My Belmont 1.8 Sxi

[s_k_isaacs07]

Finally managed to get some pictures of my car, so thought would show you guys. I use to have a nova 1.2 and managed to get my hands on this.

Has got quite a few miles on it but still runs really well. Few electric problems like the electric window switch is temperamental so got to get new switch for that. Also the heated rear window doesn’t work either, not sure what to do about that? Also got same problem with rust but is only one bad spot

Is brilliant motor for its age and I also don’t seem to see many lately which is good, only problem is struggling to find bits for it at scrap yards (probably a good thing not a lot near me)!

check the line's across the back screen to see if any are broken or burned
you can repair them with a repair kit

Re: My Belmont 1.8 Sxi

a mate had a belmont sri a couple of years ago, i was pissed off that he just rn it into the ground! it ended up burnt out or scrapped i cant remember which.
I quite like the belmont and like you said, they are getting very rare nowadays and yours looks a tidier example than most thats for sure!

Re: My Belmont 1.8 Sxi

I used to have a 1.6 L belmont, always wanted a more sportier model like the SXI.

That car is in bloody good condition.

Re: My Belmont 1.8 Sxi

looks nice! the heated rear window not working could be somethin stupid like one of the connections has come off of a fuse blown.

Re: My Belmont 1.8 Sxi

Found out that the electric switches are the same as the ones on an H reg GTE 16v so going to some more scrappies next weekend to have a look if any of those about, but must admit not seen any lately.

If anyone does see or have some, that would be great if you could let me know.

Car had a service this weekend which it did desperately need and now runs a bit better.
