generally really good little cars, make sure both the key cards work if it has keyless entry, engine and gearboxes are very reliable in them, look for good service history, they like good quality oil being turbo charged so worth having it done if its not been serviced recently
buy a late 2015 or newer for MediaNav Evolution its night and day better (evolution can be identified by the outside temperature reading on top right of the screen beside the clock) - it doesn't do traffic info either but the nav is better, the system is much more responsive and sound quality is...
if the fan coming on isnt bringing the temperature down I would say the issue is the efficiency of the radiator so either its got an air lock, sludge or possibly the fins are badly damaged and not enough air flow getting through.
I would flush it and put fresh coolant in and bleed if the...
5 days in and ive never taken a car out more "just for the sake of it" than I am doing with this, even at 17/18 in my 172 when I had unlimited free time! I am actually blown away with it! - never a truer statement to take what you read in magazines with a pinch of salt!
I might look into it once it's a bit further Into the warranty period, I've used rs tuning on some of my previous cars before
I took it a good 30 minute test drive and tbh it felt like any other modern auto, I'd say it was only after 24hrs and 250 miles that it started to come into its own and...
different front ends:
197:
200:
are you changing the manifold or just the gasket? I assume the manifold is blowing from the flexi joint so needs a new full manifold (or yours repaired once removed)? its a pig of a job and a common issue.
Picked this up yesterday, 220 Trophy facelift, options fitted are:
Black leather with red stitching
Heated seats
reversing camera
id have loved the BOSE and Akrapovic but had to take what was available as production has ended!
will get some more pictures tomorrow, not had time for any as I...
Looking good on the Twingo wheels, I would try and source the Dacia intercooler instead, that's what I had for my 80, it is a direct replacement for the dci 100 unit

2nd vote for good condition T420/T430 Lenovo with plenty change (from a 420 anyway) ive setup loads for people
the ktec I had (centreline) came with an adaptor to fit to the standard cat or you could run it with their decat/sports cat for full 2.5" which I done with a silenced decat.
needs ECU mapping to support it, it will let you tweak it slightly but as your finding over boost protection puts a stop to it to protect your engine...
not had any experience with consumables on these yet but as far as I can see its basically similar to a 172/182, expensive belt changes, no fancy front hubs etc like the 197 to worry about. same size front brakes.
No rust given they are still under 10yrs old, interesting to see what happens as...
My mates selling this wee 1.4 16v, hes looking for more than £500 but I'm sure if your able to stretch a tad he would be willing to drop a tad!

yeah mate 7000rpm limiter is a couple hundred rpm under the 172/182 engine, small flat spot around 4000rpm then pickup from 5000rpm+
it feels like an under powered 172 with dodgy cam timing :tongueclosed: but tbh, it never feels slow as its so light with a short ratio box, even when you pull...
if its the same setup on the facelift as the pre facelift then I had a sunroof in my GT and I would NEVER have another it used to rattle rattle rattle constantly and I couldn't find out where it was coming from, forum was full of complaints too. Climate is nice though!
yeah 100% its a hoot...
yeah the ride is pretty stiff, I don't find it too bad though, road noise is bad though! makes her old Dynamique DCi feel like a Rolls Royce lol
So I see! this one is due a wheel refurb but I'm not doing it yet due to her track record lol!
Good power there, no desire to modify this one...
Just picked this up for my mrs,
ive always wrote them off as just not having enough power to be fun, my old tuned Twingo GT used to eat them for breakfast in a straight line, but this thing has really got under my skin, so much so she has driven it once and taken my DCi Dynamique S Clio to...
