Holy thread bump. Just played on one and enjoyed it (felt a bit sick though!) What games are must haves? Probably going to get one soon as the wife was loving it, so a good reason to get her into it!!

So it's back on the drive after a big old check and run through at Two Techs up in Dartford. Terry mentioned, that it was a nice clean (ish) example, and that I should keep it due to it being so original. Only got the BTM exhaust from Fred as a mod. As annoying as it is, @TheEvilGiraffe was...

Thread bump, because they are both gorgeous! I'd ideally want my old BG looking something like this....

In the safe hands of the lads at Two Techs. They're a tad busy, so have left it with them for the next week or 2 to get a full diagnosis! Sis has now said she's lost the spare key as well..... yay ; (

I know! Like I'd be such as an asshole as to sell her a car that needed loads of work done on it....... oh wait?!! Yep. I always said to her, take it to a specialist, which she didn't do. Proper false economy when he charged £550 labour for the cambelt/ dephaser/ waterpump/ aux belt job. My...

My first love......

Off to Two Techs this morning to meet my sister and drop the BG182 off for the week. Let's hope it's in an ok state for a ressurection!!

Don't you ruin this for me!! #thetruthhurts

I'm well tempted to just get it nice and tidy and keep it for the odd B road blast tbh! Every time I see someone on here with a nice BG, I think back to mine. We shall see, so watch this space!

See above @Scrooge ; )

The thing is, this mechanic is her husbands mates dad, who they seem to trust, however I never have. I'm gonna get the car back this weekend, and take it to my mechanic to give it an overhaul, and run over all the things that have been done on it of late. Then I'm gonna get the small ding on it...

You're both gonna have to fight for it!! :tongueclosed:

Looks like I'm getting my BG182 back then - sister wants rid of it. I'm excited - what a f**king loser!

Sods f**king law huh!!

Reckon it's ok for a drive down from Sutton to Kent, so I can take it my garage? She says it's making some noises....

From mechanic - "It's ok there's nothing to pay, I'm going to try to manually adjust the belt to see if I can override the spring which tightens the belt." That sounds like a dodgy fix! I'm gonna get the thing down here to my old garage in Ashford, as the chief mechanic has his own 172, so knows...

But surely if she had the big cambelt/ dephaser job done, this should be fine? Or am i missing something? I know little in regards mechanics ; ( I just don't trust this mechanic she's been using at all!

New update from Sister: "So apparently now the tension belt is knackered on the car? The part is 200 plus labour!! Basically it’s making this really bad screeching noise when you turn the tyres parking but it’s not the tyres - it’s some belt thing." I don't have a clue, but I presume this is...

Lol!! They wouldn't have heard of the one I got. It's too modern!

Cheers boss. This one is indeed a beast and rather rarer than the common RS4 ; )

Random one, but whats best for cleaning these TV's? The little man likes to slap it with his grubby fingers so muggins is having to clean it every other day!

Will look into that mate. Got around 20mb (as rather rural), good enough?

Reckon the S8 will drop much in price? I'm waiting for it to be well under the £500 mark, then may upgrade it, as currently using the S6.

1k just for cambelt/ dephaser etc. Brakes/ window are on top of that.

100k @DrR haha - slight mistype.....

Don't sell a car to a family member ; )

I was going to suggest these.... Audio-Technica ATH-M40X Professional Headphones - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HVLUR54/?tag=cliospnet01-21 But the AKGs are pretty good ; )

General I believe.

So I sold the 182 and told the new owner it needs it's cambelt doing. They chased the local garage who have quoted below: "So just had call from the mechanic. It’s gonna be quite a big job - cam belt, changing water pump, some special pulley, plus other things like break pads worn, something...

No worries. Was only £30 with a sky card thing inc postage so I don't hold it against you....
