thanks mate i'll have a look :)

didn't think it would be. i'll see if i can find a guide or something. Ok cheers, good price!

ok thanks. is the tensioner easy to get to? and i'm not sure off the top of my head, i've got all the history at home, just at work at the minute - i'll bear that in mind though if its due a change.

yeah it didn't look right to me. so losen the tensior, bolt it in properly and change the belt and i'm good to go? Would that be causing the pulley on the alternator to stick and cause a squeak? Rather than a potentially nakered pas pump?

hi all, recently picked up my 182, with a suspected broken pas pump, as it squeals loads when turning, not just on full lock. I inspected it this weekend, and it looks like the alternator isn't bolted in properly (i've attached a pic). the pulley on the alternator also sticks and stops...

oh, i'm not too sure on the exact code - i didn't even look. i'm guessing that would tell you exactly what part to change?

it just said o2 sensor

ok so it would be the front one i need? thats the one i changed over which should have stopped the dodgey idle/stalling etc

yeh, one before and one after the cat. i think it's the rear one that isn't important but im not sure. someone else may be able to point me in the right direction.

ok thanks mate. if im honest i'm not really sure, as i bought the car with the exhaust fitted, but a decat is definitely on my list to do at some point anyway. can you get a generic map with the lambda mapped out? if so, do you know how much that would cost?

lamdba was new, so i shouldn't think it would be that. i think the cars decatted, would that have something to do with it?

So i got the lambda done on saturday and the fault cleared, but the car still idles a bit funny. the fault showed up as o2 sensor, any other ideas? also, i went to do the power steering pump, but when i did some more digging, it looks like the alternator isn't bolted in properly - i've put a...

Just picked up my first 182, in my favourite colour - black gold. I've previously owned a couple of clios, both 1.2s. The first one wasn't great, and the second one was a 182 replica, but due to a long commute to work i ended up selling and buying a MK1 Fabia VRS. I've always wanted a 182 and...

Thanks all, i'm going to leave it alone. sounds like more hassle than what it's worth for what i'm planning to use it for.

thanks, i'll ask him about all the above and see what he says.
