Station Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'm selling Mr Nip.It's been trouble free since I bought it in 2013, apart from the engine exploding on m6. I've since replaced engine with sub 20k one.It doesn't overheat everything runs fine. I think there's a small leak on the bottom of the radiator, but it's been so long since I've driven it I can't remember correctly. My lady friend drove it for two years and obv had no clue so I think it's fine.It had recent new tyres, exhaust system, cam belt, thermostat. I bought a brand new battery last year as woman kept leaving the lights on. It also has adjustable coil overs. The ride isn't much harsher than original set up, I reckon it's improved it. Cornering is ridiculous!There are two 80's Wolfrace seats up front - these slide back right to the rear seats, my 5'9" frame fits with the seats halfway, there is LOADS of room.I reckon this would suit a learner as visibility is excellent. It can keep up to 70mph traffic with five gears, and doesn't scream it's crankshaft off.£5 per ticket1 The Moog2 The Moog3 The Moog4 The Moog5 The Moog6 spartacus7 KruJoe8 AlsoMike9 AlsoMike10 bub200611 Fat_Pirate12 sporty-shite13 Cavcraft14 UltraWomble15 ShiteRider16 Dave_Q17 Fat_Pirate18 barmatt19 Fat_Pirate20 bub20062122 Rave23 sporty-shite24 UltraWomble25 bub200626 spartacus27 95 quid Peugeot28 Sigmund Fraud2930 ShiteRider3132 bub20063334 FOAD35 WilsonWilson3637 95 quid Peugeot3839 WilsonWilson40 blakey794142 barmatt4344 Rave45 sporty-shite46 bub200647 ShiteRider4849 WilsonWilson50 Sam Glover5152 FOAD53 Sigmund Fraud54 Cavcraft5556 Fat_Pirate57 Cavcraft58 UltraWomble59 Lacquer Peel, Laseraligningfoofooflanges, willswitchengage and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Station Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 No it's manual, five speed. Just dropping it off for MOT now. I used to love blatting this down the A5, it's a series of roundabouts with long bendy roads, you didn't have to brake for corners, it's really grippy and light.

Station Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 This passed its MOT on Monday. Welded new sill on o/s front and back, new front n/s tyre, and new front brake pads and calipers pins (they were binding). eddyramrod, Sigmund Fraud, Urko and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Station Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 I wanted the seats on the Blue forum and i still do....where are you,miles away?Did you just want the seats and not the mounts? I TIG welded steel tube frame which are bolted to the original runners and want to put Starion seats in (if they fit). The bottom of the seat has a flat plate with mounting holes in. I've been driving this a bit with the possibility of driving it to Europe for an interview (I would drive anywhere over a quick flight), but I think it would be too heroic and unsuitable.400 is a very loose guide price by the way.

smellypoo Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 dollywobbler, I have now twigged on your earlier comment about 'sexy graphics'! the pain of having to watch an advert like that can only be surpassed by the shame of having to take part in it... I wonder where they are now...? EDIT - I've just watched this again (I'm a glutton for punishment) - the sexy graphics one also has vinyl 'twin headlamp' mimicking stickers!

Station Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 I still have it, my mum said I should give it to my niece who is taking her lessons in September but I can get her something else. It's parked SORNed on my mums driveway atm.I'm not sure how similar it is to a Uno but the suspension on coilovers is solid. It's uber-reliable and unbeatable around town though. I plan on putting MGF seats in as the bucket seats are a bit too retro. marky-mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
