Mine's more a stealth vehicle - I've replaced the suspension but it's still wearing the stock 15" rims. Also no leather which would be nice... Oh and the DI cassette threw in the towel yesterday - I borrowed another last night started up straight away, put mine back in - nothing. Have to find a replacement now. A few signs leading up to this - a 'stutter' that lasted around 5-10s last week whilst doing a steady 60ish i.e. no load or boost. Then after a couple of short trips (petrol then chinese take-away) Weds night, it (very unusually) didn't start first time, but took about 5 attempts before starting with a rough idle that settled - drove home from the chinese take-away normally. Next day - nothing :-( > I'll keep looking - we need a replacement for our Fiat Punto Sporting :) > > Paul And I'm still looking for a c900 to replace the Micra... Have you taken up leaving the keys in Orca as I suggested ;-) AndyH '94 9000 CDE
