Im trying to work up my posts so i can get at the for sale section :D

[ForteChris]

for the right price definatly worth it if u can weld but might need new driveshafts

[tomw1123]

But i am new and genuinly interested in a saxo :)

[tomw1123]

Why driveshafts? I just completed my motor vehicle level 2 qualification and going back for level 3 in september. Just a bit about me there lol

[ForteChris]

it says thats theres a knocking when turning and that happened on mine which was the driveshaft but could be the cv joint aswell

[Scorgie01]

Could be the cause of the clunking from the front. Especially as its said to be clunking sometimes when steering.

It says bush there in the ad.. But what bush would cause a clunking in the steering? :/

[Scorgie01]

Could possibly be referring to the strut top mount bearing?

[tomw1123]

I dont want to have to change that, I helped a friend do his on his gti6 and it took us ages :(

[Scorgie01]

Hahaha The car would definitely be worth a look. Then you can see exactly what is causing the clunking

[tomw1123]

Yes i plan to buy it as long as my insurance quote me something reasonable.. Annoying thing is i learnt to drive in a VTS so im yet to drive anything that has suprised me lol This should definately be faster than my old corsa though.

[tomw1123]

Any of you lot know if the furio has full electrics?

[Scorgie01]

What do you mean by "Full electrics"

[tomw1123]

Electric mirrors/windows power steering remote central locking...

[Scorgie01]

Yeah thats what i thought.

They come with electric windows
Central locking, Not sure about being remote as mine come with a fob but i cant find a receiver any where
Power steering

[tomw1123]

I'll have to fit remote if it doesnt have it, I fitted it on my corsa and its worth it for how cheap you can get a kit.

[iDale]

Depends on if the person selected them when buying it new I guess?

[Scorgie01]

Yeah there is a good guide on here on how to fit them. As you say they are good for all the price of them

[tomw1123]

So it was an optional extra when bought new?

[Scorgie01]

Could have been. The guy i bought mine from said that all it needed was a new battery in the fob but apparently not hahaha

[tomw1123]

Hopefully this one has... i've fitted 2 remote central locking kits now lol Im getting a bit tired, and i get impatient at wiring and when it doesnt work i get grumpy because you cant see whats wrong with electrics :(

[tomw1123]

If anyones interested that bloke said the cars got all the electrics i want, hes going to take pics of the rust.... What should i offer him, bearing in mind insurance are probably going to want another 300quid upfront :(
