GTIChris Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Thats absolutely gutting !!!! Don't know if you know but there is an auto electritian at the old work shops at the top of coleshill road in ansley common.Took one of mine there a few years ago and they were quite resonable,don't know if it's the same guy but worth a shot.Hope you get it sorted soon.

Amber_Nunny Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Thanks for all of the replies!Luckily my neighbour is an auto electrician. He had a look earlier today and said he could easily repair it for me as long as I get hold of a new fuse box. So it looks like its only going to cost me about £40 plus a fuse box which is a massive relief!I'm split of what I should do with Henry though... Obviously he's going to get fixed but I don't know if I want to keep him anymore.I know I'll be worried about something going wrong again but I spent sooo much time and energy trying to get him to look nice so I don't know what to do.I'm hoping that when he's fixed and the boyfriend finishes his wheels that maybe I'll want him again...I think I need some other people's opinions.On a more positive note, some little updates...The material for covering the headlining arrived this weekI have also aquired an engine cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 When you bought this in the state you did you shoulda really Anticipated some issues.id get the Auto electritian to give the car a Good once over and to remove any Unnecssary Aftermarket Wiring.&you mayaswell keep it, you wont make much money back from what you have spent (I can only assume)plus, One less thing to go wrong!

Brad1992 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 i love my lupo, and the day after i had it my lupo broke and found out it hadn't been serviced in forever and was running on no oil, after that the suspension blew from abuse from previous owners, i've since changed the linkage bushes as they threw out, a gearbox and clutch + have yet to fix the exhaust which is also broken! I'm still happy with it, sort the problems as then you'll see it and think corr what a car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber_Nunny Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Thanks for all the comments I know I won't be able to let Henry go as I've put so much time into him and its still an unfinished project so ill just have to deal with my fears!I'm hoping that the wiring will be repaired this weekend, also while he's off the road he's being treated to a new wheel bearing which was picked up in the MOT.There's still loads of things to do but the main thing is getting him back up and running ASAP! After that it'll be back to the nice finishing touches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
