Quicky lads, I am changing both cables tomorrow - car is currently on axle stands after i took out the one that had snapped. I have an idea of what's involved however when I took the knackered one off it wouldn't slide through the hole as the the nipple end (oh er) was obviously too big. I...

Evening all. Here goes. I am getting a like metallic like screech sound on full lock and for the first time today I heard the same type of noise when I started the the car up then it went virtually straight away. It's a piercing noise that sounds bloody awful, I did notice the other month -...

Car is due the dreaded 72k service shortly and been quoted £865 from a specialist and to be honest that's not what I wanted to hear! I am thinking about it, love the 182 to bits but not sure about paying that, I expected £600 or £700 MAX! It does include all belts/dephaser/water pump (leaking...

What a shi**er of a day (n) had nothing but car trouble today, here is the latest balls up. I took the fuel rail guard to gain better access to the oil filter in order to change the oil. I was super careful or so I thought and I only realised something was amiss when I went to start the car...

Anyone know what this could be from? I noticed some puddles on the tarmac but not sure the cause of them. I've also noticed the coolant dropping rapidly. I can't see any leaks pouring out from the engine bay although the exhaust leak is a lot.

Air bag light is on, does sometimes go off but more often than not comes on, got MOT in a few weeks so need to sort it out. I also have the SERV light on but that I think is down to the rain sensor being unattached - new windscreen fitted but wrong type! I turned off the SERV light but it does...

Evening all. I've been quoted £360 to get it sorted by a bodyshop near me , take 3 days apparently! and £120 by a mobile who have a decent rep, is that about right? It is not me who will be paying, person who went into the car - his fault wants to settle away from insurance but I doubt he...
