  1. With a multi air be very careful on the oil choice the whole system can fail if the wrong viscosity or grade is used.
  2. I use shop 4 parts good prices and mostly genuine parts. That limited is the twin of my car it is a mystery why it's being broken looking at the pics unless there's rear end damage on the side not pictured (??) I think almost any accident damage will write off a delta now as values are plummeting to zero. There's a 1.4 SE multi air on a 12 plate locally at a second hand car dealer for £4000 which is ridiculously cheap although I don't know the mileage etc.
  3. I think it can house up to something like 17 inch if you check in the instruction book it lists the spare sizes, I think the 225 wide tires are too wide to fit though. You also need a tool kit as the gunk didn't come with a jack! I bought tool kit and temporary type spare for a bravo off a breakers via eBay although I've not physically checked it a bravo (2007-2014 version) wheel should fit fine as they are mechanically identically cars. As regards the gunk you can use the pump with the gunk disconnected if the puncture is slow as this will probably be sufficient to get the car to a tyre depot and not mess up the tyre. Incidentally you may well find that the gunk is now past its use by date
  4. Not dtuk, supplier didn't say they were having problems it's just that they say to be safe they can't apply additional part throttle boost because of possible boost increase by ecu when regenerating. I fit the box and there's a power increase but it appears to dimish as the car 'learns' and if removed after period of time car is barely any slower. Another box may be different but I've decided not to bother as it's adequate as is. By their very nature boxes are an imprecise art I'm semi tempted by a rolling road remap instead but worried that it's a no way back solution at least with the box you can take it off.
  5. I've used them before but I just found on the delta that I can't get a reliable and sustainable result ( the performance gains seem to diminish over time as if the ecu learnt to adjust parameters) it was the box manufacturer that said there were issues with dpf equipped cars not a remap supplier.
  6. Are you still using a tuning box? I've no idea how yours works but I have read that increasing boost on a car with dpf can be dangerous except short duration at full throttle. This is particularly because apparently on some makes (no idea if fpt is included) during regen the ecu increases the boost so an additional boost from the tuning box would be OTT. Incidentally I tried a tuning box on my car (one that allegedly only increased boost at full throttle) but took it off eventually as it appears that over time the ecu learns its being manipulated(?)and secondly it was emitting radio interference that reduced the dab signal (as do most, maybe all, in car phone chargers!). As I'm not technical no idea if the above about tuning boxes is true just what I read and thought it could be relevant.
  7. Sounds rather unfortunate are you sure it's the turbo? I've not heard of much bother with turbos on bravo/delta
  8. I bet you are relieved to see that Lancia badge when you get in the car, originally I wasn't going to change my airbag but the glare of the Chrysler badge drove me mad! ?
  9. On the factory nav I never use presets, there is a list function that will list all FM stations with a decent signal wherever you are I just scroll down that to select the station I want. On another subject just sailed through another mot no issues at approx 53k miles who says Italian cars are unreliable?
  10. ? touch screen ? Nothing so posh, the standard nav is very clunky
  11. As well as a seat that doesn't slide and only folds down to about 45 degrees ......
  12. I think £500 is very cheap to professionally change all the items listed, the airbag alone new costs a fortune for the delta be careful as ypsilon one looks the same and is much cheaper but doesn't fit (although you can swap the cover over). I can't see headrests as being economic to change and indeed I'm not even sure on my car if you can easily remove the rear ones which appear fixed (executive type back seat)
  13. Yeah they all have a big step because I believe they were designed to have a dual layer boot, shame they don't. My seat however sticks up at about 35 degrees even when folded
  14. Happened to me once I just used the emergency cord, hasn't happened since. Surprised you could get a fridge in but mine has the fat executive seats so perhaps the normal seats fold flatter?
  15. A 'slow' weekend drive in a diesel, as you can see not bad but hardly any better than petrol. I started on a full tank so a range shot as well to give an idea of full tank range. Whilst it doesn't meet most folks bar room boasts (do you recall when that used to be mph not mpg?) I find it pleasingly economical if I'd driven the delta HF HPE I used to own a few years back at similar speeds I'd have been hard pressed to hit more than 25mpg!
  16. Sounds a bit screwy, have you tried a hard reset by disconnecting the battery? My trip is OK except that when it goes over approx 700 miles the average speed zeros and then starts to recalculate so you might have done for example 800 miles in 16 hours at an actual average of 50mph but the display will show something like 4mph!
  17. I think emission controls affect this a lot, my diesel is similar slightly flat at the bottom end just a symptom of more modern cars.
  18. Official figured are always higher than reality, actually my diesel hardly does any better than that on a run. Is the 60 the average showing on the trip if so you are driving pretty FAST!
  19. In the centre accessed via drivers footwell. Not done it myself but understand it is awkward due to pedals being in the way on rhd
  20. You'll only find then as old stock, as they were stupidly expensive I think most dealers never sold their original allocation so might be worth trying phoning around a few ex-Chrysler dealers?
  21. Easiest way is with windows button and voice recognition, if I remember correctly you just say pairing(?)
  22. If you have problems a software update might help check the official website dead easy to do
  23. You can get valeo specific fit from euro car parts not expensive
  24. Sorry no idea mine is sometimes a bit erratic but I've never had this long term. Have you tried doing a software update?
