Mudster Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 It's a small fun car and I think the colour really suits it's nature. Looks in great nick too. Nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2MB Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 So far, so good. It’s nice to wonder whether the fuel gauge works from not moving, rather than seeing it drop noticeably every journey. The thing was made for trundling up and down the M62. Fuel economy should have improved after pumping the front tyres up a bit from the 21psi that was in them. Rears still presumably soft as some bright spark has fitted a pair of aluminium dust caps that are now rather well seized on. Period sprayings of release oil don’t seem to be doing much, but I shall persevere a bit more before trying plan B Fabergé Greggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2MB Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 A little update on this, it hasn't seen a drop of diesel since the day I picked it up, and continues to start and drive exactly the same on roughly 95% veg 5% petrol (because winter). Will post a more recent pic when I've bothered to wash it, I'm ashamed to say it has been ever so slightly pineappled.Averaging 63mpg brim to brim mostly kicking its head in. If you wanted to it could easily top 70mpg, but I'd rather keep up with traffic The Moog, davehedgehog31, Lacquer Peel and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirley Knott Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I've seen a smidge over 70mpg in ours using hyper-miling techniques. These have to be one of the cheapest cars of our time. Amazing mpg, low purchase price and £30 tax makes them pretty hard to beat. davehedgehog31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2MB Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 Would anyone be in need of this before I put it up for sale properly? It has been faultless apart from the voltage regulator on the alternator packing up. £14 fix. I need to fit the new front pads I’ve bought for it and repair the blowing exhaust, and it has a bit broken off the front panel under the headlights and a snapped window winder. It has been the most dependable car I’ve ever owned but I can’t justify keeping it with our third child on the way. Will take a pic when I go outside but it looks like this with a bit less filth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVee8 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Class photos, how much are you thinking about for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2MB Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 I was thinking to do the few jobs and put it up for about £750 in the usual places, but prices seem to be all over the place. I can’t think of a cheaper way of getting about apart from cycling, which incidentally is how I commute now. Even so, there’s not much in it, tax is £30 a year and it does 60+mpg on veg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
