Is it one of the front easily accessed ones, as in can you cut a slot in it? They aren't or shouldn't be that tight

Just read this tread, I could smell a timewaster. Why all the put too much money into it rubbish? He was essentially getting cashback with the payout and cheap buyback/repair. I'm sure people threaten with breaking to try and drive the price up.

Hard to explain but it all makes sense now because it had a horrible feel through the pedal as well. I suppose it was a grind but it is well worth checking if you get it as is a free and easy fix just to post the reservoir back onto its seal/gasket

Quite simply the brake fluid reservoir touching the engine block when pulling off. I've had this for near two years and always thought it was a dodgy release bearing until I made it worse doing a brake overhaul causing the reservoir to touch constantly. Such a simple fix just wish i had noticed...

A bit like if your brake fluid reservoir touches the back of your engine block.

Just throwing it out there but I once refitted my valver cat upside down and it caused the manifold to touch the bulkhead under load, horrific noise. I bet yours is doing similar

Mine don't rub now. The passenger front did but it was because someone had put the arch lining in overlapping wrongly

Yeah that's the one I got from screwfix, I find the 0 on the handle doesn't line up with the marks on the increments. To be fair for £20 I'm probably expecting a bit much. Still better than total guessing

In answer to the torque wrench, get a half decent one not like the screwfix one I got that is difficult to set accurately

Sorry just re-read the question, I would fit the recommended 195s

They get Slated but I just put 2 toyo T1R's on the front of my 182 and I had them on my previous 172 half the price of pe3's practically

Nice welds!

Dragging this up again since I tried an easybleed but don't seem to be getting any air out. With ignition off I get a good solid pedal not so good with it on and a slight grumble noise right at the top of the pedal travel, (I'm presuming this to be air?) after that though the braking seems to...

I thought all 182 had smi racks

Problem solved, thanks.

I'm quite miniature with a monkeys grip I'm sure I will be fine. Does it just push down on with a bit of lube

Yeah wobbly alright, just syringe fluid out and pull it off

Yeah the engine is fine on its mounts and very little movement. How can i move the res. Dont want to risk it coming off

I wondered this, can i safely just push it back. I did try but im worried about detaching it from the master cylinder.

im having a nightmare, had my car on axle stands to replace my brakesbut now having done them im getting vibration through the pedals? What could possibly cause this? Also my brake reservoir is on such an angle its touching the engine, how is it held in place?

Sorted, embarassingly a flat battery.

I hope so.

^^ should read in case!

Just invade I haven't made it clear it turns say one rotation then stops like it's stuck.

Ah Thanks mate, it would be a bit of a journey wouldn't it. Perseverance will pay off I'm sure.

Cheers mate, think I'd prefer bad brakes and a car that starts though.

Yeah they are under strict instructions. Oh my old rusty calipers are somehow quite appealing now!:(

Well I kept the reservoir full the whole time but I've had the calipers off so was expecting some air but not to be such a pain to get out.

Good old fashioned two man, why it's mine touching? Moved res. Or knackered dog bone mount, it looks ok tbh.

I had read in a tread on here that it can help to clear air from the master cylinder, don't know if that's right.
