I have been playing around with the adjustment on the door striker plate and I think I have now got it so I don't have to slam the door several times to get it to close properly and still not have gaps around the door seal.
 
Currently fitting new hand break shoes and new expander unit. im a little puzzled though, does anyone know if the expander unit is supposed to sit flush to the back of the drum, ie. it stays tight against the drum and the whole unit doesnt move back and forth. Little hard to explain but i think its why i was have problems last time.


Is there supposed to be a clip, or wash on the little bit of the expander unit that pokes out the back of the drum? there are two grooves on the unit.

DAM...lol

well today, in the sunshine, oh, plus a fleese under a coat till i got sweaty ;)
I rewired in one new ceramic headlight plug so I got both dipped & main beams,
the other side was easier for the moment, just a bad joint, so got the ceramic plug still to do on another sunny day.
while I was there, I joined the twin fog lights switched feed to dip beam, through another used but great ex Lada relay, one of many we salvaged from a samara we run in for scrap a few years ago...
got lights can travel...

as the Essex county council have decreed that we dont need street lights on after midnight till 5am in the mornings,
I really really needed my lights & fogs working eh...

Yaa I found those parts. They are on order! Tis a pain. I was very excited about having a handbrake that comes on only when I tell it too :)

Never mind. Shall have to pick another warming day when I have the parts. Just want to sort my final glow plug now

4-cleaned back out sealed it all up with silicone then off b&q got some sound deading roll glued to roof and both sides then had it ply lined looks smart
5-did the ceramic heater mod for the back window wired it to the heated back window switch on dash
6-put 2 side steps on now i dont get any more pulled muscles haha
7-adjusted hot heater cable now its nice hot
8-4x new door hinges fixed broken lock now i can lock door had door welded on sides as the door card was flapping about
9-changed oil and filters bit nightmare ill explain oil filter taking off big pipe under it why put a pipe under it so you cant get oil filter off ahh well got it done replaced sump washer with one that came with me filters oil leaking next day from it sump bolt tight as chuff,so had drain new oil out again see whats going on new metal sump washer too big lucky i kept old washer put the 2 washers on no oil leak now
10-gearbox was crunching going in to 3rd so had gearbox oil changed diff oils changed back diff was like mayo had transfer box oil changed


still few things to do carpet back out and roof change rear door rubber and metal strip but getting there now
can any one suggest how i can get out of hi gear on transfer box it goes to the left and diff lock light come on but i cant move it forward in to neutral or low thanks.
 
Ordered some cleaner for the MAF and MAP sensors so I can do them at the same time as removing the EGR. Discovered the correct part numbers for the roof bar gaskets on my version of D2 and bought some locking hole plugs as I might just leave the bars off when I fix the sunroofs.
 
Fitted 2 new rear shocks after one snapped on Saturday. Glad it did though or I wouldn't have done it for a while, the snapped one was seized all the way down and the other side wasn't rebounding. What a difference to the way it drives.

Now I need to order some dislocation cones as the new shocks are plus 2 and the rear springs always need a little help to seat again.
 
Drove the 90 about.

Considering selling the series 3, not got the money to restore it and i'd rather get some of the money back that i've thrown into it ( £1k in the last year :O )
 
Well I drove mine too :D Second time I've checked out a road locally that was "unsuitable for motors" thats both of them now :)

Anyway nothing actually done BUT I have ordered: 2m of 3.2mm ID cloth covered fuel pipe for the returns, a delphi fuel pump and gasket, a replacement new style 300TDi exhaust rear half, washer pump for the rear, wiper blades and arms for the front and a wiper switch
