Hi all, I've just purchased a 182 Trophy (No.382) today, rather a nice upgrade from my Fiat Seicento Sporting! It needs some work doing to make it perfect but it's brilliant to drive all the same :D However the battery light is on, as is the STOP light. At high revs this goes out so I believe...

Hi folks, I periodically do the trip-button diagnostic test to make sure 007 is running ok and of the four ---- the first one has come up with a t, which I think is an injection fault? Has anyone had this or got any more information to shed on the matter? Got no idea if it's serious or not...

...........unsure if it is my imagination but my Trophy appears to be lower on the front than the back when parked and thinking the worst about front dampers. Had recent MOT and no problems whatsoever, no leaks from the dampers and the 'gap' on both sides feel ok. Is it just my paranoya (sorry...

Can anyone tell me where this is please? I had a go at the dashboard fault finding trick yesterday and it came up with a 't' and 'h'. I'm assuming the oil level sensor won't be too difficult to replace but an injection problem?! The car goes like the proverbial so maybe it's another sensor?.

Hi all Ive just recently fitted a cat-back RS192 and ever since the engine doesnt run properly when cold. At 1000-2000 revs when gently accelerating i.e. 10-20% throttle it pops and farts and doesnt want to go at all, but when the revs get up to 3ishk and above it springs back into life. this...
