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

Cathartic · Mar 14, 2014

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

No, wheels bog standard 16's. looking to replace them with 18" hurricanes when tyres are due for change!

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!!

Do they work themselves loose then? Great!

Who knows. Unless someone has had it off before. All needed a quarter turn.

Possibly. Diff bolts repeatedly came loose on the front diff on my P38 until I refitted with Locktite.

Passed an mot! Woooo

TSC · Mar 17, 2014

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.
