Hi, thought battery had died as car did the click click no start routine. New battery in but now nothing. Except when I turn the key to its first point the alarm goes off for say 10 seconds but doesn't repeat. No power to windows, radio, clock etc. No lights on dash either. My ignition barrel...

Hi, I know there are many posts on this but I'm still bamboozled! I've always had problems with these lights coming on but usually a quick fumble under both seats sorts it. Not now though. Car has been sitting up for nine months, damp and mouldy. Changed engine and gearbox so lots of pulling at...

Hi. Can't get power to the head light washer pump. Swapped power supply from windscreen pump and a bumper jet worked so not the pump. All fuses are good. Car has been off the road for nine months and there was some mold and damp inside. I opened the six relays at back of uch and two were...

Hi. Had engine and box out to do belts and clutch. All back in but EML light is on and starter appears to have no power. I did all the work outside so water in electrics is possible (tried to keep dry). Hooked up to the code reader and all sensors appear to have a reading. Tried a jump lead from...

Hi. Does anyone know if the cam alignment tool should slot in without assistance when checking at tdc after cam belt change? Its so close as in doesnt look like its a tooth out. I can get it in with my hands. Normally that last sentence would be funny. Been at this for two days now. Thanks!

Hi, I recently bought an Autel scan tool to try and figure out what was going on with my misbehaving 182. It connects on KWP 2000 and reads about 15 parameters. I have my head around all but three. Would anybody be familiar with why the following happens: 1) Calculated Engine Load reads around...

Hi,182 recently failed test on emissions. Lambda 1.07 at 3000rpm. I have used a scan tool and all the main engine sensors appear to be functioning as they should while driving. I have had an intermittent problem with the engine dying underload (on one specfic hill only) and under light load now...

Hi, Having trouble passing NCT (Irish MOT) on emissions on my 182. One obvious problem is the dephaser is not well. Put a litre or so of Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabiliser in and noise stopped and passed an independant gas analysis. Two weeks later it failed the NCT on Lambda 1.07. Tonight I did a...

Hi, Had a look through many related posts but none appear to deal with both problems. Its a 2005 182 with 110K on it. For the last year or so it's intermittently either started straight away or not at all. It will always start first thing in the morning. When it wont start I've gone through...
