The weekend I did a couple of small jobs and a check to see if it's ready for it's MOT.
When I turned the ac on I noticed drips of water from under the glovebox. I knew it wasn't the heater matrix as it was dripping in a different place.

The water was condensation of the evaporator in the ac unit. There was a broken piece of the housing. I silicone sealed it and it's been fine since.
Next I replaced the cracked flexi on the N/S/R. I was lucky the union to the body wasn't seized but the other end was so I removed the body side and turned the flexi instead of trying to turn the union on the other side as I couldn't get it to free up.

I also replaced the hand brake cable both side with newer ones that were with a beam I bought a while back.
Anyway pick the car back up this morning from the garage as I arrived back from work to late last night. I was surprised to see no advisories so I must be doing something right.

I've bought a new accelerator cable from ECP and the dam thing is in kit form. It was only £20 in the sale, if I bought it for there full price of £40 I would have returned it and bought a proper one from the dealer for £10 to save on the effort of getting it to fit and know I'd have a better item. So I've got that to fit one of the days this coming week.
