Nice to have a second home especially this quaint little fishing village on the banks of the river Clyde
My place is at the phoenix in Linwood
My own little purple palace with restaurant attached

Started to sort the leak out… bit of tiger seal in the gaps. Can’t really see any as galv & paint coves it well.
Give it a few weeks of rain then may look at windscreen rubber

Absolutely thrilled to have woken up this morning to a dry footwell. Despite the heavy rain, the new foam vent seals and pins have done a cracking job.
Attention has now turned to a rattling in the dashboard. I’ve replaced the binnacle for one of the metal ones from Raptor and added new LED bulbs, but I’m still getting a rattle.
Is this to be expected? Any known causes to help my search?

same as adding a length of heaterhose to the bonnet's front 'buffers' to try & calm the 'wobble' (it's ex-Army so has external spring-clasps that allow movement of the non-stealthy

Glued the window latch back on. It fell off a few weeks ago & I had some epoxy left over from a job I had just done & thought not to waste it.
drove it for 80miles during today.
Still has a leak into the motor from the rain. It’s not coming in through the pedals, still searching but it’s looking like it’s behind the dash

I've got one of those too ....
I looked at the 90 with sadness, it has got to go to a loving home. Someone who can fix it then use it as it was intended!

Cover it up for a rainy day…
It's under the carport atm, I don't think it will get fixed by my hand but you never know!

I keep looking in the classifieds for an engine. In fact there was a 300tdi for £290 local the other day.

That’s a good price… but more work to change from a 200 to 300

If he wants a V8 why you looking at dirty TDIs then
(you would also need to find the wider tunnels & floors for the V8… same as 300 TDI though)
I would say it’s easier than a TDI look for a carb motor no ecu to worry about

Drove it to where I work to let it dry in workshop before new front heated window n seal to be fitted , on route monsoon rain turned a corner and the drivers wiper and arm parted company across the road, I jump out to grab it before it gets driven over much to my partners amusement

Fixed the steering on me 90.
I had noticed the steering getting a bit optional lately, not too bad but needing to constantly be making minor corrections to keep in a straight line. I had fitted a refurbed steering box a couple of years ago so wasn't that but did think the drop arm might need a coat of looking at, got underneath while the doris waggled the steering wheel, it ended up being the lower uj on the steering column. Ordered a new one - and of course I ordered the wrong one - re-ordered and this time got the right one. Easy enough job swapping the joints, just mark things up with a stick of chalk before splitting joints.
Road tested and all good, it's a wonder how things gradually get worse over time and you don't notice, absoloutely transformed the drive.
