pauldoubleyou Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Forgot to say, if this is diesel (mine was) they seem to have a tendency for the MAF wiring to be a bit shit. The plugs snap or the wires fray at the plug. This can lead to it not starting. If this happens, give it a wiggling and it usually clears it until you can rewire. the upright position of driving seemed quite nice, yeah the trim was a bit shit but the thing that annoyed me was i had leather seats, and theyre like computer chairs. The slightesy bit of body roll and you end up sloding off the seat into the handbrake. Took mine fishing a few times and maybe achieved 44mpg ish? Sold mine to a mate and he fucked it. I fitted TT alloys and in hindsight they looked shit. Stick with the OEM ones. One of the only cars i had that connected to one of those cheapo ELM327 bluetooth adaptors off ebay for fault scanning. When i had it i did an oil change with 10w/40 meant for large ship diesel generators.. worked a treat. Lost the oil cap somehow in the process and never found it.

D Spares & Tyres Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 No thanks, limos are for the lower classes. Although that particular limo looks great for turning up at a Jeremy Kyle programme about cheating line dancers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Spares & Tyres Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Went to start the thing today and it had a totally flat battery First thought: ignition barrel ( thanks lankytim ) However it turned out I had left the sidelights on. The poxy thing bongs at me all the time anyway for all sorts of things so I must have just assumed it was telling me off for having a door open or something. It obviously has never heard the fable of the boy who cried wolf... Vince70, purplebargeken, catsinthewelder and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Spares & Tyres Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 12 months MoT as of this morning A couple of advisories but nothing major It now has Audi A3 wheels off an A3 I broke up a few months ago. It drives much better now it has some squishier rubber. The previous 17 inches were too hard and followed imperfections in the road. I would have kept them on til they wore down but one was borderline legal and I wasn't willing to buy anotherMay paint them black, haven't decided yetI'll sort the advisories, fit crank pulley and maybe tax it in a few weeks when they are done catsinthewelder, Dirk Diggler, Dick Longbridge and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lankytim Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I really fancied flames on mine, but didn’t want to become “one of them” Line dancing surely awaits anyone who mods a PT Cruiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramz7 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 One drove past me this morning. To be fair the styling isn't as bad as I remember it being. Remarkably it was unmodified too. I remember seeing a (utterly wrecked looking) taxi one about a year or so ago on the M4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsinthewelder Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Gr8 news that it's made it through another test, Jason will be delighted. Looks like it's first one for years that it hasn't previously failed on some part of the antiroll bar. Did you have to fix much for the test?

Looks like it's first one for years that it hasn't previously failed on some part of the antiroll bar. Did you have to fix much for the test?Nope, just greased some brake pipes and changed an injector seal as it was pissing diesel out ( or so I thought ) Turns out that whatever butcher who had changed the seal on no.1 injector had somehow bent the short steel fuel line so it would no longer seal. It was filling up the area where the injectors sit and was bubbling around no.3 injector, so although it did have a very slight leak, most of the problem was caused by the bent pipe. Slackened it off, tapped with a hammer to straighten it and its fine now. catsinthewelder and purplebargeken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I am utterly unable to be embarrassed by anything that I have driven. One guy many years ago went to town on restoring a Dolomite, he fitted a mopdern engine and he did a fantastic job. He painted it black and had some very subtle flame outlines painted on in satin black. The way it was done looked amazing.

AnthonyG Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 The black one with the flames looks alright, probably because it’s not covered in plastic chrome tat. The van conversion, done properly like on the red one pictured, also looks OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Spares & Tyres Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Was keeping this as a spare car but mum doesnt want the Corolla i bought her so would rather keep that asnd sell this so if anyone wants it they can have it for £300 10 months test Drives well. Needs a crank pulley as its noisy on tickover, and a ball joint as it was an advisory Location, Ludlow Shropshire 105,000 miles Very tidy interior.

clayts450 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Gawd help me I seem to be drawn to this thing.... Hopefully there'll be a stampede of some other suckers potential buyers on here that'll enable me to banish any such impure thoughts from my head. I have not* being looking at reviews on Youtube or train timetables (not too bad, 3 hrs or so, 2 changes). Nor have I have been amazed at just how much space there are in these things when you shift the seats around.... djimbob and D Spares & Tyres 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
