It came of a bit of a surprise, hell of a bang 😂 I think I have all the necessary attributes to get it fixed but having them all at the same time is a different matter!
I'm in the Ipswich area. Tried to ring 101 to tell the police there may be oil on the dual carriageway and i was put...
Thanks for the advice :up: i know 'what is it worth' posts are usually frowned upon, i just genuinely have no clue..... that as a ballpark figure is great :up:
I'm honestly so out of touch with how much it is realistically worth, I thought it would be more in thw region of 1k..... However if this is the case it may be a more viable option. Thanks for the advice by the way, sorry I must sound like a complete nonce
I'd be happy to sell to someone to save it, I just have no clue on the value
It's more the enthusiasm for the car has died as well I guess. Seems a shame to just scrap it though
I may be wrong but I think scrap value is at around £150 a car at the moment.... Is there anything of great value worth removing before? Steering Wheel is in pretty good nick, spoiler, turini wheels, scorpion exhaust, interior.....
Sorry for the lack of knowledge, it's been a while since I've...
Thanks for the advice I used to be a mechanic so I would have thought I could swap the engine, it's time and inconvenience more than anything and o was looking to get rid of the car anyway
Pretty sure it's engine, to dark to see right now, looked lower than camshaft seals I think. Its lowered on shocks and springs (eibach maybe) scorpion ss exhaust, turini wheels, private plate. To be fair I was looking to get rid of it soon anyway so I'm not sure if an engine change would be on...
Hi guys,
Tonight unfortunately my FF BG 182 went pop..... Lots of smoke, noise and the oil is on the outside of the engine rather than the in.....
Basically I was just wondering what is best to do with the car now. I'm not sure how much it would be worth to sell, how much it would be worth in...
Probably been answered a million times but can't find the answer I need. Seen some mintex rear disks, pads and bearings for around £70 on eBay. Will these be as good as a chocolate tea pot or will they suffice.
Any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the info! It's not that much of a worry to me but it's just slightly annoying.
Would a bonnet from a different car be a good paint match only being an 04 plate car? Or would it be a case of just getting the original bonnet sprayed? Don't really want to spend a fortune as it's not...
I have noticed that my bonnet has began to develop 4 or 5 hairline cracks in the paintwork. Is this normal or has the bonnet been repaired at some point and it's due to paint or filler shrinkage?
Sorry for the crappy quality photos but you can see that they are not usual scratches as the seem to...
Since owning my 182 it has had damage around the o/s/f wheel
To me it looks like it has had some serious rubbage at some point. It's really not that obvious but it bugs me every time I wash my car.
Has anyone else had similar damage to their car?
The car is a 182 ff on turinis, (7j et...
Yeah that sounds about right, both sides are worn evenly in comparison to each other so if there was a problem then surely it would be on both sides, quite unlikely really I guess. When I order some new 195 tyres I'll get the geometry checked just in case.
Thanks guys for all the advice though...
That's good news, the equivalent 205 tyre is about £120 compared to £70 in 195. There will be a difference front to back but I'm sure it will be fine as long as each corner isn't different
Also would it be safe/easy to fit 195 tyres to 205 alloys? I'm pretty sure it's what I used to run on my mk2 golf but really can't remember? Fact is the seem to be around half the price for a decent brand tyre!
Hi guys had a little search on the forum and couldn't find anything similar so I'm hoping I'm not wasting anyone's time!
I'm running Bridgestone turanzas all round on my ff 182 at the moment (205/45/16/83w on turinis) At the front on booth sides, the outer and inner of the tyre is almost bald...
I have my mot and service due tomorrow and as if by magic my washer jets have decided to pack up :mad:
Both fronts and rear have stopped working, the motor still sounds like it is trying to pump the water round but nothing comes out. I have had a little look round and all i have found is that...
Spotted once in Framlingham at about 5.40 and in Ipswich at copdock roundabout at 9.40 ish? guessing it was the same car, looked sweeeet :cool: anyone on here?
