If this was the James Agger car, then I had the hots for this as well!

Unfortunately, needed to sell my Chim to realise all my cash. This is now done - just got the agreement from the purchaser - Yippee!

Enjoy - hope you have many happy miles!
Nick.

PS looking for a nice Tuscan now!

I do have another minor problem low speed acceleration.
Trying to creep with the traffic i find it difficult to keep the revs balance too much or tries to stall.
Don't think it's me being new to the car.
Maybe a throttle pot issue?

Great looking car Paul. Another blue Tuscan in the region thumbup

Just give James a call about how the engine's running. He will help get anything sorted. I think 700-800 rpm is a bit lower than mine.

It took a while to work out how to take the bonnett off but i won and took some more piccies.
Mainly dust just used a rag.





The condition of this car is exemplery poor things never been used most of the engine parts look like they've come straight out of the factory.
Car's not perfect though.
1 Exhaust is very loose you can see the bolt under the back of the car move as you wiggle the can but must be loose near engine as well.
Metal rattleing noise about gearbox above 3k in any gear i hope it's exhaust.
Passenger door glass to high it lifts the roof by 5mm.
Need to get it on a ramp.

Did sort out sqeaky roof with velcro strip in roof join and one way tape on boot lid edge to stop it rubbing on clear window fitted uprated clips which would of helped as wellthumbup

Love the car it's acedriving

Nip into Halfords and buy a wiper for the drivers side with a 'spoiler' on it. It's a Bosch wiper - I think there's a part number on mytuscan.co.uk but I just took my old wiper in and they matched it up.

If those other niggles are all you're finding then you have indeed made a great purchase!
