But very glad it’s fixed now, it’s a lovely thing to drive! I KNEW it had dodgy brakes! I’m glad we didn’t drive it into MK or wherever we were planning to go in it now…I think it was a hairnet collection mission? Good to hear it’s fixed, and was a relatively simple issue. brownnova 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Thanks @Datsuncog they have arrived. Now it is 1982 and I am busy choosing a new company car! First thing I noticed is Metro City/std/L 1.0 have 45 bhp and the HLE 1.0 has 47bhp! I never knew that. Datsuncog and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what made the additional 2bhp but maybe it had stripes down the side or a spoiler. I think A+ came in a low compression spec too, which could run on 2-star (and probably shit overseas petrol). Or have I got that wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the HLE develops max power at 5,500 rpm while the others are 5,000 rpm. There is no compression ratio figures unfortunately. 2* petrol takes the power down from 45 bhp to 41 bhp. grogee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Jetter Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Something like that, IIRC HLE stood for HighLine Economy, as opposed to the wasteful HighLine. Did the same for Maestro and maybe Montygo too. grogee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the same for Maestro and maybe Montygo too. A family friend had a Maestro HLE with the LED "econometer". He hated it and likened it to a pair of slippers, and not in a good way. Intrigued about the additional 2bhp though. I wonder if it was mechanically the same but more advanced timing and DO NOT USE less than 95 octane...?

While we're nerd-gasming over BLARG shite, the Turbo has different front wing pressings as the bonnet is steeper to fit all the gubbins in. A nice pair. I think I prefer pre-facelift, just feels more 'honest'. timolloyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted December 24, 2021 Author Share Posted December 24, 2021 My garage have now ordered a calliper, but I am a bit concerned if it is the right one as Andyrew found two different types. We will know in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurious Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 If you're tight like me, BigRedd have a rebuild kit for £13, pistons, seals, boots, grease etc. Usually it's enough to get a caliper working again, unless the nipple or flexi has seized solid in them.

grogee Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Isn't it annoying when the caliper isn't mirror image left and right, eg the Flexi and bleed nipple positions are interchangeable. Whenever I look for 'handed' calipers 2nd-hand I always find 3 of the wrong side and none of the correct side. tooSavvy and Snake Charmer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
