Regular Posts: 132 Location: Cullompton, Devon | Thanks Dan, sorry for your loss too! Wow I wasnt sure it was a 1.1 as it has so much more to offer than the 1.1 metro. If you work on them day in day out, fancy giving me an electrical hand?! I still have the 1.4 auto metro at my disposal so I'm alright losing one Thanks for not completely rejecting me about the car | ||

Regular Posts: 132 Location: Cullompton, Devon | Haha I know but at least I didnt say the 106 is better! Still need to get my hands on a metro cabriolet, and as I said I still have the Si which is a very good car | ||

Regular Posts: 132 Location: Cullompton, Devon | Ahh now thats where youre wrong. See this kid has had an accident before it was sold and has replaced the bonnet, its black and poorly painted, by the looks of it with a roller, to match the car. So thats just another reason why I thought it might have been changed. Cheers for the help though guys | ||

Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | Check the engine number, should confirm if it's a 1.1 or not for sure. | ||

Expert Posts: 11052 Location: Wolverhampton | If the block is aluminium its a 1.1, considering the layout of inlet and thermostat etc | ||

Expert Posts: 2568 Location: Up in the lakes | not bad, a few of my mates have had a 106's, handle well and like you say, even the 1.1's push a bit of power. Very chuckable too The only thing that would stop me having one is i find the pedals are far too close together, throttle and brake in particular. That said, get another metro you fool! | ||

Expert Posts: 11052 Location: Wolverhampton | if you can call 59 bhp a lot of power. Also the brakes are a bit shit but thats easily sorted | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 768 Location: Swindon, Wiltshire | Don't get into a scrap with a new Kia Cee'd... Peugeots come off considerably worse... Write off, that was, all because she didn't stop at a roundabout. Looks like the 1.1 engine to me! Would never own another one, I must admit. I'm still recovering from the injuries and waiting on the insurance payout. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 684 Location: Tamworth | Better question, how much did you pay for it? | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 768 Location: Swindon, Wiltshire | She hit us at 40! She was speeding and didn't bother to slow down. All four of us saw it coming as she got onto the roundabout and therefore tense up as well. I'm surprised the car didn't roll. | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | That ain't a 40mph crash, the car would be way more twisted being t boned at that speed! I hit an Avensis at 10mph and did more damage lol | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 768 Location: Swindon, Wiltshire | All the chassis was bent to fook, as was the front end. I was quite surprised the the window didn't smash or anything to be fair. She admitted her speed at the scene! | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 755 Location: Halesowen | What injuries did you get from that? This is what happened to mine when my sister borrowed it. Hit so hard the drivers seat was pushed over and covering the handbrake. She claimed injuries because she had a volvo hit her in the side of her leg and headbutted the door. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 768 Location: Swindon, Wiltshire | They crumple like a bastard! Neck strain, mass muscle spasms down my back from my R shoulder to my lower back, right ankle injury where it went between the pedals as I instinctively braked as I spotted her hurtling towards me and right wrist where I braced against the steering wheel. Nightmare woman! All four of us could barely move the day after. Oh, and of course my right fist where I punched her window for being such a stupid bitch and looking at me like it was my fault for being on the roundabout. Lol... *EDIT* Was it her fault? i.e. Pulling out into a junction/into a roundabout? Bearing in mind it's on the driver side, usually it happens that way! Just out of interest really.
