So instead I've bought another one for £600. Idea is to take a few of the good things off the old matiz and then sell for scrap. However, I dont know how to:-

1. Door mirrors (broke on new one)
2. Black metal strip on passenger window (one on new car corroded)
3. Windscreen wiper arm (corroded on new one)

Anything else worth taking from old one? I was thinking maybe looking see which one had best looking battery, air filter, spark plugs etc.

also, old matix has alloys with decent tyres on, new one is steel wheels with average tyres so might swap those as well.]]>

I'm cruzin' at 100km/h, and it just dies.. the engine light comes on, at it will not start for a couple of minutes. Then it suddenly starts, and everything is okay for a day or two. No coughs or hiccups, runs fine until it stops... I did the paperclip-routine, and got 0110 and 0340. MAT and camshaft positioning sensor. But I think these faults are old, I had the same a couple of years ago. And according to the manual, I don't think these sensors will stop the car..? I have cleared the ECM this evening, so I will get fresh faultcodes tomorrow...
After a bit of searching the forum and google, the crank shaft positioning sensor seems like something that could couse the engine to stop. But I'm not even sure if my car has got one..! Where is it located?
When the problem startet, I changed the sparkplugs, distributor cap and rotor. I will measure the HT leads tomorrow, but they are not old.. It's worth mentioning that the problem startet after I changed to summerwheels.. And they are terrible out of balance! Getting new tires tomorrow, but the car has been shaking alot for some time now.. Would the fuel cut off switch cause the engine to die for several minutes, and then start again?

Any suggestions?]]> The engine dies sometimes(a few times a week) after 5-10 min of driving.

Summer's almost here and that means my little Matiz will soon turn into a portable oven, as I don't have air conditioning.
I asked the dealer how much it would cost to install into my 1998 Matiz, but he said more than the value of the car, so I dropped that idea like a hot spud.

I thought of simply investing that money in extra deodorant, until I saw some crackpots on the net try out this portable air cooler idea.

So here's my €30 version, using a simple plastic box and some piping with a compact, high power blower fan.
[Image: chillybincooler1-1.jpg]
It's almost finished. I just glued some more things into place.
As you can see, the motor will force air in one end of the pipe, which will soon be submerged under cold water. In theory, the air coming out the other end of the pipe should be a few degrees cooler.

[Image: chillybincooler2.jpg]
Here's the other side, better showing the tubing glued to the plastic box. This way it should stay under when the box is half-full of water.

Now, I'm not expecting incredible results from this contraption, and condensation on the outside will be a problem, but you know what they say: "Curiosity killed the cat".
I'll probably place it on the passenger side floor and put some sort of directional vent on the top if it works.

If it doesn't do a darn thing, then it'll end up in the nearest plastic recycling box. Biggrin

The glue should be dry by this weekend, so I'll let you all know if it makes any difference to the temperature of the air coming out. We shall see!]]>
