Thanks for that, i've just found yozza sport site and they have some strut top washers at £10 if thats the ones?
How much do you think it is to get these fitted?
My car is getting some new tyres tomorrow on the front so I'll ask in there about it.
Thanks again.
Sorry mate, i'm completely clueless when it comes to this sort of thing, are saying i need to replace my rubber top mount (whatever that is?) with v6 washers (again whatever they are?)??
thanks
I have a 4 year old 182 with the cup pack, its done 25k and i think i'm suffering from the same creak.
I'm getting my tyres swapped at the front soon so i'll be asking the garage about it. Just need to decide if i stick with the same tyres that it came with or try some new ones?
After 2.5 days at the dealers my car is back and apparently fixed for the 5th time.
They reckon if you park on a kerb ie not level then the drain holes in the door are likely to overspill over the seal into the footwell, once a certain amount of water has built up!?
So they have resealed...
I live in Warrington and the local dealer across town pick it up and drop it off from my house.
Haven't been bothered going to Manchester or Liverpool yet, although this is the last chance for my local one!
Well the leak is back again!
Nipped into my dealer and showed it to the RTE and it's going back in for the 5th time next week.
Not hopefull really but I'll keep you posted.
It's still weaking... this time icould see water running in from under the speaker....
So it's going back in for the 4th time and they are going to give it it's first service and oil change for £69 as a goodwill guesture!
Do those of you with full NCB, pay extra to get it protected?
I think i can have 2 claims in a certain time frame... but surely they have you as if you decide to change company, won't you still have to declare that you've had a claim to the new company?
182 + cup packs
27 yrs old
about 10yrs NCB (isn'tthe max 5 or 7?)
Parked on the street
Full comp plus protected NCB
Tesco.... 1st yr 750, 2nd year... 640
Protecting your NCB adds 100+, not sure if its worth it, catch 22!
Is it just me or isn't it a pain if you use automatic lights, when need to quickly flash somebody and a quick flick of the light stalk puts the full beam on!
So you have to quickly flick it on then off, unless you have turned the headlights on manually then flicking the lights does a normal...
Well they have now fixed the second leak.
Apparently it was different to the first one, this one was from inside the passenger door, some sort of panel or trim had warpped and they have replaced it.
It's now all dried out and seems to be staying that way.
I did ask for some money off my first...
Just discovered that the leak is still there which is nice after they had it for 3 days and told me it had been fully tested and fixed!
So it's going back in next week..... I wonder if when they finally fix it if they will knock some money off my 1st service as it's due soon?
No harm in asking!
Could be, one thing though is that i have no idea how long i have had this leak it could have been there from day one for all i know, at least it is sorted now though.
I did also have a 'alarm beeping sometimes when set fault' and they said they have also replaced some sensor in the bonnet, not sure if this is one in the same?
Just got a call back from the dealer....
The cause of the leak was a fault gromet on the dash and bulk head whereever that is?
It's just getting dried out then it's back tommorrow.
Thanks for the responce, it sounds like there are a few of you with this problem.
My 182 is in with the local dealer right now, ask when i last hoovered it i discovered there was a wet patch under the passengers foot mat.
The carpet was really soaked and i had just done a few long trips in the wet but the leak must becoming from below as the mat on top is dry.
The dealer...
I have only done just under 10K and its just over 1 year old, it is going into the delear for a couple of faults....
1. I have just noticed the carpet under the passengers foot mat is wet and I must have a leak from underneath somewhere?
2. Speed/cruise control switch keeps flicking off...
