Hi All

[olisc97]

Just bought a 182 after scouting for ages. I had a 205 before and my 1.6 clio wasn't doing it for me, hopefully this should do the trick.

Welcome mate. Any plans?

 

[olisc97]

Needs the cambelt doing, but other than that it's a blank canvas, even the exhaust is factory, which surprised me.

Welcome. Car looks nice and standard ones are a rare now! You keeping that way?

 

[hsustyle]

Welcome along, enjoy the car and the friendly community on here!

Apparently a librarian ?

Woah that mileage, leave that thing standard!

We'll see how long the exhaust lasts but that's all I plan doing, so far

I hope you got a bit off the price for the belts not being done? I had a quick chat with the guy selling it and *almost* went up to have a look. But i thought that with my luck, the belts would go on my drive home! Nice buy though. Its a lovely little car, that one.

How much was it up for?

It was up for £4750 i think, belts last done in 2010.

 

[Coops Mk1]

How much?!! ?

 

[monkfishh]

How much?!! ?

You would have thought that thats not the price paid with the belts and dephaser due.

One would suspect not, however it's nice to see them commanding decent cash in all honesty. Although with 6x the mileage on it mine may be slightly less valuable.... Lol

... because people are daft and would rather buy something with aged, sagging original bits, instead of buying something that's had everything replaced and is fresh as a daisy underneath / in the engine bay lol

I was thinking the same about my 172 - I would be lucky to get 2k!

 

[Coops Mk1]

Yeah mines not exactly a replaced everything nut and bolt resto, lol, just a well maintained high miler. But tbh value of it doesn't really concern me anymore, I paid little for it in the grand scale of things many years ago so had more than my money's and enjoyments worth out of it!

But every time I think about replacing it, I feel like I'm cheating on it, lol

That is exactly how I feel, then I get cold feet every time and convince myself that I dont need a different car!

Apologies for the ninja! Yes, got money off for the belts, will get them done soon.

Unfortunately for insurance based reasons, I needed as close to stock one as possible, this isn't hiding in a garage though, I fully intend to drive it.

Lovely 182 pal. That and liquid yellow are the best colours IMO.

I picked one up yesterday as well. Have you taken yours on it’s maiden voyage yet?

Gotta wait for my NCB to come through before I can insure it unfortunately

Lovely. Highly recommend Rentech for the belts. Where in hants are you? Will keep an eye out.
