Hi,
I picked up a 2008 1.4 hatch in great nick for £300, MOT until Dec, 125k on the clock. I'll be replacing the front pads and drivers electric window module (ebay qube) next week.
- It drives just fine but lacks power below 3000rpm - is this normal? Feels like my old twin stroke 125 motorcycle!
- The clutch is really high so I wonder if I should see if it lasts until MOT time, or if I risk a breakdown? I do about 50 miles a month on hilly terrain. I'm willing to change the clutch myself if I can find a friend with a driveway, but may change vehicles at the end of the year.
- Can anyone recommend an OBD2 bluetooth reader to work with an iPhone 6s?
- Any worthwhile performance/economy modifications to note? Would prefer to keep it stock unless I'm missing a neat trick or two.
Thanks!
