  1. Don’t get down about it. im £1500 into a 16 year old 1.7 diesel lupo ha ha. Don’t do it for the money. Do it for the love of it. keep it and use it as it’s intended. Luckily for me mine is a third car but does all the shitty jobs, supermarket runs, commute, tip, dog walks the lot. Brilliant car
  2. Yeah potentially but I hate to have multiple keys for 1 car. I want to keep it as original as possible. the rebuild didn’t work so something tells me it’s the drivers side lock mechanism instead. I need to investigate when I get more time. This only took me around 30 mins to sort out.
  3. UPDATE: drivers door lock started playing up until it would no longer open the door. unlocks and locks fine. Just can’t open it. tried a cheap lock barrel replacement kit of eBay and that didn’t fix it. make sure you check the parts you buy or this might happen. See image. oh well looks like I’ll have to strip the door down and investigate.
  4. just incase anyone uses that ebay link. i checked the pieces before reassembly and as you can see , the new aftermarket piece is shorter - not sure i wanted that - so rebuilt with the new spring - but didnt do me any good. lock is still the same so back to the drawing board
  5. Now to sort the sun roof and coolant sensor haha!
  6. Right. ordered this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112352826186 fingers crossed
  7. So I need a rebuild kit thing ? Got a link mate
  8. or are you referring to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT3rfmQDLxQ
  9. YEAH what i mean is.. can i not just get a new lock like the one that was listed above.. and bolt in - simple swap out
  10. central locking works yeah but cant open the door.. can i just buy a new unit to replace it all rather than faffing about. ? thanks
  11. will this fix a door lock that does open my drivers door ? the key unlocks and locks but cant open the door i can open the door from the inside tho
  12. funny thing is.. i have an issue with my sunroof.. when the car is in accessory mode.. the sunroof works... as soon as i start the engine... it doesnt work.. how weird
  13. i might have one front an old boot lid i did a swap on... are you still in need? PM me
  14. wouldnt touch it with a 6 foot stick.
  15. UPDATE: Nothing much to report. Still working like a trooper. Lent my brother the car to get him out of his car trouble for 2 weeks, he loved the fuel economy. but not much else haha! cheeky sod! nice to have it back on my drive now. Need to fit the rear brake drums sometime haha! still got the brand new ones in the garage! FFS.. Onwards!!
  16. UPDATE: ok - Luckily Larry didnt make it for sale.. i decided to sell my motorbike instead and so that went last week. That means Larry will be here to stay for the foreseeable future. Nothing to comment about the car. still working perfectly.. so just need some tarting up i feel. sort the exterior out a little! Heres to another year with the little blue beast
  17. i had mine done by a specialist cambelt and aux belt inc labour was just lower than £300 i think. seems a fair price since i was going to look at DIY but couldnt fathom it
  18. UPDATE: It is with regret that Larry will be going up for sale. WIth a few large bills coming in for my motorbike, and other car, i need the money - this beauty is just sat alone waiting for its next drive since i work from home and have access to 3 cars. I will create a proper full sale post on the weekend IF the weather is nice, but this thread gives a good representation of its life so far. More details to follow. if anyone wants to PM me about the car then thats fine. As always thanks
  19. Yeah I love it to bits. Hasn’t moved in a week and that’s a long time for me and my cars. I have no urge to go to pubs,restaurants etc we have three cars between me and the wife so could manage on 1 tbh. we’ll see how the rest of the year plays out. I have an urge for an mx5 😉
  20. UPDATE: Another 4 weeks has passed. Nothing new to report. Need to find time to fit the rear brakes still... With myself still working at home, and the wife now at home, the little lupo isnt get as much use as it once was Not sure whether its time to sell..
  21. Nothing an engine rebuild can’t sort out.
