A few familiar names on here!

Mines pretty standard - a 20vt - aside from a stainless back box. Although I have just uprated the coolant hoses, but I cant see them having a huge influence on the BHP output!

The coolant hose of death as it was once known has slain many a fccuker :nerner:

The artist formerly known as "Coolant Hose of Death" has seen a multi-million pound re-branding scheme to get more in touch with "Da Yoof" and is known simply as "CHOD"

<Da Yoof mode on> Just put a silly-con one on now tho bruv init?! A blue un! <Da Yoof mode off>

Infact, just in the process of replacing the rad and all the other hoses whilst my cracked manifold is being repaired. What a PITA of a job though!

We all love them but I can't think of any job you do on a coupe that is not a PITA
I remember changing a thermostat once and lost almost a gallon of blood through cuts,scrapes,bangs and all sorts
I think it's part of the appeal but don't get me started on those stupid fiat
clips you have to remove and replace with jubilees

Even filling them with fuel is a PITA.... Thirsty beggers that they are!

Didn't have too much of a problem when I did the thermostat but I might aswell have put my arm in a shredder when I changed the CHOD!

Got the hang of the hoseclips now though.... and you only have to butcher them once!

I drop in from time to time to see if there's any Coupe owners that need a bit of help, but don't want to use the Coupe forum

Also just put my son's Punto up for sale

Get yourself a members motors thread up and show it off

ps.....what does it mean when you start the beast and you get the illuminated "key" sign on the dash ?
Did not start it for a month or so and this came up......cleared after the next go but still curious mate.
Always a pleasure chatting to you.........unlike some I could mention

That's the keycode symbol - usually means that the keycode box hasn't picked up the transponder signal from the key - did the battery go flat while it was parked up?
