That's it, have owned and enjoyed the GT for a couple of years now and it's served its purpose... it put a smile back on my face. But times change and it's going in p/ex on monday. Anyone comes across BF10CLZ at an auction or on a forecourt, it was mine, it's clean, major serviced last april at...

Yep, posted the same prob a couple of months ago, got no replies. It did it a number of times, most worryingly at 80-odd on a hospital dash on the M6 ! Strangely, the prob disappeared just as suddenly as it appeared. Hope you get it sorted.

Hi. Have a 2010 Twingo GT and, over the past couple of weeks, the boot has started to unlock itself at random ! So far it has happened when car is running and in motion (in the fast lane... on the M6... :o) stationary both engine running and switched off, key out. It HASN'T happened, yet, when...

Thanks Brad.

Hi. Much as i love my wee GT, i am becoming obsessed with the utter ponciness of its spoiler. Somebody on here labelled it as looking like a shopping-trolley handle, and they weren't far wrong. To my question; are the fixtures and fittings for a 133 spoiler compatible with the GT ? I'm not...

Is it common knowledge that supermarkets are now doing tyres ??... or am i just a donkeys' age behind the times... :(

Should imagine it very much depends on the quality of the pads and tyres fitted. I had two cheap Continentals put on the front 6000 miles ago and they'll both need to be replaced in the next 1000...

Seen the Ecoboost 100/125 bhp turbos, not a 138... where did you see this ? Just found this...

Having just watched Pastor Maldonados' Lotus lunch its Renault power-plant in the Abu Dhabi Grand prix, should i be worried next time i tootle up the A509 in the GT for a loaf & a newspaper ?? :roll:

Thanks for that Universe. Anyone else experienced this ? I stand to be corrected Hrabroslav, but i think the fuel pump is under the floor at the back of the cabin ?

Thanks for that Neil. Have just been out to check my actions and the buzz/whine occurs when the ignition is on (ie 2nd position before starting engine, dash and speedo lit)) NOT just when the lights are switched on (my panicy boo-boo...) Does this narrow any potential probs down ?

OK, Nightbreakers fitted. When testing the lamps (engine OFF) there was a distinct electrical buzz/whine from somewhere in the engine bay which stopped when lights were switched off. Can anyone confirm/refute that this is normal ??

Yep, 'fraid that sounds about right for the more pedantic in the Plod. Not, however, if you were still driving without h/lights. Was once stopped on a m/bike for no lights by a more civic-minded member of the Constabulary. He gave me their standard ''don't want to be the one to scrape you off...

:wtf: Thanks for that Neil, i wasn't aware of that though i did suspect that i might be in breach of one legislation or another. When i first tried it, i did do the ubiquitous 'wall' test and found that, although the light spread from the fogs is significantly wider than the h/lamps, it was no...
