[What year is it please? And 8 spark plugs!! crikey. I've seen a couple for sale nr me, unlike the A2's ( which seem few and far between) lots seem to have service history too [/quote]
Ours is 2007 1.4 SE. Perhaps I didn't get the best value spark plugs because I opted for the more expensive long life plugs similar to those I took out of it.

Have you thought about a Skoda Felicia pick up? Only 1200cc just two seats so you can't have all your mates in the back egging you on to do something stupid and big enough to carry a whole drum kit. My daughter has one and I can't remember what the insurance was, but it was in hundreds of pounds, not thousands. And I could pinch it off him for work 👍😄

The earlier generation 1.4dsi engined Jazz (eg 2002+) is chain cam. Denso plugs at Eurocarparts are 4.50 each prior to discount so I wouldn't get too worried about that. Cheers

Well just bought an A2 Hope he likes it! Having to store it 30 miles away, so not had much chance to play with it and probably won't get the chance to see it again until his birthday. Needs new wheels as they look like they've been driving along a curb all day long and one is buckled. Seems to drive fine but there is a rattle when accelerating- Duel mass flywheel? Maybe Thanks for everyone's help

Looks like the sport model with those wheels? Has it got the recaros too? We downsized to 16” fat five spoke wheels from a TT with chunkier tyres as the 17” wheels give a pretty harsh ride. Rattles we had were the removable bonnet rattling at the corners nearest the windscreen and the bush wearing away on the anti roll bar so worth checking if your rattle is either of those although I seem to recall the bonnet one could only be heard whilst stationary and idling rather than under acceleration like your rattle. Enjoy.

Hi yes it's the sport, well spotted! just about same insurance as the 75bhp, the wheels will probably be changed, I think the 16 5 spokes ( I think there 5 anyway) look much better and will probably be cheaper to get a set than re furb these and yes it's a bit of a skateboard ride. I think the noise is coming from the gearbox area unfortunately. No idea about what the seats are, I'll find a pic. Cheers

Yes they’re the recaro seats, ours were blue but stained easily! Good luck in sorting the gear box rattle. Baby comps was the name of the wheels we had, although they’re not very clear in these photos due to their blackness!!

Very nice, I'd love an A2 as a daily but have never been able to find a reasonably priced one near enough to justify a purchase, possibly due to being on the south coast where everything seems to have an extra 'dahn sarf' tax on it...
They just look like little Tonka toys, ace!
