colin Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Fiat and Pug have (different) fixes for water ingress (nicknamed scuttlegate) , Citreon may have but they are not so popular here so not sure if anyone has had one 'fixed' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Smaller wheels - lower overall gearing - assuming same ratio final drive - might help going backwards but not forwards at cruising speed which will be possibly, but not neccessarily, noisier and thirstier - and possibly nippier!

Derek Uzzell Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 X250 was the Citroen/Fiat/Peugeot 'project reference'. To the best of my knowledge all 'X250' Citroens have the same technical specification (ignoring the badge) as X250 Peugeots. The difference between X250 Citroens/Peugeots and X250 Fiats is that the Fiat range includes a 2.3litre motor that isn't used by Citroen/Peugeot. No X250 uses factory-fitted 17inch wheels.

Derek Uzzell Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Fred: I'm amazed you need to ask that question. I thought everybody knew that the piskies at the Cornish Round Objects factory at Tywardreath have a virtual monopoly on wheel manufacture and distribution. Piskies, unsurprisingly, have a very traditional outlook and are pathologically keen to retain the old ways. Because piskies - not being human - are not subject to EU law, they can legally continue to produce wheels that have their diameter specified in inches. In fact, there have been car wheels with metric diameters that required tyres to match. See http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/Michelin-trx.php I understand that Michelin's initiative to make the millimetre the world wheel-diameter measurement unit came to nothing due to unrelenting pressure and threats from the infamous piskie mafia (Cosa Pasty).
