About 730kg it seems - its got nice seats, sunroof, leccy windows etc and an OK CD radio .... Its quieter than the S so all good. If it lasts 4 months its paid for itself

 

I'd imagine it quite fun, its a sicento is it not?, not a cinquento.

I nearly got one for my GF, but didn't like the reliability of them and the fact she had just passed her test i don't it woulf fair well in a crash. I think it was around the 900 mark.

 

If you can get a cheap a2, they are excellent.

 

20 miles done, cooling fan not working .... new fuse and some WD40 in the fan bearings ( seized solid) and all is well. Brakes are shit ( no assistance) , tyres have no grip, the handling is rollerskate and the engine is revvy and willing - in short, it's a royal laugh to drive!

Even has an Alpine CD/Tuner and some upgraded Alpine speakers.

Off to price up some all season tyres for it but other than a good valet - that's it.

 

20 miles in and the cooling system breaks. I shall bookmark this thread ;-)

 

Opposite end of the scale for my daily/winter hack...................

The s2000 is my summer car, so when the bad weather gets here this comes out



It's also awesome at doing everything the s2000 can't! Towing, pulling, throwing crap in etc etc! I will probably never sell it!

 

Ha - its been stood for getting on 6 months, hence the 20 mile run around just to see what fell off etc Fixed the leaking sunroof, the O rings in the rear clamp through the glass had dried - silicon grease and all is dry. Valet next

 

has it got wet yet?

that usually produces a few interesting electrical faults

like the wipers coming on when you brake

that kind of thing

 

I have been puddle hopping most of the afternoon trying to induce exactly that kind of behaviour - so far - nothing untoward. Oil change and filter done, coolant topped up, cleaned the air filter out.

Chap before me fitted new radiator, new rear brake cables and cylinders, new alternator and a new exhaust.

 

sounds like you've done all the right things

I imagine all the ancillaries are accessible which has to help

and if most of them have been replaced, with a bit of luck you will be ok

where will you get parts from - Eurocarparts?

I've used them for parts for beaters before without any problems
