Found some screenshots off the advert, stock and unloved with puddle in passenger footwell ? looking back it needed loads of work but cost nowt to sort. The best offer the fella had for it was £25 for scrap
Williams 15x7 had them in stock for my gtt so boshed them on ?
Was up for £100 on gumtree non runner, no tax and test stock dci. Stuck a cheeky £80 offer in for it ! Needed an alternator and a real good clean, replaced the bonnet for used and stuck wheels/springs etc on, done the belts and...
Always thought RB was a great colour for the 182. Only seems like 5 mins ago you could pick up a mint low mileage example compared to some of them i have seen up for sale recently. Good nick low mileage one will be worth strong money in the future

Chasing the misfire
So not had much joy curing this minor misfire. No codes stored on ecu and live data checks out ok.
List of things done
Coilpack, leads and plugs changed still the same
Cam timing bang on - done it before with cam timing slightly out
Lambdas swapped - both seem to check...
Notmal, lever the track control arm down with a bar. Might be worth slackening wishbone to subframe bolts, get wheels on and drop on the floor/retorque the bolts.
