  1. We got Maxi-Cosi Elea + Maxi-Cosi Pebble and FamiliFix isofix base.
  2. To me it looks more like the ASR is kicking in and reduce the engine rpms. Try to turn it off before this is happening.Why would the ASR light up if it is the rev sensor? It could be an ABS sensor sending wrong information.
  3. Try to turn off the ASR and check if is still behaving like that.
  4. For the 1.4 16v 100bhp engine the manual suggests that the full power is obtain with super unleaded. It is also on the fuel flap. Try 1-2 full tanks of it and see how it goes.
  5. Are you using Super unleaded 98 RON?
  6. I would also mention the use of Super unleaded 98 RON for maximum power and reliability.
  7. The early engines on 1.4 16v were prone to piston rings problems. As you are looking at a 05 car, that will have the later bbz code engine. They still like the super 98 Ron petrol to get the full power. The 1.4 mpi is quite thirsty and was provided just on early cars.
  8. ACR should be on by default and is off when the light is on. So I presume he reset the ECU and the ABS system as it got stuck in believing that the car is skidding.
  9. I got mine reconditioned for £500 including the fitting, I made the mistake to be there while they were doing it. They manage to drop the gears on the floor, plus washed the internals with water. The put Triple Q oil in it. I changed it after about 50 miles to genuine one. What came out was white and not clear because of the water in it. But now after about 1000 miles is OK, so in the end as long as you change the oil after a while, everything should be fine. Also they didn't tight up properly the front wing liner and the battery cable was a bit twisted.
  10. What engine is it? Could be also a coil pack. If it is a petrol you look at about £130 for o2 sensor.
  11. ASR should be on in winter. Should be off just in deep snow as you might not go anywhere otherwise. Fit 4 winter tyres as having them just on the front will make your car uncontrollable on the back if you have to brake hard.
  12. Maxi-cosi Elea and pebble seat with family fix base, didn't try the seat yet but should fit
  13. Not sure if wd40 good for electronic contact cleaner, you should try proper contact cleaner like this http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/displayProduct.jsp?sku=279481&CMP=e-2072-00001000&gross_price=true which also lubricats
  14. Maybe just a bit of contact cleaner/oil in the switch will do it. You spray a bit of it and then move it completely few times.
  15. I think mine were Pagid as OEM, so I got some coated Pagid with 30% discount from eurocarparts.
