29-30 mpg isn't bad, especially with a manifold and induction kit on.
I would think the manifold has made it sound like that, the induction kit will give a roar, but the manifold adds a rorty raspy sound usually. (I could be wrong though)
God yeah, thanks!! I loved that Saab to be honest, but missed my 182 too much. My new one isn't much to look at but it will be. Nothing like yours of course!!

I went to screwfix who told me I needed hss drill bits, the bloke who did it used cobalt so that was a fail on my part (screwfix) from the start. Glad it's back now though. Much better apart from a bit of scrubbing at the front on turning hard. Think it's the et40 wheels so need some spacers. :(
Update time.
Had noticed the car sat funny at times, the front would be different heights either side. Initially thought it was down to the surface, so decided to get some replacements and have a look.
Well here were the springs I removed, dangerous much??
And then the fun began, took the rear...
Well I'm yet to pick it up (kids ftl!!) but it's done!! Thank god for that. Don't know how much it cost, that's the worrying bit, but at least it's back, safer than before and I'll be driving it tomorrow!!! :)
£40 minimum. I've read of people paying £10 and £20 to have It done but my car was pretty much stuck where it was, didn't fancy driving it anywhere. He's a good bloke though so...
Over a barrel sorings to mind. 😧
On a plus note, picked up a bolt almost identical to the original but...
It certainly is. It's in the hands of a mechanic who I'm hoping will succeed in drilling it out so I can get it back. Not heard anything yet and man do I miss the car! Would've been quicker and cheaper for me to replace the axle!! Not necessarily easier though as its all the messing with the...
I started with a 5mm hss and it didn't even begin to cut in and then snapped in half!!
I must add I'm doing this lay on the floor.
Would welding a bolt or similar on it work? Along with lots of wd40 and heat work? There appears to be some red stuff on the thread so I'm guessing that's some...
Hi all
If I need to replace my rear axle, can it be swapped for another one without having to beeld the brakes etc?
The rear discs each look bolted to the axle on square backing plates, can these be just unbolted as a whole and fitted on the new beam?
Does everything else just unclip?
Thanks
Whilst undoing my rear shocks the drivers bolt snapped off almost flat with the axle. I have attempted to drill it out, even with a hss drill bit this was useless.
I now have a car that is off the road, and need to get it back working.
Can anyone help me with ideas please, preferably without...
When I had my 182 I had the centre silencer removed and a pipe welded in. This was due to the centre silencer rusting but it added a really nice noise. Not too loud but nice.
Mine has been replaced for a 'clicky' screen, and my wife's has been replaced for a faulty charging port. We haven't had the memory issue though. Other than that we love them!
