jimmymac101 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Evening all, my girlfriend has suspected gearbox failure on her 2000 1.0e lupo although it could be a dodgy fitted clutch! She can't be bothered to spend out on a gearbox she's just insured on mine for £50 now So before I was to stick it in my friend yard and break it for parts would anyone be interested in buying it hole as a project/ fixer upper for £700 1.0e lupo X reg Dark greenMOT until July Tax runs out end March but can put 6months on for right price Between 85-88k miles Part service history New clutch fitted professionally 6months ago New front pads and disks in last 6months Few bad points :Dent in front wing ( replacement soured waiting to go on) Boot cable snapped And gearbox issue as stated above ( drives in 1st 2nd and 5th perfectly ) Engine runs sweet as a nut and we have never had any problems with the car at all up til now, she's owned the car for the last 3years and passed the last mot with no advisoriesDon't have any pictures at the moment will grab some on the weekend or can grab some if desperately needed Hope I'm not breaking forum rules by sticking this up but just sticking the idea out there Cheers James Pm me for more info Location weston super mareURL=http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/jimmymac92/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsc17a2b04.jpg.html] Edited February 14, 2014 by jimmymac101 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zeldoz Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 As above. My Mrs's needs a first car and a slammed lupo on BBS's would've been the dogs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Sick of seeing all these lupos... They are a car that was designed to be simple city motoring at its very best. They don't handle, they don't go fast, there not safe, there not reliable or easy to work on, they look like a Frog. All I ever see is them slammed on the absolute floor so they drive even worse then they did before. Or in most cases completely undriveable... Just Weigh it in and do us all a favour... Rant Over Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Socks I hate them to, it's been a perfect first car for her and has had no problems at all til now, it's completely standard and untouched price is not set at £700 just a stating point Weighing it in is an option but it's worth more in parts and she wants to buy my ignis so I can become a starleteer again ;) James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) As above. My Mrs's needs a first car and a slammed lupo on BBS's would've been the dogs! come buy this fix it up and then slam it for her If younwere closer i would have really considered this glasgow is a fair distance from me unfortunately hiring someone to pick it up isn't cheap either james Edited February 13, 2014 by jimmymac101 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimmymac101 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Be to fair they are reliable, 85-88K miles and no problems til now without this gearbox ( most likely clutch ) problem it would go on for many many miles more I've seen lupos with 150k + James Edited February 13, 2014 by jimmymac101 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kavan-k Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yeah the 1l in them isnt really a problem! Parts are cheap too, not a bad wee car tbh! Green cars are bad luck in our family but haha. Surely a gearbox wont be dear? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 its the cost of the gearbox and then fitting......... all adds up shes wanted to buy mine for a while so this has just made her go ' im not splashing out on it, scrap or sell so i can have yours ' but no it shouldn't cost someone alot with the right knowledge and space to fix it, im almost sure its a dodgy fitted clutch but she wont pay for anyone for refit the clutch cost almost £300 to have it done last time :/ but then i don't know any mechanics who offer discount lol james Quote Link to post Share on other sites
