kalis: welcome. is yours the dark green? No offence, but i hate that colour. Would be nice to see some pics of it tho[/QUOTE]

hey mate no worries bout the colour, its a hate or love colour i think some hate it some really like it. i would have preffered black but i bought the car on impulse. id been looking at them on auto trader coz i was looking at replacing my polo (gay little car). and yeah i saw the ibiza at a garage and went for it, its not perfect but its stil fun to drive and doesnt look 1/2 bad either

and do you lot never reverse using mirrors?

yeah, I use them a lot at the mo due to my drivers window not working

Someone decided it would be a good ideato put little stubby mirros on, so altho i have them they are useless!!

I've not had a problem with them TBH! Can still see, and just look over shoulder when lane changing (which I did anyway with standard mirrors)

I've just sent my climate control unit and the face off to have it modified. This will enable the use of an aftermarket stereo.. will post pics up of the final product once ive received. Heres a picture of what it should look like..

whats the company called mate and if you dont mind me asking how much is it costing you?

lol must have been posted in the wrong thread, i've nearly done that a few times, when ive loads of threads in different tabs.

its even worse when i do it on msn, can get you in a lot of trouble!!!

hmmmm actually reading over it again, it's probably not a mistake cos he says "Yea another 1.4 owner here."

random!

 

[Chris3boro]

still doesnt make sense Mark lol. Oh well.

 

[markmeus]

well on another note, i did my first mod to my car today, though don't get excited as its not really a mod, but anyway, i replaced the passenger door lock pin thing with a new one, as the top of the old one had been snapped off since i bought the car.

So, not a mod, however fixing things will hopefully get my into the mood and ill get my black vinyl strips for the b pillars on soon, and then get the mirrors and bumpers colour coded! cant wait. and I'm thinking of a cupra grille as well

which reminds me has anyone else fitted the vinyl stuff to the b pillar cos i imagine it'll be hard to do without air bubbles and stuff. If so, I'll hopefully i can talk my dad into doing it. Though hes probably sick looking at my car as he put a new clutch in it last week for me.

Handy having a technically minded dad, just a pity i didnt follow in his footsteps. I havnt a clue about mechanical things, i just drive the car and want it to look nice! lol.

i need some help quick lads. my clutch has bitten the dust, i knew it was going but not this quickly.

what part number / where can i get a standard clutch from its a 1.4 so dont need anything better than the factory clutch.

anyhelp would be great as i need to get it done this weekend but need to order the parts tomorrow.

 

[Ibiza125]

ebay Cheap as chips. Maybe not as good as a factory clutch but don't think it would be far off it...

 

[markmeus]

same thing happend mine 2 weeks ago, knew its was getting heavier but then it just suddenly went when changing from 3rd to 4th

I got a new clutch from GSF, though not sure how much it cost as my dad bought it and fitted it.

 

[Chris3boro]

yeh try ebay mate, dont pay loads for a 'sports' one or anything. Is it driveable atm? (never had a clutch go on me before)

 

[Adam R]

ebay will take too long as it needs to be fitted this weekend / friday.

also my clutch has lasted 120K miles so im not sure many of you lot are at this distance yet

 

[Adam R]

also what is the engine code for the 1.4 i cant remember for the life of me

ure beezas done 120k? crikey you do some mileage

 

[mr0709]

Try Mr clutch mate there's one in southampton not sure whether there is in portsmouth but they are normally pretty reasonable with their prices

 

[mr0709]

Out of interest whats everyones ibiza on mileage wise?

im just shy of 57k

 

[Adam R]

apparently most of it was done on the motorway. (it had 93K when i purchased the car.)

i have put nearly 27K on in over 1.5 yrs, which i suppose is quite a bit too, but then again i was doing like 140 miles a day commute for quite a while

looked up at the review and apparently customer service and fitting quality is like kwik fits, appauling chav's who cant do sh*t to a car.

i will be fitting the clutch myself as i dont trust anyone with my car.
