Rusty, Whatho! Like Geoff, I looked at the European Sites also. Why are we not getting any of these variants? (Go through Yahoo and type in microcar MC1 + MC2...
mines 36,000 miles from new and if one takes the gear box as being ok for 30,000 looks like that car has a way to go yet before it needs much attension. Yes...
last couple of days the poor old Aixam is loosing power somewhere. Uphill "performance" is well worse and 40 seems to be par for level flight now. Yesterday i...
interesting... just been to mechanic, theres two filters. Dint know that at all. One on engine one behind the engine (couldnt be anywhere easy to get at could...
thinking about taking the car test next year,just wondered if you can take it in a quaddie[eg your own aixam car) if so does it mean you can only drive an...
Interesting question. I feel it would qualify you for an automatic car, but i don't know. They might just argue that you hadn't provided a "suitable vehical"...
Just spend a happy afternoon under the bonnet. Got one filter off easy the one on the engine. The old one looked white and mucky. The other i couldn't get off...
The RHS (driver's side) speaker in my Aixam has developed a bad connection and only now works when it feels like it. I've trace the leads under the dash (also...
Ive put speekers in (cheepo bottom of range Eco) and i would say that going in from the top is the way to get at the speeker. I leaverd off the grill thingy,...
Tonight I've bought a V reg Aixam diesel, 19000 miles with MOT until April 2006 - for just £100 :-) A rag, under the bonnet, fell into the drive belt causing...

oh and.... the pully comes off as one bit. The bit with the spring is held on by a circlip towards the engine, which wears its groove, letting the rampy things...
Hi John, on the outside face of the g'box pulley, are some reccesses which look as if they're for a large 'peg' spanner, a piece of iron strip and two bolts,...
Am I right in thinking the main problem with Aixam gearboxes is a circlip failing and then getting jammed in the gears / bearings thus causing the alloy casing...
Had a pleasant surprise this morning. Previous owner of my Aixam rang to say he forgot to give me the rear seat. When I was collecting I was told the story...
Turns out all that was wrong with my Aixam was the pulley nut was completley missing. Took me longer to machine a washer to fit under a new lock nut (with...
yes slip it on as you sort of seperate the castleated bits, not too dificult..... Gear box, two ways it can go, circlip wanderings and mid bearing failing (due...

... Hi John, Seems like you're suffering there son! When you say `slow' is it like you haven't put the hammer down, or is it lacking some wellie?. Any smoke?...
symptoms are, seems to be drinking more fuel than normal. about 25 less miles per tankfull (diesel). Pulling away is painful with the engine takeign and age to...
Sure it's not sticking front brakes Jon? Doesn't take much to bugger up the performance of an Aixam, and sticking brakes certainly does it. Gets worse after a...
Hi Jon, ... Silly question, you haven't picked up some 'dirty' fuel have you? <sb> Take care, Chris, village idiot, Suffolk. As lacking in privacy as a...
Yes i may have had dirty post fuel panic fuel... the tanks almost empty now, i will inspect the filter tommorow see if its gammy, tho its three/four days...
I went to my local car accesory shop yesterday and managed to get an oil fiter for my Aixam "off the shelf". It's a Fram item number PH5885. It isn't listed in...
I'm getting worried but the gearbox (replaced 5000 miles ago) on my newly aquired Aixam. I've already got a 1980's Microcar RJ125 (125cc engine !) with broken ...
