Does eCVT require fluid change?
@@HienTran-ph8bo there will be a service manual provided for your vehicle. Best place to look. I would assume so given that the generator is driven by a steel link belt.
@@DinosaurJuiceCarsmanual says no service for eCVT. Strange
@@HienTran-ph8bo then you are in luck 👍
Nice. Really nice. Love TVR interiors. How many cars with hand crafted leather interiors are so affordable?
Here's a tip to keep you out of trouble. Use NGK U5001 ignition coils (those with a metal part), which are better designed than BERU coils or equivalent, and also apply grease (Beru ZKF**, or Fluostar 2L**, not silicone grease!!!) to the upper seal of the coil to facilitate installation and improve sealing. **The same grease as for the porcelain part of the spark plugs, as it won't damage the silicone rubber !! Remove the ignition coils, check, and re-apply grease before reassembly every 2 or 3 years to make sure there's no water in the spark plug wells.
I have had one for 22 years . Love her.
I’ve just watched your 5 things I love about my S3 video. Your enthusiasm is great! I watched that one, because I am likely to purchase a red S2 with a V6 Cosworth engine in it. . .
Awesome to hear that! I imagine it will be pretty quick with a cosworth engine!
@ yup. Purchase complete. Scarily awesomely fast car.
@@stefis6 fantastic news!
Love the unbridled enthusiasm! Westies are awesome.
Thanks so much
The music is pointless. I could just about hear you. You are not making a blockbuster movie.
Thank you for the criticism. This is a very early video of mine. Whilst I don't often find the time to make videos, I do try to keep going and I learn more along the way. Hopefully I can justify getting better audio equipment, which means I won't need music to hide background noise in the audio.
I owned a blue S3 for 10 years, and it sounded like a machine gun going off when i took my foot off the accelerator.
They are lots of fun
Got a dark green one with the Nissan sr20 engine around 160 hp
Not like that. Fold the corners across outside the cockpit not inside. Fold down the line between the windows then roll everything into the cockpit. You never want to put a crease across the window itself.
Yes I am aware. The video is old I should take it down now.
Great review you have a very likeable personality! Keep it up love the random bits of humour too aha
Seems about right. My 2.0 Zetec MK does about 5ish seconds. What engine is in the westy?
It has a CVH
Interesting video! I think you were travelling on motorway's in this video, were you driving at 70mph? I think getting mid 60s to the gallon is very respectable in a carburetted car, I have a Toyota aygo and thst can do mid 60s on a mtorway cruise and thst has electronic fuel injection but i suspect your kia weighs less than the aygo?
The Kia is 790kg. I was doing 55 to 60 mph on this trip.
More videos of the TWINGO 😮😮😮😮😮❤
Terribly sorry but I've sold the car 😅. Trying to find time at the moment to make videos. Definitely got a few planned with some other French cars 👍
I remember in the 1960s two guys where I worked had Lotus 7s and they used them as daily drivers and NEVER had a roof on the car even in winter. They did not have carpets, only aluminium floors. Many enthusiasts of Midgets say "throw the roof away" just use the tonneau cover.
Hey everyone!! I need your help ! I have found a Twingo RS 2011 with 30K km on the clock, and full service history. I really think of buying it but I am unsure about their reliability. How reliable are these cars? Any known problems/issues ?
They have their problems, things like water in the ignition coils. However if you like it I would say go for it! Ps don't get the cup chassis it is too stiff!

The S is a lovely car. Great shape, decent reliability. I owned Psychobert’s grey de-catted Blue Flame S3c before him in case you have heard about it on TVR forums. World’s loudest street legal exhaust (probably). Serious fun and loud as hell.
Yes I love the car and hope to be able to put the time into it this year to make it perfect👍. The exhaust will definitely be changed
Hi mate - what are the wheel specs? Fitment is great.
I didn't put them on myself they were done by the last owner. They are JBW wheels and take the stock tyre size.
@@DinosaurJuiceCars thanks - are they 16’s? I don’t suppose you happen to know the width and offset do you? Absolutely love the car.
They are the same diameter as the original wheels. I can't remember if that is 15 or 16. I don't really know anything more about them. JBW only really have the one offset so you might be in luck with that.
Got a 290s s2 last year absolutely love mine - great video dude!
Thanks very much 😊
Still have the Midget?
I do still have it. Work is crazy and has been for years but I would like to make another video with it soon
Very smart, great engine.
I love the S. Its like you say a proper sports car. Id add its analogue so much more raw and engaging. Very fun without speeding. I have a Chimaera. I saw a vixen recently they are very cool.
5 years later... Many thanks for the video! The spring on mine was bent. Thanks to your video, I knew what to expect when taking it apart!
Your welcome. I would love to make some newer videos. I still have the car although I don't know for how long.
Excellent content, I previously owned at Twingo gt, 145hp, ktech tuned. Thinking about getting an RS???.
Very fun cars however not very reliable.
