Another milestone reached.

[DaveDreads]

Still going strong, but I have heard that things start to go wrong around this time, so what can I expect?
Apart from the washer jets not working, thats allready happened.
CamBelt was done a year and a half ago.

 

[Ian_182]

Washer bottle not cracked yet???

 

[DaveDreads]

Washer bottle not cracked yet???

No, thats still got water in it, it just wont spray.

 

[jablitt]

my washer bottle has cracked and mines not even done 40k yet!! £60 for a new one from renault!

 

[Fletcher]

Thats nothing, mines on 114k now.

70-80K was very expensive... off the top of my head new alternator, two new driveshafts, washer pumps.

 

[Jordi17]

I am on just over 82k now, going well still

 

[v15ben]

My 182 is on 69k now and it has had plenty of costly bits over the past few weeks so I bloody hope 70-80k isn't the really costly period

[v15ben]

Well for me it was

Haha well I've barely had time to drive it recently so hopefully it won't drop over to 70k for a while

 

[mini-valver]

It's all rumours. If you replace things when they start wearing, you'll never have a problem!

 

[iimushroomzii]

Mines on 70k soon had less than 60k when I bought it less than year ago

 

[Gaz_]

It's all rumours. If you replace things when they start wearing, you'll never have a problem!

You should see how much i gave kev last weekend for my new purchase!!! Replacing looooads!

 

[WILLIE]

Bought my 182 with 48,000 on the clock in Jan. Have just hit 71,000 miles and I've only had it 9 months. The more miles it does the better the engine feels!

 

[Leeshez]

Mine is nearning 40K.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

mines 63218 now bought it on 33568 or sumat like that and ive owned it since feb 2008

 

[Ian]

Mine's on 94,000. Over the past year I've spent in excess of £1200 on cambelt service, new front springs, anti-roll bar, engine mounts, ball joints, two wheel bearings and other things I can't remember. Oh and an engine (yet to be fixed, another £400 by the sound of it). Car only cost me £1300 lol.

 

[stuart1989]

49400 on mine... I wish it had less

 

[brownin]

i just touched 64k the most expensive for me was 63k, gearbox and shafts £1400

 

[DMS]

Mine's on just under 70K and also needed 2 new drive shafts.
My washer jets are fine though.

 

[marinemackay2003]

[fil_b]

[StephenJ]

[Fletcher]

meah mines is on 97k

cant wait to be up with the 100k elites

hi fletcher, russ 16v

Hai

 

[DaveDreads]

Looks like i've been quite lucky with mine then, but then I have spent
a fair bit on modds and servicing over the last 2 & a half years since ive had it.

4 new PE2s
New windsreen (£60 excess thank god!)
Replaced all the fluids,
Cambelt service,
Goodridge lines,
Piper (GDI) Stealth SS Cat back system,
ITG Panel filter,
New pads all ronund, (twice)
New rear discs,
Matched inlets with PTFE gaskets
Rear strut brace, (because of no back seats)
Proline spings,
RS Tuner Box,
New rear boot mecanism,
Oil change every 8-10 months,
New stereo with ipod connector & stalk controls,

and thats just what I can remember!
so I think i've avoided alot of problems before they happened.

But all this was done before I lost my job:dapprove:

 

[mark_sport172]

i just touched 64k the most expensive for me was 63k, gearbox and shafts £1400

Mine has just touched 93,000, and last week had new recon gearbox, clutch, flywheel, and shafts done for £955 at Leeds Transmission, which was recommeded on here.

Will be more costly after new year as i'm gonna have engine stripped down and rebuilt, new belt and dephaser replaced....Then its the tidy up period after that.
Will be worth the money though

 

[v15ben]

After my confidence in the 70k miles disaster being a myth, the exhaust has dropped apart

 

[st3ve]

Mines on around 63k and I've had to replace the gearbox mount, cv boot and front discs and pads in 9 months ownership and it quite often sees 6k rpm, still purrs like a kitten.
