Buy a known used: Coilpack, leads lambda sensor. And swap them all out at once. That lot from a breaker should cost you £40 or so plus post. @stevem42 is local, so is @midge Both will have bucket loads of genuine good ones kicking about.

I have a cheap 182 for sale. Needs a bit of TLC, but will have a fresh cambelt/dephaser service done on it. In black gold. Drop me a PM if interested.

Other way round then. 3 and 4 don't need protection

Nope, leave it on there. Prevents/helps the leads from being pinched by the inlets. Leads 1 and 2 don't need them as there's not a lot of risk of that.

Yep, big one there. They're not genuine renault, no. Doesn't matter too much - it's not a pressurised seal. Mine did a good few thousand miles without leaking..

Yep, you can buy that seal. Driveshaft off. Drain gearbox. Screw a self tapper into the old seal and lever it out. Use a roll of insulating tape/similar to tap the new seal in square. Fill gearbox. Fit driveshaft. Hours work TBH...

PS3 FTW. Anything below that is sub standard.

I have a set of AST solid top mounts for sale. PM me if interested.

Find a new test centre.

Take the intake off, get a spray bottle and manually spray fuel into the TB. See if it fires.

Ironic that your Lupo has 11 year old girls in the boot. Who are unable to remember their own name. What i'm trying to insinuate, is you're a child rapist. x

Why the gay name? Only 11 year old girls name cars.

Fletch - if you want a known working one to check yours against, i've got one you can have for nothing.x x

Find a local breaker. Ask them to store all the bolts they remove when they break a car. Get them plated or whatever. Job's a good'un. If you're near Surrey, i'll have them all to collect.

Find someone breaking a 182. They'll be chucking that away. Yep, or make something. Doesn't need to be pretty under there.

Yep, i have loads of known working good ones in the shed. £10 posted for one, £15 posted for 2. £18 posted for 3.

Visual check. And if you can compress the dampers by hand, make the all the rates are the same, the move smoothly, and not too easily.

As above, will be to do with the hangers. K-tec stealths are pretty heavy. well made systems though.

Yep, i know of 3/4 cars on that list that have been broken.

You'd have to be insane. Cool car, but that's worth £2k in two years! Buying one like this is the way to go. Nothing left to lose. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1997-R-BMW-740i-COMFORT-SEATS-XENONS-RECONDITIONED-GEARBOX-MOT-P-EX-/191986807926?hash=item2cb34e3476:g:6HIAAOSwPCVX8oxx

Ignore the figure on the dyno. Test it against something real world (which you have done with a 197). Dyno figures are nothing but pub talk, as there's so many variables. Did the place with dyno also happen to offer remapping, or a modification service/health improvement?

What a beaut.

Most springs are too crashy for me on the road. Prolines are the only ones i get on with, and i've driven/owned just about them all.

That was yesterday. They'll be down to cords by now.

@Russ_16v

Without history, i'd be taking the mileage as a pinch of salt, unless MOT's back it up obviously. That said, £1800 is top money for a Ph2 172 unless it's a real low-mile minter. I'd say anywhere near £1k is a good price for you.

@Knuckles is the Mk3 man around here. He has one in the same colour as yours too! I'm sure an exhaust specialist will be able to repair it, rather than replace.

Front right pocket - coins and phone Front left - Keys Back right, wallet.

Can't you change to 15's and open up the choice massively.

@Joe Wootten What's the reason for a new engine? Your current one failed, or looking to freshen it up? Seems a bit mental to buy a new engine, if your car is a silver 182 as per your avatar...
