The dog rough estate
#1
What have I bought?

[Image: 1510830_607571512641337_272050592_n_zps81021d0f.jpg]

So after a 5 hour train trip I picked up the dog rough estate on Friday.

There was no head unit so I  took a spare to find no speakers fitted. Lee offered to fit some he had but they were from a phase one and would have to be modded to fit as the connectors weren't the same. I was a bit short of time so had to pass.

It is every bit the dog that was advertised but it got me back home. The battery light came on a couple of times but the car kept going.

The car is very slow and loose to drive. I think the cold starting issue might be to do with bad injectors and/or HP pump. Starting issue was down to the Injectors , replaced them with cleaned nozzles 076's 03/04/15

Today I got chance to have a good look around it as on Friday evening it had got dark by the time I had got there and all I can say is it's in a bad way.

I thought I'd have a look at the fuel filter as they sometimes never get changed. When I got the lid off it didn't look too bad but I replaced it anyway. The lid was very stiff to turn and I think I could do with changing it now as it got a bit mangled.

Some of the other faults;

all door check straps need replacing, Lubricated check strap, only N/S/R needs replacing 16/02/14
drivers door hinge broken, Fixed, it was just missing bolt 14/03/14
front passenger door has been replaced but the bolts were loose, tightened bolts 15/02/14
loose battery terminal, Bodged repair to clamp 16/02/14
no remote C/L. Programmed new remote fob to car 16/03/14
Only one key. Programmed new key transponder to car
water in passenger footwell, Sealed front doors weather curtain 01/03/14
light switch on stalk broken, Replaced 15/03/14
rev counter broken, Fixed, reseated needle 16/02/14
airbag light on, Fixed, Drivers seat connection 15/02/14
ABS light on, Fixed, osf plug wasn't connected 15/02/14
hand brake warning light blown, fixed
wiper rubbers gone hard, replaced front wipers 15/02/14
clutch almost to the floor and heavy, removed assistor spring on peddle and spaced out cable on fork to raise pedal 15/02/14
Glow plug relay faulty. Replaced unit 15/03/14
dampers need replacing (offside front damper has been on the advisory of the MOT for the last 3 years), Replaced front dampers with good used dampers of a HDI Dturbo, will be using the springs too soon 13/04/14
rear discs need changing, Replaced discs and pads 14/04/14

needs fluids changing, 
engine oil, Oil and filter change 21/04/14
coolant, Drained going to flush before putting new coolant in 21/04/14
power steering, Drained went took engine out 21/04/14
brake fluid,
Overdue cambelt and water pump, changed cam belt kit and water pump 217k water pump had four out of the eight vanes broken 21/04/14
thermostat, Changed thermostat 21/04/14
thermostat housing leaking, Replaced housing as the old one was warped 23/04/14
auxiliary belt need replacing, replaced with tensioner 21/04/14
missing offside skirt, 
missing trim on offside wing,
dent to bonnet,
boot trim above number plate wrong colour (makes it look like the boots got a mustache),
loose front bumper,
scratch down to metal on the wing,
paint worn off offside wing mirror cap,
rear number plate delaminating,
oil marks on paint work,
NSR ach liner missing, I hope that rust spot hasn't set in.

That's just off the top of my head.

Good points;
Rear beam with no camber (Just found the rear beam and mounts to be shot 14/04/14)
Brakes work well
All the electric windows work front and back
Heater works

I was warned that it was bad. I don't know how people can let a car get so bad. I know it's not Lees fault as he only had the car around a month.

I bought it thinking I could do a bit of work on it and it could turn out to be a nice little car.

There is a lot of work to be done to get it to an acceptable standard.

The advert http://306oc.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=20329

The old project thread http://306oc.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=20151

My plans at this stage are to get it to a roadworthy standard then I may go stage 2.

I've ordered an R70 pump and I will be putting the old injectors out of my Dturbo in. Hopefully that will cure the starting issue. I've also got a twin pass intercooler on it's way.

I will be adding some photos later.
