182, four days old, questions

[Big G]

All,

Still loving the 182, but ive got a few questions that I wonder if any other 182 owners could answer:

1) A minor glovebox-area rattle is present, apart from just living with it, has anyone had the same and know if its a specific bit/part that I can get?

2) After the engine is turned off, I get loud clunking noises as if the exhaust manifold is cooling down - not concerned at all, just curious if this is common?

3) My engine whistles and sounds exactly like a turbo spooling up (a 182 turbo from the factory?! ) when i press the accelerator in neutral, not sure if this is a characteristic of the 182 engine? I can only hear it with the window down and im not aware of it under normal driving or ragging it, mostly when idle.

Cheers

G

Hehe, i got bored of my last car within a few days, but it didnt go ape sh*t with performance at 5k rpm, so what do you expect eh

Yep, mine also does all those things.

Would be curious to know what is causing the glovebox area rattle though.
