Title: Hello from New Zealand
Post by: stevooonz on August 04, 2015, 11:06:55 AM

Hi All, we are an English family from Lancashire originally. The wife was looking for a manual car for our son and came across what is now our little 126! its like a nostalgia trip having had one 20 years ago. Anyway, it hasn't been on the road since 2002 ( it was in a corner of a garage). it runs / drives, but needs a good comprehensive service. has anybody got a comprehensive list of what to service. im pretty happy with the bodywork  - it has no rust (that can be seen anyway) apart from a small hole in the tailpipe.
does anybody know who ships parts internationally for when I start. Ste

Welcome to Club126UK :welcome
It's best to get a Haynes workshop manual, which covers all of the servicing procedures. It's all pretty straightforward but pay special attention to the kingpins (require greasing regularly) and the unusual centrifugal oil filter which requires cleaning http://club126uk.co.uk/index.php?pid=6
