I did search, couldnt find anything! Does it exist?

I was in Llangollen this weekend too on a valentines day trip, and Lee, i think i spotted you down the highstreet, number plate ending in CUP? I was in the filthy AB 182.....

And yes, i have searched ;) Im looking to put together a 'kit' to start to look after my car a little better.. All ive had in the past is Autoglym stuff (super resin and gloss) and the odd bit of tyre shine, bumper dressing etc.. Now, im a total newb when it comes to 'prep' i hear people...

Its the heat im worried about, will it kill it?

Hi all, I bought a cat of ebay as mine was de-cat'd before i bought it and it turns out its cracked all around the flange :( Obviously, ive contacted the seller, and i hope we can come to an amicable agreement regarding a return/refund etc but in the meantime the MOT is looming so im...

From halfords? Might have to bang this pad back in for now and order some then :-( don't suppose you've got a part number?

I think ill take a punt on them, I just can't put my old pads back and wait for some new ones... I've got a trade card so they'll be cheap enough to throw away worst case :P

Hi all, I need to change the pads on the rear of the 182 as they're down to nowt, they're the only place local to me thats open, are they any good?

Hi all, Im convinced the dogbone is on its way out on mine, under (hard) acceleration it sounds like the manifold is chattering against the subframe or bulkhead and when you come off the throttle theres a right crack from underneath, but i'm having no difficulty in getting the gears? I...

Suppose i should rephrase.. Mainly daily driver duties, so comfy, odd trackday so supportive. Not full on bucket with high sides etc.. ;) Recline not important, budget is cheap :P more looking for something that doesnt look out of place tbh..

hi all, Im looking for inspiration as to what to run as a drivers seat in the 182. Not bothered if it needs modifying to fit mount wise, would happily consider something from another car even, Evo etc, anyone got any ideas as to what looks semi-OE whilst being comfy and supportive?
