Thank you I will do it Poor larry having me fiddling about with him :lol:

What are the chances of me cocking it up and the airbag going off in my face? (I am not a total numpty good with bikes just not experienced with cars)sod it I will order the bit and let you know how it goes

How hard is it to change the stalk? mine has gone a bit stiff and clunky & wipers only seem to have one speed PS plain 1.4 lupo (not sport) year 2000

I used to hate my lupo with a vengeance secretly hoping that someone would steal the horrid little thing.... However after a new clutch and gearbox I love it The clutch is lighter than air (before you had to weight train to use it) and selecting a gear is a pleasure rather than a fight. So I take it all back Lupos rock :wub: He is still known as Larry the lovely person for making me poor

Mine has been doing this for ages, It was suggested to me last night to replace the fuel pump relay.... And I just thought Larry the lovely person had either a good sense of humour or was trying to kill me lol

Thank you James your thread is very helpful as is 99% of the forum

Thanks for this guys mine is more bubbly than an aero, I will give it a go this/next weekend as it driving me nuts. I will keep quiet about my front end having been re sprayed (larry was reversed into by a bin lorry with previous owners)

Naaa bikes are easy.. I can have an engine out of a 1098 in under an hour

Cars are not really my thing its a way of getting from A-B whild warm & dry.. Give me a modern sports bike and I could fix the bloomin thing myself lol

I dunno its just a plain old 1.4 Lupo

My last car was a £500 Clio and it never gave me a spot of bother till it died... I foolishly thought VW they are well made & never have problems Ha Ha more fool me Do still love the little git though

Larry the lovely person

I have had my Lupo for all of 5 months and in that time I have had to replace. Drivers window motor, pedal box, clutch cable & now my central locking motor has broken added to that a recent cam belt service and the car has cost me as much in repairs as it did to buy.. Please tell me I have had all the bad luck that a lupo can have and from now on it will be ok Should I have bought a Clio???

I have found a VW dealer (Vindis st Ives) who out of five dealers phoned are the only ones to admit that there is a problem with them and are applying to VW for goodwill for me ... All the others denied everything So he goes in on the 17th I have asked for the clutch cable to be changed at the same time I think the clutch plates are ok but to change gear I now have to press to the floor and then some I am looking forward to having a proper Lupo Thanks again Mary x

Wish me luck, my pedal box has just gone on my 2000 1.4s its only done 55 thousand miles so I am hoping they will offer at least some good will Vindis St Ives are applying for goodwill from VW for me..They are fantastic and didn't need any prompting unlike every other VW garage in the Peterborough area who denied any memo or indeed that there was a problem in the first place So Vindis St Ives I salute you
