Guys What should the idle/fast idle CO level be on a 182 (warm engine) A mate was setting the CO reading to 2% (normal air) which to me didnt seem right (seemed a bit too high not thast I'd know educated guess) I will be doing some tests later to see if I have a faulty Lambda or screwed...

Right had my engine changed a while back and last night this came on. I'm going to pop back tommrow but wondered if you guys may know what itl be. Most likely going to be a sensor (I think) The gearbox light popped on for a few seconds when I was revving it and turning right:S As in if...

Right well as some of you know I had a new engine dropped in my 182. I would have done it myself 1. I dont have the tools and 2. I need the car 1 one piece working etc.. Anyway thats not important what will make you smile is the fact that when I got the car back there was the following...

Just chatting on our local car forum & having a discussion with a mate on there about Collinite 476 he reckons it will last a year I'm very skeptical that ANY wax could last a year. Thoughts people?

Real quick one Guys. How much would you lot be charging to change an engine over (excluding belts) Also how long does it take approximately? Edit: whats the book time in hours? How long does it take in relaity? Thanks!

Can I get away with changing just the fanbelt or do I need to other crap (idler tensioner etc..) also? No abnormal noises coming from the belt so thought I'd probably be okay changing the belt, Thoughts?? Many Thanks

Anyone got the weight of a 172/182 engine please? Doesnt need to be exact just ish. Nothing on a search that I could see Thanks

I have done a search but not found much info really. Basically how difficult is it to pop a 172PH1 throttle body on a 182? (not for me just finding out some info for a friend) Just so you have a mech body rather than electronic. Thanks

Wheres the cheapest place to buyfor a 182? Not overly bothered about 'Magnecore' ones but if ther're cheaper than OE.... Online or retail. One of mines buggered. Would my local 'Halfrauds' stock a set?

Driving today i got a tiny chip (size of the end of a pen) in the left hand side of my windscreen, as im not fully comp i was thinking of this kit here...
