Hi folks
Got my first car this week saxo desire 1.1 silver 2002 52 plate is a sweet little drive.
I need to change the brakes as they're all but non existent and the handbrake has very high travel so need to adjust the cables going to look at them tonight and see what is the problem, they were last changed 3 years ago.
Im not able to trawl through this forum considering how old this forum is but could anybody tell me the how many litres of oil the car takes?
The front bonnet had rust on the rim by the windscreen all the way along so painted that (different silver!!) with some hammerite rust eater but it I'll be getting a paint mix from halfrauds to touch it up and fill in any stone chips.
Broke the grill off yesterday lifting the bonnet up but siliconned it back in so should be alright now lol.
There's a few little niggles I wondered if anybody else has any knowledge about...
My seats doesn't sometimes click fully into place, the position I have it in now is fine but if it's further back (which I will need it to be because my knee ached badly after a long drive yesterday) it will click in and be fine but as soon as I pull a way a tad fast it will slide right to the back and become loose again.
Bonnet is not sitting flush I wonder if the clip isn't locking it in tight?
My speakers are a tad odd, came with aftermarket kenwood, radio is fine but when using aux, the back speakers play sound even if the volume is at 0 but the sound quality is fine when it's turned up, got a pop at 28 but now I've adjusted the settings I will have to see, any ideas?
And my gearstick has a large wobble, causing me to put it in the wrong gear sometimes which has been a laugh, I saw a post here about the bearings might be off and a quick shift might be better.
