Seat bolsters etc in great condition, anyone know if top tips to clean silver seat belts?

Pull seat belt fully out.

Place seat belt outside of the car.

Close car door on said seat belt.

Jet wash it. Works a treat.

Alternatively use Persil in a bucket of water and a nail brush.

One thing I noticed was a slight dampness in the footwell this morning, didn't mist up at all...drainholes blocked?

It's possible you're right as it could then leak through the heater system. I'd have a poke around the drain holes & take the carpets out to dry them which in turn will allow the sound insulation to breathe/dry but if you've got access to a garage, then do as suggested and chuck a small fan heater in the car with the windows down slightly for a while or use Mrs Mikeyr's hair dryer (preferably when she's not around) to help the drying process along....Ive used MrsCs in the past when she's not looking at what I'm doing in the man cave for jobs including drying the lacquer on the plenums for my Alfa GTV

Cannot see how you could go wrong at that price. It's probably better than a lot of the lower mileage examples. Run it for a while then sell it to bruv

Superb VFM.

A worthwhile mod is to polybush the rear engine mount (aka the "dogbone") - makes a huge difference to the gearchange/handling imo, mine was only on 80k miles, but the change was astonishing.

At work yesterday was an 05 182; without Cup Suspension, in the window was a for sale sign; £4995, I thought to myself "wow that's pricey", compared to this one it most definately is pricey.

I rang a 182 Cup demo for 6 months, it's the best car I've ever had.

I am seriously looking at getting one of these next year if the prices are this low!

That's trophy money surely?
