I got a load of the Ice stuff for free (when my car was used in the Top Gear promotion when it was launched...!), was not that impressed with it. It does not "polish" the surface, just adds a superficial shine to it, which I guess is quite good as it means you can make the car look good...

WelchGuy - I have just sent you a "private message". I am selling my black-gold 182, which has both cups packs and factory fitted recaro seats in the next few months. If anyone else is interested, please send me a private message... jon

Cheers for the info I have to admit I am a little surprised that I have never seen an oil thread before too!

Quick one - what engine oil does a 182 need? I assume something like elf synthetic 5w40, or thereabouts. Need to put some in, but am away from home and have no manual/paperwork with me! Cheers

I dont need to rewire the thing, the plug is now sitting vacant on the right side of the steering column. Just trying to work out if the new controller will just click into place thanks

Hey, Car (55 plate 182, 19k miles) has developed a problem... the engine was warm and I was driving along motorway at 70mph (obviously) when the temp gauge fell to zero and the car started to splutter and not respond to the throttle. It recovered after about 15 seconds or so and the gauge...

garage's hard to come by where I live, they sell for about £50k...

Took my car into R-Sport in Wimbledon as the brakes were getting a little soft (weaker than my wife's 1.2 Micra), thinking the pads needed changing. Not so, the discs were badly corroded and need changing! I dont use it that much (around 6k miles per year) and he said that my leaving it...

indeed a great response, will check it out.

hey, just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, and if it was a warranty job? after about 30 mins of driving the ESP and "SERV" lights come on. they go off if I restart the engine, but come on again after about 30 mins. Last service was July 06 at 12,000 miles, have only done 5k...

oh, it's mine!

Look on page 100 of October's Top Gear magazine for more pics of my car...!
