Just had a huge bacon butty (L14 MNP Breakfast of champions!)
About to commence coffe no3.
Off to my sisters to see the kids and go out to see her Horses and help my youngest Niece with some show jumping hints. (Might jump on my sisters horse and have a play with some fences)
Other than that... Might pop in and see the other side of the family with Lola.
I've got a list of jobs to do on the Seicento, but work tomorrow through til Thursday, so it's not getting done any time soon...
Wouldn't be out there in that anyway..
..not for a Fiat..
Of course if it was a Samba Rallye or Allegro Equipe standing in the yard......!
You know's it Lee! lol
88SER, I also have a Seicento. What's wrong with yours? lol
Ditto. Although we are indoors so i can stomach some nova time..Quote:

Just cosmetic stuff really, few scuffs, etc that I want sorting before the salt brigade come out to play..Quote:

I've been up most of the morning as I couldn't sleep, got a couple hours sleep then got up at quarter to nine, been waiting since half nine for a certain someone to give me a tow so I can strip the red Nova.
I think I have a good one *touch wood!* lolQuote:

Do you get the ECU light randomly coming on? Apparently it is linked to a dodgy sensor(s), o2 etc. I thought it wanted a rap battle at first as it looks like a mic. lol
They're meant to be restricted on power when that happens. Mine is fine though. lol
You rolling a Sporting? You can't knock them for go-kart handling, Smart car like parking and MPG though!
Mines in the rents garage, but i want to sort my roof lining so need it outside really.Quote:

Posh. lol S plate Sporting here. Does the job for me though. What MPG are you getting out of curiosity?Quote:

There's a lot of misleading info on that forum about the transponder chip losing the code so the ECU doesn't recognise it. That's not your issue though, and the 'key code' light stays on on the dash if it doesn't recognise the chip anyway.
I will take a look on the forum too, because I'm sure in amongst all of the ****e I read something that sounded like your problem.
Any idea if the washer pumps are the same on a Punto or anything? I cleaned up the terminals and got one working, but the other doesn't want to know. The main bod of them (solid unpainted steel) was falling off in great chunks too. lol
I used to like my mates Pineapple mk3 Astra Sport. Nice colour.
Ha.. It's just a Sporting with a few different badges and a serial number stuck inside the door..Quote:

Yes, spins but doesn't fire..
Thought maybe ignition switch at first but it has only happened twice..
I'm not familiar with the washer pumps, sorry, chances are that they may be the same...
Yeah I know, but they look better. Although as far as these things go I prefer the pre-facelifts. lol
Answer my MPG question please :d
lol what a convo(!)
I will be tring to get my Polo running, I think the coil amp has died!
I might have a play with either the XR250 or maybe the Nova... Undecided!
Don't pay a lot of attention to MPG..Quote:

I live pretty close to work so its not a huge milage (I put 1000) miles on my Tigra Bermuda in 2 and a half years)..
So, has to be over 45 MPG at a guess..
Oh and I agree, the Cinques look way cooler than the Seis..
I assume that's what you meant...
:thumb: I think I get around 40.
It's crying out for a service though. The air filter is black, lol
I was kind enough to refill it's empty header tank and address the flickering oil light the other day. They are CRAP for pouring oil into. That baffle plate thing slows the process right down. lol
Unlikely I guess, but drop me a PM if you see any in the scrappers? I forgot I need an O/S electric window reg. :thumb:
/Fiat topic over. lol
Will keep an eye out..Quote:

I don't want another. lol Cheers.
I wish I had the room to fit a bike engine in one. It would have to be an 'S' with pink seat covers and powered by fairydust crap everywhere. For the ultimate 'borrowed your lasses car' sleeper.
Right, pre-pantomime lunch...
"Oh no it isn't!"....
Etc...
Can't wait :-(

At the pantomime...

This afternoon, i have no plans. :thumb:
