ive just bought my neighbours daewoo lanos off them. its the 2001 1.6sx se model, fully loaded with all the gear. other than having a broken fuel flap, and a bit of trim missing under the headlight, its fairly straight. and she used to carry a dog inside, so its minging.
anyone know of any faults or problems they have? i think it has a engine mount or two gone, its fairly juddery, and has a slight idleing problem, its revs high or stalls, bit restared will settle into a sweet idle.
it only cost me £200, i took a gamble as a work daily. anyone shed ideas on the faults?
thanks, jay

My old dears got one (that I bought her... bad son!)
There based on mk2 astra underpinnings and running gear, Don't know if yours is an 8v like hers, i'd guess its a 16v??
She had a bad idle, judder, flat spot which was totally cured by removing the throttle body and thoroughly cleaning it.. had to poke welding wire down a couple of blocked vacumn drillings near the airflap.
As said, yours might be different but i'd have a look there.
Also if the heater controls break (they usually do) check around the footwell for broken end clips on the control wires
In general though they seem pretty robust if looked after, its old technology for the cars age.

I was told they are the same mechanicals as the mk2/3 Astras (as well as the Nexia).

An old girlfriend of mine had one from new and it spent more time back at the deaters for various electrical gremlins than it did in her possesion i seem to remember, she sold it back to them after 6 months.

The Lanos came after and had some kind of curse word SOHC and DOHC lumps of Daewoo's own design. Which invariably were toss. |

The Nexia is a slightly modernised mkII astra, The Lanos is entirely Daewoo designed and shares its mechanicals with nothing else.

i have a 2.5 v6 one with a calibra engine in it (not a straight fit) but a red top or vaux hall 8 valve will slot straight in they even bolt to the std gear box cracking car (when you put a vaux engine in em) and the chassis is way stronger than the nexia  |

Pretty sure your wrong there Dave, I bought all the service kit for my old dears 8v lanos from vauxhall, including cambelt, waterpump and tensioner, oil pressure sender etc. It was all vauxhall branded parts and all fitted straight on (the vauxhall dealer in leicester used to be a dual vauxhall/daewoo dealer!) The engine even looks exactly the same as the old gm 8v. |
