Thanks mate I'll check that first, just got the reversing lights working! Broken wire on the switch to the gearbox!! Quite a bit not working right with this lupo in the 6 weeks since the previous owner had it mot'd.....

Thanks for the replys guys, first gear is non selectable!! When you think your selecting 1st its going into 3rd!! No its not me as ive had 3 people try this week and it does the same with them, there is nothing between reverse and 3rd, you cant move the gearstick forward at all? Like hitting a brick wall, so at the moment im pulling away in 2nd! Any idea why 1st is not selectabe, cant see it falling out the box lol ;-)

Hi, its in fast yellow! ;-) first job is sorting first gear ( non existing) and getting rid of the 14 mk1 golf steel wheels!!

Thanks for the reply, quite had to explain, when you pull off in first you really have to rev it hard and dip the clutch in and out to get it to move, feels like its bogging down 10mph max! Quite scary pulling out at a junction, 2nd is slightly better and rest of the gears normal and quite quick for a 1.0, brakes are all free so no binding and its realy only 1st pulling away, just wondered if 1st was fubar even though there are no nasty noises or grinding!

Hi, only just joined the forum as i have just purchased my first vee dub, 1.0 lupo, which is great, starts first time and drive great but first gear pulling away is very slow and sluggish, 2nd gear is slightly better and 3rd 4th 5th are perfect, had her upto 90 ( private road ;-)) and no warning lights so can't understand why 1st is so sluggish, anyone have any ideas?

Hi all, just thought I'd say hi, just bought my 1st car, 1.0 lupo of the 2000 vintage but hay we all have to start somewhere :-)
