Has anyone else heard of this saying?

i have so many times now its unreal and i have witness it alot since owning a saxo.

first my central locking stopped working, then it randomly fixed it self aweek later.

rear drivers lights stopped working once then they randomly started again.

Had a knocking noice once and carried on driving it for a few weeks it fixed it self lol

i think saxo's have a fear of the hammer :geek: as soon as they see the hammer pull from your tool chest they panic

I'm pretty sure 'Saxo's that break themselves' is a much more common affliction lol :)

It happens so often though that everyday that I get in mine and its still driveable I say a silent prayer of thanks.

That's not a good thing.. that just means they're built dodgy and unreliable as fuck!

Typical Dub owner.

OJ - We all know they're a bit shit. I find it quite exciting to go oout to the car each day trying to find out whats broken. :y:

Or maybe I should just get out more.

I wouldn't say because the symptoms no longer exist the problem has 'fixed itself'

i.e the reason its not leaking oil anymore is proberly because it's got none in, or the reason your wheel bearings no longer knock is because there proberly turned to dust.

My Saxo never fixed itself the worthless bastard. If it did I would have been grateful that it stop going through 3 set's of drive shafts..

Well I can't imagine my saxo or any saxo fixing itself mechanically but the electrics are dodgy as fuck anyway so when they go, a good kick to the offending place and a lot of swearing usually works.

Slightest sign of aggression and it surrenders - typical french. ;)

Noo. That is a common misconception.

Just peel off the wrapper, and replace your air filter for the brie, put it in whole. Lasts for ages!

Also if you have some garlic, it's good to put a bulb or two in the engine oil.
