Hi. After a few years admiring the A2 I took the plunge and bought one just before Christmas. It’s a Black, one owner 1.4petrol with Red interior and 105k miles on the clock. Everything seems to work except the screen washers. I can hear a pump working - but no water. And yes I have checked the reservoir.
Today, having acquired a set of 16’’ wheels that I had refurbed and a brand new set of Khumo tyres I swapped out the 17’’ QT(?) wheels and the car is notably quieter and more compliant - if a bit less ‘visually spectacular’ and a bit more Bauhaus. Far more relaxing to drive.
in taking it for a service including cam belt and water pump change on Friday- it’s on a long life service schedule and the oil looks worse than in my diesel! The colour of molasses. More frequent changes will be the new way forward I think!
Looking forward to learning more about these fine little cars as the months go by.
Cheers.
