Hi guys, Tonight unfortunately my FF BG 182 went pop..... Lots of smoke, noise and the oil is on the outside of the engine rather than the in..... Basically I was just wondering what is best to do with the car now. I'm not sure how much it would be worth to sell, how much it would be worth in...

Probably been answered a million times but can't find the answer I need. Seen some mintex rear disks, pads and bearings for around £70 on eBay. Will these be as good as a chocolate tea pot or will they suffice. Any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

I have noticed that my bonnet has began to develop 4 or 5 hairline cracks in the paintwork. Is this normal or has the bonnet been repaired at some point and it's due to paint or filler shrinkage? Sorry for the crappy quality photos but you can see that they are not usual scratches as the seem to...

Since owning my 182 it has had damage around the o/s/f wheel To me it looks like it has had some serious rubbage at some point. It's really not that obvious but it bugs me every time I wash my car. Has anyone else had similar damage to their car? The car is a 182 ff on turinis, (7j et...

Hi guys had a little search on the forum and couldn't find anything similar so I'm hoping I'm not wasting anyone's time! I'm running Bridgestone turanzas all round on my ff 182 at the moment (205/45/16/83w on turinis) At the front on booth sides, the outer and inner of the tyre is almost bald...

I have my mot and service due tomorrow and as if by magic my washer jets have decided to pack up :mad: Both fronts and rear have stopped working, the motor still sounds like it is trying to pump the water round but nothing comes out. I have had a little look round and all i have found is that...

Spotted once in Framlingham at about 5.40 and in Ipswich at copdock roundabout at 9.40 ish? guessing it was the same car, looked sweeeet :cool: anyone on here?

I'm looking for a relatively local specialist where i can take my 182 to. I would rather pay good money taking it to the right place where people know the cars well than spending more money in the long run. Any suggestions??

When i hit potholes, drain covers or even cats eyes it seems to throw the car completely out of balance and the back end seems to try and kick out. Even at 25mph i almost went sideways into another car. Surely this cant be right, its not just because the car has hard suspension (cup with...

When washing my car today i realized my O/S/F wheel has been rubbing on the bumper :S any ideas on what could be causing this? Its a 182 lowered 30mm i think? with turinis. Also i found a wire hanging next to where the horns are, any ideas what it is for or just a redundant plug?

Finally got round to giving my car a clean and taking a couple of photos. Really enjoying it at the moment, found a few little niggles but not letting it put me off. Some of you on here may recodnise the car as i think it has been owned by 2 cliosport members previous to me. Sorry for the crappy...

I have recently bought myself a ff 182 in BG off the forum. I have loads of little ideas for the car but want to get all the practical bits out of the way first. Firstly i had a look under the seats and found puddles :( I have heard this is a common problem and have put some powder down to try...

Just had a quote through for a FF182 with direct line, 5 years ncb (unprotected :() and a hefty excess of £550 and my dad on the policy too, £592.54 bargain in my opinion!
