well after nearly 12 months of owning my czc its time to say goodbye, ive had many faults with the car and all seem to have in the end been fixed its a great little car and is good fun wjen your topless :auto:
ive experineced most of the common problems and some of the less common too!!! so i have a fix for most things, having had spacestar before i have now decided to go for a brand new lancer in black which i hope to get very soon so ill still be poking around the froums for a while to come, if you need to know anything about your czc shot up a post and ill help out if i can.

common faults on the czc which ive come across are......

leaky roof
poor roof seals
windows that go up and down when trying to close
boot opens for no reason
squeaky windows
engine hunting
crunching on reverse
noisy display
central door locking
steamy headlamps
drifting to left

all of these have been fixed and are now fully correct!! my little czc has done only 2408 miles so the next owner should be well happy with her and its got the exclusive chrome hoops behind the rear seat as well as the full chrome trim inside.

well im off to read my lancer brochure agaun for the 100th time!!!!!
hope you all enjoy your colts

Not getting rid of the convertible already.... :huh: And having sorted out all the problems as well.

I'm having a really great time with mine, and having done the towing conversion, it just did a week's holiday (before the rain started!!) with the RV. Planning on keeping mine for a while yet. It's now done about 150 miles more than yours (it's had quite a lot of use since I bought it 2 months ago), so I'll keep my fingers crossed that I do not suffer the same set of problems as you had, but so far, so good. Having sorted the problems on yours, and with that mileage, I would agree that someone is going to get a great little motor. Hope you get a buyer quickly. :thumbsup:

well guys i pick my new lancer up on wednesday hope you all enjoy your colts :)

Does that mean you're going to have to change your ID now you've got rid of the CZC? :thumbsup:

haha no ill be sticking with czc for the time being that way youll know its me!!! :clap: :beer:

when i part exchanged mine i got £11500 back for it so quite a good deal really, i do know that there are people who ordered czc in feb time and due to pinnifarina having problems people are still waiting for them so it was a good time to sell, i did have fun in my czc but now its time to be sensible for a while just wished i could afford to have both but maybe when im in a mid life crisis ill get another czc :laughing: :laughing:

Aww, i love my CZC and its due its first service this month...

I got a broke roof which i'll get fixed when i take it in...

U said u might have solutions to common problems, can u tell me what u did about these:

i got misty foglight

i get water in my drivers footwell...

how did u get chrome hoops? have u got pics of them?

thanks

I must be very lucky as i've had no problems with my CZC. I didn't even have to wait for it. I got it back in April or May and drove it away within a week of ordering it. There is a lot of wind noise from the left hand side on the motorway but no detectable draught. My roof doesnt leak and I can't spot anything else at fault. It's very bumpy though. Are they all like that?
