Silicone the heads of the screws on the scuttle too.

Rite, didn't do that, Gona take it off again to check the NS at the weekend so will do that then, A Million Thanks and may the RR Gods smile on you.

Fitted a second cig socket in the boot, now I have one that is always live and one that is ignition switched.

Went to fit new ABS accumulator but the old one won't budge! Should they "just" unscrew or need a strap wrench of some sort?

Fitted the new to me steering wheel after changing the bottom plastic boss which was damaged in transit. When tested the volume buttons didn't work !! Stripped the ones out of my old wheel and changed them. All back together and the seller has made a partial refund for the problems I had. Result, and thank you GMH vehicle recyclers Cardiff, pleasure doing business with you.

Cleaned my MAF sensor and fitted new rear seatbelt plugs as old ones had started to stick and give up.

Fitted New anti-roll-bar bushes and drop links, bugger top bolts... wish I had a lift

open end spanner, oil filter tool, large gripping tool or eat your oats in the morning

Eventually got my rear bumper off, had to attack it with an angle grinder. Surprised to see that the mounting arrangements are replaceable so ordered two new rear mounting brackets and one side mounting bracket. Chassis itself is completely rust free so bit of a result as I thought I'd have to get the Mig welder out to rebuild the mounts. Changed over the colour coded inserts to the new bumper. I'll give it all a good coat of Waxoyl tomorrow ready for re-installation when the new bits arrive next week. Unfortunately I'll have to use my other car for a few days (Porsche 944 Turbo SE - 250 BHP of pure fun!!!) as the wife will want to use the family car (VW Golf).

yes they should but if you look at your new one you will see you can get a spanner on it to

Yes I see that but can't seem to fit a spanner to the old one! I'll try a strap wrench tomorrow.

Passed its MOT with no fails or advisories

Replaced accumulator (used oil filter wrench to remove) and new wipers!

broke it! well the sodding metal valve on one tyre.

one dust cap was too tight to get off by hand so get the pliers on it, and snapped the valve off!

BLOODY ANNOYING

New Exhaust and new belt!

Still got a whine though.

Checked the brakes & VCU, greased the props, checked all fluids & tyre pressures, fitted the dash cam and tacked the headling up with some plastic studs ready for our UK trip

Took out, cleaned and sealed the N/S pollen filter housing and had a look under the dash as the blend motors aint working. :confused2:

Paid my repair bill. £1060.80. There goes my daily driver savings.

[edit: oh yes, and I think the heater plugs are giving up the go. Slow to strike up recently.]

replaced the rocker cover gaskets to cure an annoying oil leak hopefully all cured. new inlet gasket for good measure.

what a pig of a job but having done it once reckon i could do it again in a couple of hours

removed the headlining last week from the classic.. today glassed some cracks and weak spots on the biscuit board, before the new foam goes on, removed the sunroof panel, un froze the drive cables, looks like the clutch is slipping does anyone know which way to turn the 21mm hex head to increass clutch torque ?? Ie is it standard or reverse thread ? going either way makes no difference !

Removed the sunroof headlining panel..

and on the P38, took the wife to a get a floor standing lamp

Just done gearbox oil and filter change and transfer box oil change, used pump up garden sprayer to put oil in like others on here, Really easy now.
