Hi gaz, sounds the exact same mate.
It happened again last night, going along fine then splutter/chug followed by me trying to accelerate but the car wouldnt budge at all, the revs were stuck @ 20rpm but the car was not moving. I tryed to put some power down but nothing happened, there was a...
Yes mate i know it's under warranty but i thought i'd ask some helpful peeps on the forum to get a bit of advice.
Reno as you know tend to stuff something up on your car when you take it in that was'nt there before.
Thanks for the advice tho.
Not a clue about the crushed petrol feed, how does that happen.
Spark plug lead, again don't know i was poking about and didnt notice anything which looked out of place.
How likely is this to happen again anyone want to take a guess, i'm reluctant to take it to Reno if i can help it!
Checked them, i even took a battery charger thingy to it, although it was impossible to get it right on the terminals - stupid place that they are in.
I must admit it eventually started after a long time turning it over, i really don't think it was that to start with, it wouldnt have caused...
Hi folks, right where do i start.....
Driving my 182, went over a speed hump rather heavily ( don't think that's owt to do with the problem tho) then drove for another couple of miles home then it starting to go t!t$ up!!
Suddenly the car started to chug and splutter along rather...
That looks fantastic, great job.
They should be able to do mine then, what you reckon ( big 'ish pics )

Just got off the phone with Norwich Union.
Mentioned the words, i'll be in touch with my solicitor, hold one moment sir...
your proof of your 1yrs NCB will be in the post by 1st class is there anything else i can do for you Mr Leo182! :)
Love it.
Jobs a good 'un.
As far as i know it has all been sorted 100% her fault and her insurance company has admitted so to.
Need this sorted because it will add over £400 to my policy, no way im i paying that :(
I had a accident in June 05 and i was then with Norwich Union Direct.
They sorted out my car repairs no problem, totally happy with that.
Now i've just had to renew my insurance (3/9/05) and went with Greenlight as they gave me the best quote.
Now then today i got a letter from...
Hmm it could be a cadillac.
Heres a bigger pic, quality is not great as its zoomed x4 on my mobile.
It seems to have no badge on the front, all Bentleys do i think.

Dont think so, although as i dont really know it could be lol!
Think Clarkson drove it in the States, desert perhaps although i might be mixing the cars up.
Just seen this at my local TGI Fridays while i was having a munch.
What a beast of a motor, proper gangster looking i think it was on Top Gear, JC drove it if i remember rightly.
One of the blokes who got in the thing was a Man Utd player, hes a bit of a c@ck so ive heard.
Here it is...
Right here goes...
My insurance runs out tonight and silly me thought i could do it now at this very minute BUT i didnt bank on Greenlight insurance being closed - shut at 12 today of all days :@
Now my second cheapest company shuts at 4pm today but the difference in price is this...
Glad youve exampted me from the above comment Darren S, i was lucky i suppose it could have been worse.
I agree about America though, its a joke over there regards these things.
I think your right about that Asbestos suit, i now look forward to the onslaught lol!!
Cheers all for all the feedback.
Im still thinking about what to put in my letter.
I think im right in thinking i should get a bit more - judging by the figures mentioned here. I think a driving course or a theory update would be a good idea for her as she admitted to me that she had just...
^ well maybe not double but it doesnt seem to have come down on these online quote forms asnd i can only think its because i now have to declare ive had an accident - even though it wasnt my fault at all.
I wont be accepting this offer anyway, not good enough for me in my opinion.
Heres...
Out of curiosity ive just done an online quote with Bell Direct, result.......................
£1746.15 Ouch!!
kennyg pulling a fast one methinks lol!!!!
kennyg cant believe that mate, exactly the same circumstances and im being quoted £1,700 by all companys except Greenlight around £750 ithink it was and Adrain Flux £800ish
Seems very cheap, do you live on the moon lol!!
Alright guys n gals need some feedback please.
I had a accident in June and appointed my local solicitor to pursue a claim as i was slighty injured, 1 week of work due to lower back pain etc.
Today i recieved a letter from my solicitors detailing my mediocal records - after i had to see...
Right guys, wonder if anyone can help me out here.
Ive read through all the info and ive decided to but a PC to tidy up my Black/Gold 182.
Few questions i have are
1. Looking to buy the Sonus DAS Polisher Kit from Autopia at $179.95 what you guys think?
2. Will i be hit with a big...

I know the feeling mate.
Ive just got my 182 back from the bodyshop after some repairs, had a 1.7 Astra diesel for 3 weeks and that was slow but actually quite decent to drive!
Ive sure missed my 182, what a difference between the two, amazing.
^ Seems ok but will check it out.
Spoke to a local solicitor today, a no win no fee one i must add ( arent they all these days) seems to think i have a decent claim, coming to see me on Friday.
Suppose ive nowt to lose.
Btw picking up my courtesy car tomorrow, should i ask for a decent...
Hi guys, just thought id write a quick update.
Car is now with the body shop guys ( Macclesfield Motor Bodies if anyone knows them) spoke to a nice bloke who inspected the damage but he told me they can only repair whats mentioned in the fax from Norwich Union.
Not too happy about this as i...
^ you wouldnt beleive the lack of damage to her car, a very slighty cracked front bumper unbelievable, shed of a Rover 216 L reg she was driving oh and she is a Doctor grrrrrrr
