Thanks James, its not burning a lot no, to be honest I really can't be doing with the hassle as I don't have the cash to try and fix it on the off chance it'll be ok and my work place is moving from 4.5 miles from my home to 12 miles away next monday so time isn't on my side! still, could be worse, could be a cinquicento!

Hi, I am from Corby (yeah original username..) The emissions was blue smoke, I don't rev the car much as I try to save petrol but in the MOT they rev it up and it kicked out quite a lot of smoke. The garage said they think probably valve stems, and would be more cost efficient to put a different engine in. I don't have any space here sadly, but it is MOT til the 31st May so someone could drive it away. If you're interested I'll put the full list of failure up, and a description of the car. The mechanic said that he thought it would pass as he drove it into the garage as 'its a nice little driver'.

The lupo failed today, on a few points but mainly emissions so time for it to go. My question is, will I get the most for it on something like ebay to someone who would drop a new engine in or down the breakers/ p/ex for a newer motor? thanks

Sorted the service message thanks to a colleague.

thanks again for your help guys, I was thinking £800, so gonna fix the window handles and see if I can get something done about the paint and airbag light and then try out the handy classified section :-)

oh I'm in corby, Northants, if anyone is interested in the car

thanks guys; in relation to the oil service thing, it flashes 'oil service' for a mile or so where the trip meter is, then the trip meter re-appears for the duration of the journey, with 'service interval' to the left of it. The oil level is fine, which I check weekly.

thanks!

hello lads and ladesses, now its spring, I am thinking of getting back onto 2 wheels, but need to sell the Lupo to facilitate this: so whats it worth? T reg, 131000 miles, great runner, changed oil and plugs etc when i got it in sept. Mot to april, tax til about june Black with a prob (a previous owner splashed paint up it and tried to scrub it off........), could be re-sprayed but it don't bother me, (passenger door and rear flank) 1.4S oil service light on, but has been serviced, and airbag light on, but that was on when I bought it . . . . .both window winders in my doornet... alloy wheels, never let me down, started first time even yesterday in -14c.

had a mate service the car; new oil/plugs/air and oil filter, topped tank up and put reddex in and it virtually cured it.

1st thing in the am, no probs at all just starts up lovely and we're off!

thanks Defcon5
