My grandad had the same car in the same colour from new in 1998. I really liked it, looked pretty smart because he forked out for the extra AMG alloy's.
He chopped it in in 02 for a new convertible one which my Nan still has now, think its only done 25k.

I disagree. My mate is selling his 182 at the moment, pretty low mileage and just had the belts and dephaser done and he would probably take £2700 for it.

It could be that your problem is thermostat / coolant temperature sensor related.
A 1*2 has 3 different rev limiters to prevent damage being caused whilst the engine is cold.
IIRC The first is around 6000 RPM the second at around 6800 RPM and the last one when fully warmed up at 7200 RPM. If...
Thanks :)
They are great value for money TBF. Can't see myself having another one though.
The PH1 exclusive will probably be my old neighbour who's on here.
Normally I'd agree but like I said its all been done on the cheap, is more or less finished and doesn't owe me a great deal.
If your interested here's a breakdown for you.
Car was £550
Bodywork cost me £150 (£50 for a new door and wing mirror in the right colour and £100 for the sills to be...
I’ve been considering a turbo recently as my renewal is due next month and it’s only about £100 more than what I have now. Mine is a daily though so it’s the reliability (especially when tuned) that puts me off.
Trying to find a standard one would be a tall order too.
I actually really like...
The N/A's all have slightly different power outputs. Mine is a rev 3 so is the most powerful N/A and has (or had) 175bhp. The earlier ones are 118bhp and 158bhp and the later ones are down to 168bhp due to emissions and are a bit heavier because of gay stuff like airbags and side impact bars :)...
Probably not everyone's cup of tea but i thought i'd chuck up a few pics of my MR2.
I originally bought this as a run around while i waited to go travelling with the intention of using it until the tax and MOT ran out then selling it spares/repairs.
I didn't end up travelling and have really...
The gearbox in 1*2's is horrid. Sounds like you've got a bit of a shitter and i'm not surprised you haven't gelled with it given what it's cost you. Even so some people just done like them, i never really gelled with my 182 if i'm honest.
