Gearbox oil was replaced last month when serviced. Appreciate the advice and info, however when stating that the local chap knows nothing, could you expand/explain this for me? I'm not defending him, just want a bit more info!

Time for some updates. Booked the car into a local garage who family have used for years and trust. I've just got off the phone to them and it turns out that the previous gearbox linkage part/join/thing has worn away at the gearbox seals and it's now seeping gearbox oil. Apparently it's not a...

Was at Rye Park karting today and saw this when heading home, must be on here?

Aye looks like it'll be a change in personnel!

So my suspicions were correct, the small plastic housing that joins the gear stick to the gearbox had fallen out. AA were out at 6am to look at it and he's put it back in but said it should be replaced, and the gearbox seals could do with replacing too. I'm more annoyed that this part was...

Pulling into home in first, select reverse and it won't go in. Try a few more times and nothing. Car is stuck in first no matter what, gear stick feels like a floppy arm! Jacked it up to have a look but it's dark and wet so not much to go by, feels like it's come out of its 'socket' - is this...

Ah ok. He'd parked right at the end with noone nearby!

Who was this at tesco this evening then???

Think that's J???

Yup I thought it was you!

With an m3 behind it leaving Portsmouth on the eastern road, anyone on here?

Was it you that let me out this morning good sir??? :D

MOT passed with no advisories - I'm very surprised. G 172 I'll still think about replacing the rear discs when I have some spare funds :)

I'll be in touch, midday is fast approaching for my impending doom!

I completely forgot about him!

Think my rear discs could do with replacing, they're starting to flake and corrode around the edges! Was looking on Euro Car Parts and there's a few different Pagid ones - can't seem to work out the differences apart from the cheapest one doesn't include ABS ring and BRGS. The other 2 are £50...

I've seen this one about a few times as well.

Yeh I suspect you're right mate

Just came back from picking up some new rear pads (£14.27 for 4 Pagid pads!) and thought I'd have another quick check. Loosened all of the bolts on the inlet manifold and then tightened them back up, took the car for a quick drive and it seemed fine! Wtf?!

Ahhh I see what you mean now. I'll check it on Saturday morning when I next have free time. Cheers mate :)

I must be being blind, sorry mate :(

The rings that cover the ends of the cams? I've updated on his facebook message and tried calling but his phone is off, will try in the morning. I'm a little hesitant removing the inlet cover as I'm not 100% confident.

So... I've been round the engine bay with my sockets and tightened up the bolts on the inlet manifold - the noise has gone! Great! However... Approaching a roundabout after a few mins driving back home, come to a stop, clutch engaged ready to pull away and the car stalls! Wtf?! Start it back...

Can't recall seeing it, I did see another black 182 heading towards Radlett last night actually, think the reg was YN04

That would've been me, thought I saw someone heading towards Radlett yesterday!

I'm going to have a proper check tonight when I get my tools and see if I can find the problem, otherwise I'll be heading back up the A1

Sorry, meant intake.

Plugs weren't changed, however the leads were removed as the head was taken off to do a timing check. Both of the cam seals were replaced as the old ones broke when taken off, they seem to be wedged in pretty tight. I don't have any of my tools with me so can't properly check until the weekend :(

Sounds like it's coming from the spark plugs???!

Yeh I only noticed it yesterday on the drive down the A1 when coming home, he's just responded to me saying it's 100% an air leak and check all the screws so going to nip outside and have a look. Please stay dry Watford...
