HOGGERS Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 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.

HOGGERS Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 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??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOGGERS Posted February 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Managed to clean the car today and got nice close up of one of the newly refurbed wheels. Have to say I'm glad I went with the colour I did [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The_Judge_ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGGERS Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 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!

rasa Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 On 22/12/2015 at 09:13, HOGGERS said: 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??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Judge_ Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The_Judge_ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
