ive never had any issues getting into first on them, i would get someone to check out the linkage to make sure nothings worn, as was mentioned above check the box oil level or give it a change.

I don't know the definite answer, BUT what I would try if I was you, is buy a Dynamique S wing mirror, any side, and the switch with the folding function at 6 o'clock, swap the mirror and switch over and see if it works, I would be FAIRLY sure the loom will be the same, it MAY need coded in with...

is it a TCE 100 engine? sounds fairly normal in that video but videos don't pickup sounds that well, so there could be a boost leak if thats what that faint whistle is (which may sound louder in reality) any sign of any oil leaking down the intercooler? take a picture of the intercooler (behind...

Should be fine, what usually happens is they come off with the disc, people fit the new discs without it and it destroys the rear wheel bearing! I had a Renault dealer miss them in my ex birds 1.6 16v MK2 and the rear bearing failed and destroyed the stub axle and wheel bolts in the process 😂

Every time I drove one at work the first few minutes was spent thinking "why do people buy these things?" and then 10 mins later I'm on eBay looking for a defender.

depending on the style of driving its had a clutch at 86k/13yrs isn't unreasonable. Stick a video up and we will be able to help further.

Mint! Is that the engine from a DAF 45/lf truck? Lol

I've got the Ryobi one as that's the ecosystem I'm on! - Does the job!

They don't list a mount for the 2.0 16v in their catalogue but its the same mount as the non RS - the 1.2 uses a slightly different design but the rest use the same as the 2.0 16v, the same twisted design as you posted above.

There's always interest on here!

as above for the fuses and checking the relays - id pop a crank sensor on it for all they cost just to rule it out given how common they are too!

my faulty rear ABS sensor causes it to come in under 5mph when slowing on the brakes to a junction etc - doesn't bring on the ABS light but when you check the live data you see the reading dropping out under 5mph - so the car just thinks its locking up rather than a fault.

that's the correct part for a 172/182 - so assuming its genuine then that's a Febi!

As above, battery probably been flat or is going flat. Common on these, mine was in its third battery when it was sold on at 18mnths old

haha f**k yeaah!!!! Finds a good painter.... paints everything :ROFLMAO:

I forgot how awesome they were on fuel, I bought one tonight to sell on and took it a half an hour drive and averaged this...

Engines are bomb proof I wouldn't pay over the odds for a low miles one. And I would definitely try and get a higher miles facelift 17 palte on from memory as it's a better car. My Mrs previous one done 160k in 3 years from new, remapped from day 1, rear ended twice, ran into the back of a bus...

As above not worth worrying about. I've seen it a few times but MOST of them don't suffer from it so its an easy thing to fix if you choose.

Gear knob had always let it down! Was at the scrappys today and seen a Laguna coupe, ideal as I knew what I wanted from it 😂

got a video of the noise when setting off? as above check the gearbox oil level and have the clutch checked.

@SSN11 used Lemforder track rod ends at my recommendation and I'm sure one failed within about 6 months, came from Euro.

Cheap for a 182 these days so I'd say your money is safe and if your handy enough all east stuff to fix, improve and add to the value. My priority would be the fuel cap and have that taken care of before it gets worse. Also get the rear door cards off and see how it is behind them and address...

334/320 based on zero experience and zero knowledge haha

That's exactly what I was doing! I was trying to remember haha

I seen those spanners when you first posted them and thought, "cant think of a time I've needed them" then about 3 days later was stuck without a set!

its grey when cleaned and looks better in the flesh than it photos, i quite like it! my interior needs a good scrub and a few bits here and there changed, but ill get to that haha

Yeah any motor factors will cross refer to red stuff, but lovely lime green Type D is where its at! haha

This

To be honest it's actually quite nice! Feels much the same as a normal 172 in terms of driving comfort, it's probably a bit less supportive given your more likely to slide about when driven in anger but I've not really driven this hard as I've got my 182 van for that!

WOW! Excellent job, Post up a dedicated thread with more info!!! would love to see it
