I noticed today, when the car was stationary with the engine running, everytime I press the clutch there's a strange noise you can hear coming through the air vent. Almost like a metallic, ticking noise. When the clutch is released the noise is gone. Normally I have the music on so I don't hear...

I stand by what I said earlier. £2750 for somebody who wants to bring it back to a good condition, plus Cambelt and aux belt will need doing. It needs a lot of body work looking at the pics costing a few £££s if it's done to a good standard. For somebody who just wants to drive it and not too...

Another vote for Andy and Steve at Birchdown. It's the only place I take my 182. It's a 180 mile round trip for me 👍

He's had the car for 6 years and " no service history." 😲 it's not an engine I'd want to buy. So that's a £700ish bill straight away. He says car park dents. So I'm assuming it's got more than the odd small dent here and there. The bonnet is more than likely suffering the big dent at the front...

The new stereo didn't come with a bezel to fit round it and fill any gaps?

No service history and dents, put back to standard seats and wheels. Maximum £2750.

Maybe try putting a wanted thread on here. It's surprising what parts some people have that they no longer need.

Brembo from Autodoc only £59.58 plus £8.45 delivery. https://m.autodoc.co.uk/brembo/1657305

How did you reset it manually?

Yeah it's pretty low miles for the age 😊

Init. It doesn't seem 2 minutes ago when I bought it lol.

The car will be rust and I'll probably be dust by then 🤣

16 years and 51 weeks of ownership 😊

So it did come in handy after all 👍

These are good quality abs rings...

I had a 172 from new for 4 years. I've now had my 182 from new for almost 17 years. I can't believe how fast time as gone lol. Looks wise. I prefer the 182, the wheels the twin exhaust. As for performance there's nothing in it at all. I think some of the very late 172s had cruise and traction...

Like @Clio_fool says. You'll be hard pushed to find one sub 50k miles. You're really limiting yourself there mate. If it was me I'd raise my limit to around 70 or 80k miles and a well cared for example. Chances are any problems or parts that will have needed replacing will have been done. And...

The coolant bottle should be replaced at 100k miles? Never heard that one before. If it's the water pump you're talking about, then yeah I'd change that when you get the cam belt and aux belt done. I think I'm on my 3rd water pump in 17 years of ownership and 110k miles👍 If it ain't broke don't...

Could be your throttle body. I've seen somebody else with a problem similar to yours. They replaced the throttle body and it cured it.

Sorry for jumping on somebody else's post. There's a guy on Facebook called Craig Cockburn who was selling new led boards for the brake light. It might be worth dropping him a message if he has any left. They were £30 posted.

You sure it's not the green cruise control symbol? Get a pic up of the dash with the light on for clarification.

Even cheaper than I posted earlier, from Halfords. Bosch super plus £5.66...

I always use Bosch super plus universal wiper blades on my 182, £7.49 each from Eurocarparts. They're as good as anything I've ever used. https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/bosch-super-plus-single-universal-wiper-blade-sp21-485771100

To be honest it's not something I really look at. In my opinion it's still the best and cheapest solution and never breaks 😊

I absolutely hated getting back in my 182 after driving the Fiesta for 3 months. I'm 6'1" and just couldn't find a position I was comfortable in. It took me ages but now I'm back to being comfortable now 😊 The Fiestas a good car, bloody nippy, but the fuel consumption was poor, I floored it...

Cheers mate 👍 it's looking the best it has for years now. Coming up to almost 17 years ownership 😊

I just checked and you have a mk3 Clio? That sounds like a right pain in the arse to change. I've got a 182. I changed my fan for a 2nd hand unit back in August 2021. Still a bit of faff but probably not as bad as yours. I've done a bit of reading and it sounds like, fingers crossed 🤞, it might...

Bit of a strange one this. Yesterday i went into town and the fan was working perfectly well. When I got back In the car the fan was as dead as a dodo. The climate control panel was showing the fan speed and heat setting as it should and could be changed to different heat and speed. But no...

Was a bit nippy here too this morning in Accrington. 😮
