Well just had our first scan this morning and we have discovered we'll be having twins!!! So it looks like for practical and monetary reasons the 197 will have to go... :-( I have currently got it on auto trader at £9200, which going by the other adverts seems reasonable. But I haven't had any...

Well mine does, or someone went to the effort of sewing in a lot of ISOFIX labels and welding some funny metal bits under the seats.... :thumbsup: :biggrin:

lol @ you lot. Yes maybe not with a newborn, but eventually yes!! ;-)

We go camping though and it's already a squeeze.... We would have to leave the child at home lol! Not worried about day to dayness..... Could do with saving some ££ on the petroleums too I guess....

Need to sell my 197 cup unfortunately due to my missus being pregnant, therefore we need a bigger/more economical car.... Around the same price I'll get for mine, (08 Cup, 24953miles, nimbus silver, standard, excellent condition) no more, any suggestions? Also I don't seem to be able to post...

I don't try to, the pump just keeps on going regardless of whether fuel is going all over the floor or not.... A strange fault, but I don't see what could be causing it?!

Hmm that's what I thought. Did have a talk with a tech and he blamed the garages.... Need to have a see about the synchros, as sometimes it wont go into gear when cold, and other times, it won't go from 5th to 6th at revs.... And the omnipresent cold kangaroo fault.

two tanks at two separate Texacos and one Esso tank....

That's what I thought, but I don't know what with!?!? It's as if there isn't enough backpressure to cause the automatic cut-off.... But where could the pressure be going? I'm not holding the nozzle weirdly or anything, put it all the way in.... :huh:

Yup it should! That's my point. Three separate garages, no automatic cutoff. Two quite literally brim fulls, and one overflow onto the forecourt! :thumbdown:

Random thing here. Filled my 197 cup tank 3 times since I've owned it, from 3 separate garages. Everyone the pump hasn't "clicked" off. Is this a fault? If so what can I explain to the technician? Seems very strange, being as I've used these garages before in other cars and never had a not...

not to mention if it's anything like vw's that i've done ecu resets on before then the throttle body *could* need putting back into basic settings....
