skattrd Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I think this is a sensible option, fingers crossed it provides cheap, troublefree motoring for a while. If the fuel tank is a similar size to Daihatsu L5 Mira/Cuore then it's tiny, 30l iirc, I'd stick a full can of fuel in the boot until you get used to the gauge and it's quirks.

I checked the oil (when I got back - as you do) and it wasn't even registering on the dipstick! Oops. Fuel gauge is iffy, will have to be careful. Give it enough time to drain down to the sump.

Wingz123 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Billy basic nothing to go wrong just keep it going and as said let it simply serve the purpose of being a car.... You may see it as boring but it'll be that boring that ends up saving you money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sat for a good 15-20 mins before I checked it.

It's actually not boring at all, it's like a little go kart and feels way more retro than its age suggests paulplom and Bamboocarman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually not boring at all, it's like a little go kart and feels way more retro than its age suggests I am more than a bit envious of the ride you have ended up with, apart from the funky fabric and the fact you seem to be to tall to actually drive it seems perfect.
