Just having a moan to make me feel better!

[savs_redtop]

My nova has been idling like sh*t and on the idle speed control valve the jubilee clip is the wrong way round which makes things worse, not sure why but the headlights and dash lights have started dimming as if im loosing power :tard: I splashed out yesterday on two new yoko`s yesterday because my front tyres have gone old and bold! then i woke up this morning to find i had a flat so i got out my qualitly vauxhall jack which claimed some of the skin off my knuckles:cry: then the jack slipped a bit and managed to push my wing out a little to give it some kind of escort cossie look! so I carried on with my day as always n then the heavens opened so I flicked the stalk to get the single wiper moving and it managed to find itself on the bonnet:mad: I realised my day was goin from bad to worse! ive just tryed to adjust the linkage and then snap:eek: ! I broke the plasic ball join thingy on the end. Goodbye wiper. what a load sh*t w*nk, sorry I had to have a moan about it!

One of those days where you cut your losses and head back to bed before you kill yourself, or someone close by. Think everyone's had days like these.

[savs_redtop]

yep you know!

[draper]

unlucky pal, welcome to my world lol

One of those days where you cut your losses and head back to bed before you kill yourself, or someone close by. Think everyone's had days like these.

I was thinking cut your loses and just sell the car lol

Im there ^ now, i can no longer be ****d to put it with a tin can that was designed on tetris taking the piss. **** breaks, and you cant even buy the parts anymore ahahahhahaha

no airbags, no ABS, no anti lock brakes etc

Pug GTi here i come, 102bhp per tone, 120bhp at wheels, 920kg kerb weight, why bother with a nova lol

Because mine will leave your french effort standing!

106 GTi BT

Im not having it for speed, just a nice newer car with same power as my present nova. French it may be, but when you slam there doors rust doesnt fall out the bottom like 50% of the UK's nova's hahahahahahaha

No, the dash falls out, the seats fall off their runners, the indicator stalks come away and the headlining peels away like a wet pair of pants PMSL

[Mike]

http://www.gtiowners.co.uk well if you dont have respect!

so what you saying? if you no longer own a nova you cant use this site? Tell that to Rajorjack, Phil Sutton and JKHilton then ;)

and i think they'll say the same as me, jog on you mug hahahahahaha lol

[Philsutton]

920kg kerb weight


pmsl, on par with a corsa gsi there.

I drive a corsa but they are just as ****e lol, they come with gay PAS, ABS, air bags an the like. Thats why i have a povety spec one. Novas look better though.

[Mike]

I know full well what there like, working here www.jam-motorsport.co.uk (http://www.jam-motorsport.co.uk) taught me a lot about them

tbh, there still better then a nova tho. Newer, safer, cheaper to insure due to immob as standard, better MPG, better interior the list goes on.....

so why post it and imply for me to fcuk off then ehh? :roll:

[Philsutton]

Newer

thats where i have to piss on your fire, maybe im getting old but a newer car doesnt automatically mean its better. If I had the money and the space I would happyily drive around in 1960s Chevy everyday. Newer just means more complicated, more unneeded wiring ect..

Agree totally. Its just a shame that as a trade off, it has no character whatsoever. Its as dull as a day out in Swindon lol

And i also fail to see what it is about Jam that needs tuning Even Marmalade has pretty good spec from standard? Although I CAN see why that would give you an insight into Peugeots lol lol

[Mike]

ffs its like banging my head against a wall lol

Im not getting a GTi to "chav" up! It'll be staying boggo standard!! So yes all that dead weight of none essentail ****e will stay in the car & the back seats will still in the back!

[Mike]

The reason im getting a pug is because im as familiar to them as i am to a nova.

Also, all the factors i mentioned, do play a part in me buying french

Hello? Your on a Vauxhall forum bigging up Pugs! I dont care if the fecker is gold plated and the exhaust gas actually PLANTS trees, id still rather drive a milkfloat with a strimmer engine. lol

lol lol lol haha genius!

