scarlett

that wissnae me in Carlisle.... but i am sure your right, have called an auto electrician whos gonna quote me on whats needed... might be getting new alloys tonite, so will get them all balanced up, especially as the 3 burst tyres have been on the front wheel.... and guess i am gonna end up searching for the other bits n pieces.... JOY!!!! it dont matter, i still LOVE her!!!!!!!

:evil: hey guys... thats me had Scarlett for just over 2 weeks and unfortunately the list of things wrong is growing everyday!!! (not that i expected her to be perfect). all the big stuff seems to be ok, so far, but its little niggly, annoying things that are wrong..... some things obviously need fixed before others... but heres a quick rundown anyway..... central locking, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt... when it doesnt i cant get into the boot cos it wont open with the key.... most annoying. sometimes have probs starting her, she has the push button ignition but the lights dont always come up on the dash to tell me when to hit the button, sometimes if u hit it anyway she starts, sometimes not. again, highly annoying.... internal electics seem to be in a mess, lots of lights on the dash dont work... neither does the cigarette lighter.... windsceen wipers are atrocious - is it true you can replace them with Lupo GTi ones???? have gone through 3 tyres in 2 and a half weeks, tho prob more to do with my driving????? lol drivers seat is falling apart, the catch to put the seat forward has broken off so no one can get in the back from my side, and the knob for adjusting the seat has also fallen off and doesnt appear to want to go back on..... wiring for the stereo is seriously dodgy... can only get 3 speakers working.... annoying.... and most importantly there appears to be no heating matrix in her, i can only presume its burst previously and had to be removed, the pipes that normally go in and out of the matrix are joined together with black tape under the bonnet......... quality!!!! would appreciate any advice on whether any of these faults is just something we need to put up with in C's or if anyone has had a similar prob how or where theyve got it fixed..... Ta Much!!! :evil:

hi!!!!! :evil: i just got my 2ltr as well ....

ahhhhh.... nice to know... ta much!!!!

tis ok... have already got a volunteer!!!!! dunno what to do bout the alloys tho, i like the idea of the fact she is completely original but i dont like them.....

no hot air coming out, plus there is no air at all on 1st and 2nd settings... the drive into work was fun this morn.... bbbbrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

hey guys... thanks for the compliments on my new Baby.... so far so good! have managed to find all the daft wee things that need fixed ie the heating!!! apart from that i am really pleased!!!

right - thats me about to switch off my pc and head into Glasgow to get Scarlett... yey!!! wish me luck and that we dont end up wrapped round a tree!!!!

thanks!!!!!!!

aint it great that there is a science to making our cars look pretty!!!! she is the glossy red(hence Scarlett) excuse my ignorance but i think its called Tornado Red????

oh... n dont worry... i wouldnt dream of driving through a car wash... !!!

:cry: oh.... i..... feel.... numbed.... :cry: poor wee C, am thinking tonite we'll just have a wee drive down the motorway home till we get to know each other a little better..... no point giving it all up on our first date...... LESS THAN 7 HOURS TO GO........ :D

ohhh... tell me more, what happened.... did the C get hurt? :cry:

thats a plan... pick up car, go long way to car wash... make her pretty... go to KFC n stare at her whilst eating.... then long way home via some deserted back roads.... u lot are geniuses!!!!!

i cant decide what to do first tonite... wash her and get her all pretty and shiney... drive about n get a feel for her.... or just park outside my house n stare at her!!!! its like xmas!!!!!

The Big Day Has Arrived.... in bout 8 hours time i will be at the garage picking up my new Baby (if u class a bright red 2ltr as a baby???)....... cant wait.... think i am gonna burst with excitement.... woooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooo!!........ :D
