Weirdo Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hi, I'm Weirdo - I've been browsing this forum for probably 15 years or so & decided to join because I can contribute some pics to spotters threads etc. I love old cars and bikes & have a couple of old bikes. The old bikes I have are an RD125DX 1976 & a TS125 1972. I have no room or need for a car currently but have a great interest in them & appreciate the enthusiasm on this site & want to join in when I have the time. A pleasure to introduce myself to everyone 👍 Skizzer, Wilko220, SmokinWaffle and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, just sorting a few of the niggles out, drivers control for electric rear window switch replaced, passengers rear window motor/cable replaced (cable snapped) going to do drivers side rear as a bit slow. Replaced front centre arm rest as a bit tatty. Oil and filter done and replaced the alternator belt and tensioner as a bit noisy. Rear brakes sorted but when the wheel was off did see it needs a bit of welding done near the back suspension mount, will do that when weather gets better. Then I will address the lacquer peel/ paint issue 😕. I have wanted a 166 for a while now so I am happy now 😀. andyberg, Kringle and Remspoor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it, I was on the hunt for a large -ish hatchback and tipo ticked most of the boxes. The 1.4t-jet won't win any races (or maybe that's driver issue) but allows to cruise comfortably at motorway speeds, 6th gear is a blessing. It is a bit thirsty but then it's driven mostly on short distances nowadays... went for s-design option and the interior is large and comfy. So you're getting a lot of car for less than the premium brands. chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
