Yeh good point. I'll do that first just in case they're talking about something else!

Thanks for that. I'll speak to Birchdown later and get it booked in.

Thanks guys, it confused me as well! So if it is the steering rack control arm ball joint how much am I looking at to get it replaced?

Hi all, I had my MOT done yesterday on the 182 and received the following advisory: 'Nearside front drag link end ball joint has slight play' Does anybody know what this means? Also what parts would I need and how much am I looking at playing? Is it also worth doing both sides at the same...

Too late now Damo! I've gone for a BTB now. Cheers for your input though.

Looks like i'm picking the BTB exhaust up this afternoon! I'm easily persuaded...still completely your fault imprezaworks if I don't like it :rasp:

​Thanks for that - it does look and sound good but I think it'll be a bit too loud for me. Cracking price though and only down the road! It's tempting.

Was looking into the BTM - does anybody know how loud it is with the cat still in place?

Maybe because i've not found the answer to my specific questions/requirements! I've done a lot of searching on various forums and still had some questions. I was apologising as I know 'which exhaust?' questions get asked all the time but most seem to be around which is loudest or which is...

Hi all, First of all I know this has been asked a million times so apologies for that! The exhaust on my 182 is falling apart so I need to get a new one ordered. I want to go aftermarket as I think they look better but i'm not after a lot of noise. So after doing a bit of reading i've...

Ah right! I misunderstood your first reply. I thought you meant it was correct even though it was smaller! It says its for the 182 on the website so not sure what they've sent me! I'll send it back and get a genuine one.

cheers, I usually get genuine filters but ordered at the weekend so thought couldn't go wrong with a bosch one! As long its the correct one it'll do for a few months until the next oil change.

Hi guys, I ordered a new bosch oil filter from euro car parts which has just been delivered. It seems a lot smaller than the one that's on the car at the moment so just wanted to check that's its the correct one! Here's a pic: Cheers

Done it! Thought it was just a matter of prising it off but always best to make sure! Thanks for both your help.

Thanks for that. Is that from the top or the bottom?

Hi all, I've got a scratch on my wing mirror that I want to repair but need to get the cover off so I can do it properly. Does anybody know how to get the cover off without breaking anything? Cheers

There called 'shims'. Can't be much from a dealer.

I've asked him for a price on the brembo pads. I was gonna go with yellowstuff pads but don't see the point when I'm only using them on the road.

Right, seems like it was just the slider that was stuck. I've greased it up etc and it seems fine now. I'll speak to g172 about the discs and I need to decide which pads to get. Any recommendations?

Not yet, I ran out of time yesterday. I'm going to have a look in a bit.

Hi all, I've been hearing a whining noise the last few days which I thought was a wheel bearing so jacked the car up yesterday and spun the wheels. When I got to the drivers side front the wheel wouldn't spin freely! I took the wheel off and noticed that the back of the disc had a massive...

Thanks for that. I looked at the diagrams and found the connectors for the internal sensors. I have swapped them over so now they go red to white and white to red. I'll see how that goes!

I wish it was as simple as that!! Hopefully it'll sort it, it's not gone off again yet anyway! The only other thing I can do is remove the top of the dash and have a look at the alarm box. I can't seem to find a guide for the alarm fix though so I don't know which way round the wires should be!

Just had a look under the cup holder and it's not there. Seems to go behind the glovebox which can't be removed! I've pointed the sensors up towards the roof for now. I'll see if that helps.

I had a look at this but the manual only refers to how many blinks you get from the LED and not beeps. I'm not getting any blinks at all from the LED.

Right, i'll go and have a look at this. Do you know where the wires are located? I've heard they're under the cup holders. I'll try swapping them now and see what happens. Do I just swap them so there red to white instead of red to red etc?

Just done this and it hasn't gone off up to now! I think it must be something internal but I don't know how to stop it. Any ideas?

Just been to check and yes I get the light on the dash and the LED near the gear stick flashing. When I armed it just then it went off after about seconds! What I did get though is 4 beeps when switching it off but still no flashes from the LED.

Hi all, First of all i'm sorry for another alarm thread but this is doing my head in now! The other night I got woken up by my alarm so I switched it off and went back to sleep, 5 minutes later and it goes off again! This carried on so I had to leave my car unlocked in the end...
