Unusual little thing Japanese import. (JDM yo) All Wheel Drive Remote central locking Power steering, windows, mirrors, power folding mirrors. 1.5 petrol no rot. auto on column with overdrive ABS air bags CD and cassette player AC( not working) I have just replaced the thermostat so the heater is nice and warm now i have also replaced 3 tyres , battery and both cv boots. Passed MOT today with one advisory which was a tyre worn close to limit. Not perfect by any means, tailgate has a dent , faded paint for example and idle speed is a bit low.

I can picture the design meeting:
Haruto: "Okay, so we need a new small family car folks..."
Kaito: "Let's make it a 4 door then."
Itsuki: "But lets have the doors slide."
Haruto: "That makes perfect senses, approved."
Itsuki: "And a 1.5 engine for power."
Haruto: "Yes..."
Kaito: "with AWD!"
Haruto: "But of course."
Itsuki: "and a column shift auto box."
Haruto: "This all seems very logical to me."
Kaito: "But what should we call it??"
Itsuki: "hmmm it is tricky, it is sure to be a huge seller so it needs a striking name..."
Haruto: "What is this we've been drinking all afternoon?"
Kaito: "I think it is pronounced RAUM by the Gaijin."
What a perfectly bonkers little car. Good stuff, hope it stays around RR stable somewhere.

It has a solid 5 link banjo type rear axle so anything's possible.

Now this I like! How many miles has it done? I'm intrigued by the low idle speed. Like how low is low?
|
|

122k kms, so 76,000 miles or so
Maybe 400rpm when cold? YOu need to give it a tiny bit of throttle when starting. It feels like the fast idle thing that is supposed to make if idle higher when it is cold is not working. Could be a gummed up solenoid / air valve or something, Seems to be ok when warm. I've not investigated or tried to adjust the idle, but there is a (vacuum?) switch on the power steering that increases the idle when you operate the steering, that seems to work .

Bought a tyre for it today and have replaced the one they advised on the MOT.
Could use a new number 3 spark plug cable as it has had a repair.

Having never seen one before you picked this one up, I happened to see an Irish-registered one at Lakeside today.

In case the person who bought this is reading this, and still has the car, a spare key has turned up for it.
