After finally plucking up the courage to pick a car with a 6 speed gear box I finally bought my new 1.4 t-jet 150 version.
First thoughts? It's pretty thirsty! Although that probably has something to do with the wide grin I have on my face everytime I go out driving...
One or two things needing done to it. Rear wiper doesn't work, at all. Not sure if it is a loose connection, wiper motor or some dodgy electrics where the cables run between the body and boot. Happened with my Grande Punto.
Not sure if it's related but both rear light clusters mist up when cold/raining conditions.
When turning the key I usually turn to MAR (electrics) then wait for all the lights to go out then star the engine. Looks like the previous owner never done this as if you turn it to MAR then let go of the key and wait then try to start it they key jams and you have to turn it off and try again. It works when I hold onto the key and wait for the lights on the dashboard to go out though... weird.
The gear lever gaiter needs changed soon along with the top of the steering wheel trim.
The interior light fitting above the driver/passenger is loose, just some material glue shold do the trick.
Picking out all the small things here but the car is truly amazing and I can't wait to start racking up some miles on my new baby! Need to thing of a name soon....
