Currently making my way to Stornoway, and this is sitting on the car deck. Was for sale near me last week, so assuming it’s sold. Nice car, 65k on clock.

Anyone changed the clutch on a A/C Compressor on any VAG car? The family hack that is our 2016 Touran 2.0TDI is chuff chuffing away when cold. Quietens down a bit when warmed but still a bit of noise. I chucked a new aux belt and tensioner on it in the hope that would cure it but no. Turned the...

The Tain area is my stomping ground - roads are quiet at the moment. However the Clio isn’t so quiet, since its exhaust decided to crack just after the cat. 2 weeks it lasted before it needed more work!

I’m going to be looking for a n/s driveshaft for my 182 in the very near future - I can hear the dreaded click click at lock under load (normally at low speed). I believe for a cup pack car the n/s driveshaft has part number 8200372167 - does anyone know where one could purchase this at a...

Thanks for the comments. So far I’ve reversed into the wheelbarrow in it (zero damage thankfully , wheelbarrow worse for wear) and have been pulled over by the police (their system showed it as not MOT’d when it was, phew!) Being back in a Clio my first impression is, there’s so much glass...

Thought I’d share a couple of photos of my 182 that I’ve owned for 5 years, but only driven a handful of times. I bought it from a friend of a friend in 2015 with the ABS lights on, but only got it sorted last year (SAS needed calibrating). Since then it’s had a new dephaser/timing belt, all...

I had that code - my problem was ESP+SERV lights coming on with turning the wheel at a certain speed. My steering angle sensor was reading -81000 deg. Bought a clone clip and an old laptop. Managed to reset a replacement steering angle sensor, and its all sorted now. Note that iCarsoft RTII...

First of all I’ll say that I’m definitely no expert and it may be pot luck, but I think I’ve rectified this issue. I had a SAS which read -81000deg, and have gone to the lengths of buying a clone clip, and old laptop. Using VP003 recalibration wouldn’t reset the SAS, however I had another SAS...

Cheers, I'm near Tain. Thanks, I think the main problem is that the previous owner (a friend of a friend) worked offshore and for long periods the car simply wasn't used. It's super original and not messed about with, which is why I bought it, why I'm persisting with it. The issue is the...

Is there anyone in the Inverness area who has Clip and be willing to use it on my 182 to reset the SAS? I bought the iCarsoft RT II expecting it to be able to do this but apparently my car isn’t supported, and the software support is atrocious (multiple emails blindly ignored). I can read that...

Hi all, long time lurker but now paid up member from north of Inverness. I’ve got a very original BG FF 182, but it’s been a pig of a car with electrical faults since I bought it 4 years ago. It was fun the one time I drove it, so very keen to sort it!
