Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo now with VNT

[Frosty]

So I had a look into the reason why I had relays full of water the other day. So took the wiper motor out and there was some crap underneath that may have been blocking the drain hole





I cleaned all that out but also the plug that goes through to the dash was cracked on the top so I put some trust gaffer tap over that. I hope it has sorted it but not sure yet as haven't had any more heavy rain.

I have a few other bits that I wanted to look at so I popped into work on Saturday. I got a few noises that are annoying me which 1 sounds like a air leak when I boot it but after a well it stops so I was thinking maybe a slight exhaust gas leak so I checked the exhaust manifold was all tight and any other places I fort it may of been coming from but could find any thing that was causing it and it still does it so that's a bit of a pain. Also I have a 'snack' noise coming from under the car usually over bumps which I fort sounded like exhaust but yet again I cant find anything that I think can be causing that. The only thinks I can think it could poss now be is the heat shield that clips to the steering rack or my rear axle which brings me on to the fact my axle how has play on the driver side so I will have to fit another axle sometime.

Carrying on with the bad news my central locking decided to start playing up on the driver door. So I had a look into that and the drivers door loom isn't looking to happy





I found 2 broken wires so I sorted that but I want to fit another loom sometime soon. But by fixing the wires I now have my auto window on the driver side working and the driver side electric mirror working but not the passenger side for some reason.

And to top it all of every now and then on full boost I have clutch slip so will have to fit a new clutch sometime soon. I should of prob fitted a new 1 when I put the engine in but I wanted to save a bit of money and the clutch that is on it isn't really that old. I will prob wait till it gets worse till I change it and I think I will fit a valeo clutch

Other than all them bad bits I am absolutely loving it. Loving the pull of it and getting over 500 miles to a tank
