  1. True. Very odd though - i've started it several times (from cold too) with someone checking the exhaust and nothing at all. It has at some point pumped some sooty deposits towards the floor - can the catalytic converter get clogged?
  2. Weird, its not done it since and seems to be driving great (altho the temp guage is still dicking about) but no smoke whatsoever. I had an oil/filter change done at quickfit recently - is it possible theyve overfilled it?
  3. Hmm not looking good then. Any idea what would cause the temp guage to stick?
  4. Took the lupo on a run yesterday for about 2 hours, now, on the way back she started to pump out blue smoke in particular when accelerating. I've had the car a couple of months now with no issues - i use it daily but its a very short journey. Anyways when i got home it indeed was pumping out blue smoke when i use the throttle. She's not overheated and the temp guage usually sits in the centre although yesterday it never moved off zero. Started it this morning and the smoke was the usual whiteish colour you get on startup on a cool morning. The only thing i've done different is used higher octane fuel on a couple of occassions. Its a 16v 1.4, Any ideas
  5. Thanks guys - i didnt want to risk breaking it!
  6. Apologies for what is probably a really stupid question but can anyone advise how the parking bulbs are changed on the lupo? I can just about get my hand on the fitting but it wont budge and i dont want to pull too hard for fear of breaking the unit. Are they supposed to just pull straight back?
  7. The drivers side switch will operate the drivers window but the passenger butten and the passenger side switch wont work.
  8. Thx mattarosa, I'll try resetting them - the passenger side is stuck closed though.
  9. Hi all Just bought a blue t reg lupo 1.4s with 107k on the clock, There's only a couple of issues being that the passenger side window doesnt work although you can hear it clicking and the drivers side stops when going halfway up. Anyone advise what the problems likely to be - switches?regulator? Also the front indicator panel has chipped so needs replacing so is it easy to do this? And lastly, i'm going to touch up the chips and paint but what is the correct blue for it?helios?
