I was just interested in opinions on it. I know its not the best Sat Nav around, but being only 40 odd built with it I was wondering if it was desirable or not. I'm not in the market for a Ph2 so won't be buying it.

There's a Black '04 182 for sale about 5 mins from my house, with "Built in Sat Nav" < Wording on advert in window. Its done 112k, looks pretty clean and is up for £1750ono Sat Nav ones are pretty rare from what I've read. Worth the money? What would the "Sat Nav" add to the value if anything?

Probably the same one I saw at RAF Honington today. Love the Matt Grey, looks aggressive

I'm a member of Rad and been on in the passed, but not checked it out for sometime now. The 27k eBay one keeps smiling at me!

Nice :) I bought a New Skool BMX last year (Amity Zenta II) to re-live my youth, but my back isn't like it used to be haha. I've got a '98 Compe at the moment awaiting some wheels, its the one in the picture of my garage, right at the back hanging from the roof :)

I'm with you on the Rust :) My 100e had been filled with paper and fibre glass...then under seal!! That was in 2005 when prices were still sub 1k so not a massive loss, The only thing I have left from it is the Number plate.

Where's the best place to get the tools? 105e......does your username indicate you are/were an Anglia Fan/Owner? I had a Super and a '58 100e :)

Oh to "fill" plug was the same as this!

Yeah its the outlay for the tools that is the deciding factor. I'm pretty confident I can do most jobs on a car, a lot if the time its if I can be bothered getting dirty and having a million cuts and bruises on my arms :) What was that about the Gearbox? :) (Apparently this is normal, they have...

This was about 3/4's of the way there. Just the driveshafts and Starter left before I could remove the 6 Gearbox bolts and lift it out (loads of access once you get there haha)

I've built a few Early 80's ones, mostly Raleigh Burners, but have done some other stuff, And then some slightly newer stuff but generally nothing later than 2000 ish (Apart from my Sons, they both have custom mid 00's Mongoose). Fixie's seem to be the in thing for the last yr or so...not done a...

Well I made a start today, my Garage was pretty much rammed with bikes, tools and stuff! I worked on the theory that if my Passat Estate fits in the garage a Clio would fit as well as my Work Bike with room to spare :) Winner

Yes, I agree 100% with what you're saying. I've changed loads of Cambelts, mainly VAG stuff as thats generally what my daily drives are, and all my "Second" cars or Track cars have been pre 90's stuff which are all pretty straight forward. When the Clutch went on the Wife's Mini, I rang our...

Hmmm.... So it may be worth paying to get it done rather than me doing it myself. Nottingham isn't to far from me :)

Yeah thats my question really.... How much will all the tool's cost....compared to having the belts down by a specialist, say I keep the car for 2 belt changes over how ever many years....take into account time doing it as well. Whats the cost of a specialist dong it? £500?
