[Toms306]

Thought I better update this, still haven't washed it so no pics atm, but heres the list of whats been done so far!

Problems currently -

Seat hieght adjustment broken - not sure how/if to sort - Replaced height adjuster for scrapyard one...seat stays still now!
Handbrake feels a bit loose - will tighten itTightened
Aux belt looks old and starting to crack - will be changed with serviceBelt replaced....tensioner became really noisy though so replaced that also
Accelerator is really light compared to Sams, not sure if the pedal needs tightening to the bulkhead or if Sams is just unusually heavy lolGot used to this - no action required
Oil just reaches the dipstick - err I'll top it up obvServiced anyway
Bonnet release handle doesnt 'spring' back so the bonnet bounces - just remember to push the handle closed againMeh...I'll live with this
Drivers door speaker inop - hopefully broken speaker, at worst broken loom.Broken wire in door loom, now fixed

So thats the probs out the way, next up mods - now I've really gotta NOT get carried away with this...but I know I will lol. So everything has to be free or cheap as poss!

Ph2 skinny headrest - Gonna be cheeky and ask Sam if I can swap with the fat ph3 headrests from one of his cars lol - Free (I hope!)Still have these hard uncomfortable headrests
