Be like me don't drink tea or coffee. That way you drive straight past
Replaced the pollen filters, now I have plenum foam once more. Really bad in there. Hands, spade, vaccum and finally I could see them! I think some gunk fell in as the blower now has an odd noise on max revs. I'm surprised the blowers have been working at all!

Almost pushed the button on the Westminster then spotted one close by that's a good runner apparently.
Bit older but same mileage and much cleaner inside.
Going looking tomorrow.
Had a gearbox refurb but apparently doesn't go into 6th gear in auto but does in manual. Been told its a problem with the cars ecu by the gearbox people.
Don't believe that for a minute so might need to sort gearbox out.
Also, radio not working. Not too bothered as I plan to fit and android unit anyway.
Just hope the sills and arches aren't totally rotten.

Changed the rear left airspring today and it was a struggle, worse than the rear right I did 2 days ago.
The clips pulled out easy and the old spring released quite quickly from the top mount but it all went down hill from there. I struggled on the other side trying to get the top 'home' enough to get the top clip in but I did it, this side was having none of it. I even used a finger air file to clean the spring mating face on the chassis so there was no rust, nothing to stop the top mount protruding enough to get the clip in but it still wouldn't go. I then cut the top off the old Dunlop spring and tried that...no problem, loads of clearance on the top to get the clip and the airline back in. A bit of measuring showed that the airline and the clip apertures were a mill or two lower on the cheapy britpart ones. Found the issue.
The only solution I could think of was to reduce the thickness of the top of the plastic mount where it touches the underside of the chassis slightly.
That, obviously, worked and the rest was straightforward.
These springs are britpart made in China and sell for around £60 each not the britpart ones that are dearer but are Dunlop made and marked as such.

To look at the rubber at the top you wouldn’t think it was bolloxed

The old spring that I cut open had no visible cracks inside opposite the cracks outside but it did look weathered in that area.

Would love it but I suspect that's close to a 10k motor and I simply don't have that.Get after this one
