Hi all, I joined the forum recently and posted an introduction on the newbie section.
Ive read all the posts here on the Fiorino / Qubo and I must say I found them very helpful. Ive had my Fiorino for a week now and so far Im very happy with my purchase. Its a 2010 75bhp 1.3 mj. 88000 miles on it. The previous owner told me he had the clutch done at 77000 miles and also replaced the two front struts. Other than that he had no problems at all, and the only reason he sold it was because he got a new job, with a company van.
My Fiorino seems to be a basic model, it dosent have a usb or a blue & me. It does have the heated electric mirrors and the elec windows.
So far according to the computer I'm averaging 50.9 mpg. I travel roughly 50 miles a day to and from work, mixed speeds between 40 - 70 mph. I dont think theres a DPF fitted, im pretty sure its the eur 5 engine. Ill post a few pics soon.
Thanks again to all the posters for the helpful information :)
 
On the (general) subject of Information, can anyone supply me with a part number for the lower steering column shroud which has the cut out for the cruise control stalk please? I've finally sourced one (3-stalk module) at less than the UK prices from a dealer (close to £200) from a supplier in Germany.

More info if anyone has it...what's the steering wheel nut/bolt size please? Conflicting info in a couple of searches suggest various things but it could be a 40mm torx? Furthermore, popping off the horn/airbag unit in the wheel centre may be released by insertion of two 'pins' in to the holes behind/under the steering wheel. Any clues as to the correct diameter?

On economy, I did the trip from Scunthorpe to Devon (Exmouth) last weekend and the shown average mpg was c 65mpg at speeds between 55-65 which was fine to do with the heavier traffic. Indicated range was quite a good bit over the official suggested 660 miles (1000km) though I never reach that in real terms. Best ever tankful was about 530 miles.

Thanks in advance for the info :)
