  1. You can remove them all from the rear, but the Citroen chevron on the front leaves 2 x little holes. Here's mine, debadged and de-wpiered... http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z79/The_Endorser/107%20Pictures/img734.jpg
  2. if you buy a 107, the tacho is a £22 option on the new car. Pug have recently revised downwards the claim 0-60 time of the 107 (so it outght to be equally applicable to the C1 really) from 14.7 to 13.7 seconds, which is very respectable for the class and quicker than a fair few 207models. Autocar tested their own 107 at 12.8 for the 0-60, so it'll see off the bulk of the Skoda Fallatio models for a lot less money.
  3. Excellent news! I'm like you - what I save in fuel amonth over my old Mi16 more thanmakes themonthly repayments on the 107! I wouldn't worry about sealing the underside. They're actually very well protected and the polyureathane based sealant applied at the factory could be damaged by applying other substances over it. An occiasional clean and stopping the much accumulating in the rear arches (and easy job with an old sponge - takes 30 seconds a side when ever you clean the car) is all you need do. I went for the 107 myself over the C1 - it was only £100 more than the equivalent Citroen, but came with rev counter, and colour coded handles and mirrors, so it was worth the extra ton. That said, Citroen do some really nice colurs on the C1 that aren't available on the 107.
  4. They're d1ckheads if they've used sealant! Pop off the interior light and you'll see the 10mm bolt head that holds the aerial in place - all that is required is that this is nipped up. The car has a zinc phosphorescent coating so unless the hamfisted techies have damaged it you've got no worries with rust. Just avoid car washes - they're terribly destructive to paint and rubbers and not really any quicker than using a bucket and sponge, especially when you cator in the time it takes to drive there.
  5. I'd question it being an inherent fault. I'm a moderator on 107oc and the Group leader of the 107 register at PSOOC, both vastly busier forums than here, and this has never been raised before. I don't doubt that you've suffered, but it's by no means an inherent fault.
  6. I nearly got a C1, but the extra £100 on the pug got so much more in terms of kit that it would've been daft not too.
  7. There is a genuine Peugeot aftermarket one which'd fit the C1, and it's under £400 fitted ;)
  8. Well, it's that indefinable mix of qualities that makes them so cheeky. Not a rocket ship, but quick enough. Lively handling and a general 'big car' feel. Cheap running costs in fuel, insurance and tax always make me smile. Wrap it up in a fairly reliable (more so than any current Citroen or Peugeot by a good margin) and attractive package at a bargain basement price and it's a winner. The Twingo is a poor pastiche of the C1/107 and is heavier, less economical and more expensive, but it's easy to see which car inspired it. The forthcoming Fiat Topolino and VW diddy-car are visually almost perfect carbon copies of the C1/107, yet you can guarantee they won't match all the attributes of our wee beasties
  9. Thats right. i emailed them a few weeks ago saying "When you going to list 107 parts on your website?" and they replied by emailing me the Musketier catalogue and saying "shut your big southern yap - we sell all this stuff" :)
  10. You've left it a bit late to get shot, really. If it's been cr4p for as long as you say you should've formally rejected the car ages ago. By soldiering on for so long you'd indicated a degree of acceptance and will have trouble trying to sort any recompense now, especially if the dealer is playing ball and trying to fix bits under the warranty. You're now saddled with trying to get it fixed as best as you can under warranty, and then getting shot ASAP. Mine (a 107) has had a new clutch at 4,000 miles, but so what? It was fixed under warranty (which is why we buy new cars instead of used ones) and it's been spot on ever since.
  11. There is a recurring problem with release bearings on these boxes and several 107 owners (including myself) have ended up with new clutches under warranty. Once the new clutch was in the change was sweet and light, with no stickiness or reluctance to go into any gear.
  12. Ecosse will get one for you. I've been looking at this myself and a few weeks ago they emailed me confirmation that they can supply the Musketier range.
  13. Thanks chap :)
  14. Here's mine... http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z79/The_Endorser/107%20Pictures/img567.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z79/The_Endorser/107%20Pictures/img565.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z79/The_Endorser/107%20Pictures/img688.jpg And the rear wiper removal... http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z79/The_Endorser/107%20Pictures/img734.jpg Carbon shaft and Lotus knob... http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z79/The_Endorser/107%20Pictures/img382.jpg And a close up of the alloys... http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z79/The_Endorser/107%20Pictures/img563.jpg
  15. The release bearing is a common failure point on the 107 (and therefore the C1) and several folk, including myself, have had to have a new clutch under warranty.
  16. Hi, My names TurboSlag (my friends just call me 'slag :unsure: ). I'm a moderator on the 107oc and the group leader of the 107 Register at PSOOC, so as you might guess I own a 107. And I do indeed, a rather modded one. Hope to pop in now and again to chat and help out folk with any questions that might arise. Chin Chin.
