  1. Four Year Hiatus

    Not exactly a newbie, just back after a 4 year break. and because the forum is such a good place for real-world knowledge - that search facility if pretty cool - i thought i'd say hello anyway. after all, a quick post on the forum confirmed i was making the right decision (hopefully), and...
  2. 4 Year Hiatus

    i remember the old Mk4 1.4 wasn't good on fuel. it's still the same motor, but they must have changed something - or cheated!! ssshhh.
  3. 4 Year Hiatus

    CHeers. I've read it's not as efficient as the official figures (but no car is these days), but to go from a quoted 47.9 to even low 30s is appalling. i thought it was only hybrids and diesels that lied this much!! One of the reasons for getting the car is to save a bit of cash. i get more...

    Ha! that's why it seemed familiar.
  5. 4 Year Hiatus

    Cheers. good to know they sorted the bushes out, i replaced them once, and they were advisory again a couple of years later when i sold it (IIRC). is it live axle at the rear? the old one sometimes felt it on bumpy roundabouts. the new car felt a better product - though i loved my old one -...
  6. 4 Year Hiatus

    Thanks, it's good to know. it's just going to be a runabout, the daily commute, and a carry a bike or two a few weekends a year. I did a search here to see if there were any common/known faults and it seems a reliable motor, thanks for confirming. my old '05 N/A 1.2 was bombproof, the...

    Cheers, yeah it's an old engine, but it drove well. and unfortunately neither choice or time are on my side. i think i posted this in the wrong forum , not logged in for a long time - that's my excuse!
  8. 4 Year Hiatus

    i'm looking to get back behind the wheel of an Ibiza after a 4 year break. i loved my last one (a 2005 1.2sx), so think it's a solid choice. the one i'm looking at is a 1.4 TOCA 63 plate. I though it wise to ask the forum for any tips, things to lookout for, or things to ask about, before i...

  10. You know you have a MK4 Ibiza when...

    when everyone in you car craps their pants and shouts "whats that? whats wrong?" when the low fuel beeeeeeeeeep goes off when you press the button on the remote 20times to get the boot open when you're weaving down the road to avoid pot-holes when you've got the coolest supermini on the road!
