There pretty similiar, it may be a tad lower, have the same setup, the cup has been lower in the past but got picked up a little!, neither of them scrub, have cut some of the arch lining away though, only minimal bits! the 182 scrubs a tiny bit when cornering hard! around a tight roundabout etc...
Get them refurbed!, the exhaust, gaz did while i fit the centre section, it was hooped to be fair, used metal polish and wire wool to start with, then just buffed it with a cloth, its not 100%, but its a lot better!!!
Well, its a plate my dad took off an old triumph years ago! we are both called Steve Birchall, used to be spaced SB V116, but you cant do that any moor so its just spaced as it should be, been in the family about 25 years! so everyone knows who it is!!
Spent all day cleaning the cup today with gaz! (gt_gaz) big thanks to him for all his effort and use of the machine and poloishes etc!!!, I did inside on friday and gave it a good wash ready for the big day! Really impressed with the result, it was good to start with, looks great!!!
Going to...
First one could be anything mate! without hearing the noise its hard to say, there quite prone to the charcoal canister ticking in the inner wing drivers side? could it be that, belts usually make a noise or they dont if you get my drift!, second one i would say is normal, my cup is quite lumpy...
Good luck! write down the bits you know about, granted if the headgasket is just weeping a bit of oil they may not do anything! if its not pissing out and its not leaking near belts its unlikely to do any harm, what mileage is it on??
Seriously! Explain you are not happy, take a male friend / relative with you if your blokes away! tell them the faults it has! and ask then what they intend to do about it!!!!
