182 querks

[chymz]

Hi all,

After taking delivery of my new 182 on march 1st, Ive notice a few things Id like to run past you all to see if theyre normal or if I should be concerned.

1> front tyres appear to rub (very slightly) on body under full steering lock?

2> when I turn the engine off and get out I some times hear a quiet ticking noise (about once every 10 seconds getting quieter and further appart)appearig to come from the underneath of the car under the rear seats -



Ive looked, at both the tyres and they dont look like theyre rubbing at all and got under the back of the car but cant see anything there either.

Any ideas or similar experiences??

Cheers



Aside from this it is without doubt the BEST car Ive ever owned.

It was still happening on my mk1 when it was 5 years old. Its a feature not a fault
