Not a huge update but I was about the remove the speedo to get to what I thought was the broken mileage pin - I thought I'd give it one last try ... Pull it out and twisted it and to my surprise it clicked back out! I can now reset my trip computer. Small things and all that [emoji23]

Help Needed. The car went in for a wheel refurb before Xmas but one of the rear wheels was cracked. Found one on gumtree and got it sent direct to wheel specialist ... Only to be told that was also cracked. Found another on eBay but exactly the same problem!

Does anyone have a crack free rear MV1 alloy they can sell me???

Not a huge or exciting update but an update nevertheless.

The metal on the passenger side wiper had come through and was scraping the screen and were well over due a replacement. Went to Halfords and a set of 'normal' Halfords wipers were £27 so I paid another £10 and got a set of Bosch aero wipers. Much better looks and clear the screen without a horrible judder!

This is now up for sale as I'm picking my new car up on Monday.

I bought this in November 2015 when it was on 150k.

Since then I have have covered 17k faultless miles!

As soon as I bought it I got it serviced, MOT'd at a cost of £550 Since then I have spent a small fortune on & the following:

Alloys refurbished at the Fareham Wheel Specialist £300

Genuine Centre Wheel Caps £35

Genuine M Sport Wheel Badges £10

Steering wheel refurbished £150

Lowered 30mm on Eibach Pro Kit Springs £120

New front bumper moulds £45

New Headlight Lenses £55

Smoked Side Repeaters £25

Smoked Side Indicators £20

New Badges Front & Back £25

Interior & Exterior LED's £25

Black Kidney Grille £25

Boot Mat £20

It's just had another £312 spent on a Service, Engine Decontamination Treatment an MOT which expires in November 2017.

The car is in excellent condition for a car that's now 16 years old. Wheels were refurbed a year ago and have picked up a few curb marks. The paint work is almost dent free but does have the usual rust over the arches. I'm averaging 37 mpg / £70 does about 450 miles

If anyone is interred please message me

cars for sale have to have a price on them,its in the rules me thinks..

 

Dropped the car off this morning at the wheel specialist and was told one of the rear alloys was cracked in two places so they wouldn't be able to repair and I was advised I put the spare on. Not really an option as I need to drive a lot over Xmas and don't fancy doing it on a spare. Not ideal and hope they can seal it ok but I've asked for them to put the original back on until I can find a replacement. Never had any problems with it letting out air so hopefully should be ok.

 

 

 

Long shot but anyone got a spare rear mv1 up for sale???

I think I remember hearing the Fuel Efficiency on these is amazing, and ofcourse Citroen = luxorious suspension. Enjoy dude, but I'm sure you'll miss the E46!

My mate bought my car so il still see it regularly!

Yes, fuel is very good. Over 250 miles on way home and averaged 55mpg. Done 300miles and still got over half a tank left. Suspension is also very smooth with it being hydro active
