Welcome

Hello,

Welcome to this unique forum! I hope that you will find what you need to get your Pinin in good shape! What sort of Pinin do you have, year, engine...Be careful as the pinin in the UK might not be exactly the same as the one we have in Australia or other places. Same advices for every one, try to read as more as you can here!

Happy io/pinin

Hi,Thanks for the welcome

Hi,

Thanks for the welcome its a 2003 1.8 Mpi permanent 4wd with a manual box. i think you guys call it a ZR ? Over here its the Warrior version.

 

I bought it brand new on my 21st birthday with 4 miles on the clock - now on 72k not 100% sure how many Km that is but im sure still plenty of life in it. Bought it back from my folks after deciding that a needed a cheap truck to get me through when it snows, (rather than using my Volvo or mg) as well as to transport my dog back and forth when we go out into the woods.

welcome aboard mate. be

welcome aboard mate. be ineteresting to see what you come up with in the coming months/years. sourcing stuff in the uk is a little easier i think, as the market for the pinin is bigger in europe than in oceania. you should be able to find a few more thing available to you. talk to ando from this forum as he is also from the uk and might be able to help you a little more.

Thanks for the welcomeIs it?

Thanks for the welcome

Is it? too be honest im finding it quite difficult to find parts and other bits and pieces for it - im not planning on going mad as ive got another 2 cars as well, but im undecided on which route i should take - street machine or off road trucker.

Ive been looking a changing the exhaust system as it seems a little flawed having that many bends so close to the (and including the) back box

What i might do is buy some road alloys and have a spare set for mudding and green laning smiley
