Knew I shouldn't have sold him my 182.... Ha. I jest, he was doing 80 down the motorway and BOOM, pheasant. Saw chunks of car flying off in his mirror.
I know the splitter is £100ish (he doesn't want to do the Skoda trick, want's to keep it standard) - how much is the arch plastic etc? It...
I've gotten a job in London and need to live in Zone 2, bit short of cash and got the student overdraft baggage as well, so have just handed over the reigns for £3500.
Had it running the best it's ever been running too, brand new genuine back box, new center section, fixed the washers, only 1k...
I'm an idiot, I had my car key in a zipped pocket in my leather jacket (didn't meant to take it out) on a night out a few weeks ago and somehow lost it. I haven't driven my car in 3.5 weeks as Uni is really hectic and my spare is at my parents.
Any idea where the cheapest place for a...
It's like, 50/50..... I really like it but at the same time don't?
Like the colour, 1 of 29 and nicely modded.
but
Not sure if I like the colour. Ha.

The car has had this problem since I bought it and I've never got round to trying to fix it as, well, the passenger side works fine. But I probably should....
Basically, you pull the handle on the back of the seat to pull the seat forwards (to get into the back seats) and nothing happens...

Would be lovely to buy and just keep as part of a collection.... sure to be a classic at SOME point.
Not a bad price really either. But I guess it's highly unlikely it's had the belts done.
Is this much water in the boxes normal? The engine had been idling to warm up after an oil change and was still steaming out the exhaust, so blipped the throttle and it started spraying water everywhere.

Rubbish photo because I wasn't exactly gonna stroll up the driveway. Looked lovely. First time I've seen one in the flesh believe it or not. Now I want one.
It's not overhanging the edge but is flush.
Everything else is centred:
Nothing to worry about? It just stood out like a sore thumb, made me wonder. The corrosion suggests it's been like that a while so maybe it's just the little nuances of each engine. Also was changed by rentech last...
Noticed the 182 has developed a nasty clunk/knocking noise.
Its intermittent though. To reproduce:
- 1st gear
- rev up to about 3500rpm
- take foot off throttle
As it jumps forward due to the cut in power there is a nice clunk noise from the front of the car.
Doesn't happen all the time...
Are these good / crap?

Car has full service history with 91k miles. No gearbox oil change ever recorded.
Ordered some to arrive during the week but was bored so thought I'd do a dry run taking the airbox out etc. Just to kill some time.
Any idea where this lot has come from? It was mostly stained but looked wet in...
My 182 has a really complete service history from the first owner.. the second had the 72k service done at a local garage and I didn't notice they hadn't done the aux belt... I didn't know much about 182's when I was looking.
Looked at the invoice...Local garage... just the timing belt kit...
Knocked a can of beer over onto my Macbook Pro, f**king nightmare.
I turned it straight off and took the battery out, dried it off and put it upside down like a tent, covered, with a hairdryer blowing hot air into and across the keyboard, turning it into a little oven.
Just turned it back...
Part arrived this morning, gonna do it this afternoon. I imagine its amazingly simple but if there's any little nuances or stuff that people know about, let me know!
Had an eventful drive last night.
I set off (cold engine) and as I pulled out onto the road the car was struggling to get above 2.5k.. a little shuddery. Had my foot flat to the floor and nothing, the revs falling off slightly even. Then suddenly off we went at full throttle but then as I...
Currently stood in the driveway with everything disconnected and having no luck. Ive undone the top two bolts and the five along the bottom. In between the 2nd and 3rd inlet there is a small nipple like thing that is stopping it coming off.... Never heard the mentioned in any guides. I'm pulling...
I'm trying to get the fuel rail cover off, I've got the middle one to undo fine, the 10mm deep socket fits ok fine, but the left nut won't behave, I can't get the socket to go onto it no matter what.
I did a YouTube video just cause it's easier than explaining, the first it the okay one...
I got in the car and drove out of the industrial estate our office are in... as i got out of the compound and tried to accelerate gently in 2nd I couldn't get about about 3200rpm. It was pretty much exactly like when you are in the wrong gear going up a hill and there's just not power. The...
I've got a 15% off voucher from eurocarparts for this weekend so was gonna order all the stuff for my 84k service.
You stick the reg in and it comes up with the parts that fit your car... but just to double check I'm not being a moron:

Bought my 182 last week and just paid for membership :approve:
My girlfriends using the car for the weekend whilst I'm at my parents and I just got a call saying that the orange light is on. Are these usually emissions/sensor related issues?
I've driven 1000 miles and had zero issues, and...
I've just bought a 182 and, basically, can't find much info about the alarm. I know its a Cat 1 approved, and noticed the little motion cubes by each A pillar. And, by setting it off by opening the door as I blipped the key, it's the loudest alarm I've ever heard. But apart from that, not much...
