My 182 Wreckstoration

[jmg_97]

Hi there!

Just bought a 182 for £650 with 106k, MOT until June. It's just going to be a home
project as insurance is complete joke at my age. (£6000 a year)

So the plan is too slowly build the car up to new condition and when I can afford to insure it, I will.

It needs a few things doing to it right off the bat:

• New Cam Belt (Due)
• New Dephaser Pulley (Sounds like a diesel when warm atm)
• Dipped beam is not working and not coming up on Dash.
• Sort out an oil leak(s) (Can smell burning oil from exhaust and there a tiny bit of oil dripping off the front under tray)
•Turning wheel sometimes there is a clunk/knock noise

Apart from that she seems OK.

£650! Bargain!

Good luck with it. Looks a decent example by all accounts

Headlight refurb, alloy wheels refurbed, new exhaust mounts and that will be perfect. Cosmetically anyway!

Btw how old are you? 6k is mighty steep for insurance!
Have you tried Greenlight. If you meet their requirements, they are very competitive

Out of curiosity if it's £6000 a year now to insure it, how long is it going to be before you can actually use it?

 

[jmg_97]

Cleaned the bay up a bit.
Cleaned the boot including all the hinges, edges, etc.
Cleaned around door hinges, edges, etc.

It's looking like a tidy example but a few things under the bonnet need refreshing as mentioned above.

Would anybody beable to advise me on what is the most urgent things that need changing out of:

Auxilliary Belt
Dephaser Pulley
Water Pump

Well i'm 19 in september so as long as I build up my no claims i'm thinking by the time i'm 21-22. I also have a question and i'm sorry if it's a silly one. Because I won't be using this car for about 3-4 years, what the best method to keep it in good running condition over the few years it won't be used?

 

[jmg_97]

Thank you for a all the nice comments, very appreciated :smile:

I'm 19 in september and I have one claim I made when I had my 125. And thanks mate i'll take a look!

Directline can also surprise. They were good for me anyway.
Looks an absolute bargain that, well done. You can complain at the price you paid. Add £1000 for belts, refurb alloys and bits and pieces and you have an utter steal!!

Thanks man! I got it off a collegues dad, he neglected it a bit but at this price yeah its bloody brillaint :up: Just gotta go through the slow process of saving £600 for the cambelt change and about £160 for the Dephaser pulley then it should be all steady from there

Had my 182 at 19 for 1600 a year 3rd party fire and theft, car looks decent for the price.

Wow!! Who did you go with? And did you have any no claims?

 

[ParisPeach]

Managed to get a quote of £3700 so thats almost half! But I didn't mention my claim I made as I was curious how much it would drop it by.. And also put dad on as a named driver and put that I had 1 year no claims (I will if i don't crash until november) also its third party f&f

 

[PP200t]

You should be able to get belts and dephaser done for <£600 I would think depending on where you are.

When I turned 20 it cost me just over £1000 to insure my 172 for a full year. Had 1 year NCB and no previous claims.

Cambelt, aux, dephaser + specialist labour should cost you about £550 all in mate.
Good luck with it
