Things you shouldn't attempt on a Saxo

[pvts]

Just wondered if it would be worth putting up a sticky for people new to french cars with a list of things not to attempt.

Like changing a bulb where the force needed to clip it in breaks the reflector off

Just letting off steam really, what did they make these cars out of? And I wish I knew who serviced mine last :@

1) Don't attempt to buy one.

[dave_1]

1) Don't attempt to buy one.

fitting a manni allways pissed me off like,, about 2cm of travel on the spanner,,, ratchet spanners were purchased shortly after!!

[W103_A5H]

do not attempt to lower the torsion bar unless you have shares in WD40 :y:

[pvts]

My ratchet broke on the sump today, probably something to do with hammering the shit out of it. Who puts a bolt on with no washer?

[pvts]

Should be don't bother at all, get a refurbed one in the first place.... (Centre tube seized)

do not attempt to lower the torsion bar unless you have shares in WD40 :y:

trying to take the mk1 grill off, when theyve got stupid plastic bits round the washer bits so you cant get anything in there to hold them, and they just spin and spin and spin and spin :@

[devilsadvocate]

Don't assume the French used logic when they built it

[Stissy]

You know you have a saxo when your drive shaft are knocking......

You know you have a saxo when your heaters only work on 4

you know you have a saxo when you have mayo on the water cap.

you know you have a saxo when the torsion bar punch you in the face

you know you have a saxo when you gear stick is like a spoon in porridge

you know you have a saxo when your thrust bearning goes in the gearbox

But most of all you know you have a Saxo VTS, when they give a Type R`s a fright :)

P.s, before anyone has a go, i said give type r a fright NOT Beat them, so noo hissy fitting! lol!