[Lee]

No, you said it was like banging your head on a brick wall... i was merely stating that even if you told me it had 300bhp and did 70mpg, i would still rather stick my head in a lions mouth and flick its bollocks with a wet towel than own it lol Surely you know me by now!

Even Dar's GTi 6, despite being a good car which goes very well indeed, i still have something niggling me in the back of my head that reminds me its been built by a frenchman who really only builds cars so theres something to burn in case theres another riot lol

[Philsutton]

and the exhaust gas actually PLANTS trees

what about if the engine was a tree

[Mike]

tbh, the impression im getting is that once you own a nova and register on here, you cannot sell, scrap it or buy any other make of car other then GM lmfao

Theres more to life then tin can nova's designed on tetris ladies ;) i know some of you would never part with your nova, but FFS its my fcuking car you know what i mean, so its my choice

[novawez]

wo slow down son i agree with bottlethroddy y u tryin to big up pugs on a nova forumhttp://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h20/novawez/watchit.jpgthats like askin the jews to love hitler you know what i mean;) lol

[JSeymour]

lotn- you seem the type of person that plits up with a girl and then rips and slags her off to everyone! even if shes nice as pie. thats the impression i get from the posts in this thread anyway.

novas and 106's are both cheap cars! and id say there both pretty good, light, handle well, look good(novas look better : ) imo)etc......but if your gunna rip novas dont bother! and go on about how your new car is when its just the same! you can only do that if you move on to a proper car that's out off a novas league.


peace

[Mike]

wo slow down son i agree with bottlethroddy y u tryin to big up pugs on a nova forumthats like askin the jews to love hitler you know what i mean;) lol

And what? Its the internet, its called a public forum where the public can voice there opinion. now correct me if im wrong, im a part of that public arnt i ;)

[novawez]

thats the cherry jseymour

[Mike]

lotn- you seem the type of person that plits up with a girl and then rips and slags her off to everyone! even if shes nice as pie. thats the impression i get from the posts in this thread anyway

however did you guess lol, yeah but no im afraid hahahahahahahaha

[Mike]

and seymour, i am yet to pick a pug, if you looky << i still have a nova, and a corsa (which is proper terrible lol)

I dont think youve read the rest of this thread, i am not ripping a nova, ive got one i know there ****e and you think i want the whole world to know ;) i merely stated that a better newer version of a nova is the car im getting next, a pug 106 gti.

[novawez]

;)oh can i buy your nova;)

[Mike]

;)oh can i buy your nova;)

if yoube got ?1300 its yours

[Lee]

i merely stated that a better newer version of a nova is the car im getting next, a pug 106 gti.

Steady! Dont start saying its better, thats just silly! lol

[craig green]

Silly argument.

Both cars are poor & not worth a gnats breath if you were 50 & usually get cheuffeured about in a 7 series. Fact of the matter is a Nova is generation behind a 106 anyway & the fact that both cars have been compared in this thread bodes well for the Nova.

I havent got any issues with anyone on this site that doesnt have a Nova anymore or even just wishes they did. Good luck with the Pug, youre gonna need it!

[Lee]

Good luck with the Pug, youre gonna need it!

Craig, your a legend lol lol

[Mike]

Good luck with the Pug, youre gonna need it!

I know lol Mock me all you want, a lot of what you hear about them is actually bull tbh

Freinds and family of mine have never had any problems with theres tbh

[Philsutton]

in all fairness it could be worse he could be saying a R5 is reliable lol

[Mike]

in all fairness it could be worse he could be saying a R5 is reliable lol

Now thats just plain ****ing stupid

[craig green]

And asking to be gagged for such stupidity!

