Looks like you got away with it with not driving too far 👍 How did you actually manage to put double the amount of oil in? 🤔 1 x 5 litre plus a little splash more is enough.

I had a burning plastic smell just before the fans motor failed. Check that.

Looks like another mystery CS poster. Has a problem. Asks advice for said problem, but never comes back on to read the solution or give anymore info. It always baffles me when people do that 🤔

Which model of icarsoft have you got?

Booked in at Birchdown in 2 weeks time 🤞 I'll drop it off the day before. Good they have a courtesy car cos it's a 180 mile round trip.

Cheers for the advice 👍 I had a feeling it was the release bearing. I'll give Birchdown a ring in the morning.

Clutch is original, 17 years old and 116k miles. Are we talking new clutch time or can I live with a while longer?

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...
