    Insurance 2021

    Anyone apart from Dial Direct in my experience - horrid company - I went with them as they were cheapest on a price comparison! I can only imagine how bad they would be if you had a crash!

    How fun is a 182 as a daily?

    The worst ever daily driver I've ever owned. I recon an Elise would be nicer to live with, when it has the cup chassis anyway. Most fun car I've owned though!

    How fun is a 182 as a daily?

    Squeaking fan belt

    You can swap the pulley its a clutch pulley on them and when they fail it causes a squeaking sound. i done one on mine a few years ago and it cured it, needed a special alternator clutch pulley tool to do it though.
