Well had a good day at it with the car today whilst waiting for my new mattress to arrive which it now turns out is arriving next friday. Helpful!
Firstly, spent a hour setting up my adjustable drop links. Car now sits lower at the front and the new setup grips to the road stupidly well! Only bit that doesnt is the rear but its only been like that since i have had my 22.5mm bars in so considering selling them and getting some 21mm ones.
Got my oil leak sorted i think! Removed the brake servo pump and it had been leaking so sealed that up so hopefully thats the end of that. Also have a rather bad damp problem in the drivers footwell. Its not the heater matrix which is good but im struggling to find out what it is! Isnt the door seal as that is bone dry. Pull the carpet back and the water is running down from behind the dash by the looks of things which leaves me 3 options. windscreen is leaking. Doubt it as its always been fine before so what would change? rear washer hose has split behind the dash. Might just disconnect it from the pump and see what happens. Last, water is leaking in from the area where the wiper motor is. Removed it today and it was full of soil and leaves all of which was soaking. Hoovered it out (sure the old girl loves me for that) and sealed up the bolts that are in there for the dash so hopefully time will tell!
Willg et some pics up tomorrow when me and sam hopefully lower it some more and then you can all stop your whinging! lol
