Great looking little car, I have the same colour on a 19 plate and just had to have a new slave & master cyl on the clutch which was creaking. Yesterday I had a cambelt/water pump. I also recently put on 4 new Avon ZV7's and had a service. I'm too old and riddled with Arthritis to be able to work on my car any longer so it's cost me over £1200 in the last 6 months but I absolutely love these little cars and hopefully done spending for a while ( famous last words 🤣) Really enjoyed the video and looking forward to hearing how you get on with the coolant problem.
9.50 Hi great videos,If when your trying to remove lambda sensors ,your able to run the engine and get it warm ,then stop the engine and try and remove the sensor ,I found it helped.
Avoid those split sensor sockets. They will slip and round off a tight sensor every time. You should have just cut the wires flush with the sensor and used a 1/2 inch drive 6 point deep socket. Also, the sensor won't affect starting as it doesn't really function until the engine warms up and goes into closed loop.
Miracles do happen though my 2013 Lounge version wuith 87k on the clock only went and passed the Mot all it needed was handbrake adjustment total including mot cost £100 all done , so yeah I may sell it if anyones interest a yellow 500 everything al good , I want to get a bigger car as i have health issues and yeah a 500 is no good as i live in a rural area , A Volvo i want probably S40 or similar
You should be okay storm wise - we have it really bad in west wales currently (7th dec 11:30) but it should calm down before it gets to you. Hope this car stops causing you issues soon 🤞🤞
Really nice looking car with the new alloys and the funky seats.

This one was certainly a challenge!

I agree on sensor , o2. Not impacting start
lamda sensors are not the issues for not starting,lamda sensors job is to control fuel/air ratio and generally comes active after the car warms
Love500 excellent
