Removed wheel arch to get to electrical connections.
Led side light not working.
Found earth point for front lights & checked these. Cleaned up & replaced
Side light now working.

now spotted I may have a different bulb in headlight( use night breakers) 1 not as bright.

cleaned a few places up while searching for a leak. Have a few places, windscreen, air vents, door rubber to check
 
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?

Bonnet plastic round things on the bulkhead hinge
 
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 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!
 
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.
