Around 10k miles without service , except broken clutch cable no problems at all, trip all over ireland and then to europe, and cinquy didn't dissapoint me

And don't worry, now it got all that new stuff-oils, filters, thermostat, blah blah..

If you have any chance try to get press passes. I went to the Frankfurt show on public days in 2005 and then Paris on press days on 2006. What a difference!! Much less people, you can sit in practically EVERY car on the show... and snacks and drinks for free (yes... the happy drinks too ).

clutch cable went before that longest trip-just have your spare new one in trunk with some tools, and you will be fine..I was doing it for the first time and it takes me less than 1hour

For the trip I had tools, next one clutch cable, alternator belt, fuses, oil, anything, but I didn't need any of them

How much can you fit in your little car

clutch cables go pretty regulary on cinq's, daft, but as you said if you can change one/carry a spare you won't have any other real problems with them, just consumables.


but yeah! top marks on filling that cinq to the roof

That is one packed cinq!

whenever i've fixed a cinq clutch cable all i've done is pushed the pin back in to the link in the passenger side footwell. it can come out easily, so bending it is a permanent fix.
