Kiltox Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 82k miles, MOT May I think. EML is on for a misfire but it doesn't actually misfire very often any more. Think it's leaking core plugs fouling the leads with water. Has an oil leak from the rocker cover Paint is rough (swirl marks) but a good buff would sort it Recent timing belt and aux belts. £350, Cheltenham. Can pick you up from the station. Can't find photos at the moment but I'll take a couple shortly. Here's an interior shot with the very subtle mats
sofarsogood Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 May not be the core plugs leaking. It could be water leaking in through the washer jet holes on the bonnet. This then nicely collects around the plugs causing a misfire. My wife's fezza of similar vintage did the same. Fixed with bathroom sealant under the washer jet outlets. Common problem apparently.
garbaldy Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Mine had new plugs new coil and leads and was bone dry, a compression check resulted in a head of job to find a chunk of valve missing.
Kiltox Posted January 7, 2017 Author Posted January 7, 2017 Gods polish hard at work - the paint is swirly and it's had those stupid door edge protectors at some point which have unsurprisingly fucked the door edges.
Kiltox Posted January 7, 2017 Author Posted January 7, 2017 Don't think so. Probably just needs a regas m8 Sheefag 1
bub2006 Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Shit. When did they get so cheap Craig the Princess 1
Kiltox Posted January 7, 2017 Author Posted January 7, 2017 This ones not perfect but they are getting proper cheap now!
Kiltox Posted January 7, 2017 Author Posted January 7, 2017 Oh I have a replacement set of washer jets somewhere - will chuck them in.
bub2006 Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Then again it's hard to imagine an 04 plate motor being nearly 13 years old M'coli, Twiggy and Kiltox 3
vaughant Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 These are/were my mates fave cars to mot as he reckons their well put together and easily accessible.We made a few bits for these back in the day and the tolerances of parts were tightened up so it rings true.Missfires now scare me though, especially after a coilpack* on my zaff turned out to be cyl 3 no compression 😩😩😩
Kiltox Posted January 8, 2017 Author Posted January 8, 2017 It very rarely actually misfires - pretty confident it's a water to the plugs issue rather than anything else
vaughant Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 It very rarely actually misfires - pretty confident it's a water to the plugs issue rather than anything elseSounds fine then and most likely nothing major.Mine was a constant misfire and then started smoking a bit. Turns out all vaux are shite etc etc etc. Kiltox 1
Kiltox Posted January 8, 2017 Author Posted January 8, 2017 It's pretty good fun to drive too - surprised how quick off the mark it is for s run of the mill car!
Lord Sterling Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Hmmm, interesting.... I do like these. I always found them rather nice to drive and built quite solidly.
Kiltox Posted January 11, 2017 Author Posted January 11, 2017 Probably GR9 for incoming SNOKAOS - small FWD hatches usually are
Guest Hooli Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Just to upset everyone I hate them. The pedals being in the passenger footwell instead of in front of the driver fuck up my bad RH knee so quick that I'm limping after a 20 min drive. Plus even our Caddy is quieter on main roads.
Kiltox Posted January 11, 2017 Author Posted January 11, 2017 That's fine because you're obviously going to buy my Laguna instead Cavcraft 1
Kiltox Posted January 13, 2017 Author Posted January 13, 2017 Can confirm that this is GR10 in 1mm of snow
Kiltox Posted January 24, 2017 Author Posted January 24, 2017 Any love for this before I take it to the auctions? Insulting offers entertained.
Kiltox Posted February 3, 2017 Author Posted February 3, 2017 Bump because I'm too lazy to take this to the auctions but need it to be somewhere else soon
Kiltox Posted February 11, 2017 Author Posted February 11, 2017 Anyone got £250 for this? I've robbed the battery but have another I can charge and stick on
Kiltox Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 Tried to trade this in against my Duster and they valued it at £1 Probably found a buyer anyway.
