My 2.0 MJ Limited will be for sale in next couple of weeks. As advertised below it is a 2012 61 plate car currently running private plate that will be removed next week. Just awaiting updated V5 then car will be advertised. Just under 105,000 miles, 10 months tax & MOT, serviced November, 2 new front tyres this week. Great car but has a fault whereby battery drains if car not used within 3 days. Not had it investigated, but it's not the alternator. Bluetooth also not working. Everything else works fine. Also alloys scuffed and marks on rear bumper damaged by sons bike. 25mm scratch/minor dint under o/s rear light. Rest of car excellent. Full Lancia badging, owned over 3 years. Wife has replacement car coming next Tuesday so Delta will be uninsured thereafter. Tried to be as honest as possible with description. Looking for £2000 ovno if anyone interested. Please PM me if so. Thanks.

I'm sure I have somewhere, but the question is where? I have been asked this before and failed to deliver so am reluctant to say yes. If I do come around to finding them, I will let you know.

The stickers were some that I had made when I organised the 2017 Lancia Motor Club Great Northern Weekend (GNW) in the Lakes. I had to have a minimum of about 100 made and gave out around 50 to the entrants, so I cut them up & used the Lancia logo's as window 'etchings'.

Sat Nav has self corrected, TPMS fine as well- Hopefully both resolved. Just the blue-tooth that's still not playing ball.

Nello, Yes just stickers- the Chrysler etchings do still remain as it's just too much of a ball ache to remove, although I do believe it can be with a little time. Paul

Mikey, I will keep until the virus clears and a sense of normality returns and in the meantime sort out the electrical issues (assuming straightforward and not vastly expensive) and if this works, I will get it fully valleted (myself) & hopefully the wife will start enjoying again cos it's a great small luxury car that looks really smart especially with the matching gloss black roof & grille and has all the (albeit some are now dated) toys. Cheers, Paul.

Thanks Mikey, I will look into it tomorrow. It just seems strange that everything has happened all at once since the new battery was fitted, or perhaps it just doesn't like exceeding six figures on the mileometer!

I have 2. 0M-J and am looking to sell soon. It is a Jan 2012 car, std top model Limited spec plus the 18" wheels. 101,000 miles. Excellent condition except kerbed alloys. FSH, belt change, aux belt, water pump & DPF Filter changed at 85k miles (Oct '18). Serviced annually, recent front tyres & battery. Sat Nav & Bluetooth just started playing up but hopefully can get resolved before sale. 2 keys. I fully turned it into Lancia when purchased in Nov'17 at 65k miles with OE black gloss Momo grille, steering wheel airbag, wheel centre caps, sill covers, badging including rear quarters, with windows, engine cover & headrests badged as Lancia too. 4 owners in total, MOT until October 2020. Any idea on it's value? I was thinking somewhere between £2,000 & £2,500 if electrics mentioned above fixed. All advice appreciated.

My car has recently gone over 100,000 miles- it's a 2.0 M-J, it's had a new battery recently replaced and in the last 1,000 miles firstly the bluetooth phone connection has stopped working, the TPMS plays up despite tyre pressures being good (unless I raise to 36 Psi all round whereby it seems content) and now the Sat Nav is showing the car to be approximately 10 miles from where it actually is. I have removed the SD card and replaced it but to no avail. Does anyone else suffer this issue and can anyone advise on how to recify it? All advice greatly appreciated, thanks. Paul

In my experience the 18" wheels no matter what tyres are fitted although looking good are poorly designed with exposed edges that are prone to kerbing. Even the tyres that claim to have edge protectors eg Good Year efficiency have failed to prevent rim damage- something my wife is very good at (don't tell her I said that). I'd be interested to know if there are any tyres out there that do actually provide protection to this as I don't want to get the wheels refurbished only for them to become damaged first time out. Paul.

I just took mine to Halfords where they charged me a minimal amount to install. It took five mins, they took care of the old battery too. Once fitted all the dash warning lights came on but disappeared after 20 secs & I was good to go- just had to change the date/time settings which was simple enough even for me. Paul.

Hi there, This is my first post despite having the car for 2.5 years. The steering wheel controls for the bluetooth phone system no longer work, yet all other controls on it do so now it won't recognise any of the phones. Has anyone suffered a similar fate and can advise if it is a simple job to fix, there is obviously no advice in the handbook. Any feedback would be appreciated thanks. Paul.
