Would be nice to see some Lupos come to the meet guys and girls. Hope to see you there!

Who ever designed the rear engine mounts on the lupo needs shooting in the face! 2 hours to get the box off , 4 to get it back on :/ Its its not fouling on the subframe where the wishbone connects its on the driveshaft flange/cup. After taking the gb off, drained inspected. The release bearing shaft was completely fubbared, fortunately got one from gsf for 3 quid.Hopefully changing the clutch, fluid, release bearing and shaft should see the problem solved Plus my gf borrowed my car for the local shop, the clutch cable snapped as she pulled up at home

Yeah but now shes lost 4th gear :/ guna wip the box off tomorrow morning see if i can get all the gears while its off inspect the clutch etc and fill the box with some fluid. Shall just have to see how it goes

Fair enough, hopefully changing the lot will fix it. I'm praying its nothing to do with the pedalbox malarky

My gf's car is having the same issue with the clutch being heavy, being hard to put into 1st gear and making the whilsling/wining when engaged driving. I'm thinking its either the release bearing or the actual clutch plate. I'm under the assumption that 1.4 sports have hydo clutches right?

Hi guys, I need to take out the fan switch out of the radiator of my girlfriends lupo sport. Can you tell me what size the spanner/socket is needed to get this out as her dad seems to think its a 30mm deep socket but this doesnt sound right at all and not having it in my hand to measure i'm abit stumped.
