I have got a rear ARB to fit to my 182. I was thinking of just getting it on some ramps, undoing the dampers, fitting the ARB and compressing the dampers back to line up, bolt in and do it all up nice and tight. Any issues with this way?

Need a CAT quickly for my MOT. Is the cheapo one on ECP/CP4L and good? It's made by React. Or I've heard people mention Klarius, any good? If not, what should I get? I think mine is OEM, so knackered. So this new one is probably to keep on it. I don't want to spend money on a sport CAT either...

My fan belt recently started to squeak, and I'd lost power steering, belt was slack, so ordered a new tensioner & belt. Started with the job and instantly noticed the alternator was loose, the pics speak for themselves, but I've lost both mount bolts for the alternator, and the supporting...

Wondering if a local user can help to read my 182's codes, I've got a trackday on the 29th and no way to get a reader by then! Want to make sure it's fit for use.

Mine has broken, so need to fit a new one. Looking about, they are from £80 to £200. So whats the best one to go for? Stick with OEM? What brand is that?

Comes out from the front on the bonnet near the passenger side. I was looking for my bonnet alarm switch, as my alarm keeps going off...

The centre nut in my gearbox mount (vibra) I've just fitted, just rotates. The torque guide says to do it to 62NM, so I put a wrench on it and it just turns. All other bolts done as the guide, so everything is tight. The middle one here (not my photo)

My alarm keeps randomly going off. All windows & doors shut. Last night it happened in heavy rain. Is there anything I can do to test? Only way to lock it for now seems to use the 'lock doors' switch inside and then lock my passenger door (only door with external lock). How/where do I start...

Just putting a powerflex insert into the engine mount and the bloody bolt/threads just come off! Where do I get an engine mount from?! Anyone local to Oxford got one?!

I'd like to get one fitted and have time this weekend. Anywhere that'll sell one, even someone second hand (not overly used) local to Oxford? Thanks

I've done a fair bit of reading on this, and everyone just points to poly bushes. But, at £100 for 2, it's a little steep! Once 1 side of mine keep popping out and then sits below the mount. Is there anything I can do to stop it? I was thinking of a 'bung' of some kind on the open side of the...

I changed the front brakes to Brembo HC & DS2500's, as well as done the hoses. Upon putting it all back together, I could barely turn either of them. So, I done it all again, pistons defiantly pushed back as much as possible etc.Same thing. With the wheel on I could spin them so thought it's...

I need to replace my pads, and where I live is a pebble drive (large pebbles) although most are embedded in the ground, there isn't much loose stuff. I've got a jack and axle stands. I was thinking a 3x3ft bit of ply wood, 18mm thick to spread the load. I'd get 3, 1 to jack and then can rest...

I was in the Z4M you followed down the A44. Lovely car! Pulled into a side road in Woodstock, didn't get to wave. Think you'd have gotten past me if I was in my 182!

I've got a weeping rear caliper (see photo), and I want to change the pads, maybe discs too, so figured I'd sort this as well. What are the thoughts on this caliper? Do I just get a new one and swap it out? My plan was to go yellowstuff, I know there is debate about them. What are the...

Since I got the car, the fog light indicator comes on, on the dash when I brake (not sure if the actual fog light comes on...). I know the brake lights are fine, friends have told me they work. But I imagine it's a bad earth, where do I need to check? The rear light cluster? Also, I went to...

Going past the Randolf hotel at 8:20pm tonight. Looked good! I was in my silver 182.

Copied from my thread on PH, so I've merged it all up to date. I'll keep both updated. I've been after a 2nd car to run along side my Z4M for months, years probably. I've viewed a few over the last few months and none of them stood out. This one came up at a reasonable distance, price, mileage...

After a very successful track day, I've come away requiring a few bits, figured 1 topic is fine. 1. Wipers. I've seen 21&18 sets and both 21 sets. Whats best? Also, a 'pool' of water seems to sit at the bottom (middle, between the blades), and it drives me nuts! Do different sizes help with...

After a hot discussion and viewing 4 or 5 over the last few months , I finally put a deposit down on a 182 FF in titanium silver, to collect in a week. I'm planning my first track day the following week, as a bit of a shakedown and see what might be a weak point. Car will become my 'daily' (I...

Going to see a car tonight, it's got the front splitter but not the rear brake light. So unsure if it's got the spoiler pack, that I'm less bothered by. Is there any easy way to check for the suspension pack? I've seen people measuring suspension compontants, nothing obvious? It's got black...

So, I've lined up a garage for my 'summer' car, want to get a 182 for winter duties and maybe some track days in spring/summer. I don't drive on my commute, so it's likely to be dark & cold when I do drive, so xenons etc are required. standard or FF, not a cup (I think I've decided!). Having a...

I drive past you most days, sure it's a members car, looks lowered with the smaller plate. Keeps reminding me how much I want to get one!

I'm looking for a car to be 'spare' to my M car, this will be a winter car for me and sometimes need to take the dog out. I've always had a soft spot for the 182's, and was thinking it might be a good car to pick. Set of winter boots should see me through winter, then I can look at a few track...
