Cinquecento Piccolo Blu

[blu73]

no thats right... thats what i have

The SPAX PSX adjustable suspension kit contains four 28 stage rate adjustable dampers which are matched to uprated chrome silicon springs that provide a dramatic improvement over standard specification springs. The 28 stage adjustment allows the driver to tune the suspension more precisely than ever before.

The damping adjustments can be carried out on the car for quick, easy and precise tuning of suspension settings

So how come it ended up ontop of a Picasso?

Did you own it when it was condemned?

 

[panda panda]

I wasn't the one who scrapped it

I traded it in after it had been broken into and the stereo swiped, seats broken off the runners. The seats didn't get fixed so I sold it to a local dealer for 3/400 quid about 7 years ago.
I was using "privilege" (an off shoot of Direct Line) and the service I got was terrible. Car was locked in a secure compound for a month without any repairs been undertaken, the policy included courtesy car didn't turn up until I shouted about it, Just Car Clinic made an abysmal job of it (not fixing seats onto runners, fitting new stereo). By the time I got the car back I was really fed up and didn't feel safe leaving it parked on the road anymore.

107k at the moment. I think ill ask the old owner if he did one, I think he will have done. The belt does need tightening though as it is a little squealey.

 

[blu73]

thats more likely the aux belt or the cambelt tensioner, hard to say without hearing it... Sounds like a big task doing a cambelt but it really isn't. I can come help you probably if you want someone to hold your hand doing that. I'm booked to do Fraz's sei again this weekend though, then its meet the next weekend so would have to be in a few weeks.

But yeah ask mr winrow when it was last done and if he did the tensioner & water pump at same time if he did swap it.
