Opinions please...182 repair/service

[Dave H]

My 182 Cup is on 20500k and is just over three years old (l only do about 5-6k a year). It has a small oil leak from the rocker cover and to sort this means its going to cost (waiting for a quote from Birchdown).

Should l get the aux and timing belts done as well as a 24k service when this gets repaired...and what costs do you think i'll be paying?

 

[edde]

A lot.

best wait for Birchdale quote they'll give you a good idea and opinions on what to do.

by the way 20500k is 20500000 miles

:lolup:

i think main stealer will be a fortune.

aux belt with service is generally 300£

lol 20.5k then !

Its not going to the stealers...way too expensive...even if they are local !

The leak may have contaminated the belts if you are very unlucky!

The leak is very slight.Looks like its coming from one of the bolts on the top of the cam cover...but its hard to tell as l guess it could get blown up there when the cars moving.

Yes..quote would be for this repair,both belts (as the rocker cover will be off) and 24k service

I may try and nip the bolts up but it looks impossible to get a spanner to them.

aye his prices seem good, so good luck

Find a few quotes and compare

tbh, if its very slight Id be tempted to just keep checking it. Will quite some cost. Im reckoning no less than £700 inc the vat.

Is strangely quite common. Adam on here had the same with his 182.
