Rave says yellow paint to mark how many times hub ball joints have been replaced.. any paint will have flaked off with rust eons ago!! Any chance the ball joints are original?
 
They could be, depends on the mileage and the road its been on mine i think are as i got it with 50k on clock and under 10 years old, they are next on my list to do:(
 
I looked at mine out of the lounge window as it was raining and thought..."Trust you to start to leak round your sunroof you ba$tard!" :(
Rubber seal/edge for the sunroof is on order. NOT looking forward to doing the job. :(

Wait for dry weather - temp fix of heavyweight clear plastic sheet over the whole roof and waterproof tape along windscreen top / driprails? We've done something like that on a flat conservatory roof with old perished rubber seals before now....

UK, dry weather.... Hmmmm. ;)
As I don't have any under-cover storage for the old gal, I will have to rip the thing out and do temporary "tent-top" as suggested. :)
 
Or you can make your own up the tool from rr is bloody expensive I found a guy on utube that made his own as did the late warmmers I think oh and today all I did was fit the new blend motors
 
Spent a couple of hours reading and weighing up the pros and cons of various battery chargers. Came down to either the CTEK CT5 or the Noco Genius 5. Leaning towards the Noco, fifty six quid from Halfrauds.
We've had one of these for the wife's Ka (and occasional use on other things) for about 5 years now. Works brilliantly and given us no problems. Wish I could have said the same for the Optimate that screwed the Triumph battery and left me stranded...

Ive been using CTEKs for many years now and will NOT use anything else. Nough said. LOL. I use the MSX-5 model and have just bought a STOP/START model for the missus car and a new MSX-10 model for my newly aquired L405.
