sluggish with a blowing noise ,sounds like a split in the boost pipe out of the turbo.

Used it in a corsa that was getting water in the oil ,did the job dont know how long it lasted as no longer have the car.

Had an 01 110 with 130000+ on the clock and a `loose` engine ,very pleased with it 50mpg and fast ,have now upgraded to an 03 rapier 90 with 63000 on the clock ,expected it to be slower and see on paper the 90 developes its torque a little higher up the rev range ,but have noticed it seems quite fla...

Available from halfords ,own brand around £9.00 per litre oil co branded slightly dearer .

You sure could hear it ,sounded like someone turning a bent bar in a lathe with a blunt tool,lucky it didnt do more damage ,at worst could have shattered the housing the scores are up to 5mm deep ,so be warned ignore strange vibrations and clutch noises at your peril,Deterioration was sudden ,went f...

Having got a new clutch and quiet starter `pugsley` my 110 406 has a new trick ,occasionaly the low brake fluid message shows even though its full ,is this as simple as a faulty sensor or another odd ball fault ?

Sounds like a wheel bearing ,does it get louder on fast bends , eg loud on a rh its a ns bearing and vice versa ,a rear bearing will change sound if you pull on the handbrake slightly.

If it went bang chances are somethings broken,as the release arm is forward the bearing must have pulled away from the clutch cover ,either the retainer clip has broken or the bearings broke up ,either way its gonna be a gearbox out job !

PIcs for this have been posted in the misc album.

Spent last sunday fitting the kit ,not a hard job just so many bits to take off ,turbo pipes ,gear linkage ,front subframe and everything fixed to it ,hardest bit refitting the box singlehanded whilst trying to ballance it on a jack,not a task for the feeble! its bloody heavy ,when fitting the flywh...

:D Lived with the noisey starter for a week , all sources said there are no teeth variations so took it out today ,nothing serious visible just a little burring on the teeth so got a dremmel with a mini grinding bit and gave them all a good polish up,washed out the pinion with brake cleaner and put ...

Just fitted a new clutch and solid flywheel kit to my 110,works a treat except starter does not like new ring gear, all was well before but now grates first try and when it does engage is very noisey .i know these cars use a bosch or valeo starter ,i have valeo anyone know if the number of teeth on ...

:cry: Things were going great with `pugsley`my newley aquired 110 quiet ,comfy ,quick by diesel standards and 50mpg ,a revelation compared to the 520i @22 mpg ,however it coldnt last and on sunday i noticed a metallic scraping noise after changing up and accelerating ,i suspected the common crank pu...

Yes i was suprised ,i have just sold a bmw 520i se and swapped the insurance over to my hdi 110 only to be asked for an extra £50 for the remaining 6 months cover,despite my protests to the indian call centre ,they say its because the pug is newer and worth more performance didnt seem to come into i...
