Shark fins are pretty cheap.Good news: brilliant days' laning across Salisbury Plane on Saturday, with a great crowd of fellow LZ'ers
Nothing broke, nothing stopped. The doors didn't fall off.
Two minor irritations:
I've previously looked at the cost of the rubber hinge covers. They're around £30 each. Must be re-inforced with unobtainium? I had hoped that someone woke up and smelt some coffee, but instead they must have gone to Costa (other coffee outlets available).
- On the drive up from London, one of the decayed rubber bonnet hinge covers decided enough was enough and departed company with the car.
- On washing the Hippo the next day, I managed to break the aerial at the base mount on the roof - the cast base-metal hinge point sheared off (only gently nudged it with the high pressure hose, promise!)
I am thinking of the later, face-lift two part scuttle trim panel? @Nodge, I recall you mentioning that these are a straight swap? A question of removing the windscreen wipers, unscrewing the old and fastening the new?
Aerial base. That's another £20. Argh! None advertised on the bay of fleas (except new ones). May be I should contact a few advertisers advertising "breaking for parts"...?
Bugger!Pressure washed the engine bay. Loads of mud removed, but still mud trapped between the sump and undertray. I’ll need to remove it to clear out all the muck.
The really bad news is that 60 miles later, the 3 amigos have made an unwelcome apparence on the dashboard. Gulp. Have I drenched the ECU or has something else broken?!?
Will need to sort out a diagnostic session now...
That's what I had assumed too.The CAN code is there on manual vehicles as the instrument pack takes the gear position inputs (1st and reverse gear) and then transmits the status over CAN to the ABS module
Actually I also have a VW Polo expansion tank with coolant sensor, so might fit that instead
