Belts now done courtesy of @Dan@SJM, there was a small hole in the exhaust which was welded up. Waiting on a pair of rear shocks as the rear left is completely dry, and THE SHITTY OLD HEADLIGHTS ARE GOING.

Recirculation flap?

Fork method is for the win. If you've got a fairly skinny fork you can slide the prongs either side of the needle.

Doesn't matter, as long as you can push it down to 0.

^yeah, just pushed on. When you put them back on, turn the spindle anticlockwise until it hits the lower stop, then put the needle on halfway up and push it down to 0. If you go too far, you'll have to go right back up the gauge and push it against the top stop before you try it again.

10/10 for reading ;) He did 3 and they came back clear.

I think it would have had to have been pretty fucked to be written off at 1.5 years old!

Falmouth Divers fella. Stick your name down if you can make it :)

Welcome to the region! My uncle's got a company down in Penryn, always thought it was nice down there. We do have a meet in Par on the 25th, be glad to see you there!

My car's been passed around like a dutch hooker. A car could have had one abusive owner or a hundred careful ones.

In the report he says that the starter motor heatshield is missing, there's a motability kit fitted, and it has a Ph.1 engine. Those are the only real faults he lists.

Not as far as I've seen, not worse than how it left the factory. Links?

There are plenty of people who would like to have built in navigation. It still works and you can still get updated maps for it so I don't see how it can be redundant. What's this about a fire hazard? Was never mentioned in Fred's report on it.

Fcuking lol. It's a reasonably tidy 182, in LY, and it's the only one with satnav. Having a different F4R in it makes zero real world difference. Even if you knocked £1k off, it'd still be worth over £2500. IMO.

s'alreet :) Oli, your meggy friends are more than welcome, although I think I'm going to end up being the only clio!

Sure can do!

Deader than Elvis. Sounds like a bucket full of Nayls!

I reckon there's no gas in it. You can unplug the pressure sensor, bridge it whilst the aircon is switched on, and if suddenly the pump starts kicking in and out then that's your problem.

Just get an induction kit if you have to get anything. Cheaper than an exhaust, sounds good and is only noisy when you boot it.

Yup, self levelling linkage. Hooks into the rear beam there, a bolt and a nylock nut will see that one working again, if you knock it through and make it a through hole (just don't do it up tight)

I don't know if it's possible in CLiP but I'd imagine with a relay, an ignition live feed and a bit of creative thinking it could be bodged.

So it doesn't turn like one of these any more? :(

That would be incredibly effective if it weren't for the fact that the oil cap on a 1*2 is in fact made of very not-magnetic plastic. ;) Suppose you could prod it though.

This is getting good, but I feel sorry for the OP.

Share the crack around, it must be good s**t.

How the f**k did you afford to pay for membership to this place?

Not much point worrying about it. If I got a ticket then there's nothing I can do now to change that, so it's just a wait and see job.

Between 60-65, slowing from 70 into a 50 roadworks. Leeway in that limit is 57mph.

I'm on a 'did I or didn't I' period at the moment. Was a bit over the threshold but slowing down, as I came around the corner a speed camera van was sat on a bridge over 700 metres away. I'm half hoping my plate was hidden behind the centre armco while the last few mph were dropping off but I'll...

Chances are, with a laser gun, they're firing around a corner and trapping you as you come into view. By the time the detector's gone off, they've probably already got you. Radar has a much shorter range, but most 'proper' equipment is laser these days, and radar limited to handheld guns...
