha

I seen those spanners when you first posted them and thought, "cant think of a time I've needed them" then about 3 days later was stuck without a set!

its grey when cleaned and looks better in the flesh than it photos, i quite like it! my interior needs a good scrub and a few bits here and there changed, but ill get to that haha

Yeah any motor factors will cross refer to red stuff, but lovely lime green Type D is where its at! haha

This

To be honest it's actually quite nice! Feels much the same as a normal 172 in terms of driving comfort, it's probably a bit less supportive given your more likely to slide about when driven in anger but I've not really driven this hard as I've got my 182 van for that!

WOW! Excellent job, Post up a dedicated thread with more info!!! would love to see it

Love how wide it looks while still being subtle in black! - Id love a 200 diffuser for it, keeping my eyes open for a reasonably priced one!

Latest update on it! The car came with an invoice from when the previous owner "recommissioned" it as it had been off the road for about 10 years, this included a Battery, full service, fuel drained and replaced, timing belt change, MOT, etc etc - Not much change from a grand but the Aux belt...

Running sweet as a nut now, been putting miles on it and really really enjoying it!

A well deserved wash today!

Does Rlink actually let you do that? I thought it was just a USB port for USB mass storage?

I'm sure they run 0.5bar from factory which sounds like where you are when it settles. They do have an over boost function, from the press release..

my Mrs has an orange one, big step forward from the mk4, stupidly small fuel tank though 39 litres!!!

brilliant, cheers ill have a nosey see if I'm missing it, they naturally seem to want to sit just above the horn and I couldn't see anything else to mount onto so I assume I'm now on the hunt for a bracket haha

This is driving me mad!! my ph1 came with a cone filter so I've sourced and fitted a ph1 airbox for it. Now the new airbox came with the cold air feed which i realised id most likely need to remove the bumper to fit, so fast forward a few months i now have the bumper off and i cant for the life...

Spray up the inner anti roll bar bushes first before you do the arms just to confirm its not them since its an easy job to rule them out, had it quite a bit from them before.