@@DinosaurJuiceCars what the RS??.
Yeah
Kevin Turvey
A 42 year old reference there 🤣. I am glad you enjoyed the video even if it is not the way I intend.
What an awful concept surely everyone knows the best place to put the hood up....Is to store up in the loft at least with Midgets. As a friend of mine said when we did 5000 miles in the states in his 73, the long skinny pedal on the right is designed to keep rain out Johnny
At the time I was making lots of content with my MG midget I liked the idea of comparing it to more modern convertibles. Unfortunately I ran out of free time to make videos. Changing jobs soon so hopefully I will start making videos again
Not surprised editing is such a long job.... for a young guy like you work and social life have to take priority 👍 Not so bad for retired old farts like me. Best of wishes with your career and love what I have seen of your video Kind regards Johnny Warner 👍 But stay topless and leave hoods to the tender and delicate 🤣👍
Thank You!
Best review i've seen of the Twingo Rs. Thank you :)
You are very welcome.
How fast would be a 420 kg Fireblade with 125 hp ?
It would definitely be fun. Probably 5 to 5.5s to 60 depending on gearing and traction would be my guess.
Thanks very much - very informative!
My new pump just arrived and I noticed the primer leaver for the first time, never knew about it! Your video confirmed it.
Your welcome
Great vid fella,am currently looking at a Westfield with a zetec 1.8 in and thinking seriously to buy it!!!might have to after watching you have so much fun!!!
Definitely a lot of fun! I have now moved on to a smaller Sylva Striker that is fantastic ❤️
@@DinosaurJuiceCars ah cool yes I looked at one of those years ago actually and liked them.I used to have a formula 27 with a tuned Rover V8 some years ago(MENTAL!!!)and when I sold it I always swore I get another 7 replica one day so it’s gotta be a caterham (which I can’t afford )or a Westfield!!I live now in west Kerry in Ireland so 7 replicas and the like are as rare as hens teeth so will go for the one for sale here as it’s easy to get without having to travel to Uk 😎Take it easy and enjoy the striker 👍👍
Cookie monster in a kit car 😂
I will take that 🤣
great video 👍
I have one of these cars, why don’t the wiper control me indicator control not light up at night, or they not meant too please any help would be great to put my mind at rest thank you guys
Sorry I only had the press car for a week at the start of 2019 so I don't know. The user manual would help you.
gotta love the madness 😃😎💪
Thanks. Expect a new video like this with my new se7en soon. It is smaller lighter and more powerful than the Westfield was.
Good choice quirky and characterful and the 2.9 Cologne was a respected engine it delivers bass sound and power.
torque at low revs??😮😮
for a na high reving 1.6 defenly. but it is not like the new tubo cars
Amazing memories, an incredible trip and all for a great cause! Can't wait until the next one in April ❤️
Will be fantastic
Having bought a S2 after your videos and buying one I have waited for your next vid! Great stuff, keep posting!
Thank you the support means a lot. A video about my race car will be out in February 👍.
I’ve got the newer face lift RS for my first car, love it.
Very lucky to have that as a 1st car I hope you enjoy it 👍👍
This was sort of credible until he said it didn't leak!
Honestly couldn't believe it too but it honestly does not leak! The s-series is a slightly less waterproof car but it is surprisingly better than most.
Get a helmet
I do have a helmet. Not the best for making videos tho.
Sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks are having a blast!!!!!
Sir as an owner of 2 roadsters both notchback and coupe, and later fortwos i am considering this car now and i am a bit scared of french reliability. I am very happy you compared them and chose this car. I would like to buy one very soon as i am selling my 451. I owned Abarth and the cost of new clutch and turbo was too much to me. I hope this car is the best of all of those. :)
My one is for sale at the moment
If you are in the uk
If not in the UK. Good luck with your hunt it is a very fun hot hatch. The suspension can be too stiff for some on the cup version. As for reliability you should be ok if serviced. Coil packs can get wet so some people seal the scuttle panel.
@@DinosaurJuiceCars sorry not in the uk but thanks :) I can't wait to buy one
Check out Fasttrack Tours for details of the annual S Club Tour.
Yeah sounds fun
I had an S2 back in 1992. Loved it. Took it on a trip to France and Switzerland
Great, thank you for sharing
I have been trying to get my series II started abd thought it would pull the fuel though with a bit of gas down the carb (which it does run-for a few seconds- but thanks, I was about to replace the pump.
Your welcome
How is the audio quality in the twingo?
Not the best if I am honest
@@DinosaurJuiceCars but its at least okay? I have sx4 2009 and its really bad, but in megane 2010 it was a lot better. I wonder if it has the same audio as megane (i doubt)
@@simorx580 yeah it is ok but if you really like your music it would need a upgrade
@@DinosaurJuiceCars im not audiophile or some expert but if there is no cracking and rattling then its okay for me. Im still deciding to what my first car should be and there are not many options where I live 😂
