Guest Hooli Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I'm sure I've the original Daewoo brochures somewhere. A 2.0 8v would be a laugh dropped in a Nexia. Was that the Mk2 Astra shaped one? If so I knew one once that got used to reshell a crashed Redtop Astray GTE with several bits of tweakage, most amusing as they'd left it looking like a giffer mobile.

wuvvum Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 There was a Lanos on eBay a while back which had had an Astra GSI engine dropped in. Looked like it could have been a giggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Well fuck me if this little car hasnt decided to cheer itself up a bit. Just had it out for a run. No banging, no pulling to the left, coasting a lot better. Put a palm on the wheels after a run and the passenger front is still warmer than the rest, but not hot like it was last time I drove it. Maybe its decided to meet me half way. Caliper and discs/pads are on the way so should be in fine enough fettle soon.

Jim Bell Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 With the MYSTERY ROFFLE action incoming, I need to clear the decks. I thought I'd see if theres any interest in the Lanos before Gumtree. 1999/2000 Daewoo Lanos 1.6. 72k miles.MOT November 2018. 3 door with rear pop out windows. Electric Mirror. Electric Windows. PAS. ABS.Central Locking. Alloy wheels. Air Con but it doesnt work.Sony stereo but its a but of a psychopath. Boot changer with no cartridge that proably doesnt work. Viarable intermittent wiper. Two keys! Comes with new discs/pads and a reconditioned passenger front calliper from Big Red. The calliper on that wheel has eased right up with use and barely even drags any more. Guess its still worth changing if youre doing the discs and pads but its no impedance to use, car coasts fine, brakes work fine.

No insurance company has ever said anything like that to me man. But quotes for policies are sometimes oddly sky high.
