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...

I've got a scenic with the usual egr valve blocking problem, it's a euro 4. Is it as simple as remove egr and fashion a blanking plate from alloy to cover the hole leaving the egr plugged in if I want to delete it?

Just replaced my top mounts and there seems to be a change in design. My old ones had a metal collar inserted down through it that was missing in the new ones. Then the final part(inside the engine bay) in my old ones came as one with a raised collar that went over the but that holds the shock...

I'm putting new top mounts on tonight and track rod ends and I'm returning to standard camber. Is there a rough way of setting it somewhere near if I can't get out of work to get it properly tracked so I can drive to work until my next days off?

I'm going to be replacing track rod ends and top mounts and I'm considering going back to original camber. Has anyone else gone back to standard and did it make much difference. I'm finding it very unstable on rougher streets/roads.

Hi, my 182 has just failed on emissions, the readings from the two tests they ran were- C02 7.06 then 6.62 Hc 236 then 186 Second test seemed to have been 15 mins after the first. In all fairness I forgot to warm it up before the test, it's a standard cat with scorpion. Any ideas how to get...

My 182 lmu and head unit are having I few problems. First of all the stalk control stopped working then the display only works intermittently. In all honesty I haven't had it apart to see if there is a loose connection just wondered if this is likely or is it something else.

Why can't my local tyre place get my steering wheel straight when doing my tracking. I've been back twice now and it's still 1-2 inches off straight. They also always blow torch the crap out of my track rod ends. Might just alter either side myself

Not sure this is going to work but will give it a try, what should follow is the print out of my tracking done after fitting camber bolts. My local garage is crap so I need to go back to get my steering wheel straight but what do you lot think?

So I had - 1.00 left, - 0.38 right camber and - 0.06 left, - 0.08 right toe. I've then put camber bolts on to the max but my garage with hunter system says I now have less camber( roughly - 0.38 a side ) and toeing in 0.17. How is this possible? They did say setting the toe back to - 0.06...

I've done these today, wow what a sod without ratchet spanners. Feels better though. My question is how tight should I have done the 13mm clamp bolts up, I've thread locked them and done them up to what I felt was pretty tight

Got my tracking done and had my camber checked at the same time, I've got - 1.0° left and - 0.38 right is this enough for me notice? I'm not happy with how my car feels through corner sago would like to get them at least even if not increased to - 1.5

Not the environment but my car! Basically it's not blowing cold, things I've done are :checked the cogs in the footwell which are all good and you can hear the clunk when ac is on. The fan by the interior light runs so no problem there. What I do know is the pump clutch isn't engaging...

Firstly sorry but I've read all the threads and they are so contradictory. I've got the tuner list not update. What I want is a simple auxiliary to ipod 3.5 mm jack but keep reading that I need different units like connects 2etc. I realise I will lose all but volume control from the...

Basically I've got a few products but need some other bits to do a good clean/polish. The ones I have are autoglym shampoo, mer Polish, autoglym egp, autoglym tyre dressing. What else should I use like an iron/tar remover etc. And where is best to get them in one shop or online site?

Short of removing them is there a way of identifying worn top mount bearings?

Just had my tracking done which has made it feel better turning in, before It was 0°08' total toe, now its - 0°14'total toe. Does a bit of toe out improve cornering turn in our is it psychological?

Anyone ever done this and can I do it if my refrigerant has leaked out?

How annoying, after a year of no air con I finally parted with 50 quid to get it re gassed which was near empty. Anyway after all that it turns out my pump isn't running, are there any checks I can do or easy fixes or am I going to have to shell out a few hundred just for a few weeks of...
