Quick wheel wash, not looking bad for a 14 yr old

Fixed the cruise control by cutting off 1 inch of perished rubber tube and re attaching, fixed a noisy EAS pump ( the previous owner had installed the mounts removing the metal spigots and tightening the pump down to the maximimum compression of the rubber !) waxed the whole car ( my arms hurt) , and got confused with a replacement ABS accumulator

Yes .. just bought the car..and going through all the niggles
 
Took my other half and her pony showjumping. She pulled very nicely and didnt give any worries at all!! :)

Wait for the tantrums tomorrow!!!!:eek:

Nice motor, wheels L322 ;)
No, wheels bog standard 16's. looking to replace them with 18" hurricanes when tyres are due for change! :D

She looks great from a distance, up close not so good, her previous owner wasn't nice to her. Will be giving her a good claying and waxing in the near future! Just need a free weekend!!:)

This evening I looked at it and just smiled, even tho the bloody thing is slowly bankrupting me there's just something about it... :)
 
Over the weekend, finished fitting new waterpump, thermostat ,hoses and {deep breath} new o rings! Re filled and so far so good after a minor battle with an air lock, used the short cut method described on this forum for the o ring change, yes the original screw was stuck and twisted my neck getting access but enjoyed it in a perverse way ! So far so good, someone had attacked the dash before a bit of a mess beneath the side covers etc.
 
cleaned intercooler / air intake manifold and plastic pipe in top of intake cleaned loads of electrical contacts and sorted a few dodgy wires and took hot start of its now gone from 8.9mpg to 18mpg wuuup a doooo
