madmanncfc Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 And just like that its fixed.Decided to get some new oil/filter from work. Degreased the engine bay checked the spark plugs, all ok, checked the pistons, all ok, replaced the oil and it fired up fine.Then found the oil pressure switch pissing oil everywhere so thats being replaced and it should be good to go again.

Joti Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 That's cool - at least you're not selling up like lots of others Glad to hear it, but yeah it makes sense.... Start a thread for the moped then - has to be done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanncfc Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Theres a thread here mate http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=89453And i present to you the culprit:Replaced it and the cars running great again It also allows me to give some adviceIf you see an oil light stop right then.

madmanncfc Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Well a decision has been made regarding the future of the car.Im still buying the house which is taking longer than expected so ive had a chat with the missus about cars and weve decided to get rid of her fiesta and shes going to have the lupo.Good news is i can keep the lupo Bad news is she wont have it unless its standard Today was its last day of insured status so i started standardizing.Then immediately found a problem. Went to take the coilovers off only to discover the person who did the tracking used a buzz gun on the bolts and i cant get the bloody things off. Ive broken 3 sockets and two ratchets today so im pretty pissed off. Ive got 3 bolts undone so just one more to go And the car is currently like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
