We’ve finally moved to a house with a garage, so I’ll be able to keep any Copen we'll buy indoors. However, there aren’t many Copens for sale around the UK. Most of them are in poor condition, and even 1.3-liter models are rare. I found one 660cc Copen nearby that has been kept indoors for the past decade and also very very rarely driven. This makes me hesitant to buy it.

On the other hand, we’re planning to buy one and drive it to Europe this summer. For example, we could...

I've checked out all the obvious roof sensors. The little red light for open roof is not on but when i open the catches it comes on.
So I don't think that it's a roof thing.
Can anyone help me with which fuse does the windows?
I'm out in the country so i cant really check the workshop manuals and the in car manual basically days "Good luck with that. "

It's been a while since I've had a car that needs care.

I had a mechanic do a doublle pre purchase check for me.

He's of the same mind the wheel arches need attention but hasn't gone too far. He stated that getting this sorted and kept up, the chassis should give at least 10+ years.

I am wondering should I do all of it or just these areas?

I've attached the photos he took of the underside.

But also does anyone have any recommendations for the...

I am looking for some advice as I am thinking of changing the wheels on my 05 Copan. I have seen a set of Sparco Trofeo 4 wheels which are the following size:

15 x 6"
PCD 4 x 100
ET Offset 35.00
Centre Bore 63.40

These wheels come up when I select rims for Daihatsu Copen, but I am a little concered by the 6" width.

I am not to sure what the stock wheels are on the copan but my existing tyres...

Does anyone know what this hollow bolt in the front wheel arch is called and if there is a way to find a replacement and both mine are almost rusted through. Picture attached. Many thanks, Dan]]> 1
