After a couple of days driving, the new clutch master seems to be performing as it should so refitted the underdash panel. Before doing that though I had another go at identifying the part of the loom for the leccy door mirrors, found a connector that has the right number of wires (6) and most of them are the right colour. Looks like I shall have a go at finding somewhere that can sell me a link lead to connect to the switch.
Flushed with success I thought I'd check the wattage of my reversing lights as they are absolute sh1te, struggled to get a bulb out, 21w as standard, tried changing for a fresh bulb but now can't get either to lock into the fitment.
On a positive note, changed the doris' door lock motor for one I had in stock off an old disco. Central locking now works at least till next week.

They never can. I think their ears work differently to ours. Same with red lights on the dash, they just cannot see them. However, have a chat with the pretty thing down the end of the street and she can see and hear through 6 hedges and a solid fence. Natural selection of some sort I'm sure.
Stared through the workshop doors at my immobile beast hoping the new cam sensor will arrive tomorrow.

Drove her! Took her yesterday and got wheel balance checked....... good call to whoever said before it could still be balance at really narrow speed window. Looks like at least one weight had come off. Seemed better today but difficult driving conditions made it hard to properly check. Got to do a motorway drive at weekend, so hopefully will be able to sit at 70mph for long enough to check.
Inspection light has started to show at start up, so that's got to be seen to. However, for now it was just nice to drive her.

View attachment 139499 Nearly got it stuck!!
Was damn nearly pooping...
Attacked the track from the wrong end up a slight incline. Got a couple of meters then stuck, backwards then forwards then a bit of progress then stuck again. That was a bloody long two hundred metres
Unusual front grille?
I made it myself, wanted some bright lamps on it for the country roads here, the lamps were cheaper than LR fogs, so I made a grill so I could mount them on ma' bus without drilling holes in the bumper or body work.
New cam sensor finally arrived so fitted that and the beast fired up first time and after a 50k run no problems all happy again. Now contemplating wooden blocks or axel stands for when I park up on Monday for 9 months again as dreaded work calls again.

Cheers, That's what I am planning as I have had new bags and tyres put on over this winter so want to stand as best I can with the least amount of weight.
