Soo then, been a while since i touched this last! the Accidental purchase has been on the road for about a month now. Done a fair amount to get it there.
Fans - both fans jammed, seems after the little bump it seems to have encountered before i bought it, the same fans had been put back in. So bent them all back into shape seemsthe motors burnt out so a cheeky swap with the 1.8 auto fans and radiator while i was there worked a treat!.
Mirrors - swapped with the 1.8's work fine now.
Door lock - fecked actuator!
Gear linkages done! in my car park with a pair of long nose pliers, long ass flathead screwdriver and a toffee hammer - Oh on the scissor jack! with some titanium adjustables £42.50 fleabay!
New disks and pads all round
Rebuilt rubber brake lines on 2 corners
Cable tied the front bumper back up - winner!
Rear wiper changed with the 1.8!
Clutch - knackered..... oh well.
Cam-belt being changed on monday coming along with the collapsed rear shocks...
Rear beam is going to need refurbishing soon though as the camber on the back is ridiculous.
figured out where the oil is coming from.... the EGR elbow on the inlet blowing crap out of the gasket, what is the best way to proceed with this? clean it up and put a new gasket on, or blank it off, considering i don't really have the time to rip the pointless system out, all i'll have the time to do is blank just that off.
Inner archs - still flapping about in the breeze, i'm over that!
Anything i can do further to increase Horsepower without ruining a car that has over 150000 miles on the clock that does nearly 1000 miles a week?
and a bonus would be to keep the MPG high!!