And still, you miss the point entirely. lol

[Mike]

handle brilliant i think, fall to pieces just as brillaintly tho :(

[Novasport]

Just my opinion but I would never buy a french car, they are awful.
My mates 106 Rallye was so unreliable & kept dropping to bits, he just wanted shot of it in the end & sold it back to the dealer. He even wanted to buy my old Sport off me in its place!.
My Girlfriend had a 306 td Sport thing and that was shocking! It had a different fault every month even though it was low mileage and only a few years old. Faults included included:-
Caliper cracked?!?
Rear beam bushes split
Exhuast back box rotted through and dropped off!
Clutch at 36,000miles(And yes she can drive properly!)
Wiring harness for the drivers door wore through and went green
Engine sprung water leaks everywhere
Radiator split(Tried about 5 different places to get a new one & there was loads of different types)
The final straw was when the starter wiring shorted and nearly set the car on fire, luckily the fire brigade got there in time and cut the battery cable.
I'm sorry but if something trys to kill you they kinda put you off!!!
She traded it in and bought herself a Corsa C and never had a days trouble in the four years she had it, she has now upgraded to a Sportshatch & she loves it.
My neighbour has a 306 and I dont think it has ever started on the first attempt
Quality cars!!!! Not

[Lee]

Bless you sir for bringing evidence to the melting pot. lol

[craig green]

everyone knows French cars are made of paper.

We could start a whole thread titled 'post your French car woes'.

[craig green]

It would get to 10 pages before midnight!

Gutted or what, sounds just like my nova though tbh

[Lee]

yup, and id post half of it, with absolutely no evidence to back up my claims. And thats the beauty of it, i dont need any lol

[Novasport]

Apparently most of these are common faults!!!
They even carried the fault over to the 307, apperently they had a habbit of going up in flames, they were on watchdog a couple of years ago.

[Novasport]

You come to expect it on a car thats at least 15 years old, not a four year old car:roll:

[welsh_roadrally]

I've got a G reg 205 GTi aswell as two Nova's,two Mini's and a Civic VTi

I use the Civic everyday as its quick,reliable,got every posible electrical option etc but its bland and lacks soul...

My Nova GSi i bought because i always wanted one and it was clean...

My SR Nova is my road rally car,that caused me loads of stress,spent a week welding it and doing the bodywork,and i've had a host of mechanical problems with it,all this and i've done less than 30 miles in it since september when i bought it!,most people would have given up on it but i've got a bond with it now and me and the little car are going to have hours of fun on these night rallys:thumb: ...

My mini's(98'R Cooper mpi and 94'M Cooper Monte Carlo) ive got Because i've always liked them and always said i'd have at least one:) ...

The 205 1.6 GTi (90'G)i bought 4 years ago(for ?150) to build into a stage rally car,had failed the m.o.t on brake pipes,joints,emissions e.t.c,found that the engine had been rebuilt badly so i replaced that,then found the gearbox was knackered,changed that,fitted a non sunroof roof skin,replaced the headlight backing panels as they had rotted away,did all the bodywork,sprayed the car,fitted the cage/seats/cut-off/extinguisher e.t.c,bought all the nice bits: big brakes/bilsteins/braided lines/cam+vernier/hyd handbrake/poly bushes/sump+tank guards/e.t.c
got to the point where had gone from ?150 to ?3k+ and wasn't even finished,?3k would buy a decent RAC logbooked 205/Nova e.t.c with spares ready to use...
I then came across something that really put a spanner in the works= french wiring!,yes when they go green and break up!,i've had another 3 complete looms from breakers yards and they've all been the same so the cars been untouched for 6 months and i bought my SR to use instead,i will make a loom up myself but i've lost interest in the project and there's no motivation:( ...

As i see it most cars have bad points,the peugeot is the most stressful car i've ever owned(and i've had loads!),the SR has stressed me out aswell,the civic i've had for a year,done 8k miles in it and it hasn't broke once(its done 120k aswell)gets driven hard everyday,but i want to get rid of it because its boring:roll: ,cant comment on the mini's or GSi as i never use them...
So for me anyway just because a car is relible and well spec'd doesn't make owning it more pleasurable,spending weekends toying with the car i'm using i find more enjoyable than just getting in it everyday and checking the oil and water once a week!...

But anyone thinking of going french good lucklol lol lol

[draper]

but.......savage, your an asshole :thumb:

[savs_redtop]

Thats not very nice! but I know you think about Assholes alot;) maybe thats a complement coming from you.
